  • Significant New Survey Findings in Strangford Entrance and Elsewhere
    Significant new survey findings in Strangford entrance and elsewhere Admiralty Notices to Mariners No 5404 and 5428 of 2013, based on multibeam echosounder full-seabed-coverage surveys on the east coast of County Down between Killough and Donaghadee, have some very surprising findings, including many rocks hitherto uncharted, and many known ones revised shallower. There are significant implications for pilotage of the minor channels in the entrance to Strangford Lough. This area was cross-checked by an Irish Cruising Club team on January 20th, with the assistance of Strangford pilot Jeremy Rogers, and the government survey findings were confirmed. New directions for the channels, established by the team, have been included in the latest amendments to the ICC East and North Coasts Sailing Directions, 11th edition, on www.irishcruisingclub.com, and are summarised below. Note particularly that for the West Channel the traditional transit line 320·5° on Kilclief Church can no longer be recommended. A new 12th edition East & North Coasts Sailing Directions, 2014, thoroughly revised and up to date, will be available in March. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ West Channel Strangford Entrance Ballyquintin Point The passage W of the Angus Rock is less subject to the tide than the main 5 Pladdy Lug channel and tends to be much calmer in Fl R 5s onshore winds against the tidal stream.

  • 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.
