Interesting Maher Articles and other Tidbits
O Meagher, Meagher and Maher - and their dispersal in Tipperary
This article is a portion of the original article by William J. Hayes and is published in the 1993 Tipperary Historical Journal. This Journal can be ordered from the County Tipperary Historical Society in Ireland where all Mahers came from. I highly recommend you visit there site and consider joining thier society. The Journal is very professional, well made, and well worth the money. The people there are also most friendly.
This article is from the book "Some Historical Notices of the Meaghers of Ikerrin", by Joseph Casimir O'Meagher published in 1890! I was able to obtain this on microfilm from my local library via interlibrary loan.
