OTHER EUSTACE FAMILIES AND THEIR LOCATIONS TO PRESENT

The 1901 Clare Census shows the migration pattern of the Eustace families who originated in Kilmihil and Kilrush.  The familial connections are less clear.  In the Census, the following Eustace families are found in these Townlands:

In Mullagh, Cloghaunatinny, Parish of Kilmurry Ibrickan, Bridget Eustace age 40 is living with her children Michael 20, Maurice 18, Patrick 15, and Bridget 8.  This family might be related to the Breaffa, Parish of Kilmurry Eustace family mentioned in Kilmihil Generation I. 

In the Index to Biographical Notices 1935-1985, there is a news item listed for Maurice Eustace on September 9, 1939 in Clohanatine, Mullagh.

In Rinealon, Shannakea More, Parish of Kilfiddane, is John Eustace 60 and single.  John’s nephew, Patrick age 34 and single and John’s niece, Bridget Ronan, live with him. Mary Eustace age 85, widowed with dementia is living with the Ronan family in the Townland of Effernan, Parish of Kilfiddane. In Killofin Parish in the Townland of Lakyle North, there were two small Eustace children, John and Agnes age 4 and 3 respectively.  They are living with the Malone family. There may be a connection between these two families.  According to the 1920 Ellis Island record, Mary Catherine Eustace age 25 leaves Shannakea More to visit her aunt, Agnes Eustace Webb in Anacostia, Washington, DC USA.  It is likely that this Agnes is the same Agnes in the 1901 Census.

The Index for Biographical Notices 1935-1986 lists the following marriages in Erribul, Shannakea: James Eustace married May 18, 1984; John Eustace married June 8, 1973; John Eustace married July 20, 1973. In Cahircon, Kildysart the following obituaries:  Michael who died in December of 1985; Micko who died January 17, 1986; and Patrick who died June 30, 1951.  From Ravrageen, Kildysart and New York, John Eustaces death is noted on January 25, 1985 in the index.

The same source lists the obituary for Patrick Eustace from Ennis who died November 9, 1984; and the marriage of Mary Eustace in Carnisky January 23, 1987.
