  • December 2020 Newsletter
    Parishes of Swords Clonmethan Kilsallaghan Donabate and Lusk Newsletter December 2020 Notes from the Rector Illness We continue to remember in our prayers all those who are ill. In particular at this time, we pray for Jean Ellerker, Peter McMurtry, Cecil Lee and Agnes Wilson. Parish Registers – Bereavement – Maud Keogh Deepest sympathy is extended to the Keogh and Lee families on the death of Maud Keogh. Maud spent the last six weeks of her life at her home in Ballyboughal under the loving care of her family. Maud was known as an artist who won a number of awards, and was involved with the Flavours of Fingal festival. She was originally from Donabate, was a great supporter of the annual Church Fete there and also supported fundraising events for Saint Columba's Church in Swords. She was the beloved wife of the late Paddy Keogh, and is sadly missed by her loving children Helga, Glenn, Vanessa, Leigh, Sorrell and Ashley, also her brothers Cecil and John, sister-in-law Doreen Lee, and the wider family. The Rector led a service of thanksgiving for her life, which took place on Monday the 26th October at her home, followed by interment at Saint Mary's, Clonmethan. May the peace and love of God continue to surround you all. Remembrance Sunday For Remembrance Sunday this year, we had a YouTube online service to remember all those who lost their lives in the two great wars of the 20th Century and in all conflicts since. Special thanks go to David Scott who sang 'Abide With Me' so beautifully for the service which included scenes of the square and round tower at Saint Columba's Church and also beautiful scenes of North County Dublin.

George spent his whole life in Saint Ita's Hospital, as his father worked in Saint Ita's and then George became a patient there from an early age. A service of thanksgiving for George's life was held in Rock's Funeral Home Swords by the Rector on the 29th September, and burial took place in Saint Jerome's Cemetery afterwards.

  • 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.
