  • Norris Families Residing in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland Between 1740-1859 Daniel E
    Norris Families Residing in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland Between 1740-1859 Daniel E. Norris February 2007 Purpose: An overwhelming amount genealogical information exists for the Norris families emigrating from Derry County, Northern Ireland and settling in Western Pennsylvania. Well documented historical information pertaining to the six brothers of Robert Jr., Daniel, Adam, John, James and Henry Norris has been established. However, little is known about their father - Robert Norris Sr. Thus, the purpose of this research project is to discover additional information pertaining to the Robert Norris Sr. family and other Norris families who resided in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland between 1740 - 1859. Acknowledgments: This Norris family genealogical project, which began as a high school sociology class assignment in 1980, has been a work in progress for more than 25 years. I wish to thank Mr. William Riley, former Pine-Richland School District Teacher, Gibsonia, Pennsylvania (PA) for the introduction into genealogy. My grandparents, Joseph and Margaret Norris of Gibsonia, PA for providing me with much of the initial family information. Additional family researchers who have contributed information have included Dorothy (Dot) Voeckel of Tarentum, PA and Patricia Schnell, Tonasket, WA. Luck intervened as I was placed in contact with Richard Frew, a Derry County, Northern Ireland Genealogist, whose efforts made this project possible. His keen knowledge of historical documents, particularly church related records, and dedicated service produced or confirmed most of the following research. United States Documentation Pertaining to the Norris Family of Western Pennsylvania: 1 In order to progress further back into Norris family history, it was necessary to assemble as many “known” pieces of information as possible to be used as a basis.

  • Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper the Plantation
    Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper The Plantation of Ulster and the creation of the county of Londonderry On the 28th January 1610 articles of agreement were signed between the City of London and James I, king of England and Scotland, for the colonisation of an area in the province of Ulster which was to become the county of Londonderry. This agreement modified the original plan for the Plantation of Ulster which had been drawn up in 1609. The area now to be allocated to the City of London included the then county of Coleraine,1 the barony of Loughinsholin in the then county of Tyrone, the existing town at Derry2 with adjacent land in county Donegal, and a portion of land on the county Antrim side of the Bann surrounding the existing town at Coleraine. The Londoners did not receive their formal grant from the Crown until 1613 when the new county was given the name Londonderry and the historic site at Derry was also renamed Londonderry – a name that is still causing controversy today.3 The baronies within the new county were: 1. Tirkeeran, an area to the east of the Foyle river which included the Faughan valley. 2. Keenaght, an area which included the valley of the river Roe and the lowlands at its mouth along Lough Foyle, including Magilligan. 3. Coleraine, an area which included the western side of the lower Bann valley as far west as Dunboe and Ringsend and stretching southwards from the north coast through Macosquin, Aghadowey, and Garvagh to near Kilrea. 4. Loughinsholin, formerly an area in county Tyrone, situated between the Sperrin mountains in the west and the river Bann and Lough Neagh on the east, and stretching southwards from around Kilrea through Maghera, Magherafelt and Moneymore to the river Ballinderry.

  • Victoria Cross Awards Warrants Concerning The
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 3 Nr 2, 1973. http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za VICTORIA CROSS AWARDS INTRODUCTION In the military history of both the British Empire and of the Western World, the highest British military decoration, namely the Victoria Cross, has attained con- siderable renown. The Victoria Cross was introduced in terms of the Royal Warrant of 29 January, 1856 and by 1957 a total of 1346 had been awarded, among which were 3 bars as second awards. As far as the award of the V.C. under changing conditions in warfare is concerned, the following has been extracted from an authoritative article: The conditions of warfare changed so considerably in the succeed- ing hundred years that, wehereas in 1856, the saving of a comrade's life under fire or the. capture of a standard, was sufficient to earn a Victoria Cross, during World War II, a much higher degree of self-sacrifice was required, as was shown by the number of Victoria Crosses posthumously awarded. This article largely stems from an inquiry recently addressed to the Military Historical and Archival Services. It was compiled and edited by Cmdt. Jan Ploeger, M.A., M.Ed., D.Phil., Acad. and Capt. F. J. Jacobs, B.A.(Hons.), U.E.D. of the Military Historical and Archival Services, S.A.D.F. Encyclopedia Britannica, (1968), Vol. 15, p. 63. Under the heading The V.C. and D.S.O. (Ed.

  • Excavating Cartographic Encounters in Plantation Ireland Through GIS
    Mapping Worlds? Excavating Cartographic Encounters in Plantation Ireland through GIS Keith Lilley and Catherine Porter School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology Queen’s University Belfast ABSTRACT: This paper uses the analytical potential of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to explore processes of map production and circulation in early- seventeenth-century Ireland. The paper focuses on a group of historic maps attributed to Josias Bodley, which were commissioned in 1609 by the English Crown to assist in the Plantation of Ulster. Through GIS and digitizing map-features, and in particular by quantifying map-distortion, it is possible to examine how these maps were made, and by whom. Statistical analyses of spatial data derived from the GIS are shown to provide a methodological basis for “excavating” historical geographies of Plantation map-making. These techniques, when combined with contemporary written sources, reveal further insight on the “cartographic encounters” taking place between surveyors and map-makers working in Ireland in the early 1600s, opening up the “mapping worlds” which linked Ireland and Britain through the networks and embodied practices of Bodley and his map-makers. rom his lodging on the Strand in London in March 1610, Sir Thomas Ridgeway, the first earl of Londonderry, wrote a letter to the earl of Salisbury, Robert Cecil, then the lord treasurer Ffor England and the English Crown.1 Referring to maps “newly bound in six several books,” Ridgeway’s letter marked the end of a long enterprise, begun some eighteen months earlier, of surveying and mapping the Irish lands newly taken for plantation; the escheated counties of Ulster.
