Donovan of Ballymore, Wexford.

The Donovans of Ballymore have been in occupation of their property since the year 1694. Mortagh Donovan inherited the house and lands from his uncle Thomas Kieran, a wealthy Dublin brewer and an Alderman of the city.

In 1994 the late owner Richard Donovan and his wife Margaret created a most interesting museum of family items from past generations.

Richard died in 2007 and this obituary is a moving tribute that speaks volumes of the man.
