From an examination of birth and death certificates in New Register House, Edinburgh, see pages 76-81, I managed to trace the place of origin of my great great grandfather, i.e. Charles Kelly to Newtownards, County Down, Ireland. In the process of conducting my research, I collected information from a number of sources concerning individuals named Kelly who were living in County Down, particularly the Newtownards area. The initial intention of this history was therefore to describe my research strategy and the location and use of source material in Ireland and Scotland. During my research however, I became interested in the origin of the Kelly's of County Down and of the wider social, political and economic conditions that may have affected the Kellys, particularly during the plantation period of the early 17th century. I have divided this history into two parts. This should assist the reader in an understanding of the material and should also allow the reader to concentrate on those areas of particular interest. Part 1, composed of five sections, consists of general information regarding the Kelly's of County Down, particularly north Down. Part 2, composed of two sections is concerned with my research into the family origins of Charles Kelly of Newtownards; finally there are the appendices. In the course of my research into the origin of the Kelly's of Down, I made use of several excellent publications. I wish to acknowledge the support of the following authors and publishers in giving permission for my use of extracts from their work. Dr Raymond Gillespie (Colonial Ulster) , Dr Trevor McCavery (Newtownards), Dr Philip Robinson (The Ulster Plantation), Cork University Press (Colonial Ulster) , The Ulster Historical Foundation (The Ulster Plantation & Scottish Migration to Ulster) and BT Batsford Ltd (Ulster, An Illustrated History). Finally I wish to thank the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland for permission to include material from PRONI sources. I wish to dedicate this history to my ancestor Charles Kelly of Newtownards on the 100tn anniversary of his death, i.e. 1899-1999. Like countless thousands of other Irishmen and women, Charles left his native land in the hope of a better life; he found this in Scotland. In the year when peace is hopefully secured in Ulster, it is only fitting that this work is also dedicated to all the Kelly's of County Down, Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter. Whatever their faith, political allegiance or cultural tradition, the Kelly's of Down share a rich history and a beautiful country. As we say here in Scotland, "Wha's like usr damn few, and their aw deid!" CONTENTS Part 1: The Kelly's of County Down Section 1: General background historical and genealogical information regarding the Irish Sept. or family of Kelly or 0'Kelly and the geographical location and origin of the Kellys of County Down in particular; pages 4-19. Section 2: A discussion of pre-plantation County Down, i.e. the social, political and economic conditions under which the Kellys may have lived before the early 17th century; pages 20-42. Section 3: A discussion of Scots Kelly's, their places of origin and possible migration to Ulster; pages 43-54. Section 4: A description of the early 17th century settlement of County Down and of relations between the incoming Scots and the native Irish; pages 55-68. y Section 5: Some comments regarding Manx, Cornish and Devon Kelly's and also the movement of Kellys to America; pages 69-75. Part 2: The Kelly Family of Newtownards. Section 1: A description of my Scottish Research, i.e. both methods and sources I used and the results I obtained; pages 76-61.

(Page 17) h) Conclusion (Page 19) a) Origin of the Kellys: The surname Kelly or 0'Kelly is the second most common in Ireland. Contrary to popular belief, all those bearing the name are not descended from the same ancestor. The name in fact originated in at least ten different locations throughout the island. Although the accepted spelling of the name is Kelly or sometimes Kellie, these are anglicisations of the Irish surname 0'Ceallaigh, meaning son of war or contention. The traditional locations of the different septs were as follows: l-The 0'Kellys of Ui Maine, in Connaught, covering the Eastern part of County Galway, South Roscommon and parts of County Clare and a small part of County Offaly. 2-0'Kellys of Breagh, lords of an extensive district embracing a large portion of Co. Meath and North Co. Dublin. 3-0'Kellys of Leighe, now Lea, in Co. Laois. 4-0'Kellys of Magh Druchtain, Co. Laois. 5-0'Kellys of Gallen, Co. Laois. 6-0'Kellys of Ui Teigh, in the north of Co. Wicklow. 7-0'Kellys of Ard 0 gCeallaigh, in the parish of Templeboy, Co. Sligo. 8-0'Kellys of Corca Laoighdhe, in the southwest of Co. Cork. 9-0'Kellys of Ulster, i.e. Counties Derry and Antrim, originating in the Barony of Loughinsholin, Co. Derry. io-O'Kellys of South Clandeboy, North Co. Down. As I believe my Kelly family is descended from the Kellys or 0'Kellys of North County Down, it is this particular Sept, which my research is concerned with. It is always interesting to attempt to discover the earliest references to the origins of one's family. In the case of the Kelly's of Down, as in most other genealogical research, the early origins of the family, i.e. pre 16th century are difficult to ascertain. There are various manuscripts and other documentary sources, which relate the events of early Irish history. These include the Annals of the Four Masters and the earlier Annals of Ulster. Whilst they do not mention the Kelly's of Down by name, these manuscripts do relate events involving the earlier social grouping the Kellys may have descended from. The Annals of Ulster were compiled in the monastery of lona around the year 563 AD. The Annals and similar manuscripts should not be regarded as historically accurate, as they were probably written as a form of propaganda to justify the dominance of particular groups at a later date. They do however allow a picture of sixth and seventh century Irish politics to be created. b) Dlidia: One theory regarding the origin of the Kelly's of North County Down was postulated by an Irish genealogist named Duald MacFirbis. Duald MacFirbis stated that the name Kelly was of Dal-Fiatach origin, being descended from "Ceallagh'', one of the 12 sons of Bee Boirche, king of Ulidia who died in AD 716. The Annals of Ulster relate how the three Collas i.e. Princes, undertook a campaign of aggressive warfare against the Ulaid in the 4th century. The "Three Collas", namely Eogan, Conall and Enda were all sons of Niall of the Nine Hostages who styled himself King of : Ireland. •;..'- \ - .-: .•;• '- " '," .-• The Collas marched into Ulster and with the assistance of the Firbolgs of Connaught, defeated the Ulidians at the battle of Achaderg, AD 332 in the barony of? Iveagh. The Annals of Ulster tell how the Ulidians, formerly controlling a large area of Northern Ireland were forced from Donegal and north Meath after the battle at Achaderg. The area they now controlled was much reduced and lay to the east of Glenrighe, i.e. the glen of the Newry river, Lough Neagh and the Bann, a territory encompassing the modern County of Down and part of Antrim. Two of Nialls sons, i.e. Eogan and Conall were to establish kingdoms in north and west Ulster, named Tir Eogain and Tir Conaill respectively, their descendants being referred to as the northern Ui Neill. There was to be no love lost between the Ulidians and the Ui Neill in the coming centuries. c) The Dal Fiatach: One of the main groups in the reduced Ulaid was the Dal Fiatach, Dal is the Irish for descendant of. The following description of the Dal Fiatach and their relations with neighbouring Irish tribes and "incomers" is taken from, Ulster "An illustrated History" by Brady, O'Dowd and Walker, this is a well written and informative series of essays examining particular aspects of Ulster's history.

The monument is located on the northwestern edge of Downpatrick. In 2012 an episodic programme of archaeological fieldwork, consisting of topographic and geophysical survey followed by a limited season of excavation, was undertaken at the monument with the aim of refining and expanding the known archaeological sequence of the site with a view to improving both its public presentation and informing any future management strategy developed for the site. The archaeological investigations formed part of a wider programme of works commissioned by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency that were intended to make the monument more presentable and attractive to both the local public and visitors from further afield.

Following on from their club members attending a Volunteer Development Day the club has benefitted from various initiatives both on and off the pitch. The intended outcomes from their involvement in a cross- community volunteer development programme were: • To increase knowledge around recruitment, retention and reward of club volunteers • To create close links with other local sports clubs from Gaelic and Football backgrounds • To get the opportunity to learn how other sports manage volunteers • To avail of any future opportunities for club members and volunteers to be involved with the programme The steps Ballynahinch have taken for this to be a success and the positive impacts are highlighted across the next few slides. Club Model: Case Study of Good Practice What was delivered? In Year 1 (2018) of the Programme Ballynahinch attended the Volunteer Development Day in Banbridge and in Year 3 (2020) they attended an Online Volunteer Development Presentation with clubs from GAA and Football. They had planned to send a number of volunteers and committee members to a Volunteer Development event which had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. As a result of their attendance at our VDP events Ballynahinch have also been involved in other aspects of the programme. Their young members have been involved in our Game of 3 Halves events, valued volunteer club members have been on Stadium tours of Kingspan Stadium, The National Football Stadium at Windsor Park and Croke Park, young volunteers have been accredited through our GoldMark scheme and the club were awarded a sports equipment pack due to their prolonged, sustained involvement within the Sports Uniting Communities Prog ramme.

At that time County Down lay beneath a deep ocean, on the edge of an ancient continent made up of Scotland, north America and the north of Ireland. A huge ocean separated this continent from the rest of Ireland, England, Wales and Europe. Over millions of years, this ocean closed and the two ancient continents collided, heating and deforming the rocks to form slates. The same rock types occur from Longford, through County Down and into the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Around 350 million years ago, in the early Carboniferous, sea level slowly rose to flood across the landscape.

  • The Early Stewart Kings, the Lordship of the Isles, and Ireland, C.1371-C.14331
    The Early Stewart Kings, the Lordship of the Isles, and Ireland, c.1371-c.14331 Simon Egan 31 THE IRISH ANNALS record that in the summer of 1433, a large MacDonald war fleet descended upon the eastern coast of Ulster.2 Though the precise location is uncertain, it appears that this force landed somewhere in the modern-day barony of Dufferin; then a lordship situated on the east coast of County Down and controlled by the Anglo-Irish White family. Upon arrival the commander of the Scottish fleet, whom numerous annals refer to simply as ‘MacDomhnaill na h-Alban’(i.e., MacDonald of Scotland), was received by Eoghan O’Neill, the lord of Tyrone. These leaders appear to have entered into some form of council with one another before agreeing to combine their armed forces and embark upon what eventually amounted to an impressive military campaign against Eoghan’s main rival, Niall Garbh O’Donnell (d.1439), the lord of Tyrconnell. Moreover, the success of this joint military venture had a major impact not only upon the politics of Ulster, where it saw Eoghan established as the dominant magnate, it had serious ramifications for the balance of power within Scotland and the fortunes of the MacDonalds. The significance of the MacDonald intervention in Ulster has received very little attention within the historiography of late medieval Ireland and Scotland.3 Broadly speaking historians have tended to view medieval Gaelic Ireland and Gaelic Scotland as separate cultural and political spheres, rather than exploring how both regions were highly interconnected through ties of dynastic politics and common political and military interest.4 Instead scholars 1 I would like to thank the anonymous peer reviewer for their constructive comments which improved this essay significantly.

  • 1951 Census Down County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch, 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7* 6d NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Government of Northern Irel&nd was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid-night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.
