Talk:Ballymaloe House

Sir Edmund Fitz John Fitz-Gerald of Cloyne and Ballymaloe
The following contribution was removed without discussion which for me demonstrated a significant lack of awareness as to just how important Sir Edmund was to Ballymaloe House so I'm re-adding here on this Talk page so that information maybe collected, collated chronologically for inclusion over time, Honora Fitzmaurice, second daughter of James FitzMaurice FitzGerald of Desmond, married [2ndly] Sir Edmund Fitz John Fitz-Gerald of Cloyne and Ballymaloe.

 * Further to the above,
 * James Fitzedmund Fitzgerald, "(died 1589, Dublin Castle) was the hereditary Seneschal of Imokilly, an Irish nobleman of the Welsh-Norman FitzGerald dynasty in the province of Munster, who rebelled against the crown during the reign of Queen Elizabeth of England.


 * Fitzgerald was the son of Edmund Fitzmaurice Riskald and Shylie, daughter of Maolrony O'Carroll," "married Honora Fitzmaurice, who bore him male twins in about 1589, and two daughters. His heir was granted in wardship, at the age of one and a half years, to one Captain Moyle."Matthew (talk) 22:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * "1611-1617 : Then a strange marriage takes place: Sir John’s second son Edmund married Lady Honoria Fitzgerald, the widowed daughter of James FitzMaurice, leader of the Geraldine war. Her first husband was cousin and name sake of Sir John. This marriage was typical of Norman behaviour, strong ties of kinship and clan intermarriage. Records indicate that old Sir John was very found of Honoria. She was a charming and genteel woman and hid persecuted monks fleeing from Youghal and protected holy relics, of which a little ivory carving -10cm in height of “our Lady of Grace” she even had a special silver case made for the statue with an inscription that read “pray for the soul of Honoria” . Currently displayed in the Dominican Priory, Cork, St Mary’s Pope, Quay."Ballymaloe House – History MAY 23, 2012 BY ANNEMARIE FOLEY Matthew (talk) 22:53, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Fitzgerald of Cloyne

 * "Maurice, younger brother of John FitzThomas of the Decies, above, was the father of Sir Richard FitzGerald of Imokilly in County Cork. His son Richard was Seneschal of Imokilly; his son Maurice had two sons, Richard and Edmund. Richard FitzGerald was the father of William, father of James FitzGerald called 'the Deacon.' James was the father of Edmund Fitzgerald [of Ballymaloe House], father of (1) our ancestor Ellen, married Dermod O'Brien, 5th Lord of Inchiquin, (2) Honora, married Patrick FitzMaurice, 19th Baron of Kerry, and (3) James FitzGerald of Cloyne, who was a royalist during the Civil Wars and willed his large estates to Charles I. After the Restoration in 1660, Charles II restored the estates to James' son Edmund Fitzgerald of Ballymallow in Cork."

 * "Many of the Old English lost their property. In the barony of Imokilly ... The Old English Earl of Barrymore survived the upheavals of the 1650s, as did some of the Fitzgeralds of Imokilly. Although the Ballymaloe (in Cloyne) Geraldines appear to have taken no part in the rebellion, which began in 1641, they, like the remainder of the Catholic gentry, were dispossessed in the early but of all their lands. Ballinacurra (near Midleton) and the surrounding townlands were given to Col Richard Fitzgerald of the Castlemartyr family.23 ... In Imokilly a third of those losing land were Old English families, this including twenty-two Fitzgeralds."

 * "And now another woman of mystery enters the history of Glin in the form of Anne ('Nancy') Cuffe, who becomes for a short time, wife to Edmond, Knight of Glin. Anne (born February 1721)(110) was the second of seven daughters of Maurice Cuffe of St. Albans, otherwise Killaghy, Co. Kilkenny by his first wife Martha, daughter of John Fitzgerald of Ballymaloe, Co. Cork. (111) Maurice was a brother of the 1st Lord Desart and a M.P. and K.C. Anne who has been described as 'a popular Protestant beauty from Kilkenny' married the still Catholic Knight of Glin in March 1740. (112) In a letter written sometime after the marriage, by her cousin Lady Theodosia Crosbie to her sister, Lady Mary Tighe (nee Bligh) we read: 'if Nancy (Anne) is married to the Knight of the Glin as they say, she (Anne's mother) has disposed of 'em (Anne and her sisters) all very well.' (113) For some reasons unknown (Edmonds' mounting debts, perhaps) this marriage was a failure. They went their separate ways thereafter. Edmond vainly tried to regain possession of Glin after Richard's conversion when he too, turned Protestant in October 1741. (114) In a deed of September 1750, Edmond is referred to as unmarried. (115) His former wife Anne married on the 15th of February 1766 her second cousin, as his second wife, Denny Baker Cuffe of Cuffesborough, Kings' Co. (mod. Offaly) who died 10 years later (116) Anne died shortly there after on the 24th October 1776(117)" http://www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/history-heritage/big-houses-of-ireland/glin-castle-co.-limerick/the-four-brothers/edmond-fitzgerald-20th-kn/ Matthew (talk) 20:42, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Reply
It is not that I don't want it into the article. I removed it as being to vague to be useful in een article about a restaurant. Your source does not gove a date of marriage, so it was hanging in thin air.

As I suggested on my talkpage, it might be usefull to add a section "The Fitz-Gerald of Cloyne and Ballymaloe House" to cover the pre-Allen-family history. The Banner talk 16:01, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hence me doing my best to collect & collate chronologically historical, referenced information I've found over time eg

It was described by Lewis in 1837 as a "very curious old house, built by the Fitzgeralds and forfeited in the war of 1641, it is now the property of Mr Forster" . By the early 1850s John Litchfield [Lichfield] was resident holding the house valued at £48 from Mountifort Longfield. It was the seat of William Lichfield in 1894. It is now the home of the Allen family who run it as a guest house with adjacent shop. Their renowned cookery school is nearby. see http://www.ballymaloe.ie/

Seneschals of Imokilly
Given Sir John Fitzedmund Fitzgerald also apparently became Seneschal of Imokilly as a result of his namesake cousin's death, I'm wondering if we could also work up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mifren/Seneschal_of_Imokilly into meeting wikipedia standards?

I disagree. This is a food that foodies go looking for. It may seem like trivia to you, but to me it's important information. valereee (talk) 17:02, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

child pornography
This doesn't seem relevant to the subject. I despise child pornographers as much as the next person, but shouldn't this go into an article about Tim Allen or the cookery school or Darina Allen? valereee (talk) 16:33, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I have removed it as it is just an attempt of shaming with no relevance for the restaurant or manor. The Banner talk 17:11, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
