The Constabulary in Ballymoney 1822-1922 a Record of Men Who Served in Or Claimed Pension in Ballymoney Or the Surrounding Area The Constabulary in Ballymoney 1822-1922 A record of men who served in or claimed pension in Ballymoney or the surrounding area According to research carried out at the time of the opening of the new police station in Ballymoney in May 2013 there is a record of the Ulster Constabulary possibly based at Townhead Street in Ballymoney around 1822. The end of 2019 saw the development of the old RIC/RUC/PSNI building into private dwellings. The history of the police in the town from the time of the County Constabulary to the Royal Ulster Constabulary saw a legion of men coming and going from the town. Some came to serve and stayed, some went elsewhere and some came from the area and returned on retirement. This study looks at all the officers, head constables and some of the sergeants and constables who were associated with the town and the local area. Some went on to achieve great things, others met sad and often tragic ends and most just went about their lives as normal working men with families and the problems that everyday life throws up. I have where possible tried to identify where they lived through the Property Valuation records which can often be misleading as to the exact number. In 1901 and 1911 I have endeavoured to resolve the census returns as well as identifying the men in the town. In 1921 I have used the last Nominal Return to show which men were working in the town. At the end of the piece the officers and head constables are listed in order of service in the town. For the greater part the men are listed when they first arrived in Ballymoney or as close as records and newspapers can provide information. The last men listed are the pensioners many of whom were local men. The last site the Royal Irish Constabulary used was the former Ballymoney Bridewell on Charlotte Street. In August 1827 it was stated that 3 years prior a considerable sum was presented for building a bridewell at Ballymoney. In 1843 it was noted that the small bridewell is a new building and similar in accommodation to that at Ballymena, containing 2-day rooms and 8 cells. In excellent order as to cleanliness, furniture etc: the keeper attentive to his duty and the registry; and accounts correctly kept. In 1851 362 confined in 7 months in the same period 192 in Ballymena. Up to that point the constabulary had moved to Charlotte Street and were using a building a short distance from the bridewell. This house is now just before the laneway leading to the Reformed Presbyterian Church and the old court house and is 73 Charlotte Street. In September 1880 tenders were sought “for the conversion of Ballymoney Bridewell into Royal Irish Constabulary Barrack. The plans and specification can be seen at the Ballymoney Constabulary Barrack.” In April 1881 in the Westminster “Mr Biggar gave notice that he would on Monday next ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if it is in contemplation to remove the constabulary barracks in Ballymoney from its present position; whether it is proposed to create new barracks to the outside of the town, and in a street in which there is not one public house, and only one shop of any kind; whether it is true that the Town Commissioners at Ballymoney forwarded a memorial to his Excellency urging the transfer of the barracks to a more central site, and, if so, if he has any reason to suppose that said memorial does not express the feelings of the inhabitants, and if his Excellency could direct that Dervock should be the headquarters of the district, and thus save the ratepayers the expense of maintaining barracks in Ballymoney.” “In reply to Mr Callan it was stated by Mr Forster that it was in contemplation to remove the constabulary barracks at Ballymoney to a site thirty yards distant. The expenses were paid out of the taxes and the Treasury had therefore to be considered in the matter.” Valuation records indicate the barracks opened around 1883. In November1923 the Government of Northern Ireland sought tenders for structural alterations and additions to the Ballymoney barracks. The work had been carried out by 1926 and the cost amount to £5,542. It was noted the fixed strength of the station was one district inspector, 1 head constable, 2 sergeants and 9 constables. Of these 1 head constable, 2 sergeants and 5 constables resided in the barracks and the head constable occupied the only married quarters. This is the format of the existing building with the extra floor. This is not intended to be an academic work and is open to correction where errors are found. I hope it is of use. 1825 1825- November 1833 Chief Constable for the District of Upper Dunluce Captain Somerset Corry Somerset Corry was born in 1796. He joined the County Constabulary in 1825 and was posted to Ballymoney as Chief Constable. In November 1833 the Belfast Commercial Chronicle published an address from the High Sheriff of the County of Antrim and the Magistrates and inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Ballymoney recording their deep regret at the news of his removal in October 1833. A further article recorded the death of Chief Constable Somerset Corry at Saintfield County Down 28th November 1835. At that time, he was serving with the County Down Constabulary. In 1825 a case was recorded in the Belfast press of John McLoughlin, a “deaf and dumb boy”, who was indicted at the County Antrim Assizes for taking a few ball cartridges from the pouch of one of the police constables at Ballymoney. John was found not guilty. 1829 On 31st August 1829 Sergeant William West of the County Constabulary based at Ballymoney was shot while executing a warrant on Bamber’s for forcible possession of farm land at Cabragh. John Balmer fired the gun but six in total were held in joint enterprise. Richard Bamber, James Bamber senior and junior and John Bamber senior and junior were indicted for murder. They were also charged with the attempted murder of Richard and Andrew Chambers also named as police. William West was recorded as being the son of “P West” of Ballymoney. The Andrew Chambers mentioned in this case may be Andrew Chambers of the Constabulary number 322. Andrew was born in Co Fermanagh between 1795 or 1798. He was recommended to the police by the Earl of Enniskillen and joined the County Constabulary in Belfast on the first day of 1825. He served in Ballymoney for eight years and ten months before being moved to Tyrone and was stationed in Cookstown. An obituary stated that he had been Constable in charge of Ballymoney. Andrew was pensioned 1st November 1853. He had married Sarah prior to joining on 1st December 1817. He died 13th April 1878 at the residence of Mr Thomas McKinney jr., at Unagh near Cookstown. Andrew’s wife Sarah had pre-deceased him on 30th December 1869 at Lissan Lodge Cookstown aged 70. 1836 1836-1841 Chief Constable Oliver Sutherland Oliver Sutherland was born 1802 in County Galway. He joined the Constabulary 26th January 1824 and served Cavan 1824-1827, Hillsborough County Down 1827-1829, County Londonderry 1829- 1836 (possibly in Garvagh) and Antrim 1836-1842. A return for Chief Constables records Oliver in Ballymoney in 1836. Discharged 1841 but changed to annual pension 16th October 1842 as a Sub Inspector. Oliver died December 1858 at Ballinasloe. 1837 1837-1851 Head Constable James Donaldson 253 James Donaldson was born in County Fermanagh around 1800. He joined the Constabulary on 1st January 1825 and was sent to County Antrim where he spent all of his career. James had been recommended by the Rev Edward Stack of Tubrid, Fermanagh which is in the Kesh area. On 3rd November 1830 James married Mary McBride, eldest daughter of James McBride at Ballymoney. James was stationed at Loughguile at the time. On 1st August 1832 James was promoted to Constable and then 2nd Head Constable on 1st September 1837. A newspaper article at the start of December 1837 records that Sergeant Donaldson of Ballymoney had been promoted to the rank of Head Constable, indicating that he had been in the town prior to promotion. Another article refers to James, on that occasion James was praised for bringing two women to justice for breaking into the laundry of Rev Mr Smyth’s house, stealing property and killing several fowl. Some of the stolen items had been found in a pawn shop run by Mr James McElwain. He as pensioned on 1st April 1851 claiming initially at Coleraine then at Mountmellick County Laois from 24th July 1874. James died in Mountmellick area 3rd June 1876. 1841 1841-1846 Sub Inspector Henry Persse Kirwan Henry Kirwan was born in 1818 at Triston Lodge Killererin County Galway. He was the son of Sub Inspector Edward J Kirwan. Henry held an Ensigns Commission in the Galway Militia but had never served with them. He joined the Irish Constabulary 26th August 1840 and was sent to serve in County Antrim, likely straight to Ballymoney. He remained in the County for 5 years and 4 months and left around January 1846. He then served in Longford, Donegal, Monaghan, Cork ER, Leitrim, Meath and Tipperary NR. By 1st October 1867 he rose to the rank of County Inspector. Henry was pensioned 15th October 1875. Four years later his adopted daughter Sarah/Annette Foster married the barrister and later unionist leader Sir Edward Carson on 19th December 1879.

  • 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.
