Thread Name: Origins: Rose of Tralee - anything to add ...?
Subject: RE: Rose of Tralee; anything to add ...?
"...the song hails from Co. Kerry and was written about 90 years earlier (ca. 1845), and that it was popular in Kerry for a long time."
Not too surprising, give that Tralee is in Kerry, and Mulchinock was a Kerryman. But I'd be a bit doubtful about any obituary for him in 1846, since he died in 1864...
