  • Ennis Cathedral
    Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.

  • A History of All Saints Church Stradbally, Castleconnell, Co
    A History of All Saints Church Stradbally, Castleconnell, Co. Limerick East Window “The Ascension” www.gloine.ie Early Days The Parish of Castleconnell is located on the picturesque banks of the River Shannon in County Limerick and it is here that there is supposed to have been a small church built as early as the 6th Century. In the 8th Century AD the Vikings began to raid the coasts of Ireland. At first they attacked the monasteries along the coast, but soon they began raiding inland as the ‘superior technology’ of their boats which allowed them to traverse the open seas also allowed them to navigate the rivers of Ireland. Stradbally or Stráid Bháile (the town of one street) was not immune to their quick and efficient escapades where they most probably kidnapped the natives, using them as slaves, and attacked the little church, looting and burning it in their wake. Between 1400 and 1410 a church was erected once again at Stradbally. The first priest was Dermit O’Hanrachayn.1 It is interesting to note that he served only one year in Stradbally Church as he “vacated [the] Vicarage [of] Stradbally (Killaloe) in 1411 by not being ordained priest in a year”. He was followed in 1411 by Donald O’Mulluyn who remained on until c 1436. Part of the walls of this old church can still be seen to the rear of the present All Saints Church. This original building was first used for Church of Ireland worship in 16152 (though it is listed as “vacant” of clergy at this time) However, by 1618 the vicar was one William Jannes who remained on until 1621.

  • 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.
