I was born in Drumraney and was educated at the local school there. There was nothing taught in school then that would serve as a foundation or build-up in young boys any deep sense of patriotism. father had been in Australia and there he had come in contact with many of the men who had been deported or had to leave Ireland because they loved it too well, according to English standards When we were children, he regularly discussed Irish History with us and enlightened us on the many crimes and wrongs perpetrated on our country by the English invader, and he often sang traditional folk songs for us. Thus we grew up in an atmosphere in which there was a love for everything Irish and with a great desire to see the country independent and in commandof her own destiny. I think my father was a Fenian. I had read and studied books such as "The Jail Journal" and "The last Conquest". In 1907 I became a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Peter Malinn was organising the I.R.B. in County Westmeath at this time and later on w brother John continued to push the.

Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY MR. SETMUS QIMARA 50 Connaught St. Athlone, Co. Westmeath. I was born at Connaught St., Athlone, and went to Deerpark National Schools. In July 1912, I was sent to Drogheda to serve my time to the victualling business. I joined the Irish Volunteers in Drogheda in l914, I cannot remember now who was in charge of the Volunteers there, but I was not very long a member when I was ordered by my boss to give up my membership and I had to do so. When you are apprenticed to a business you sign a certain undertaking or contract and you are bound by the articles contained in this contract, so I had no option but to obey his orders. As far as I know, at the time of the split in the Volunteers almost all of the members of that body gave their allegiance to the National or Redmond Volunteers in Drogheda and the Irish Volunteers ceased to exist. However, the Irish Volunteers were again. reorganised in Drogheda about September 1915, and, as I was now out of my apprenticeship, I joined this organisation. There were then about 12 or 14 members and we used to meet at a premises owned by Feely's of James's St.

We will live under no other law” Liam Lynch (1893-1923) To begin our story and to put it in context, we decided to take a short trip through the Ireland of 1912-1922. It is now deemed the “Decade of Centenaries” with a long list of events to commemorate and remember. However, back then, it was a period of riotous change best typified by the loss of close to five hundred lives over the five days of the Easter Rising and by countless numbers of brave volunteers in every part of the country.

    Church of Ireland Parish Registers

    National Archives Church of Ireland Parish Registers SURROGATES This listing of Church of Ireland parochial records available in the National Archives is not a list of original parochial returns. Instead it is a list of transcripts, abstracts, and single returns. The Parish Searches consist of thirteen volumes of searches made in Church of Ireland parochial returns (generally baptisms, but sometimes also marriages). The searches were requested in order to ascertain whether the applicant to the Public Record Office of Ireland in the post-1908 period was entitled to an Old Age Pension based on evidence abstracted from the parochial returns then in existence in the Public Record Office of Ireland. Sometimes only one search – against a specific individual – has been recorded from a given parish. Multiple searches against various individuals in city parishes have been recorded in volume 13 and all thirteen volumes are now available for consultation on six microfilms, reference numbers: MFGS 55/1–5 and MFGS 56/1. Many of the surviving transcripts are for one individual only – for example, accessions 999/562 and 999/565 respectively, are certified copy entries in parish registers of baptisms ordered according to address, parish, diocese; or extracts from parish registers for baptismal searches. Many such extracts are for one individual in one parish only. Some of the extracts relate to a specific surname only – for example accession M 474 is a search against the surname ”Seymour” solely (with related names). Many of the transcripts relate to Church of Ireland parochial microfilms – a programme of microfilming which was carried out by the Public Record Office of Ireland in the 1950s.
