Finding Irish Parish Records Using Fianna Information by Joe Petrie
Finding Irish Parish Records using Fianna Information By Joe Petrie My Patrick Tobin family (Patrick, Judith Keefe, and their 3 sons) relocated to Northern Bay, Newfoundland from Gowran, Kilkenny, Ireland in very early in the 1800s. One of Patrick and Judith’s grandsons, Richard Tobin (my great grandfather) married Honorah Catherine (Nora) Dooley of North Sydney in November 1869 in St. Joseph’s. Richard and Nora initially settled in Channel, Newfoundland where they had their first 2 children (of 8): WIlliam Richard (my grandfather) and Mary Elizabeth (who was Sister Loretta of the Sisters of Charity of Halifax). The other 6 children were born in North Sydney. Many years ago, I decided to find and research Kilkenney RC Parish records at the local Mormon Church Family History Center’s Library (FHL) – principally to see whether I could find any other related Tobin family lines. (I kept hearing oral histories that indicated that five Tobin brothers relocated to Newfoundland and Canada at the same time.) The task was easier said than done. Why? First, because Gowran Parish Registers started after my Tobin family moved to Newfoundland, they were not in the Parish Registers. Second, Tobin was fairly common surname in Kilkenney. For example, the Tithe Applotment books list 170 records for Tobin. In fact, James Tobin was the only Gowran name – but there’s no proof that James and my ancestor Patrick were related. Using the Fianna Information, the same task would be easier and probably accomplished in a few hours. To help users, the Fianna information is available by County.

THE APPEAL 1.1 By Notice of Appeal received on the 13th day of October, 2017 the Appellant appealed against the determination of the Respondent pursuant to which the net annual value ‘(the NAV’) of the above relevant Property was fixed in the sum of €6,540. 1.2 The sole ground of appeal as set out in the Notice of Appeal is that the determination of the valuation of the Property is not a determination that accords with that required to be achieved by section 19 (5) of the Act because : “Rentable value is incorrect, also square footage is incorrect.” 1 1.3 The Appellant considers that the valuation of the Property ought to have been determined in a sum between €350 and €550. 2. REVALUATION HISTORY 2.1 On the 11th day of May, 2017 a copy of a Valuation certificate proposed to be issued under section 24(1) of the Valuation Act 2001 (“the Act”) in relation to the Property was sent to the Appellant indicating a valuation of €6,450. 2.2 Being dissatisfied with the valuation proposed, representations were made to the valuation manager in relation to the valuation.

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
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.

The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

THOMAS TREACY, 30. Dean Street. Ki1keny, Brigade O/C Kilkenny Brigade I.R.A. In August 1951 I prepared a statement for the Bureau of Military History of the history of the Irish Volunteers in Kilkenny from the time of their formation in March l9l4 up to and immediately after the time of the Rising in April 1916. In this present statement I propose to give, as far as I can now recollect, the story of the Volunteer movement in Kilkenny City and County from the period following the Rising to the time of my last arrest and internment in November 1920, together with my experiences as Vice Commandant and Acting Commandant of the prisoners in Ballykinlar Internment Camp during the year 1921. As mentioned in my previous statement (l9l4-l9l6) there were approximately 120 members of the Irish Volunteers in the City and County of Kilkenny in 1916. Thirty-one of these, including myself, were arrested immediately after the Rising and interned in jails and internment camps in England. All these prisoners were released by August of 1916. I don't know the number of members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood that were in Kilkenny City and County at that time as I was not a member of that organisation, but I would say that after deducting the number of I.R.B.
