Not sure how it all fits. The old program is weird; the file is a mess and every other child is a Mary or a John. Nevermind the rabbit hole of sorting Peelites, Whigs, Radicals, Repealers, Liberals &c &c &c.

One name that does keep cropping up is George John O'Connell (1801-1853,) Johnny O'Connell's second child and only son. Seems he was the political one.

There's even less on Guinness – O'Connell. Daniel's son did own the Dublin O'Connell Brewery. So there was the m-o-n-e-y. But then, the Garryowen Fitzgerald's and every other small brewery in Ireland (and the world) had/has that same problem.
