My “Brick Wall”
My “Brick Wall” The search for my paternal great, great grandfather “William Flack, a Soldier”. By Dr Edmund (known as “Ted”) Flack. BEc., PhD., JP (Qual) My “Brick Wall” in the search for my paternal great great grandfather. In this report I set out the evidence gathered over the last 20 years in my search to identify my great great grandfather, William Flack, the father of Captain William “Billy” Flack. First, I reproduce a paternal pedigree showing my relationship with Billy Flack and his relationship with his father William Flack, and his mother, Elizabeth Flack, born about 1790 in Ireland. A separate report on the life of Captain William Flack born 1 April 1810 is available. For the purpose of clarity, I will refer to my Great Grandfather, Captain William Flack as “Billy”. 1 What do we know about Billy Flack’s parents? There are three pieces of documentary evidence that provide the basis for the search as follows: 1. The first is Billy Flack’s original enlistment documents created when he enlisted in the 63rd Regiment of Foot in Bailieborough, County Cavan, Ireland on 17th February 1831. In that document it records 782 Pte William Flack as 21 years old, born in “the Parish of Killan in or near the town of Balyburrow in the County of Cavan”. Note 1. It will noted that Billy Flack signed the document with his “X” mark, indicating that he could probably not read or write and that therefore the recruiting sergeant probably filled in the details by recording Billy Flack’s verbal answers to this questions about age and place of birth. -
Helens Tower Sleeps 2 - Clandeboye Estate, Bangor, Co Down
Helens Tower Sleeps 2 - Clandeboye Estate, Bangor, Co Down. Situation: Presentation: Helen's Tower perched high above the rolling hills of Co Down, is an enchanting three storey stone tower nestled deep in the woods of the Clandeboye Estate. Standing on top of the world with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, one can see as far as distant Scottish shores from the top of Helen's Tower. La Tour d’Hélène perchée au-dessus des collines de Co Down, est une charmante tours en pierre à trois étages, niché dans les bois du domaine de Clandeboye. Elle est niché sur le toit du monde avec une vue panoramique sur le paysage environnant, on peut voir aussi loin que les rivages écossais à partir du haut de la tour d'Hélène. History: Built in 1848 by Frederick Lord Dufferin, 5th Baron of Dufferin and Ava in honour of his mother Helen Selina Blackwood, Helen's Tower has since been immortalized by Tennyson in the poem of the same name. Designed by architect William Burn and constructed in 1848-1850 as a famine relief project, Helen's Tower helped relieve unemployment at this time. The tower has taken on an unforeseen poignancy, as an almost exact replica of it, the Ulster Tower, was built at Thiepval in 1921 to honour the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division who fell at the Battle of the Somme. Clandeboye Estate was used for army training during the First World War, and the 36th (Ulster) Division trained beside Helen's Tower before leaving for France. -
