De BURGH FAMILY De BURGH FAMILY The de Burgh family association with Western Australian began with the arrival in 1841 of the brothers Henry and Robert on the “James Matthews”. Their history is recorded in ‘The Breakaways’ written by Robert’s great‐grandson William John de Burgh and his wife Margaret. This collection consists chiefly of personal letters written to Robert’s grandson, Robert Sidney Maxwell de Burgh by his own family, by members of the Lefroy family and of inward and outward business correspondence. Robert, always known as Sidney, was the eldest of the seven children of Henry Augustus de Burgh who had married Annette Elizabeth Lefroy in 1878. After being tutored with his Brockman cousins at Cheriton he was formally educated in England, firstly at Dulwich College and subsequently at King’s School, Ely. He took over the management of Cowalla on the Moore River in 1904, married Rachel Lukin in 1909 and farmed at Cowalla for the remainder of his life, whilst also being active in local government. Frequent mention is made in the letters of the proposed sale of Cowalla but it remained in the family’s hands until 1982. In 2002 the family bought back 250 acres that included the original homestead and cottage. Two brief genealogies have been added to the collection to assist in identification of the de Burgh and Lefroy family members among the letter writers.

  • Intermarriage and Other Families This Page Shows the Interconnection
    Intermarriage and Other Families This page shows the interconnection between the Townsend/Townshend family and some of the thirty-five families with whom there were several marriages between 1700 and 1900. It also gives a brief historical background about those families. Names shown in italics indicate that the family shown is connected with the Townsend/Townshend elsewhere. Baldwin The Baldwin family in Co Cork traces its origins to William Baldwin who was a ranger in the royal forests in Shropshire. He married Elinor, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert of Powys and went to Ireland in the late 16th century. His two sons settled in the Bandon area; the eldest brother, Walter, acquired land at Curravordy (Mount Pleasant) and Garrancoonig (Mossgrove) and the youngest, Thomas, purchased land at Lisnagat (Lissarda) adjacent to Curravordy. Walter’s son, also called Walter, was a Cromwellian soldier and it is through his son Herbert that the Baldwin family in Co Cork derives.

  • Open Data for All of Pittsburgh
    PGH Open Data Progress Report data.pittsburghpa.gov Open Data for all of Pittsburgh In 2014, Mayor Peduto’s administration began an ambitious effort to make the City’s data open and accessible to everyone. True transparency and openness were essential steps in ensuring a more responsive City government, and equipping residents and neighborhood organizations with the tools and information they need to work toward stronger, more equitable communities. With our partners at Allegheny County and the University of Pittsburgh, we launched a regional open data platform and have since released 86 data sets. To make viewing and accessing that data even easier, we launched Burgh’s Eye View, a suite of interactive mobile web maps. Residents, community groups, non-profits, and researchers have all used this data to make our city better. Here are their stories.

  • A Half Century of Rivalry Between Pitts- Burgh and Wheeling* F
    A Half Century of Rivalry Between Pitts- burgh and Wheeling* F. Frank Crall It was sometime in 1904 that the Secretary of the Wheeling Board of Trade, R. B. Naylor, paid this compli- ment to his larger neighbor up the Ohio: "Great cities dot this region on every hand, beginning with Pittsburgh on the north with a tonnage of 86,636,680, greater than that of London, New York, Antwerp, and Hamburgh combined; with a coal output in the immediate locality as great as that of France; with iron and steel production larger than that of Great Britain;with a steel rail output greater than that of Germany; with a pig-iron production nearly as large as that of Russia and France, —an industrial develop- ment which is the wonder of our time." x Then turning his attention to his own city Mr.Naylor continued, "Coming down from Pittsburgh we find the valley lined with little Pittsburghs —we have Wheeling, the metropolis of West Virginia, and a little Pittsburgh in very truth, with great iron and steel plants, with extensive pot- teries, big glass houses, and a large number of manufac- turing plants in many lines/' 2 More than a century and a quarter had passed since the founding of both of these cities. The one had become an industrial giant, metropolis of the upper-Ohio Valley. The other had made remarkable progress too, but found its pride gratified if it could but justify the title of "A little Pittsburgh." Census statistics serve only to emphasize this giant-pigmy relationship.

  • Ireland Under the Normans Goddard Henry Orpen
    The Sub-Infeudation Of Connaught 1237 And Afterwards Ireland Under The Normans 1169-1216 By Goddard Henry Orpen LATE SCHOLAR OF TRINITY COLLEGE,DUBLIN EDITOR OF 'THE SONG OF DERMOT AND THE EARL ' MEMBER OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY 1911 Richard de Burgh had now a free hand in Connaught, and though sundry attempts at occupation had been made at various times since the beginning of the century, the effective settlement of Anglo- Normans in the province may be said to have commenced in 1237. In that year, says the Irish annalist, ‘ the barons of Erin came and commenced to build castles in it’. In the following year ‘ castles were erected in Muinter Murchada (the northern half of the barony of Clare, County Galway), Conmaicne Cuile (the barony of Kilmaine, south of the river Robe, County Mayo), and in Cera (the barony of Carra, County Mayo) by the aforesaid barons’. [1] Save for personal quarrels among the O’Conors themselves the peace was unbroken. Unfortunately there is no contemporary summary of Richard de Burgh’s enfeoffments, such as the Song of Dermot gives of those of Strongbow and the elder Hugh de Lacy, and though there trans- cripts in the ‘ Red Book of the Earl of Kildare’ and in the ‘ Gormanston Register’ of several charters of this period, we are largely dependent on indications in the annals, and on inferences from later documents and records for our knowledge of the Anglo-Norman settlement in Connaught. Indeed the first comprehensive account is to be gleaned from the Inquisitions taken in 1333 [2] after the murder of William de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, fifteen years after the great disruption caused by the Scottish invasion under Edward Bruce, and at a time when the royal power in Ireland had begun to wax faint.
