WHO LIVED WHERE in LEIXLIP, 1850-1967 Who Their Landlord Was; the Area, If Any, of Their Land, Its Worth and Other Observations WHO LIVED WHERE IN LEIXLIP, 1850-1967 Who their landlord was; the area, if any, of their land, its worth and other observations Compiled by John Colgan © 2008 johncolgan at iol.ie ‘VALUATION LISTS’ being mainly No 7, County Kildare, County Health District, Kidare, RD Celbridge No 1, ED Leixlip, aka CANCELLATION BOOKS, LEIXLIP AND ENVIRONS Compiled firstly from Griffith’s Valuation , published 1851, and the series of Cancellation Books of the Valuation Office, Dublin. Changes made after 1967 are not recorded in this document. Where the area is shown, it is rounded to the nearest whole number of acres. The valuation figure shown is usually that for the buildings alone; in most cases these comprise a house and ‘offices’ (=sheds, outside toilets, harness rooms etc). Guesstimates have been made in some instances where the exact year is unclear from the manuscript. Some cancellation books overlap a period of time. Occasionally different spellings of names may be used. In most cases where there are several checks on occupancy done in different assessments, only the starting a finishing years are shown. Where a ‘new’ occupier/lessor is shown, the previous occupier/lessor is presumed to have vacated the premises in the previous year. This need not be the case at all, as no data is available during the period between checks. It is possible for an occupier to come and go within such an interval without being detected by the valuation officer calling. The Cancellation Books were recorded by door-to-door callers, enquiring off those who were present when they called. Sometimes the successor shares the same first and second name with the first such; there is no way of separating the two. Other apparent changes appear to arise when women tenants marry and use their new surname in a subsequent year. Other ‘changes’ of tenancy arise when the caller corrects a misspelt surname or adds a missing first name. The lessors may be regarded as guesstimates by the respondents. Indeed, if they were taken at face value, some would have very long lives indeed. However, one could frequently assume that their representatives were the lessors. When houses were demolished, classified as exempt or so ruinous as to be beyond occupation, they were either classified as ‘ruins’ or simply excised from the record. Unfortunately, the officers calling sometimes caused confusion by combining Lots or separating bits, often for a workman’s house and site, from existing Lots; their methodology is inconsistent and occasionally ambiguous, as the same Lot no. may be used at a different time for a new property or, in some cases, different lot numbers are used for the same property by different callers. These records, below, include interpretations of same. Some editing has been done, eg, citing the first and last years only of references rather than all such dates. The term LAP means that ownership in fee simple of the property was acquired from the landlord under one of the Land Acquisition Acts. To use the record it is advisable that (a) all spellings of a name should be tried and (b) having found a reference here, one checks the original manuscript. Maps are available from the Valuation Office, Dublin, showing the boundaries of Lot numbers and property thereon at the time the map was compiled. In Fee - means the tenant has purchased the title to the land from the landlord and has no (further) obligations to the former landlord. RDC - Rural District Council; Leixlip was part of Celbridge No.1 RDC, which was empowered to provide houses for farm labourers. The Valuation figure in £ was the notional annual rent which would be paid to rent the property in or about 1840, if the property was unencumbered. It was the basis of local taxation (‘Rates’) for residences and remains the basis for local taxes on commercial and industrial premises. 2.4 (statute) acres is approximately one hectare (=100m x 100m). This data base was transcribed by John Colgan in Microsoft Word for Office, using Times New Roman script, between February and June, 2003. It has not been edited. The reader is advised to check the original hard-copy of the record at the Archives Section of the Valuation Office, Dublin, after having located it here.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

O DIVINE MASTER, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. b Contents Agenda 1 General Information 2 Chairman’s Report 3 CEO’s Report 5 Directors’ Responsibilities Statement 12 Board Oversight Committee Report 13 Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Croí Laighean Credit Union Limited 14 Audit, Risk & Compliance Committee Report 19 Community Committee Report 21 Nominations Committee Report 24 Income and Expenditure Account 26 Statement of Comprehensive Income 26 Balance Sheet 27 Statement of Changes in Reserves 28 Cash Flow Statement 29 Notes to the Financial Statements 30 Model Standing Orders 45 Motions and Rule Amendments 47 Members Draw Report 49 Annual Report 2017 Croí Laighean Credit Union Limited Agenda Notice is hereby given that the AGM of Croí Laighean Credit Union will take place on Monday, December 18th, 2017 at 7.30pm, in Westgrove Hotel, Clane, Co.

    Glasra 3: 115–143 (1998) ‘A willing Cicerone’: Professor Robert Scott (ca. 1757–1808) of Trinity College, Dublin, Fermanagh’s first botanist E. CHARLES NELSON Tippitiwitchet Cottage, Hall Road, Outwell, Wisbech, PE14 8PE, U.K. INTRODUCTION Having been brought up in the lakeland of County Fermanagh, it is hardly surprising that Robert Scott1 (Figure 1) loved outdoors pursuits, fishing for trout, fowling, and geological or botanical rambles looking for minerals, or mosses, lichens and fungi, those inconspicuous but ubiquitous plants that are so often ignored. He was an ‘ingenious, lively man with great merit, and a good botanist’2 and to him Dawson Turner, a Norfolk banker who was also an antiquarian and an eminent botanist, dedicated Muscologiae Hibernicae spicilegium (Figures 2a & b), published privately in Yarmouth in the early Spring 1804. Only the scantiest fragments of information have been published about Scott, who was Professor of Botany in the University of Dublin from late November 1800 until his death in September 1808. Praeger3 recounted his professorship (but gave incorrect dates4) and noted that Scott had discovered intermediate bladderwort, Utricularia intermedia, in Fermanagh5 and the moss Dicranum scottianum in Cavan, that Muscologiae Hibernicae spicilegium was dedicated to him by his ‘chief friend’, Dawson Turner, and that Robert Brown coined Scottia for an Australian genus in the Fabaceae in his memory. Scott received brief mentions in Smith’s English botany,6 Moore’s synopsis of the mosses of Ireland,7 and in the historical preface to Colgan’s Flora of the county Dublin8 where he is credited with adding upright brome, Bromus (= Bromopsis) erectus, to the county’s flora, as well as horned pondweed, Zannichellia palustris, beaked tasselweed, Ruppia maritima, and greater pond-sedge, Carex riparia.

He attended the Christian Brothers School in Marino, and later worked in the family business, a grocers and licensed premises. His first brush with politics came in 1905 when, with his brother Phil and uncle P.J., he attended the first Sinn Féin convention in 1905. Serving as a Sinn Féin councillor on Dublin Corporation from 1909 until 1922, he joined the Irish Volunteers in 1913, although he never joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood. During the Easter 1916 Rising, Cosgrave served under Eamonn Ceannt at the South Dublin Union. His was not a minor role, and after the Rising he was sentenced to death. This was later commuted to penal servitude for life, and he was transported to Frongoch in Wales along with many other rebels. As public opinion began to favour the rebels, Cosgrave stood for election in the 1917 Kilkenny city by-election, and won despite being imprisoned. This was followed by another win the following year in Kilkenny North. Cosgrave took his seat in the First Dáil on his release from prison in 1919.
