Ard, sorry about Derryadd and Derrytransa, imagine moving them north rather than south! A few other gremlins crept in as Fionn has said: the worst being spelling Thomas Davis as "Davies". How it happened we don't know, but we were all horrified when we saw it in print; too late too late...

There's also a factual error, on page 99 in "Roddy McCorley". I'm sure only one person would have noticed, and she would be someone to whom I sent a copy! She is Helen Meehan, who has done much research on "Ethna Carbery". The error is that the name of Seumas MacManus's second wife, after the death of Carbery, was Catalina Veronica Paez, NOT Margaret McCollin, as stated in the book. This is my error, and mine only. I had the correct info but copied it wrongly. The "Derry Journal" of 13 July 1911 reported,

"An interesting and pretty Irish-American wedding took place recently at the Holy Name Church, New York, when Mr. Seumas MacManus, the well known Irish litterateur and lecturer, was joined in matrimony with Miss Catalina Veronica Paez, daughter of General Ramon Paez, and grandaughter of President Jose Paez of Venezula...". The couple were to have two children.

Even Helen couldn't trace a cause of death for Carbery. However, I haven't given up on that one yet!

There's a special prize for anyone who can find the Bob Dylan quote!I'm confident that nobody will, not even Little Hawk, probably not even Dylan himself.
