  • The Lawrences of Lawrencetown
    Farm implements and spinning wheels were common purchases. Pictured is the watercolour Woman and Girl Spinning at an Open Door (1838) by William Evans. Reproductive Loan Fund Lending to the ‘Industrious Poor’ Clans and Surnames Conference, 17 May 2017 What were the Loan Funds • In the period just before the Great Hunger of the 1840s there were more than 300 independent loan funds making small loans available to the Irish poor. • One fifth of the households of Ireland were borrowers from these funds each year, making them one of the most successful microfinance initiatives anywhere in the world. • So what information can be garnered from these funds, why were they established, what can it tell us about Irish life in this era, and what is available for Genealogists? Loan Fund in Ireland • After the famines of the 1820s surplus charitable donations of c. £55,000 were provided to loan associations in the counties worst affected. • Loan funds were independent, charitably-funded organisations lending in their regions. • Loan amounts were from £1 to £10 (average £3), repayable over 20 weeks. • Regulation of many funds, such as it was, from 1837, was through the ‘Loan Fund Board’. • A distinct, unregulated, micro-credit scheme called the ‘Irish Reproductive Loan Fund’ was also established to provide loans to the industrious poor. Roscommon Journal and Western Impartial Reporter, 21 May 1836, advertising their fund. - In 1836, half of the 2,849 borrowers from one Co Mayo fund were small farmers with close to one quarter being weavers & spinners. - While the intent may have been to lend for industry, funds were called upon to meet rent, at high interest rates, and to those had little understanding of money.

  • Herdsmen Around Loughrea in the Late 19Th Century[1]
    A ‘spirit of self-preservation’: herdsmen around Loughrea in the late 19th century [1] Dr John Cunningham Thanks to the spirit of self-preservation, based on the principles of trades unionism for mutual protection, these long-deserving toilers have unaided from any other source succeeded in putting their many grievances in such a manner that the owners of the flocks and herds felt constrained to recognise and atone for in many instances.[2] The above tribute to the Loughrea-based South and East Galway Shepherds’ Association was prompted by the tenth anniversary celebrations of a remarkable organisation, at once the defender of the traditional prerogatives of its members and the vindicator of the legitimacy of their calling. The Loughrea Herds’ League*, as it was generally known, was one of the more durable trade unions in the history of rural Ireland, but it was also a contending party in the land war of the late 19th century. The League first came into public view at an open-air meeting in the village of Bullaun on 8 June 1882. It was an appropriate venue —bullán may be translated from the Irish as ‘bullock’ — a place long associated with pastoral farming, and the centre of an extensive grazing district. The large and representative meeting had been widely-advertised by placard and word-of-mouth all over East Galway, and it succeeded in its purpose, which was to place the nascent League on a regular footing. Given the circumstances of the time, the authorities took a close interest in the proceedings, having been alerted by Oliver Dolphin junior, son of Oliver Dolphin of Turoe House, a grazing farmer of over 1,000 acres in his own right, and the employer of several herdsmen.[3] The gathering at Bullaun was but the biggest in a series of organisational meetings held in the area during May and June 1882.

  • Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; Resources, Borders and Passageways
    Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; resources, borders and passageways A National Heritage Week 2020 Project by the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network Introduction: Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib are all connected with all their waters draining into the Atlantic Ocean. Their origins lie in the surrounding bedrock and the moving ice that dominated the Irish landscape. Today they are landscape icons, angling paradise and drinking water reservoirs but they have also shaped the communities on their shores. This project, the first of the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network, explores the relationships that the people from the local towns and villages have had with these lakes, how they were perceived, how they were used and how they have been embedded in their history. The project consists of a series of short articles on various subjects that were composed by heritage officers of the local community councils and members of the local historical societies. They will dwell on the geological origin of the lakes, evidence of the first people living on their shores, local traditions and historical events and the inspiration that they offered to artists over the years. These articles are collated in this document for online publication on the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark Project website (www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie) as well as on the website of the various heritage societies and initiatives of the local communities. Individual articles – some bilingual as a large part of the area is in the Gaeltacht – will be shared over social media on a daily basis for the duration of National Heritage Week.
