  • 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.

Geological history The oldest rocks in County Armagh are Ordovician and were deposited 490 to 450 million years ago [Ma] in an ocean that divided Ireland in two. As this closed further deep-water sediments were dumped into the ocean and these make up the rocks that stretch between Longford and Down (grey on the map). Subsequently in the Devonian (400 Ma) when the crust was unstable, granites and other pale igneous rocks were injected into these older rocks. These now form part of the upland districts in the southeast of the county and towards Newry. By the Carboniferous the whole county was drowned beneath a shallow sea in which marine life was abundant and diverse. In the limestones that were once quarried around Armagh city many fossils can be found. These include brachiopods, gastropod snails, bryozoans, corals, and significantly shark teeth.

  • Early Quaker Records in Co Armagh
    Early Quaker Records in County Armagh_Layout 1 23/10/2013 10:42 Page 1 POYNTZPASS AND DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY 71 EARLY QUAKER RECORDS IN COUNTY ARMAGH BY ROSS CHAPMAN Friends house - Moyallon built 1736 n these parts, the 1600’s were a time of turmoil, unsettled lands being resettled, new laws and ways of worship being introduced, land ownership being Ichanged. The seeds of discord were being sown. A century later when Poyntzpass was coming into being, its three main streets tell us of the three strands that make up the character of Ulster. These streets are Church Street, Chapel Street and Meeting Street, representing the English Protestant (Church), the Irish Catholic (Chapel), and Scottish Presbyterian (Meeting) roots. In Armagh City, the three strands are named English, Irish and Scotch streets and they are good reminders of the way that those identities grew up side by side. But history is not as simple and tidy as that! For among those who came from the north of England and settled in County Armagh were some who did not fit into any of the three main categories. At that time in the 1650’s this county was part of a Republic under Oliver Cromwell. Church and government were developing in a way which left some unsatisfied and disillusioned. A few men and women preachers came, travelling through towns and villages, to give a different slant on Christianity, distinct from each of the three main strands. They called themselves ‘friends’, as Christ said to his followers, “I call you not servants, but friends”,(John 15:15) so these pioneers took up the calling of being ‘Friends’.

  • Ireland Homeland
    Ireland Homeland Hopefully the day will arrive when some young, energetic, next generation genealogist travels to Ireland and uncovers documentation that might help us understand exactly where our Blackburn ancestors lived in or around Loughgall, Ireland. For now, we have to rely on stories about the region generally to understand how our ancestors lived and how that area shaped their lives. Quaker records clearly indicate that our Blackburns were from Loughgall in County Armagh, but at first blush that could be a very broad statement about their homeland. Loughgall is the name of a parish in County Armagh and within that parish there are more than 30 townlands and boroughs. Ireland is sub-divided in a very unique way. The island is divided into four provinces – Ulster, Munster, Connacht and Leinster. The provinces basically fall along boundaries of kingdoms that existed before the island was conquered by the Normans. [A fifth kingdom, Meath, was gradually merged through history into Leinster.] The county of Armagh is part of the province of Ulster. Ulster consists of nine counties in the northern part of Ireland. When the Irish Republic achieved independence in 1922, Ulster was divided up. Three counties with heavily Catholic majorities were ceded to Ireland. The remaining six counties became what is now commonly known as Northern Ireland, its Protestant majority deciding to align with the United Kingdom in 1922. Interestingly enough, 90 years later, the majority of the population in Northern Ireland is now, again, Catholic. Armagh remained part of that northern group of counties, together with counties Antrim, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone.
