Narrative

According to "Roman Catholic Clergy in St. Munchin's Parish" (in Winter 2014 Vol 48 of "The Old Limerick Journal") Patrick Conway, a cousin of Rev. John Conway of Carnane and brother of another Rev. John Conway, was P.P. of Glenroe for five years until his death in 1931. That appears to be an error.

According to the death notice of Rev. John Conway (Patrick's brother), John Conway was P.P. of Glenroe when he died in 1931. This evidence is supported by the Limerick Diocesan Heritage Project which compiles it's data on priests from the Catholic Directories.

        The death took place at St. John's Hospital on Sunday evening of the Rev. John Conway, P.P., Glenroe, after an illness of about three months.
        He was a native of Boherlode, Donoughmore, was educated at St. Munchin's College, Limerick, and ordained in Maynooth in 1896. He was 57 years of age. He spent two years in the Dunboyne establishment. He was a curate in Glin and also in Bruff, and was appointed parish priest of Glenroe five years ago on the death of Rev. Father Ambrose. A brilliant scholar, the late Father Conway was beloved of his flock, and his death will be sincerely regretted.
