It had been seized from the Bellews during the English Commonwealth confiscations of 1653. As the estate was situated within the barony of Ardee, it became part of the land grant that was made to English Commonwealth ex-soldiers who had service in Ireland prior to 1649. Many of these ex-soldiers came from families who had been settled in Ireland during the seventeenth century or earlier. A William Peppard or Pepper, was the ex-soldier who was granted Lisrenny (Harold O’Sullivan, A History of Local Government in the County of Louth, IPA, Dublin, 2000, p132-3).

    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.

In order to have a reasonable chance of carrying out a successful search, it is generally necessary to know at least three things: 1 The Name of the family 2 The Parish in which they lived (if the surname is of the popular variety, then the townland of origin is most important or even perhaps a nickname). 3 Approximate Date If this information cannot be supplied, a search can still be made in certain records but the chances of success are small. < starting point The starting point for any genealogical search depends on the information one already has. If one is starting with a name, a place and an approximate date, then the best place to begin is as follows: > For a person living around 1901 or 1911 Census Returns for those years > For a person living in the 1850’s or 1860’s Griffiths Primary Valuation > For a person living in the 1820’s or 1830’s Tithe Applotment Books If one also knows the date of a birth, marriage or death, further details can be sought in different records. In cases where the parish or townland in which the family lived cannot be identified, an index to the Tithe Applotment Books/Griffiths Primary Valuation is available showing the parishes in which each surname appears.This index is generally of value only where the name is a fairly unusual one.

    3 3 7 1 0 2 FAMILIA NUMBER ULSTER GENEALOGICAL REVIEW Memorialisation, settlement and identity in post-Plantation Ulster Ardess Old Graveyard, County Fermanagh EÓIN W. PARKINSON AND EILEEN M . MURPHY INTRODUCTION Grave memorials offer archaeologists a combined source of material and visual culture, which almost uniquely in the field of archaeology, can be directly related to named individuals. In the context of post-Plantation Ulster, grave memorials have the potential to provide invaluable insights in relation to the dynamics and subtleties of group identity within a colonial context. Roulston (1998) highlighted the significance of Ulster’s early grave memorials, emphasising the need to study all aspects of these memorials in order to fully understand the societies and associated identities that created them. raditionally the study of post-medieval graveyards in west Ulster Twas focused on the acquisition of genealogical information derived from memorial inscriptions (Maclagain, 1959; Maguire, 1956; 1961; Maguire and Maguire, 1958; McMahon and Cowan, 1978; Mearáin, 1963; 1966; Mearáin and Ó Gallachair, 1974; Moore, 1954; Ó Gallachair, 1973), although research since the 1970s has demonstrated the extent to which meaningful archaeological information can be drawn out from these unique memorials (Donnelly 103 FAMILIA and Murphy, 2008; Hunter, 2000; McCormick, 1976; 1979; 1983; McKerr et al. 2009; Mytum, 2009a; Mytum and Evans, 2002; 2003b). The majority of this previous research has focused on the grave memorials of south Fermanagh and Monaghan, whilst north Fermanagh and Tyrone have received limited focused study. The Plantation of Ulster after 1609 represents a highly significant chapter in Irish history that witnessed the formation of new structures that reshaped the political, social and economic landscape of Ireland, and introduced new aspects of material and visual culture (Lyttleton and Rynne, 2009; McLaughlin and Lyttleton, 2017).
