Maughold of Man Eilis Fitzsimons
Maughold of Man Eilis Fitzsimons Queen's University, Belfast For some years now I have been studying the spread of the cult of St. Mochae, who is generally associated with the monastic site of Nendrum on Island Mahee in Strangford Lough, Co. Down.1 Although Nendrum is regarded as a very important early Christian settlement,2 its most famous saint, Mochae, has faded into obscurity and is hardly known today. However, he was once a saint of great stature and in the course of my research I have identified many cult sites throughout Ireland. In this paper I hope to argue that MacCuill/Maughold represents the presence of a cult of Mochae in the Isle of Man. Before talking about Maughold, it is necessary to outline the theories of Professor Padraig Ó Riain on which my research was based. This outline will, of necessity, be brief but I hope not overly simplistic. It is generally accepted nowadays that much of what has been handed down to us in manuscripts about the early centuries of Christianity is not a true and historical description of personages and events but was strongly influenced by political expediency. Annals were adjusted, spurious genealogies constructed, stories of heroes, saints and kings re-written or invented for the purpose of justifying the status quo at the time of writing.3 In spite of 1This is a revised version of a paper given at the Tenth Annual Conference of the Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland, Douglas, 6–9 April 2001. 2A.

Language Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891
Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891).

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.

Irish manuscript sources provide evidence for patronage, literary composition, and customary use, and one can extrapolate from the surviving records of families such as Roche, Butler, Fitzgerald, Plunkett, Cantwell, Purcell and Burke that this involvement may have been as commonplace as it was among the Gaelic families themselves. By the close of the 16th century, the extent to which the Old English, and some of the New English, were comfortable with the Irish language and with the learned orders whose currency it was, is illustrated by the itinerary of the Gaelic physician and scholar, Risteard Ó Conchubhair, as he attended to the gentry – native, newcomer and Old English – in Kildare and Kilkenny, c. -

A History of Surnames of the British Isles, by C
A History of Surnames of the British Isles, by C. L'Estrange Ewen. (London, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., Ltd.) New York, The Macmillan Co., 1931, pp 352-365. [Transcribed by John D. McLaughlin (Lochlan at aol.com) and David N. Ewing (DavidEwing93 at gmail.com).] Chapter XIV THE ETYMON AND ITS SIGNIFICATION Etymological Considerations. Having traced out step by step the evolution of the surname from the personal description or address, examined the various processes of derivation, and gained an insight into the deceptive results of orthographic corruption, a possibly rash essay will now be made to reverse the operation, and taking a modern name, to attempt the exemplification of a method of working, whereby the geographical distribution, language, etymon, and original signification is discovered. By etymon is here meant the “true” or original form, that is, the primary word. At some more or less remote period all surnames have been words: of the four classes—characteristic and occupational were adopted words; local surnames were formerly words or place-names, themselves once either words or personal names + words; and genealogical surnames, with few exceptions, were personal names, also originally current words, sometimes of a bygone age. Comparative philologists are able in most cases to strip such words of their grammatical adjuncts, and to lay bare the radical portion or root as it is called. It is not proposed in this chapter to attempt to discover the ultimate element, or to do more than trace a surname back to the original word, and to determine its meaning, a sufficiently difficult problem and one in which certainty is often elusive. -

Fitzpatrick Clan Society the Clan Quarterly General News We Have
Fitzpatrick Clan Society The Clan Quarterly General News We have some great news! Our congratulations go to two of our Clans, Ó Maol Phádraig Bréifne - O'Mulpatrick of Bréifne and Mac Giolla Phádraig Ulaid - Mac Gilpatrick of Ulster, on their successful registrations with Finte na hÉireann – the Clans of Ireland. With large Fitzpatrick populations in Bréifne and Ulster, particularly Co. Cavan and Co. Down, who have long been recognised in Irish records and by great Irish scholars, these branches of the wider Fitzpatrick Clan are the first to ever receive the official recognition of the Clans of Ireland. Both Clans are very welcome members of the broader Fitzpatrick Clan Society and both Clans now have the peer recognition from other Irish Clans. You can view the list of Clans registered with Clans of Ireland here: Register of Clans. We have now finalised the Clan constitution, which is posted on the Fitzpatrick Clan Society website. Clan membership numbers are now sufficient such that we are accepting nominations for the Clan Officers. These can be emailed in; please note the cut-off date for nominations is 30 April 2019. A reminder that, provided there are sufficient nominations, the five officers shall preferably number: • One from Ó Maol Phádraig Bréifne - O'Mulpatrick of Bréifne; • One Mac Giolla Phádraig Ulaid - Mac Gilpatrick of Ulster; • One Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraige – Fitzpatrick of Ossory; and, • Two from members who do not identify with any of the three groups named above. Website Updates Be sure to check the Fitzpatrick Clan Society website and the forum page – they are updated regularly. -
