Film on Ballygar people's murders to feature on TG4
THE MURDERS of five Ballygar people in Malahide, Co Dublin, at the beginning of the last century is to feature in a half-hour TV series entitled Ceart Coir.
The murders involved four members of the McDonnell family who owned and operated a large general store and shop in the town up to 1918 when the family retired and moved to Malahide in north County Dublin.
The McDonnell family consisted of two brothers Joseph and Peter along with their two sisters Alice and Annie, all of whom were elderly and all of whom were unmarried. On leaving Ballygar the McDonnells took with them Jim Clarke a local young man from Killeroran who worked with them at their small farm which was attached to there extensive Malahide mansion, known as La Mancha.

Both Jim Clarke and Mary McGowan, a young Dublin girl who was employed as a housekeeper were also murdered.
The trial and subsequent conviction of Henry McCabe is still regarded as on of the great murder trials in Irish legal history. Henry McCabe protested his innocence right to the end but was hanged on December 29th, 1928 for the murder of six people at Malahide which is still recalled as The Malahide Murders. There is still a plaque in St Mary's Church, Ballygar to the memory of The McDonnell household.
The film, which goes out on TG4 on Thursday, January 25th at 10.30 p.m., will feature a reconstruction of the murder as well as footage taken in Ballygar and Malahide.

A film review that popped up on page two of a Google search for Clarke and Ballygar reads as follows:

Ms. Murphy,
Matthew Clarke my great grandfather and a cousin of the Murphys of Scranton PA, left Ballygar around 1850 and founded the Clarke Store in Scranton which became Clarke Brothers (circa 1855-1927). The first, largest and last store on Lackawanna Ave. burned to ashes in Jan. 1927, being owned at that time by my Grandfather and namesake, George W. Clarke and his older brother Edward who both died within a day of each other in June, 1930. I visited the Clarke Store in Ballygar in 1993 owned by Mary Wall and no doubt James Clarke is probably related. I do have a large book written by father Ed Jenkins, my father's first cousin (his mother was my great aunt Mary Jane Clarke) which may have some info on your great Uncle. Are we related?
You can contact me at gwcusa(a)gmail.com. Are you American or Irish. I am not familiar with the murders of which you speak. Sorry I could not add more.
George W. Clarke (1950- )son of Philip Clarke of Scranton, PA and Martha Cary Clarke of Cortland New York

Robert Clarke was born in Canada West. He listed his ethnic background as German/Dutch. Also he and his wife sponsored the first born son of Charles Edward Clarke whose family moved to New York State in the mid 1800s. Robert and Charles were close in age and I've often wondered if they were related.
Although his wife Mary Ann Duffy's family emigrated from Ireland, I've never found any mention of the county.

Hello,
I know it has been awhile but I have some new information that may be of some help to both of us.
I found that my great grandmother Anna Maria Gaved-Horrell had a brother named John Horrell.
John Horrell married Mary Anne Riddle and they moved to New South Wales. I have just found a tie between their first child Anna Maria Horell and she says there was a William Gaved Horrell that she feels may be another brother.
Since there is an Australian tie, maybe we can find more.

Hi Shelley
I wish I could reply with lots of information I have managed to collect, but sadly I know so little about him, it's very frustrating!
I believe Michael came to England from Ireland between 1861 and 1865. I cannot find him on the 1861 UK census, but he marries in Wales in 1865, to Elizabeth Hughes. It took me ages to find Elizabeth as she gave her father's name as Thomas Hughes, but her mother was never married to him so Elizabeth was on the census as Elizabeth Cheney.
The family moved to Lancashire, but I have never been able to find any of Michael's siblings if he had any at all. All I have is his father's name from the wedding certificate.
Not a lot to go on at all, he only gives Galway as his place of birth, I don't know whether that is County Galway, or the city itself.
What a pity so few Irish records survived that fire, we may never know any more than we do know!
best wishes
Lynn

Hi Lynn,
I would love any information you could send me. Perhaps there is a connection. I know Clarke is a common name, but I'm not sure how large of a town/city Galway is, so perhaps there is a chance they are related, even brother and sister based on the birth years. Do you have any information on any of Michael's siblings?

Does anyone here have Adam Clarke (b. circa 1760, Ireland) in their family tree? He was a distinguished theologian, scholar, linguist and Wesleyan Methodist preacher, born in Londonderry "of humble parents" about 1760, settled in London in 1795, so often referred to as "English" although he was Irish by birth.
An ancestor of mine was said to have been "distantly connected" to Adam Clarke, and I would love to find out if this is so, and in what way.
Love to hear from anyone who knows anything about his relatives, ancestors, or descendants.

Hello Rachel,
Nice to hear from you, it is so strange you are looking for a Thomas Clarke, whose father was William. I was a Clarke my father was an Arthur Wiliam,and his father was an Arthur Beaumont but my gg grandfather Thomas was born in 1851 not 1840 According to census's 1881/91/2001/2011 my Thomas was born in the area of Harrow/Pinner in Middlesex so were his children, they all appeared to be coachman/taxi drivers.
The william listed on Thmas and Harriot clarkes marriage cert; which l have was an agriculter worker (as was many of thousands of country people in those days).
What interests me is the link with the Beaumonts, l have founda few just a few living in the same area as my gg grandfather.
How did you find out Williams wifes name? as l cannot find my Thomas,s birth cert;(Willam was on his marriage cert;), as there was so any Clarkes in that area. According to my fathers info he gave me prior to his death, Thomas his grandfather was a Studman or horse man for some lord and lady in Eaton/Harrow. Thomas also had a son with the middle name of Roland which was also a surname in those days!!.
My email address is yentl(a)xtra.co.nz l live in NZ please contact me soon l am sure we have a link, l have not heard of the clarkes coming from futher north but many families traveled slowly towards London and l hav no idea where William came from.
Regds
