  • Ballaghaderreen and the Mayo-Roscommon Boundary

    Ballaghaderreen and the Mayo-Roscommon Boundary

    ..;.. BALLAGHADERREEN AND THE MAYO-ROSCOMMON BOUNDARY h Map Location of Ballaa:haderreen: In 1824 the British Parliament authorised a survey of the whole island of Ireland, at a scale of six inches to one mile. This undertaking was entrusted to the military Board of Ordnance, and the survey became known as the Ordnance Survey. The beautiful 6" maps, produced as a ,result of the survey, were published over the years 1833 to 1846. The maps for County Roscommon appeared in 1837; those for County Mayo in 1838. If one wishes to find the map of the Ballaghaderreen area in that first Ordnance Survey, one turns to Mayo, sheet 74. After the first survey, the Ordnance Survey - as the surveying body became known - continued the work of mapping the country. It produced maps at different scales, and it published revisions of earlier maps. A major revision of the original 6" maps took place in the early years of this century. If one wishes to find the map of Ballaghaderreen area in this edition, one must now tum to Roscommon, sheet 8. Clearly by that time Ballaghaderreen had moved to County Roscommon. The Ordnance Survey does not, of course, decide the county boundaries. It simply follows the boundaries laid down by the bodies, who organise local government in the country. These bodies, sometime near the end of the last century, decided that the boundary between Counties Mayo and Roscommon should be re-drawn, so as to bring the Ballaghaderreen area from Mayo into Roscommon. Since the boundary was over three hundred years old at that time, it seems of interest to ask who made the change, and why they made it.

    Issues Paper

    Issues Paper Your County Your Plan Your Future Get Involved Make a Submission WHAT IS A COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN? The County Development Plan is a document that sets out the overall strategy and vision for the proper planning and sustainable development of the county over the 6 year plan period. The Plan will be prepared in the context of the framework of national and regional strategies and guidelines, and must be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). The Plan consists of a written statement and accompanying maps. The County Development Plan is a material consideration in making decisions on future planning applications. WHY GET INVOLVED? Given that the new County Development Plan will set out the policy position for the development of the county, it should reflect the needs and ambitions of all communities and residents of County Roscommon. It is important that you have your say on the key issues which will shape the county, including on topics such as housing, economic development, infrastructure provision, environmental protection and climate change. This Issues Paper represents the first step in preparing the new County Development Plan. The paper presents a broad overview of the main issues of consideration and poses a number of questions. The Issues Paper is intended to provoke thought and encourage discussion and involvement from the general public as we plan for the future development of the county. Your input from this early stage onwards is an important part of the plan

Introduction Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths commenced in Ireland in 1864, though registration of marriages of non‐Roman Catholics was introduced earlier in 1845. The Births, marriages and deaths were registered by geographical areas known as Registration Districts (also known as Superintendent Registrar’s Districts). The boundaries of the registration districts followed the boundaries of the Poor Law Unions created earlier under the 1838 Poor Law Act for the administration of relief to the poor.

LONDON : A. W. BENNETT, SUCCESSOR TO W. & F. G. CASH, 5 , BISHOPSGATE-STREET, WITHOUT. 1865. S DUBLIN: PRINTED BY R. D. WEBB AND SON, GREAT BRUNS WICK-STREET. REPORT, &c. I n presenting tliis final Report of the proceedings of the Relief Committee of the Society of Friends, it is needful to have reference to the Report which was published in 1852, and to which was annexed a statement of accounts, showing a balance re­ maining unappropriated of £2,765 7s. id. This sum, after the payment of some small out­ standing claims, was invested at interest to await the probable contingency of a period of distress occurring hereafter, in which such assistance as was afforded in 1847 an(l 1848 might again be required. The first claim which it appeared right to ' recognize was made in i860, and came from the barony of Erris, an extensive district in the north­ west of the county of Mayo, consisting chiefly of unproductive bog and mountain, and thinly in­ habited in proportion to its extent. The crops of 1859 ha<l suffered severely from local causes, and there was in consequence much distress in this district in the spring and early summer of i860. The Committee, on being applied to, requested a gentleman who had visited Erris in 1847 and 1848 4 to investigate its present condition ; on his report it was agreed to afford some assistance, and even­ tually the sum of £562 12s.

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.
