Civil Registrations of Deaths in Ireland, 1864Ff — Elderly Rose

Civil Registrations of Deaths in Ireland, 1864ff — Elderly Rose individuals in County Donegal, listed in birth order; Compared to Entries in Griffith's Valuation for the civil parish of Inver, county Donegal, 1857. By Alison Kilpatrick (Ontario, Canada) ©2020.

Objective: To scan the Irish civil records for deaths of individuals, surname: Rose, whose names appear to have been recorded in Griffith's Valuation of the parish of Inver, county Donegal; and to consult other records in order to attempt reconstruction of marital and filial relationships on the off chance that descendants can make reliable connections to an individual named in Griffith's Valuation. These other records include the civil registrations of births and marriages, the Irish census records, historical Irish newspapers, and finding aids provided by genealogical data firms. Scope: (1) Griffith's Valuation for the parish of Inver, county Donegal, 1857. (2) The civil records of death from 1864 forward for the Supervisor's Registration District (SRD) of Donegal were the primary focus. Other SRDs within and adjacent to the county were also searched, i.e., Ballyshannon, Donegal, Dunfanaghy, Glenties, Inishowen, Letterkenny, Londonderry, Millford, Strabane, and Stranorlar. Limitations of this survey: (i) First and foremost, this survey is not a comprehensive one-name study of the Rose families of county Donegal. The purpose of this survey was to attempt to answer one specific question, for which:—see "Objective" above. (ii) The primary constraints on interpreting results of this survey are the absence of church and civil records until the 1860s, and the lack of continuity between the existing records. Specifically, the Tithes Applotment Book for the parish was published in 1825; Griffith's was published thirty-two years later in 1857, a period of time amounting to a long generation between the two record sets; and, both the Tithes and Griffith's recorded only the names of the heads of household, with no personal details regarding age, marital status, or relationship. (iii) The civil records are not a complete data set of all vital events, in particular during the early years of the new system, when some people were reluctant or elected not to attend the government's registry offices for the purpose of registering vital events. (iv) Emigration of many families, widows, and young adults out of the parish commenced well before 1861 (church records) and 1864 (civil records). Since these people's names are not in the surviving Irish records, they cannot be tied to a specific head of household in Griffith's Valuation, 1857, without compelling corroborative evidence.—See (v), below. (v) Any one or a combination of these problems make it impossible to state whether a head of household named in the civil records from 1864 forward, unless very detailed record(s) can be presented, analyzed, and assessed for completeness, accuracy, and reliability. Examples of records which might provide evidence of relationship to an individual named in Griffith's Valuation, 1857: – a family bible or personal journal made by a contemporary (ancestral) family member, having sufficiently detailed entries, i.e., names of parents, siblings, or other relatives, townland, and parish; – naturalization papers that include the name of a relative from home (Ireland), stating relationship, and townland and parish; – detailed historical newspaper accounts; … all of which sources, when considered with the other data for consistency and completeness, must meet the genealogical proof standard. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_Proof_Standard online. Conclusions: I. The Rose family of the civil parish of Inver, county Donegal, and all its Irish branches comprised a relatively small group. Only four households were enumerated in the Tithes book (1825), all in the parish of Inver, and ten in Griffith's Valuation (1857), including one household in the parish of Taughboyne near Letterkenny. Whether the Taughboyne branch was related to the Rose families of the parish of Inver is not known. Long before the census of 1901, the Taughboyne branch had dispersed, either to other parts of Ireland or abroad. The civil marriages found for Rose individuals in the registration districts of Strabane and Londonderry, which include a number of townlands in the parish of Taughboyne, were solemnized in Church of Ireland (Anglican) parishes. As the Rose families of the parish of Inver were 50 miles distant and Roman Catholic by denomination, it would appear that the two groups were unrelated. II. The 32-year gap between the Tithe Applotment Book (1825) and Griffith's Valuation (1857) spans about 1-1/2 generations. This gap, together with the limitation in available biographical data, renders it impossible to link individuals named in the Tithes book with those named in Griffith's with any degree of assurance. Nevertheless, the Tithes book provides an important early 19th century perspective on the number and location of Rose households in 1825. The Irish population was growing apace, and the Tithes book is one of the few† available sources for information pre-Great Famine population numbers and distribution. †Other sources include the 1831 and 1841 censuses which provide summary (not family or individual) data by townland.

III. The gaps in the records between 1825–1861, illustrated in the chart on the next page, coupled with the fact of emigration at various dates, results in an incomplete data set to study the population of Rose families in the parish of Inver. It is essential to keep this in mind rather than assume that the data which survive in the Irish records *must* contain data about our ancestor of interest. This assumption is a logical fallacy which, if clung to, leads to flights of speculative family fiction rather than a credible family history which acknowledges the problems inherent in attempting to trace early emigrants (pre-1861) out of the parish. IV. Because age and any other biographical data were not recorded for the heads of household listed in Griffith's, 1857, we cannot say for certain which William, John, James, Thomas, or Michael occupied a particular plot in a given townland. To clarify, where a civil death record was found in and after 1864 for a William, John, James, Thomas, or Michael, the decedent named in the civil registration of the death might not have been the same who was listed in Griffith's, 1857: he (the decedent) might just as easily have been the son, grandson, or nephew of the man named in Griffith's. V. Some of the households in Griffith's contained men who were of an age to have had their own households, but did not. This became apparent from a study of the death records, for example, George Rose (1814–1867), recorded as (no. 11) in the table below, and Donald Rose (no. 12) of Ardaghy Glebe (1819–1904). In other words, Griffith's did not capture all of the adult men or widowed women who lived in the parish of Inver in 1857. VI. While it was the custom for an Irish family to pass a rental occupancy within a particular townland on to an elder son, movement out of the townland did occur—for example, Thomas Rose (1828–1904) (no. 14) who lived in Townlagh [Townagh] in the parish of Donegal. From which townland in the parish of Inver Thomas removed is not known. VI. By means of emigration, many individuals and families removed to Scotland, England, America, Australia, and elsewhere. The names of those who left before 1861/4 never entered the Irish record except, perhaps, for infrequent mentions in Petty Sessions Court books or historic newspapers. Generally, these last mentioned record types do not assist with the identification of a person cited in the record with a family of origin. VII. The heads of household recorded in the Tithes (1825) and Griffith's (1857) occupied land and therefore enjoyed a secure means of agricultural production. It seems reasonable to conclude that these people were more inclined to stay on in Ireland. VIII. Based on the limitations described above, conclusions about relationships between early emigrants and residents in the parish of Inver can be advanced tentatively, only, prefaced with the words possibly or probably . An excellent example of this kind of research problem is presented by the Rose brothers—Henry, Hugh, Michael, John, and James—who emigrated from county Donegal to central Illinois in the United States between 1859 and the early 1860s. Having left Ireland before the parish and civil records became continuous in 1861 and 1864, respectively, their names are absent from the Irish records. An examination of the American records yields two death certificates naming William Rose as the father, and another which named both parents as William Rose and Catherine McDyer; two of the brothers named Donegal as their home county; and, the American records prove the sibling relationship amongst the five men. A study of the Irish records reveals the following: — Griffith's Valuation (1857) identified two householders named William Rose: one in Legnawley Glebe, and the other in Ardaghy Glebe; — A death record was found for a William Rose (no. 9) of Legnawley townland (1809–1889). This man was probably the head of household named in Griffith's (1857). A death registration for William's wife was not found. William's son, William, jun. (1842–1917) (no. 30) was born before 1861, i.e., before the earliest date in the Catholic registers. Thus, the name of William, sen.'s wife is not known. Without this information, William, sen. of Legnawley cannot be named as the father of Henry, Hugh, et al with any degree of assurance. — A death record was not found for William Rose (no. 1) of Ardaghy townland or his widow. Thus, his wife's name is also unknown and again, William Rose of Ardaghy cannot be named as the father of Henry, Hugh et al of Illinois. — There might have been a third (and fourth) William Rose of an age to have been the father of Henry, Hugh, et al . Such a person, if he existed, was not recorded in Griffith's (1857) or any of the civil records and either died unrecorded or emigrated. The point is, it is not safe to assume that there were only two William Roses in the parish of Inver, of an age to have been the father of these emigrants. — In conclusion, since the records do not clarify which William was Catherine McDyer's husband, neither William of Legnawley nor William of Ardaghy can be named as the father of Henry, Hugh, et al, the emigrants to Illinois. A claim of relationship to one or the other is not defensible, as no records are available to support it.

Notes: – Probably the same man who was recorded as an occupier in Ardaghy Glebe in Griffith's, 1857; OR, he was the father or uncle of a younger William and of James who were listed as occupiers in Ardaghy Glebe in Griffith's, 1857. – Wife's name unknown. – Possibly the father of emigrants to McLean County, Illinois. However, see also No. (9), William Rose of Legnawley Glebe (born c.1809), whose wife's name is also unknown. †Approx. year of birth estimated by birth year of putative son, William (16), who d.1904, b.1829-37. ‡ Death record not found; died in Ireland before 1864?

Notes: – Mother of emigrants to McLean County, Illinois: Henry, Hugh, Michael, John, and James. – Unknown whether Catherine's husband was William of Ardaghy Glebe or William of Legnawley Glebe, both of which men were recorded in Griffith's, 1857. – The deaths of William (but which William?) and Catherine before 1864 would be consistent with several of their sons and daughters having emigrated to the U.S. by the early 1860s. ‡ Death record not found; died in Ireland before 1864?

(3) bef.1836? bef.1864‡ Rose Michael unknown U/K Coolshangan Inver — No, owing to insufficient data Notes: Recorded as holding land in Coolshangan, Griffith's 1857. ‡ Death record not found; died in Ireland before 1864?
