Accurate as this may be, it ignores several centuries of the monuments earlier history, since it was originally a Cistercian chapel attached to the monastery of Dunbrody, Co. Wexford. The initial phase of the building comprising of the choir was built c.1254 as a Cistercian house by William de Cogan. How- ever this foundation clearly did not prosper, and following some decades of disuse, it was taken over by the Dominicans very early in the fifteenth century when a papal indulgence was granted for its completion. The Priory was suppressed during the Reformation and came into the ownership of the Earl of Clanricarde around 1582.2 It was abandoned by the Friars c.1712 when they moved to Boula. The following two extracts from Clonfert in the Papal Registers3 are the very first notes on the Dominican establishment in the Papal records, and make it clear that the foundation was already in existence by 1414. - Lateran Regesta, Vol. CLXXV 5 John XXIII De Diversis Formis 1414. 10 Kal. Dec. Constance. (f. 176.) Relaxation as above, f. 172, omitting the feasts of the Invention and Exaltation of Holy Cross, for the Friars Preachers’ church of the Annunciation of St. Mary, Portomna, in the diocese of Clonfert. Universis etc. Licet is etc. - Lateran Regesta, Vol. CCLXXIV (fn. 1) 10 Martin V (cont.) De Diversis Formis 1427. 5 Kal. Feb. SS. Apostoli, Rome. (f. 279.) Richard Gower, Friar Preacher of the house of Portumna (de Portompna) in the diocese of Clonfert. Mural plaques within churches, abbeys and priories are something of a feature from the seventeenth century, which generally consist of rectangular limestone slabs. These can be either framed by an ornate moulding or simply plain. They bear an in- scription more usually in Latin carved in raised or relief lettering. They are high status monuments which often bear some very interesting genealogical material which usually refers to local Gaelic families. One such mural plaque is located in the small chapel north of the main church structures in the priory. It is a classic example of the high quality achieved in the art of stone lettering by East Galway masons in the 17th century, and is pictured below: The well-defined inscription in Latin lettering reads as follows: Orate pro Patribus Christopher O'Wealsh, Ambrose O'Madden, Petr O'Lurcan et Thadae O'Lurcan Ord. Praed. qui hunc lapidem erigifecerunt in memoriam suae sepulturae et aliorum fratrum, anno dni 1670 May. Thus translates into current English as follows: Pray for Fathers Christopher Walsh, Ambrose Madden, Peter Larkin and Timothy Larkin, Dominicans, who had this stone erected in memory of their burial place and those of their brothers, 1670 A.D. These four mentioned priests clearly fulfilled their duties at Portumna through some difficult times, in the af- termath of the Reformation and the increasingly strict Penal Laws which followed. They were quite long- serving too, since three of them were recorded in a list of priests in Ireland in 1657.4 This list was complied by William Burke, O.P., provincial of the order, for Mario Alberizzi, secretary of Propaganda Fide, in Louvain on 15th September 1657. The three recorded were Frs. Ambrose Madden, Peter Larkin and Timothy Larkin. This indicates that these three were already serving priests by 1657, and as the history of the times indicates, the Ireland of 1657 was no good place for any priest to be. Fr. Walsh is not on this list, so he may have been younger than the other three or joined the Portumna community later on. These four priests numbered amongst only 74 Dominican priests in all of Ireland at the time; down from the 400 recorded twelve years earlier for 1645. The record lists: Nomina fratrum Hybernorum ordinis praedicatorum qui praesenti anno 1657 degunt in Hybernia: Names of the Irish Dominican brothers active in Ireland in 1657: 47. R.P. fr. Petrus Lorcan. 48. R.P. fr. Ambrosius Maddin. 49. R.P. fr. Thadaeus Lorcan. In reading through various lists of Irish Dominicans in a variety of locations in the 17th century,5 a footnote to the presence of the O’Maddens prior emerged. This man also appeared on the 1657 list as follows: Sequentes sunt missionarii a Sacra Congregatione de Propaganda Fide nominate The following are nominated as missionaries of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith: 67. R.P. fr. Ricardus Maddin sacrae theologiae professor. Although probably not a reference to the same man despite being a prior at Portumna in the same year as Ambrose Madden above, the location and the circumstances in the latter years of the priory make compelling reading: O'Maddin, Richard, STM. Also Madden. Born 1620ca; a son of Portumna who studied at Avila but could not return to Ireland because of the Cromwellian wars; came instead to Belgium and taught at Utrecht. Left Lou- vain via London for Ireland where prior of Portumna by 1654. (Hib. Dom., 437; 'Miscellaneous documents IIP, p. 35). Listed as 's. theol. professor' among those on the mission, 1657. O'Heyne said he was the best preacher of any nation he had ever heard. Thought worthy of the episcopate 166l; 'a lecturer in theology, of the diocese of Clonfert.' (Collect. Hib., xli (1999), p. 21). Signed the Dominican remonstrance of Oct. 1662 in connection with Peter Walsh. Applied from Ireland for faculties, 1669. (Collect. Hib., vi and vii (1963-64), p.104). De- scribed in 1675 as STP and prior of Portumna. Spicil Ossor., ii, 217. Named STM by the general chapter, 1677. Prior of Limerick, Roscommon, Lorrha, Dublin and Portumna. Being close to Aughrim at the time of the bat- tle, he hid for two weeks in a bog, dying of exposure soon after in his 70th year, Aug. 1691 (O'Heyne, p. 211).

  • Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    National Archives Church of Ireland Parish Registers SURROGATES This listing of Church of Ireland parochial records available in the National Archives is not a list of original parochial returns. Instead it is a list of transcripts, abstracts, and single returns. The Parish Searches consist of thirteen volumes of searches made in Church of Ireland parochial returns (generally baptisms, but sometimes also marriages). The searches were requested in order to ascertain whether the applicant to the Public Record Office of Ireland in the post-1908 period was entitled to an Old Age Pension based on evidence abstracted from the parochial returns then in existence in the Public Record Office of Ireland. Sometimes only one search – against a specific individual – has been recorded from a given parish. Multiple searches against various individuals in city parishes have been recorded in volume 13 and all thirteen volumes are now available for consultation on six microfilms, reference numbers: MFGS 55/1–5 and MFGS 56/1. Many of the surviving transcripts are for one individual only – for example, accessions 999/562 and 999/565 respectively, are certified copy entries in parish registers of baptisms ordered according to address, parish, diocese; or extracts from parish registers for baptismal searches. Many such extracts are for one individual in one parish only. Some of the extracts relate to a specific surname only – for example accession M 474 is a search against the surname ”Seymour” solely (with related names). Many of the transcripts relate to Church of Ireland parochial microfilms – a programme of microfilming which was carried out by the Public Record Office of Ireland in the 1950s.

  • 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.
