    (continued from previous page)
    The OGrady’s also had a “Kept House” i.e. they had a house set apart for “Kept Girls” whom they required for immoral purposes.
    A sister of the “Bloody Judge’s” married a Lord Nelson and the other sister married a Lord Chelsea (or Cheltenham?) (or some name like that)
    William OGrady from Kilballyowen built Rahin Castle but as he refused to become a pervert he was sent off to America. His sister joined the nuns in Brussels. The Castle at Rahin was later burned down – intentionally it is said.
