The Crozier monument highlights the cost of polar exploration which was predominantly led by the Royal Navy in the quest for alternative sea routes. The cost Northern Ireland - Service in the Royal Navy - In Remembrance Issue 40 Page 3! born by individuals and families is well illustrated by the inscription on the monument. It reads - To perpetuate the remembrance of talent, enterprise, and worth as combined in the character and evidenced in the life of Captain Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier R.N. F.R.S. this monument has been erected by friends, who, as they valued him in life,regret him in death. He was second in command with Captain Sir John Franklin R.N. F.R.S., and captain of H.M. ship Terror, in the polar expedition which left England on the 22 May 1845. Although there remained no survivors of the expedition, enough has been ascertained to show that, to it, is justly due the honour of the discovery of the long sought for North West Passage, and that Captain Crozier, having survived his chief, perished with the remainder of the party after he had bravely led them to the coast of America. He was born at Banbridge, the - September 1796, but of the place or time of his death no man knoweth unto this day."

The War Memorial, Newry Street, Banbridge The monument, the work of the sculptor F. W. Pomeroy, bears the inscription, “In Memory of the Men of Banbridge and district who laid down their lives serving their King and Country in the Great War 1914 – 1918.” A total of 249 men are named on the memorial. property. The family were friends of the Marquis of Downshire and the Earl of Moira. It was from this Earl of Moira - "the best known public character in the three kingdoms" - that Crozier derived one of his christian names.

John Sides Davies MacCormac, a Surgeon, was lost serving in HMS Black Prince at Jutland on 31/05/1916. HMS Black Price, an armoured cruiser, was sunk with 857 men lost. The ship had become separated from the rest of the British fleet and it was reported that: "As Black Prince Northern Ireland - Service in the Royal Navy - In Remembrance Issue 40 Page 6! now suddenly found herself close abreast of the German centre. In a moment she was in a glare of searchlights, a tornado of shell at point blank- range rent her from stem to stern, and in two minutes she was a mass of flames. For a while she was seen as a floating furnace, and then, with an appalling explosion, sank with all hands". John is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial, Panel 11 ! Three were the victims of internal explosions inter ships. Hugh Gilmour, a stoker, and Henry Aversely, a Royal Marine musician, died in HMS Northern Ireland - Service in the Royal Navy - In Remembrance Issue 40 Page 7! Bulwark when she sank off Sheerness on 26/11/1914. Nathaniel Taylor was lost in HMS Natal in Cromarty Firth on 30/12/1915. The captain was hosting a film party aboard and had invited the wives and children of his officers, one civilian friend and his family, and nurses from the nearby hospital ship Drina to attend. A total of seven women, one civilian male, and three children were in attendance that afternoon.Shortly after 1525, and without warning, a series of violent explosions tore through the rear part of the ship. She capsized five minutes later. Some thought that she'd been torpedoed by a German U-boat or detonated a submarine-laid mine, but examination of the wreckage revealed that the explosions were internal.The Admiralty court-martial into the causes of her loss concluded that it was caused by an internal ammunition explosion, possibly due to faulty cordite.The Admiralty issued a revised list of the dead and missing that totalled 390 in January 1916. Thomas Spratt was killed on 15/07/1915 in the Dardanelles at Lancashire Landing, whilst serving with the Royal Naval Division.

  • 1951 Census Down County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch, 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7* 6d NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Government of Northern Irel&nd was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid-night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.

  • Arthur Memoirs.Indd
    Memoirs from Ten Decades 1920s to 2020s Arthur G Chapman Inside Front Cover At McDonagh cousins reunion at Moyallon Centre, October 2019 Preface The decision to write my memoirs arose out of the realisation that I had experienced many years of great change, stretching from the 1920s in the last century to the end of the second decade of the present one. Children and grandchildren expressed curiosity and fascination in regard to memories I related about incidents and events which are now the stuff of history books but which appear unremarkable to me. Each life represents a unique and individual story. Such a story is hard to encompass as a single unit and can be viewed from the standpoint of the protagonist or the spectator. The chief actor is in possession of the total facts but in his narrative he is in danger of presenting a picture which is distorted through portrayal of the subject in either an over-favourable or else a deprecatory light. How can the experiences of many years be truthfully condensed into the limited space of a few chapters? I have been helped by discussing many of the events with my brother Ross, my sister-in-law Helen and my children, Grace, Elizabeth and Hilda who can recall many of these happenings. I find a certain reluctance to talk about myself, to bare the intimate feelings associated with many events in my life, yet I recognise a cathartic and therapeutic effect in bringing them into the open and sharing them with others. By putting them on paper I hope I have achieved this result.
