Genealogy: Charles Chenery Justice

Dear sir/madam,
I shall be over in Millstreet on 4th/5th May, tending to my Nans grave.
One of my aunts has sent me a photo of a plaque in Drishane cemetery and would like some more information, it is for a Charles Chenery Justice, who we believe died in early 1879. I’m hoping that I could meet up with someone who could enlighten me.
Many thanks

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to News Reporty 1261 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely April Day.

A note from the Community Council to say that to-night’s (Tuesday) meeting at the Wallis Arms has been deferred.

Millstreet has emerged from one of its busiest weekends ever.

The Millstreet Welcome Tour, equestrian event which brought horses and horsey people from all over the country since April 2nd  was an outstanding success. The Eventing on the planes of Drishane is proving very popular and is drawing the crowds.

A Gala Fundraising Dance with Liam O’Connor was held at the Green Glens Arena on Wednesday April 8th, and Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh was MC. A Great night was had by all.

The crowds also came for our two-day Walking Festival which was held on Saturday and Sunday. This time our organisers had four new Walks added, some more challenging, but walking enthusiasts took it all in their stride, literally.
