Petty Sessions, No Image (Ancestry)

Rmulvany

While I have been pretty lucky with locating relatives in the Petty Sessions available through my Ancestry subscription, I have come across a couple which are lacking an image to view any details but I can tell by the description that they are concerning my relations.

As you can see in the attached image, this is a record from the Tomgraney/Tuamgraney Court on 04 March 1876 for John O'Brien from Ahanish/Aughinish.

If someone can help me figure out a way to view these sort of records I would be greatly appreciative!
I don't have any subscriptions for FamilySearch or FindMyPast

First off, it's worth noting that Family Search does not require any form of subscription.

And in relation to your query I note that when I try to browse the records for Tomgraney there are none available to view so presumably this is a fault on the part of Ancestry which they need to address.

Thanks Hermy
I might contact Ancestry and see if they could shed some light, there's little use to publishing these records without at least a transcript

It's common for Ancestry to publish records without details. In this case the details are available in findmypast: (1) complainant Dominick Hogan, Drewsborough; witnesses Dominick Hogan, James(?) Forbes(?), James(?) Bowes(?); cause of complaint Having with others assaulted Compton the 1 May 1876 at Scariff Co. Clare; outcome unreadable. (2) complainant John Lynch con.; witnesses unreadable Bond(?), Patrick Reeves(?); cause of complaint Being engaged in an affray & committing a breach of the peace at Scariff Co. Clare 1 May 1876; outcome Fined 2 pounds & costs 3/6, paid. Findmypast also dates these 4 Mar. 1876; perhaps it is the beginning of the file.

The unreadable outcome looks like 'Dismissed __________' with the old 'f' type double s. Dreadful writing. Might be worth going back to see if earlier similar entries were more legible.

Images for Lisdoonvarna and Mountshannon are also missing but all others for County Clare appear to be intact.

It's probably something that can be rectified if brought to their attention.

Thank you for transcribing, so there is no mention of a John O'Brien of Ahanish?

I was giving you the extra bits, of course they were for John O'Brien of Ahanish.
