Mainly Ulster families – “B” series – Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Ulster ‘SERIES B’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

In the vast and problematic historiography of the 1798 Rebellion, County Wicklow has been relatively neglected. In the aftermath of the rising it was Wexford which caught the imagination of historians from a diverse range of political opinions, who sought to graft their interpretations to the events in the cockpit of the insurrection.

MICHAEL DWYER Papers, 1838-1905 Reel M603
AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT MICHAEL DWYER Papers, 1838-1905 Reel M603 National Library of Ireland Kildare Street Dublin 2 Ireland National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1966 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Michael Dwyer (1772?-1825) was born at Camera, County Wicklow, and worked as an ostler and farm hand. In 1897 he joined the Society of United Irishmen and when rebellion broke out in Wicklow in 1898 he was one of the militants. In 1803 he supported the attempted coup d’etat of Robert Emmet. With his whole family facing transportation, Dwyer surrendered in December 1803, was gaoled, and in 1805 was transported to New South Wales as an unsentenced exile. He arrived in the colony in February 1806 and was granted 100 acres facing Cabramatta Creek. In 1807 he was arrested and tried for sedition and sent to Norfolk Island and later Van Diemen’s Land. He returned to New South Wales in 1809 and subsequently became constable of the Georges River district. In 1820 he was briefly chief constable of Liverpool. In 1898 Dwyer’s body was exhumed and, in the presence of tens of thousands of Irish-Australians, he was buried in Waverley Cemetery in Sydney. Luke Cullen (1793-1859) was a seaman before joining the Third Order of Discalced Carmelites in 1838. He was a free school teacher at the monastery of Mount St Joseph at Clondalkin, near Dublin. Brother Cullen spent much of his later years travelling round the Wexford-Wicklow border area collecting the memoirs of survivors of the 1798 Rebellion.

GLASNEVIN CEMETERY BEING a RECORD of IRELAND's Hcflqms DEAD in DUBLIN CITY and COUNTY ALSO V LACES of HISTORIC INTEREST
THE GLASNEVIN CEMETERY BEING A RECORD OF IRELAND'S HcflQMS DEAD IN DUBLIN CITY AND COUNTY ALSO V LACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST PRICE b|? NATIONAL GRAVES ASSOCIATION, 41 PARNELL SQUARE. FOREWORD The National Graves Association deserves praise and congratulations for its effort in making available this permanent record of Patriot Graves in and around Dub lin, and of the places where many met their deaths in the struggle for national liberty. It is to be hoped that this initial effort is the first instalment of what will be a permanent All-Ireland record. The work deserves the fullest support of all who wish the sacrifices made to be properly recorded, ‘ and it is certain to receive due recognition, not only in Ireland, but amongst our people abroad. I would appeal especially to Eepublicans to give this project their active support. While we profess a reverence for the names and memories of our heroes and martyrs, we sometimes fall short in giving positive evidence of this feeling, as is shown by neglect of many of their resting-places, or of the spots where they met their deaths at the hands of the enemy. Many of the graves of our National Dead are unmarked; some are only vaguely known, while others are entirely unknown. The graves of the soldiers of the Eepublic of Ireland, who gave their lives in recent times, are sometimes untended. Such neglect is contrary to the general belief which credits us with great reverence for our dead. This is a lapse from duty which the National Graves Association is seeking to have remedied.

William Maume: United Irishman and Informer in Two Hemispheres
William Maume: United Irishman and Informer in Two Hemispheres MICHAEL DUREY I adical and revolutionary movements in Ireland in the eighteenth and Rnineteenth centuries are reputed to have been riddled with spies and informers. Their persistent influence helped to distract attention from other causes of failure. Weaknesses within movements, such as internecine strife among leaders, poorly-conceiv~d strategies and exaggerated estimates of popular support, could be hidden behind an interpretation of events which placed responsibility for failure on a contingency that was normally beyond rebel control. In some respects, therefore, it was in the interests of Irish leaders, and sympathetic later commentators, to exaggerate the influence of spies and informers. 1 Such conclusions are possible, however, only because commentators, both contemporary and modern, have failed to make a distinction between spies, being persons 'engaged in covert information-gathering activities', and informers, who are persons who happen to possess relevant information that they are persuaded to divulge. 2 Admittedly, this distinction is not always clear-cut, for some who begin as informers subsequently agree to become spies. Moreover, from the point of view of the authorities, all information, however acquired, tends to be grist to their intelligence mill. Nevertheless, keeping this distinction clear can help to elucidate some of the problems facing revolutionary societies as they sought to keep their activities secret. It is unlikely, for example, that the United Irishmen in the 1790s were at greater risk from spies, as opposed to informers, than either the Jacobins or the Royalists in France in the same period. At no time could Dublin Town-Major Henry Sirr, or security chief Edward Cooke in Dublin Castle, call on the same security apparatus as was available to the police in Paris under the See, for example, W.J.

Republican SINN FÉIN Poblachtach Theobald Wolfe Tone Commemoration Bodenstown, County Kildare
Republican SINN FÉIN Poblachtach Theobald Wolfe Tone Commemoration Bodenstown, County Kildare 2014 Speaking at the annual Republican Sinn Féin commemoration at the grave of the father of Irish Republicanism, Theobald Wolfe Tone, in Bodenstown, Co Kildare on Sunday, June 22, Ard Chomhairle member Peig King (Dublin and Tyrone) said: “It is an honour to be here today at the grave of Theobald Wolfe Tone, the Father of Irish Republicanism. He and his fellow United Irishmen began the long struggle for a free Irish Republic and so June will always find Republicans gathering together at Bodenstown to honour him. It is also a time to ask ourselves are we doing enough to remove the English presence from our shores. “This year is the centenary of Cumann na mBan and it is fitting that we remember the part that Irish women played since the 1790s in the fight for Irish freedom and also for equality. “During the 1798 Rebellion many women throughout Ireland played a prominent role in the United Irishmen. Among them were Anne Forde, of Garrysackle, Co Wexford; Peg Kavanagh was one of many women who conveyed dispatches to Michael O’Dwyer and Joseph Hall in their hiding place in the Wicklow mountains. Also Susan O’Toole, of Annamore and Mary Doyle of New Ross. Republican SINN FÉIN Poblachtach Theobald Wolfe Tone Commemoration Bodenstown, County Kildare “Equally brave were Betsy Gray of Granshaw, Co Down, who on June 13 followed her brother George and Willie Boal to the fatal field of Ballinahinch, where she fought bravely at their side during the entire conflict and died with them in the battle.

These included a fast growing population, agrarian unrest and outside influences such as the French and American Revolutions. Many anti- Catholic laws had been removed by legislation but political power rested firmly in the hands of the Protestants who still controlled the army, finance and education. The legacy of the penal laws remained and there was considerable unrest at a local level in Ireland. However, it was not until the last decade of the century that a movement to effectively channel popular feeling into a united cause emerged.
