When it ceased to be a church in 1883, it was in a reasonable state of repair, and was later converted for use as the Parochial Hall, and to become affectionately known as Culleen Hall. The church for KHmaine Parish was located at Corroy Ballymurry, and was a very old building, with a thatched roof, believed to go back to early Christian times. It is-also believed, according to local tradition, that it was never officially closed as a place of worship by the Authorities, and was largely ignored by them, because the building did not look like a church, it having the appearance of a large thatched house with small square windows. By the 1870s it was certainly in need of major repair work. In the mid 1870s the decision was made to erect a new church to be centrally located. An excellent site was generously given by Lord Crofton of Mote Park at the south edge of the village of Knockcroghery, at the nominal rent of one shilling (5p.) per year. Work commenced in 1879 by the then Parish Priest Rev. P.H. Kelly, who in 1881 was made Parish Priest of Cootehall. The building was continued by the new Pastor, Rev. Hugh F. Gately P.P. Many years later Fr. Gately was transferred to the Parish of Strokestown, where he would serve for the rest of his life. The builder was Mr. Thomas Gillooly of Roscommon.

  • Origins in Roscommon County, Ireland
    County Roscommon, Ireland (Topographical Dictionary of Ireland - Samuel Lewis, London, 1837) William Manion #2 was our ancestor who came to America from Ireland. His father, William Mannion #1, died in Ireland. His mother, Catherine (Hanley) Mannion, remarried John Coffay in Ireland and had more children. William Manion #2 and his Coffay family emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland in 1853. They came from County Roscommon, Ireland. The Roman Catholic parish registers of Strokestown and Roscommon & Kilteevan contain records for these people that correspond with church and civil records in Baltimore, Maryland. Cloontimullan Some of the records name the townland, Cloontimullan, as the origin of the Mannion/Manion & Coffay families. Cloontimullan (aka Cloontymullan) is in the Roman Catholic parish of Roscommon & Kilteevan, in County Roscommon. http://manionmannioncoffaycoyle.com/ 1 Catherine Hanly(Hanley) and William Mannion #1 William Manion #2 refers to our ancestor who came to Baltimore, Maryland from Ireland. William Mannion #1 refers to his father, who probably died in Ireland. William Manion #2 emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, USA, with his mother and siblings in 1853. He was born in Cloontimullan, County Roscommon, Ireland in 1837. He died in Baltimore, Maryland in June 1916. His Maryland death certificate gives his parents’ names as William Mannion & Catherine Hanley. That information made it possible to trace his origins to a place called Cloontimullan (aka Cloontymullan) in Kilteevan Parish, County Roscommon, Ireland. The Tithe Applotment Books The Tithe Applotment Books were surveys of landholders in Ireland between 1823 and 1837 who paid a tithe (tax) to the Church of Ireland (Anglican). In 1833, the Tithe Applotment Books of Ireland listed Will Mannion #1 as a landholder in Cloontymullan (aka Cloontimullan & Cloontymullen).

It also takes into account on-street consultations and the input of service providers across sports, health, arts, culture, community and local government – all of whom have responsibility for the wellbeing of the people of Roscommon. The Healthy Roscommon Plan reviews the national framework and then identifies the key objectives from a Roscommon perspective. These strategic objectives will form the framework for further improving the health and wellbeing of Roscommon’s people. The Objectives of this plan are to: 1. Reduce isolation 2. Provide activities accessible to all 3. Help people become motivated to participate 4. Get families active together 5. Share information among service providers We look forward, through the Health and Wellbeing Sub-Committee to working on actions together to deliver- ing on the vision for Roscommon’s Health and Wellbeing.

  • 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.

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.

For more information, please see the item record link above. The Place-Names of Co. Roscommon Liam Ó hAisibéil Introduction Roscommon is one of five counties comprising the province of Connacht, bounded to the west by the counties of Galway and Mayo, by Sligo and Leitrim at all points to the north, and by Leitrim, Longford, Westmeath to the east, and counties Offaly and Galway to the south. Around two thirds of the boundaries of Roscommon are defined by two significant rivers, namely the River Shannon to the east, and the River Suck which forms the southern and south-western boundaries of the county, formally established in the late-sixteenth century. Extensive tracts of peat, moorland, and areas of upland comprise its western and northern boundaries. Writing in 1832, the topographical writer Isaac Weld, describes the geographical character of the county as follows: ‘The mountains on the borders of Lough Allen, the Curlew mountains in the same district, the great sand- stone ridge of Slievebawn, extending through the baronies of Ballintobber and Roscommon, and Slievealuyn in the west, afford sure indications that the surface of the county is not devoid of inequality and variety.
