  • Smythe-Wood Series A
    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • Crilly Family of Gorteade, Upperlands
    The Family of John Crilly of Gorteade, Upperlands Within the townland of Gorteade, which is near the village of Upperlands in South Derry, there were a number of Crilly families, most of whom lived on or near a hill in the townland known locally as Crilly’s Hill. The map on the left shows the general location of Gorteade within the Maghera/Kilrea area. The other map is a copy of the First Edition of the Ordnance Survey Map [PRONI: OS/6/5/32/1 & OS/6/5/33/1] on which I have marked the general area of Crilly’s Hill within the townland. In 1831 there were nine families of Crilly living in the townland, By the time of the Griffith’s Valuation in 1859 there were five. In 1901 there were four families. Today there are no Crilly families living in the townland. I have chosen one of these Crilly families because of the fact that Joe Doherty of Gorteade, whose family is the subject of a separate case study, is related to one of them. Joe’s mother was Mary Crilly who was the daughter of a William Crilly who was the son of John Crilly who was one of the Crilly families listed in the 1831 Census Returns. John Crilly had two other sons, Daniel and John. The three sons became policeman and therefore spent a substantial part of their lives in other parts of Ireland. Two of them William and Daniel returned to the townland and, although both dead by 1901, their families are listed in both the 1901 and the 1911 Census.

  • The Family of Robert Montgomery Living in Upperlands in 1901
    The Family of Robert Montgomery living in Upperlands in 1901 Robert Montgomery and his family were listed in the 1901 Census Enumerators' Returns for the townland of Upperland. The family actually lived in the village of Upperlands. Note that the official name for the townland is Upperland but the village is known as Upperlands. The map, immediately below, shows the general location of Upperlands within the wider district. Valuation Map 1859 OS Map 1905 PRONI: VAL/12/D/32B PRONI: OS/6/5/32/3 1901 Census [Swatragh DED] [PRONI: MIC354/5/37] Robert Montgomery, his wife, four sons and his nephew Robert McClintock lived in a house in the village of Upperlands. I have not been able to find the exact location of his house but I am certain it was somewhere inside the red circle on each map. There was considerable development within the village between the two maps. Clarks of Upperlands who owned the linen mills in Upperlands had begun building houses for their workers in the 1880s and the Armstrong family were living in one of those houses in 1901. The house was slated, had 4 front windows and 4 rooms. 1 House Forename Surname Relationship Religion Education Age Sex Profession Marriage Where No. Born 21 Robert Montgomery Head of Presb.
