Notes: 

Mr Galloway appears to have been an agent for a Lord Ashdowne in KIlfinnane. His death notice can be found in the newspaers of 1864 without any explanation for his death. Interestingly Mr Galloway was in court two years before that in 1862 having received a letter threatening his life purposrted to be from a Blackboy/Whiteboy group. See attached.
