Irish Vertical File BRITISH COLUMBIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY IRISH VERTICAL LIBRARY INDEX OF FOLDERS Prepared by Eunice Robinson Coordinator, Irish Interest Group [email protected] Created November 5, 2020 BCGS/IREINDEX/31December2020er/1 BRITISH COLUMBIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY IRISH VERTICAL LIBRARY INDEX OF FOLDERS TYPES OF INFORMATION CONTAINED Anything of interest and Irish is added to the collection. There may be photocopies of parish records, maps, copies of Griffith’s Valuation, census, tombstone records, lists of Irish books, and how-to articles. New additions are welcomed and appreciated. THE INDEX The Index is arranged numerically, however, within the first 47 folders, alphabetically by County. As new folders are required, these are added to the end of the list. The next part is the indexing of the items held in the individual folders. As new information is added to a folder, it is also added to the folder index sheet. If there is too much for one folder, then there will be a second folder. At the top of this folder index sheet is the County and the folder number for easy location of the folder in the file cabinet drawers. Some of the entries may have Dewey Decimal numbers next to them. This will indicate information was found in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City or any other library using the Dewey Decimal system. If the item was located under a Library of Congress number, that will be given as well. Next to each entry is a two-letter code. This indicates what kind of information the record is: PR Parish Register PU Publication or Journal BO Book MA Map AR Article GR Griffith’s Valuation EI Emigration List CE Census MI Microform (fiche or film) MI Monumental Inscriptions NE Newspaper EX Extract from Source/Portion of Whole LS Lists MA Magazines IN Information Sheet/Advertising LT Letter/Correspondence BR Brochure PH Photographs/Postcards The third column contains a brief description of the indexed items. BCGS/IREINDEX/31December2020er/2 The Vertical Folder Library is for members of the British Columbia Genealogical Society who have Irish roots. The purpose is to gather as much information as possible on a specific Irish county, Irish topic or Irish records collection gathered into a folder and indexed. Researchers may write to the Coordinator at the Society’s address, or email to [email protected] – a copy will be scanned and emailed to you. The Index is located on the BCGS website for reference. The collection is located in the Library. This Index has been compiled using Microsoft Word for Windows 2010.

    The Place-Names of County Kilkenny Acknowledgement The Kilkenny Archaeological Society is grateful to Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly for permission to re-issue this book. Notice On mature reflection the Commitee of the Society has decided to change the title of Owen O ’Kelly’s book from A History of County Kilkenny to The Place-Names of the County of Kilkenny. The new title is thought more exactly to describe the book. An alphabetical index has been added. Within the new material, Owen O ’Kelly’s book is reproduced complete and unaltered. The map on the cover (also reproduced inside) is made from a Grand Jury map. The Grand Juries were the forerunners of the County Councils. They commissioned maps which are now extremely rare. The Grand Jury maps predate the first edition of the Ordnance Survey maps and are of great interest because of the different spellings of place names. Thus they can be used to locate changes that have occurred. The Place-Names of the COUNTY of KILKENNY The Kilkenny Archaeological Society Rothe House K ilk en n y © The Kilkenny Archaeological Society and Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly, 1985. ISBN 0 9501687 8 5 Printed by BOETHIUS PRESS Kilkenny FOREWORD The publication of my late husband’s history of the place-names of Kilkenny is a re-issue of a work that was originally published in 1969 but has long since gone out of print and is very difficult to obtain. Many years of painstaking research and dedication went into the compilation of the original. But the task was of compelling interest to him and he would have been deeply gratified and proud that his book on the place-names is being republished by the Kilkenny Archaeological Society.

    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). Spatial Unit Table Name Barony lang51_bar Barony lang61_bar Barony lang71_91_bar County lang01_11_cou Barony geog_id (spatial code book) County county_id (spatial code book) Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891 Baronies are sub-division of counties their administrative boundaries being fixed by the Act 6 Geo. 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. These are : The list of cities and towns is a follows: Dublin City Kilkenny City Drogheda Town* Cork City Limerick City Waterford City Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 2 Belfast Town/City (Co.
