    Mainly Ulster families – “B” series – Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Ulster ‘SERIES B’ 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. 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.

  • Irish Presbyterian Clerical Migration As the Key to Unlocking the Mystery of Nineteenth
    Part and Parcel: Irish Presbyterian Clerical Migration as the Key to Unlocking the Mystery of Nineteenth- Century Irish Presbyterian Migration to America by Rankin Sherling A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada October, 2012 Copyright © Rankin Sherling, 2012 Abstract: This thesis traces the migration of Irish Presbyterian clerics to the Thirteen Colonies and America over the course of the years 1683 to 1901. Further, it demonstrates that this clerical migration can be used in conjunction with what is already known about Irish Presbyterian migration to America in the eighteenth century to sketch the general shape and parameters of general Irish Presbyterian migration to the United States in the nineteenth century—something which seemed a near impossibility due to factors such as an absence of useable demographic data. In fact, it solves a problem that has bedeviled specialists in Irish-American immigration for thirty years: how to find and study Irish Protestant immigrants in the nineteenth century in a way which gives some idea of the overall shape and frequency of the phenomenon. The following thesis is interdisciplinary and broad in the techniques employed, questions asked, and the literature it has consulted, incorporating much developed by historians of religion, ethnicity, culture, the Atlantic world, Ireland, and Britain in this study of emigration from Ireland and immigration to America. ii Table of Contents: List of Graphs p. v List of Tables p.vi List of Maps p. ix Chapter 1: Introduction: The Pursuit of Irish Protestants in America: Problems and Solutions p.

  • The Registry Books Are Approximately
    THETHE REGISTRYREGISTRY BOOKSBOOKS Page 2 Clifton Street Cemetery One of the most historically interesting facets of any burying ground are, without doubt, its registry books. Although the New Burying Ground was opened in 1797, it was not until 1831 that the Belfast Charitable Society began to keep a registry of all interments. It is unknown why they did not keep a registry from the beginning, but one reason may be that they were more interested in making money to finance the poor-house through the selling of the graves, than to worry about recording who was being buried in them. However at a meeting held in the poor-house on the 18th of December 1830 it was: Resolved -that a registry of all the interments in the Burying Ground of the Charitable Society be kept from the commencement of the next year, and that the Rev. Messrs Macartney and Hicks be requested to have a suitable book prepared for the purpose. The first burial recorded was on the 4th of January, 1831. However, the exact number of people buried in the burying ground before that will never be known. At a rough estimate it could be guessed that around 3,600 burials could have taken place before 1831. That is if up to 100 people had been buried per year, which was below the average amount of burials taking place throughout the 1830s. The figures shown in the three volumes of the registry books are approximately: Volume 1 1831-1841, 2,640 Volume 2 1841-1864, 5,489 Volume 3 1865-1984, 3,109 Add on the pre-1831 figures and the number of those buried in the New Burying Ground could be as high as 14,000.

  • Irish Protestant Nationalism in the Nineteenth Century
    John W. Boyle IRISH PROTESTANT NATIONALISM IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY W. B. YEATs, during a debate on divorce in the Irish Free State Senate, des­ cribed the Anglo-Irish as "no petty people. We are one of the great stocks of Europe". Brendan Behan, in less lyrical vein, made a character in The Hos­ tage define an Anglo-Irishman as "a protestant on a horse". This paper is concerned with the behaviour of those who chose to dismount from the high horse of Protestant ascendancy during the later nineteenth century. The position of a minority is never entirely easy, but it may be less agonizing-at least in the moral sense-when the minority is striving to assert its rights to equal citizenship than when it is called upon to surrender its privileges. Few of the solid block of Protestants in north-east Ireland had doubts about the choice that should be made. Theirs was a colonial role, and they were determined to maintain it. It was admirably expressed by a speaker at a me.:ting held in the Ulster Hall, Belfast, on the morning of the signing of the Ulster covenant on September 27, 1912. The Re...-erend William McKean, ex-moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, after a reference to the seventeenth-century Ulster plantation, declared: "We have been loyal to the trust reposed in us by the English king and the English people, and have stamped a new type of religious thought and industry on every part of the province that has come under our influence, which is in happy accord with all that is truest and best in the life of the great empire with which we are connected.

  • 'Steadfast Supporters of the British Connection'? Belfast Presbyterians
    ‘Steadfast supporters of the British connection’? Belfast Presbyterians and the Act of Union, c. 1798 – 1840 Jonathan Wright ‘Ever since the passing of the Act of Union, they have been the steadfast supporters of the British connection’: so wrote the Presbyterian minister and ecclesiastical historian William Dool Killen, of his co-religionists, in the early 1850s.1 Though it reflected an innate political and theological conservatism, Killen’s claim is one that most modern historians would concur with. As the late R. Finlay Holmes, one of Ulster Presbyterianism’s more astute scholars, observed: That many Presbyterians in Ulster were deeply involved in the United Irish movement in the 1790s . and that many of their children and grandchildren became ardent unionists, utterly opposed to any weaken- ing of Ireland’s links with Britain, are incontrovertible facts of Irish history.2 Incontrovertible they may be, but they also rank among Irish history’s more inscrutable facts, for the process by which Ulster Presbyterians became unionists is by no means fully understood. While the sectarian atrocities that occurred in Wicklow and Wexford in 1798 and the emergence of an increas- ingly aggressive Catholic political voice under the leadership of Daniel O’Connell have long been recognised as factors that influenced the politi- cal realignment of Ulster’s Presbyterians in the early nineteenth century, it remains the case, as Ian McBride has recently noted, that ‘[l]ittle is known 1 Killen’s comments can be found in the third volume of James Seaton Reid’s epic History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Reid died before finishing the final volume of his work and Killen was appointed to complete it.

The ship had been built for a group of Presbyterian the New World. McGregor and many of those who travelled with him settled in ministers in Ulster who wanted to emigrate to New England where they hoped to New Hampshire, founding a town they renamed Londonderry.
