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. -

Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B
Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B., • Bindon Street, Ennis, March 23, 1878 The parishes are taken in the order in which they stand under the several rural deaneries, as set forth in the Regal Visitation of 1622, and the particulars to which attention is directed appear in the following order throughout, viz. : — 1°. The name or names of the parish. 2°. The meaning or etymology of the name, as given by some competent authority in Irish literature. 3°. The size, with the actual and relative situation of the parish in each case. 4°. The ecclesiastical and other principal ancient remains and documents ; also brief notes of men of mark, old families, natural curiosities, or any historical incidents of importance connected with the parish ; also the inscriptions on old church plate. I. The Rural Deanery O’Mullod. This is the same as the territory or cantred of O'Mullod, so called from “M‘Blod, the son of Cas.” KILLALOE PARISH. The name is usually interpreted as Kill-da-lua,orKill-O’Mollua, from a famous saint of the 6th century, who is believed to have fllourished here. (Lanigan, quoted at Clonfert-Mollua, infra.) The parish is situated on the western side of the Shannon, in size 13,045 acres ; and is bounded on the north by the parish of Ogonello and Kilno ; on the west by that of Killokennedy ; on the south by Kiltenanlea ; and on the east by the Shannon, which separates it from the county of Tipperary. The ecclesiastical remains are the cathedral, and the stone-roofed oratory, or duirthrach,tothe north of it, which is not unlike Saint ColumKille’s house at Kells, or Kevin’s kitchen at Glendalough. -

The West Clann Chuiléin Lordship in 1586: Evidence from a Forgotten Inquisition
N.M.A.J. vol. 48, 2008 33 The West Clann Chuiléin Lordship in 1586: Evidence from a Forgotten Inquisition LUKE McINERNEY An unpublished inquisition of the Court of Exchequer is used to shed new light on the inner workings of a sixteenth-century Gaelic lordship prior to the collapse of the Gaelic system. As a contemporary recording of native political organisation it provides valuable evidence on social hierarchies, economic organisation and place-names. A remarkable inquisition of the Court of the Exchequer held at Galway and dated 27 January 1585 (recte1586) has come down to us in transcribed form by the early twentieth century antiquarian Robert William (R.W) Twigge1 and is collated amongst various documents in his unfinished work, Materials for a History of Clann-Cuilein.2 R.W Twigge was one of several antiquaries whose interest centered on County Clare and who published articles of historical and genealogical interest.3 His contemporaries included George Unthank Macnamara who collaborated with R.W Twigge in his unpublished work Materials for a History of Clann-Cuilein4 and the prolific antiquary, George Thomas Westropp. R.W. Twigge transcribed this inquisition because of its relevance to the McNamara (Mac Conmara) family and its connection with the history of Clann Chuiléin. The majority of inquisition material that has survived for sixteenth and seventeenth century County Clare is due to the efforts of James Frost who published, in abstract form, 218 inquisition post mortem cases in his 1893 A History and Topography of the County of Clare, before they were destroyed in 1922.5 James Frost did not copy the 1586 inquisition document and so its unlikely survival can be credited to R.W. -
Lettermoylan of Clann Bhruaideadha: a Résumé of Their Landholding, Topography & History
McInerney/Lmoylan 18/1/13 8:20 PM Page 81 North Munster Antiquarian Journal vol. 52, 2012 81 Lettermoylan of Clann Bhruaideadha: A résumé of their landholding, topography & history LUKE McINERNEY This paper surveys the landholding of the learned poet-chronicler lineage, Clann Bhruaideadha of west Co. Clare and touches on the relationship between Clann Bhruaideadha and their estate at Lettermoylan on Slieve Callan. As members of the Gaelic learned class Clann Bhruaideadha had extensive landholding in Ibrickan and other parts of Co. Clare, including church land, crannóg and towerhouse settlements. Confusion appears to exist in Co. Clare as to the whereabouts of Lettermoylan.1 Lettermoylan, it may be observed, was one of the historical estates of the Meic Bhruaideadha (viz. Clann Bhruaideadha2), a learned poet-chronicler lineage that was among the literati service families whose chief patrons were the Uí Bhriain of Thomond. Uncertainty over the location of Lettermoylan is compounded by the observation that its location on the eastern slopes of Slieve Callan (Sliabh Calláin) afforded the area little value in agricultural terms. It is deemed an unlikely residence for a high status family of the Gaelic literary class. The land surrounding the slopes of Slieve Callan are characterised as marginal and of low productive value, a fact easily deduced from a walk around the boggy perimeter of its eastern and southern slopes. This confusion arose from the misleading identification in John O’Donovan’s edited version of the Annals of the Four Masters (1856).3 There it states Lettermoylan lay in Dysert within a subdivision of ‘Glangee’. -

THE CAEERS OF COUNTY CLARE: THEIR NAMES, FEATURES, AND BIBLIOGRAPHY. BY THOMAS 3. WESTROPP, M.A. [Read FEBRUARY 25TH, 1901.] CLARE occupies so conspicuous a place among the caher-abounding districts of Ireland that I venture to lay before the Royal Irish Academy a list of the names, with short descriptions, and a few notes on the more interesting of those stone forts so exceptionally abundant in that part of the ancient Thomond. The total of forts of all kinds in the county is no less than 2420 (or roughly speaking one fort to 342 acres), the highest proportion among the counties ofMunster, and only exceeded by Sligo among the districts of our western coast. -

Ollscoil Náisiúnta Na h-Éireann ‘Settlement and Social Change in the Barony of Tulla, c. 1650-1845’ By Teresa Shoosmith, B.A. Hons., M.A. Hons. A thesis presented in the National University of Ireland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Dr. Pádraig Lenihan College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies National University of Ireland, Galway March 2015 Dedication A thesis is never the work of one person. I could not have managed it without the constant encouragement, patience and faith of my husband, Alan, who also contributed drawings, advice and eagle-eyed editing. I could not have completed this work without the aid of an SPAHSS Fellowship from NUI Galway, so I am grateful for funding and understanding during my health problems. Supervising a PhD project is not an easy task. My special thanks go to the two ‘fathers’ of this thesis: Dr. Gerard Moran, who oversaw its inception, and Dr. Pádraig Lenihan, who has been an inspiring guide and mentor. Nobody could write history without librarians, so I would like to thank the staff of the James Hardiman Library, N. U. I. Galway. We in county Clare are blessed with what must be the finest local studies centre in the country, so my thanks go to Peter and Brian for their unstinting help. -
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 November 2017 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 over 1100. 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.
