John is a "Labourer" because he is not a tenant of 'House & Land'.

• Notes

  The family name was spelt Maginniss, Maginnis, Magennis or McGuinness. McGinnis is currently the more common spelling. "Mary 'Bartley' being the last remaining offspring of Anthony & Mary remained in the home place and married John Hannaway from the face of the mountain" (Eugene McCann's records). "Griffiths Valuations Revisions: Plot 19B (Hannaways) that went to Mary “Bartley” in 1881, & John Hannaway he got the place in 1889. Went to Patrick Hannaway in 1921, he still had it in 1935 & 1936-57; then it went to George Hannaway in 1965. This property along with John Quinn’s (plot 19A) total of 11.5 acres" (audio recording of Eugene McCann in 2016). 1867 GRONI Marriage Record spells residence as Levalamore-as used today. Previously spelt "Levallymore". The 1901 census: Mary "can read only" not write. Age is 59-born 1842. The 1911 Census states "can read only"; married for 43 years; "7 children born, 6 still living". The deceased child was Peter Hannaway b1872; d 1892. Where surnames were common locally a family nickname was used. Mary was known as "Mary Bartley" after her father Bartholomew ("Bartley") McGinnis - tenant of Levellymore household 19b in 1864 Griffiths Land Valuation. From the extensive list of mourners in the 1937 obituary Mary appears to have been a hugely respected person. Mourners mentioned were from England, Scotland and USA. Key family members would have been sent a telegram with the news. Since they were unlikely to attend the funeral in time, family members would send a telegram with condolences. (The newspaper cutting of Mary's 1937 obituary is courtesy of Eugene McCann, Ballykeel - townland close to Levelamore). Mary was buried in Lislea with "young John" - as was her wish. Not her son John (born1879) who had emigrated to USA, but her grandson John born in 1907 and had lived in her house. He had recently returned from living in New York. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in Aug 1937, Mary died three months later. [10, 11]
