    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.

There are about 60,000 townlands in Ireland and about 200 of them in South Armagh. The townlands are an historical source that encompasses the mythology of Ireland - the Cattle Raid of Cooley, CU Chulainn, Fionn Mac Cumhail - as well as the early Christian period. But above all else they are the repository of the Irish language which was spoken widely by the people up to the 1920's in areas like Dromimee, Killeavy and Mullaghbane. I hope people enjoy this booklet, whether learners of the language or those interested in the history of the area, and that it might help in the understanding and in the preserva- tion of our townland heritage.

Geological history The oldest rocks in County Armagh are Ordovician and were deposited 490 to 450 million years ago [Ma] in an ocean that divided Ireland in two. As this closed further deep-water sediments were dumped into the ocean and these make up the rocks that stretch between Longford and Down (grey on the map). Subsequently in the Devonian (400 Ma) when the crust was unstable, granites and other pale igneous rocks were injected into these older rocks. These now form part of the upland districts in the southeast of the county and towards Newry. By the Carboniferous the whole county was drowned beneath a shallow sea in which marine life was abundant and diverse. In the limestones that were once quarried around Armagh city many fossils can be found. These include brachiopods, gastropod snails, bryozoans, corals, and significantly shark teeth.

Later on, a wooden bridge was 1598. The ‘pass’ here, through the swampy ground erected. between counties Armagh and Down existed long before According to a petition submitted to the government in that date of course, as an important route. It was of some 1662 by Charles Poyntz’s son, Sir Toby Poyntz, on his strategic importance in times of unrest and at one time own behalf and that of his tenants, this wooden bridge a ‘castle’ or fort of some kind was built at the top of what was regularly damaged by herds of cattle being driven is now William Street.
