The Rt. Revd John McDowell, Bishop of Clogher paid tribute to the outstanding service which the Archdeacon had given to the The Revd Canon Helene T-Steed Diocese and to the Church. “Cecil Pringle has an unparalleled knowledge of the diocese of Clogher and has brought all of his skills, enthusiasm and dedication to bear during his period of service as Archdeacon. He has also served the central bodies of the Church of Ireland in virtually every capacity possible, most recently as a member of the Executive Committee of the Representative Church Body. In addition to his many other offices Archdeacon Pringle also served as a member of the Western Education and Library Board for ten years, during which time he chaired the Teaching Appointments Committee. CNI - a ministry in Christian communication Page 1 CNI Irish news 15th February In the Church of Ireland archdeacons are required to stand down from that office at the age of seventy. However I am delighted to be able to say that Archdeacon Pringle will continue to have the care of the parishes of Drumkeeran, Muckross and Templecarne. It would be impossible for me to adequately express the debt which I personally owe to Archdeacon Pringle for his advice, support and encouragement over the past two and a half years since I came to this Diocese”.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
