Place & story
Toomona and its occupants
Toomona, just outside Tulsk in Ogulla parish, was the residence of Peter O’Connor in 1814 and 1837. At Griffith’s Valuation, Maria French occupied it as a tenant of Lord Crofton. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database records later occupants including Colonel Lynham and Matt Flanagan, followed by the Murphy and Fallon families. The house was accidentally burned in the 1970s. [2]
Successive houses at Cargins
Cargins Park, in Cargin Demesne in the same parish, was occupied by John D’Arcy when its estate was sold in 1852. The property later passed to Captain Drought. Landed Estates distinguishes the present house from Daniel Kelly’s Victorian three-bay building and records renovation in the early twenty-first century. [3]
