I once again returned to the internet for information. My research
moved away from the actual house to what was there before the houses
were built. I searched old church of Ireland records, the census of
1908 and anything else I could get my hand and eyes on.
I
discovered that the land that the house was built on may have belonged
to Ponsonby Moore. He was a wealthy land owner of a very prestigious
family. Around the famine time he had a daughter named Catherine who
married an Alfred. I could not find out much else. I was unable to
discover maps to see exactly where Moore House was located.
There
are some very old houses in the Newbridge area. We took a drive and
walk around the area. We discovered several houses that would be over a
hundred years old and some nearer two hundred. The names on these
houses did not match the Moore House that we sought, but names can
change.
My husband mentioned the EMF reader, my ongoing
research and our experiences to a few colleagues. One lady was a
native of Newbridge and it turned out that her uncle had done quite a
bit of historical research in the area. She put us in touch with a
contact in the local library.
I rang to make an appointment as the sounds and smell continued.
