Oldcourt Castle
Thank you for pointing error to me, I have now fixed it. The reference should have been Irish Miscellany; Oldcourt, Irish Miscellany; Volume 2 Number 45, Saturday December 18th 1858, Boston, I am sorry for the error. This reference was only a paragraph in length. Also Old Court has important sculpted cross base in the grounds of the castle. I can send you information on the cross base and the castle. Thank you your enquiry it is good to get feedback like this. Kid regards Colin

Oldcourt Castle
Hi, I would like to learn more. I have looked at the Irish Miscellany issue of 13 Feb 1858, but could not find Oldcourt mentioned. Could you give more details about the page/article? Also in the bibliography should it say Carrickmines Castle instead of Castlemines Castle?

PIERCE TALBOT AND FAMILY OF RATHDOWN
This information fits in with my research on the Kennedys of Mt Kennedy. Peirce T (d. 1622)’s 2nd wife was Alice Sankey, daug of Ralph. She had a sister, Margaret, who married Jonas Sulliard. They had 7 children. Their eldest daughter, Constance, married Robt Kennedy (1st baronet of Mt K.). Their son Thomas married Peirce/Alice’s daug Katherine (1st cousins). On Peirce’s death, Robt, who had been one of his foefees, took his estate and children into his custody, and apparently assest striped the estate. Bernard then took a case against Kennedy in May 1638, outcome unknown.

THE HISTORY OF GREYSTONES
Hi Pauline,
Thank you for your enquiry. The bathing place was previously known as ‘Lady’s Cove’ and has been used as a venue for open-air cinema. It’s difficult to pin-point exactly when the names ‘Lady’s Cove’ and ‘The Cove’ first came to be used.
