  • Cranlome School
    Forty Years in and Around the “Old Bare Bush” Researched and editied by: E. Gillen, B. Grimes, M. Quinn, B. Stewart Contents Page No. Introduction 1 Background of Cranlome School and the Surrounding Area 2 Teachers who taught in Cranlome School 7 Students in the 1920/30’s 11 Students in the 1940/50’s 32 Students in the 1960’s 65 Selected Favourite Literature and Prose 72 Clergy of Killeeshil during the time Cranlome School was open 77 First Communion and Confirmation Photographs 80 Do you remember 85 Quinn/McElroy Memoribilia 86 School and Local Memoribilia 88 Cunningham Family School Photographs 91 Sources 92 Introduction When past pupils of Cranlome School would meet over the years, they would often reminisce and talk about their days there. It was at such a meeting in a Dungannon restaurant that the idea was born to hold a school reunion and prepare a little book about the school and memories of the pupils who went to this seat of learning over the forty years its doors were open. The project began when the first two past pupils got two more to join them and so the Research Team began their work which ha s taken over a year to bring to completion. Now they are looking forward to the 10th.September 2004 when all the Past Pupils from home and abroad will gather in Quinn's Corner where many old acquaintances will meet and have an enjoyable night. Acknowledgements Thanks to all those who loaned us photographs or contributed articles. To all those who gave us help and advice in anyway we are very grateful.

  • A Society in Transition: the Protestant Community in Tyrone 1836-42 Daragh Emmett Curran Thesis for the Degree of Ph.D Departmen
    A SOCIETY IN TRANSITION: THE PROTESTANT COMMUNITY IN TYRONE 1836-42 DARAGH EMMETT CURRAN THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PH.D DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: PROFESSOR RAYMOND GILLESPIE SEPTEMBER, 2010 A society in transition: The Protestant community of County Tyrone 1836-42. Daragh Emmett Curran This thesis deals with the transition that was taking place in Protestant society in the immediate pre-famine period in County Tyrone. It explores how this community, at all social levels, reacted to the changes that were occurring and which were considered detrimental to its position of dominance in society. These changes had the potential to dramatically affect the traditional paternalistic relationship that bound the lower classes to their social betters and this study examines how this relationship survived through economic recession, changes in law and order, increasing concessions being granted to Catholics, lessening government support for the Protestant Church, and the suppression of the dominant Protestant association of the time- the Orange Order. The Order played an integral part in the lives of many Protestants and was an organization that transcended the class divide. Because of this, it becomes the pivot around which this work revolves as the Order, with its wide-stretching network, helped maintain the patriarchal relationship that bound the classes together. It is also a useful tool through which to examine attitudes towards law and order within the Protestant community as changes within this area, especially within the magistracy, affected the upper classes, the very people that the lower classes looked to for guidance.

  • Mcnaughtons of Ireland Alphabetical
    THE McNAUGHTONS OF IRELAND After a few pages of introduction you will find my 240 page database of all the references I have found to male McNaughtons/McNaghtens/McNattens etc who were alive pre c.1840 and had a stated link to Ireland. It is in alphabetical order - and approximate chronological order within that. However, scroll up and down through a name to check that an individual doesn’t reappear later. If anyone discovers any more, please use the comments section and I shall update the table over the years. Some females are found at the end. Notes: Mc implies Scottish roots, and is hence more prevalent in Ulster. This database is hence heavily skewed to families in Ulster, and particularly County Antrim. Marriage between Catholics and Protestants was always common. Catholics frequently ‘renounced Papism’ to further themselves in Society – particularly in order to inherit land. Note that when someone was married in an Anglican church, I erroneously put their religion down as C o I (Church of Ireland) when in fact they could have been any religion but were only allowed to marry in the Parish Church (which was the Anglican Established Church). I feel that, in the 18th C, “McNaghten” and particularly “McNatten” imply longer Irish domicile than McNaughton. However, some of the East Antrim coast McNaughtons had been resident there -possibly for hundreds of years – in what was basically a Scotch community, the Glyns. There is some evidence that McNaghton was pronounced McNaten/McNeighton. McNaughton was often recorded in England as MacNorton. Most McNaghten families had changed their name to McNaughton by 1860 (and the Clan chief ones to Macnaghten).

Additions and amendments are made throughout each year and this list supersedes all previously issued lists. To date there are 1,977 scheduled historic monuments. It is an offence to damage or alter a scheduled site in any way. No works should be planned or undertaken at the sites listed here without first consulting with Historic Environment Division and obtaining any necessary Scheduled Monument Consent.
