Just past the Horse and Hound Pub is the section of land he leased until 1851.
Currently situated on that land is the Tir Na Nog Bed and Breakfast.
In Irish mythology, Tír na nÓg or Tír na hÓige is one of the names for the Celtic Otherworld, or perhaps for a part of it.
Tír na nÓg is best known from the tale of Oisín and Niamh.

I have not yet found when his wife Mary KELLY nee Moloughny/Mulloughney died.
Searching for the death of Mary KELLY in Ireland is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
