She went on to state that homes in Sandy Braes had been severely flooded and whilst they had no complaints about either the service provided by the Council or the Fire Service they wanted to know about the Rivers Agency and Roads Service and why they had not been notified. She asked what were the Council’s views on the implementation of the plan. 5.2 The Director of Operations explained that Mr Patsy McGlone MLA had contacted him regarding the flooding at Sandy Braes. He then travelled to Magherafelt where he liaised with relevant agencies ensuring that sandbags were issued as required to those affected. 5.3 The Director of Environmental Health advised that his department were out early the next morning visiting homes affected and helping them to complete claim payments of £1,000 for hardship payments under the scheme of Emergency Financial Assistance and by Thursday the first of the payments had been made. 5.4 It was further pointed out that there were no PSNI on site. 5.5 Mr Cassells stated that what happened was, there had been a sudden downpour of rain and that the drainage system could not cope with the heavy deluge of water. However the volume of water had reduced within a couple of hours and the situation changed quickly. He stated that Rivers Agency had removed a culvert behind the bus station which had brought down the water levels. 5.6 Councillor Mrs Forde further enquired where the responsibility lay with the emergency plan and the protocol relating to the notifying of agencies. 5.7 Mr Young explained that there was a flooding incident emergency line and referrals were made to the appropriate drainage agency. The Council’s role would be to liaise with the Drainage Agency and support if requested, possibility set-up an emergency support centre if appropriate, assess the hardship payments, advise on hygiene issues and refer to other agencies as necessary. 5.8 Councillor G C Shiels congratulated the Council staff involved. 5.9 Councillor M G Kearney also commended the staff on their very quick response and the follow-up action. 5.10 Councillor Mrs Forde stated that whilst there were no problems with the Council or Fire Service’s response there were issues with Rivers Agency and the emergency measures for flooding needed to be looked at. 5.11 The Chief Executive advised that no blame could be directed at the Rivers Agency. All of the agencies had reacted quickly to the situation and the fact was that the drainage system could not cope with the sheer volume of water which fell within a very short time. The Rivers Agency was not to blame as the gullies had not been blocked. 6 Resumption under Standing Orders It was Proposed by Councillor Mrs E A Forde Seconded by Councillor D O Totten, and Resolved: that the meeting resume under Standing Orders. 7 Declarations of Interest Councillor Mrs P L Smith declared an interest in The Poetry House, Bellaghy.

    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below.

Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution.

  • Norris Families Residing in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland Between 1740-1859 Daniel E
    Norris Families Residing in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland Between 1740-1859 Daniel E. Norris February 2007 Purpose: An overwhelming amount genealogical information exists for the Norris families emigrating from Derry County, Northern Ireland and settling in Western Pennsylvania. Well documented historical information pertaining to the six brothers of Robert Jr., Daniel, Adam, John, James and Henry Norris has been established. However, little is known about their father - Robert Norris Sr. Thus, the purpose of this research project is to discover additional information pertaining to the Robert Norris Sr. family and other Norris families who resided in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland between 1740 - 1859. Acknowledgments: This Norris family genealogical project, which began as a high school sociology class assignment in 1980, has been a work in progress for more than 25 years. I wish to thank Mr. William Riley, former Pine-Richland School District Teacher, Gibsonia, Pennsylvania (PA) for the introduction into genealogy. My grandparents, Joseph and Margaret Norris of Gibsonia, PA for providing me with much of the initial family information. Additional family researchers who have contributed information have included Dorothy (Dot) Voeckel of Tarentum, PA and Patricia Schnell, Tonasket, WA. Luck intervened as I was placed in contact with Richard Frew, a Derry County, Northern Ireland Genealogist, whose efforts made this project possible. His keen knowledge of historical documents, particularly church related records, and dedicated service produced or confirmed most of the following research. United States Documentation Pertaining to the Norris Family of Western Pennsylvania: 1 In order to progress further back into Norris family history, it was necessary to assemble as many “known” pieces of information as possible to be used as a basis.

  • Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper the Plantation
    Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper The Plantation of Ulster and the creation of the county of Londonderry On the 28th January 1610 articles of agreement were signed between the City of London and James I, king of England and Scotland, for the colonisation of an area in the province of Ulster which was to become the county of Londonderry. This agreement modified the original plan for the Plantation of Ulster which had been drawn up in 1609. The area now to be allocated to the City of London included the then county of Coleraine,1 the barony of Loughinsholin in the then county of Tyrone, the existing town at Derry2 with adjacent land in county Donegal, and a portion of land on the county Antrim side of the Bann surrounding the existing town at Coleraine. The Londoners did not receive their formal grant from the Crown until 1613 when the new county was given the name Londonderry and the historic site at Derry was also renamed Londonderry – a name that is still causing controversy today.3 The baronies within the new county were: 1. Tirkeeran, an area to the east of the Foyle river which included the Faughan valley. 2. Keenaght, an area which included the valley of the river Roe and the lowlands at its mouth along Lough Foyle, including Magilligan. 3. Coleraine, an area which included the western side of the lower Bann valley as far west as Dunboe and Ringsend and stretching southwards from the north coast through Macosquin, Aghadowey, and Garvagh to near Kilrea. 4. Loughinsholin, formerly an area in county Tyrone, situated between the Sperrin mountains in the west and the river Bann and Lough Neagh on the east, and stretching southwards from around Kilrea through Maghera, Magherafelt and Moneymore to the river Ballinderry.
