  • 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.

  • Hyde-Dougan 122118
    Hyde-Dougan Family History This is a work in progress. Please send corrections, additional information, and questions to [email protected]. For many years Sharon did research in libraries and family history centers, scrolling through microfilmed records. The advent of Internet resources was both a timesaving tool and a nuisance, since many people have published family trees with incorrect or unverified information. We’ve made every attempt to indicate our level of confidence in the information presented here and document our sources. Peter Flanagan-Hyde’s direct ancestors are in bold type. We have traced the Hyde family back to Joseph Hyde,1 father of Henry Benjamin Hyde. Henry was born about 1848 and, according to family oral history, died on July 12, 1898, at about age 50.2 However, the Civil Registration Deaths Index for July and August 1898 listed the death of Henry Hyde, age 60, in Lurgan, which would put his birth in about 1838.3 He was said to be buried with his wife near the front door of the Episcopal Church in Seagoe, Portadown, County Armagh, Ireland.4,5 We visited that churchyard cemetery in July 2002 and there is a grave marked “Hyde,” with no other information, near the entrance. (Left, Peter at Hyde gravesite in Seagoe, 2002) According to oral history, Henry was born in County Wicklow, Ireland6 and had two brothers, Samuel and John, who may have been born in England and lived in England for a period of time.7 We have not located records to verify this information. A letter written by Samuel to Henry on August 16, 1870 acknowledges receipt of a letter from Henry dated August 14, so we assume they were in fairly close proximity.

  • County Armagh Scarce, Rare and Extinct Vascular Plant Register
    County Armagh Scarce, Rare and Extinct Vascular Plant Register John Faulkner Edited by Julia Nunn Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR) 2015 Vascular Plants Register County Armagh County Armagh Scarce, Rare & Extinct Vascular Plant Register John Faulkner Records editor: John Faulkner Author of species accounts: John Faulkner General editor: Julia Nunn 2015 This register is one of a series, planned eventually to cover the whole of the British Isles, as an initiative of the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI). The purpose of the series is to document records of species that are rare or scarce, and highlight those that are a potential source of concern. In Northern Ireland, Rare Plant Registers are being produced for each county as a co-operative venture between BSBI and the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR) of National Museums Northern Ireland. Most of the records which comprise the core of this register have been extracted from the databases held by the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording at the National Museums Northern Ireland, and by the records editor in his capacity as BSBI vice-county recorder for Armagh These databases contain the overwhelming majority of County Armagh records for vascular plants. There are, however, a few potential sources of old records which require further research, and some existing herbarium specimens which require expert identification. For these and other reasons, the Register should be seen as an initial version which will be updated in due course.
