From
‘THE JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF IRELAND,
FOR THE YEAR 1890.’
“ These two cases are sufficiently strong proof; but if we add Mrs. Branney, who recollects the battle of Ballynahinch, with her son, grandson, and great-grandson; Mrs. Hamilton, and three succeeding generations; Mrs. Mac Donnell, and three generations of offspring; Ned Rogers, who received a pension from Geo. If., Geo. IV., Wm. IV., and all through the reign of Victoria-all of whom are now living and can be interviewed by anyone who is sceptical of their age—I think we may safely conclude that Irish people with sound bodies and abstemious habits
live in many instances 100 years and upwards. With a cessation of emigration and favourable conditions of life, a race presenting such evidences of vitality would soon again number a
population equal to that of fifty years ago.”

Suck Diesel Thank you. From page 239, but I'd recommend a good scroll through the Journal anyway. Great range of topics.
