I wish to thank my supervisor John Bradley for his sure guidance and friendship throughout the four year process. Thanks to the many institutions and archives that I have accessed, especially to the many volunteers at the Kilkenny Archaeological Society Library, Rothe House, particularly Michael O’Dwyer and the late Edward Law; thanks too to Damian Brett of the Kilkenny Library Local Studies Department. Since my return to education in 2004 I have made many friends, both students and staff at the Kilkenny campus of N.U.I.M. I wish to acknowledge especially Chris Reid, Mairead McQuaid, Dr. Proinsias Ó Drisceoil and Dr. William A. Smyth. The administrative staff at N.U.I. Maynooth have been unfailing in their kind assistance to me, to Ann Donoughue and Catherine Heslin - my thanks. I wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Jacinta Prunty and Professors: Jacqueline Hill, Raymond Gillespie, Terence Dooley and Marian Lyons in the History Department for their tutelage and solicitude. Thanks to Fergal O’Donoughue for his helpful assistance and companionship on some long journeys from Maynooth. I received wonderful support from Professor Vincent Comerford to whom I am truly indebted. Since he supervised my minor thesis he has been a constant source of encouragement. The friendship and camaraderie of my fellow students is something that I will always treasure. My thanks to my post-graduate colleagues: Catherine Bergin, Avril Burbridge, Alan Carthy, Luke Diver, Alice Hughes, Jim McCafferty and Bronagh McShane. I greatly appreciate the invaluable assistance that my brother Seán provided in tirelessly proof-reading the thesis. I wish to record my gratitude to P. J. and Helen O’Sullivan, for their support and to my aunt Margaret for her many kindnesses. Finally, I wish to thank my wife Melanie for her patience, unstinting reassurance and love; and my son John for having to suffer my absences from play when Daddy ‘had to study’. iii ABBREVIATIONS C&BR Cork & Bandon Railway D&WR Dublin & Wicklow Railway DIA Dictionary of Irish Architects DIB Dictionary of Irish Biography FJ Freeman’s Journal FLJ Finn’s Leinster Journal HP Hyland Papers IB Irish Builder JPH John Patrick Hyland KAS Kilkenny Archaeological Society KJ Kilkenny Journal KM Kilkenny Moderator KP Kilkenny People KTM Kledang Tin Mining LH Laurence Hyland LJ Leinster Journal MCI Mining Company of Ireland NLI National Library of Ireland OKR Old Kilkenny Review OP Ormonde Papers OCIH Oxford Companion to Irish History PCOG Patrick Cogan O’Gorman RJH Richard Joseph Hyland RPH Richard Patrick Hyland W&KR Waterford & Kilkenny Railway W&TR Waterford & Tramore Railway WKP Walsh Kelly Papers WPH William Paul Hyland iv LIST OF APPENDICES APPENDIX I List of slaters referred to in Laurence Hyland’s ledgers with some associated information including: location, date, ledger reference and other identifying data 366 APPENDIX II List of some notable houses/destinations for Laurence Hyland’s slate 370 APPENDIX III Clients for slates with destinations and some additional information (Dating of 1821-23 if not otherwise indicated) 371 APPENDIX IV Listing of carmen and horse hire (with some notes), dates from 1821 if not otherwise indicated. 398 APPENDIX V Family names listed as carmen in Laurence Hyland’s ledgers, which were also recorded in Griffith’s Valuation within the immediate area of the slate quarry. 402 APPENDIX V I Clients of Hyland for slate who were mayors of Kilkenny city with the dates of their mayoralty 404 APPENDIX VII Extract from a Mount Warrington ledger 405 APPENDIX VIII Whiskey sold to 1 April 1844 407 APPENDIX IX Railway share account of John P.

Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

  • Finding Irish Parish Records Using Fianna Information by Joe Petrie
    Finding Irish Parish Records using Fianna Information By Joe Petrie My Patrick Tobin family (Patrick, Judith Keefe, and their 3 sons) relocated to Northern Bay, Newfoundland from Gowran, Kilkenny, Ireland in very early in the 1800s. One of Patrick and Judith’s grandsons, Richard Tobin (my great grandfather) married Honorah Catherine (Nora) Dooley of North Sydney in November 1869 in St. Joseph’s. Richard and Nora initially settled in Channel, Newfoundland where they had their first 2 children (of 8): WIlliam Richard (my grandfather) and Mary Elizabeth (who was Sister Loretta of the Sisters of Charity of Halifax). The other 6 children were born in North Sydney. Many years ago, I decided to find and research Kilkenney RC Parish records at the local Mormon Church Family History Center’s Library (FHL) – principally to see whether I could find any other related Tobin family lines. (I kept hearing oral histories that indicated that five Tobin brothers relocated to Newfoundland and Canada at the same time.) The task was easier said than done. Why? First, because Gowran Parish Registers started after my Tobin family moved to Newfoundland, they were not in the Parish Registers. Second, Tobin was fairly common surname in Kilkenney. For example, the Tithe Applotment books list 170 records for Tobin. In fact, James Tobin was the only Gowran name – but there’s no proof that James and my ancestor Patrick were related. Using the Fianna Information, the same task would be easier and probably accomplished in a few hours. To help users, the Fianna information is available by County.
