Edward Garland

Biography

Edward Garland was born in Lucan, the son of Thomas Garland (Gartland) and Alicia (Alice) Garland -nee, Smullen. Thomas Garland was recorded as a lessee of a house, office and their attendant premises in Clondalkin in Griffiths Land valuation Survey. Edward was recorded by Parish records as having been born in Lucan, County Dublin on August 9th 1826. A record for his marriage to Elizabeth Behan at the Catholic Church in Lucan confirms they were married in the Church on May 4th 1851.

Madge Garland's letter to Stephanie Walker in 1981 stated, 'The Garlands were said, I think by my father [Dr. John Peter Garland] to have come to Ireland from Yorkshire. This I imagine referred to earlier generations than my g'parents [grandparents]. Garlands also said to have lived in Lucan, a large village about 8 miles from Dublin. It is possible that grand-father Garland was born there, though this is just surmise. Edward and Elizabeth were cousins and met for the first time on a coach trip. [They] .. had been unaware of each other's existence. They lived in a small house in North Dublin address unknown [Upper Sherrard Street -confirmed by the Deed Memorial in the Chancery case, Garland v Garland &c.] and moved to the North Circular Road, near to Phoenix Park to a larger residence. They were hospitable people & Sunday luncheons were a feature. They were keen supporters of Parnell and remained faithful to him when he became cold-shouldered by politicians and clergy. [np] During a period of prosperity G'father was negotiating to buy a large house surrounded by some acres, situated in a village called Palmerstone near Lucan .. [she wrote] ..the spelling may be Palmerston. Unfortunately losses on the stock exchange put an end to that project. According to my mother, grand-mother Garland was a kindly and charming old lady. Grand-father, she considered, rather demeaning.' - the letter's extract has been placed amongst the family source material.
