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.

0328 Sligo PPN Community and Voluntary College
Submission to: Ireland 2040, The National Planning Framework Submitted by: Community and Voluntary College, Sligo Public Participation Network Date: 28th March 2017 The Community and Voluntary College of the Sligo Public Participation Network (PPN) consists of 303 Community and Voluntary Organisations, representing the needs of hundreds of residents, working to improve the quality of life for people in Sligo. We welcome this opportunity to feed into the Ireland 2040 Plan. It is our vision that by 2040 Sligo will be an enterprising, inclusive, resilient and environmentally sustainable place, which values and celebrates its unique landscape and rich culture and heritage and where the wellbeing of future generations is central to everything we do (Local Community and Economic Plan 2016) To achieve this vision, Sligo is ready to grow, and should be determined as a specific area of investment as part of the 2040 National Spatial Strategy. 1 Sligo Sligo has a population of approximately 65,000 people, as the gateway to the North West it is situated at a strategically important point. It is 2.5 hours from Dublin and 2 hours from both Galway and Derry. Rich in cultural, natural heritage and coastal amenities, home to two third level colleges, a regional hospital, 22 major multi-national employers and a growing tourism industry – Sligo already has the foundations laid for future growth. Like all areas, some people in Sligo have to deal with poverty, disadvantage and social exclusion – these experiences can be linked to unemployment, disability, ethnicity and caring responsibilities amongst other factors. A more inclusive future for Ireland will consider how growth can promote greater equality between all the diverse people who make up our community.

Section 2: Local Context
Section 2: Local Context Section 2: Local Context 2. Local Context 2.1 Setting and Existing Urban Form 2.1.1 Historic & Cultural Development The first recorded reference to Enniscrone dates back to the 11th Century. The parish, known as Kilglass, extended far beyond the boundary of Enniscrone town itself, encompassing much of the surrounding hinterland. This region around Enniscrone was the centre of power of the principal clan from this part of Ireland Cliff Road, 1930 -1950, Enniscrone – the O’Dowd’s. They were a maritime power of considerable ability in the 12th and 13th centuries. Enniscrone displays a host of archaeological remains, which reveals its rich heritage extending from the megalithic age. The oldest recorded artefacts in the area are the scattered ruins of two possible passage tombs, dating from approximately 2500 BC, which are sited on a hill west of the castle. Ancient ring forts, souterrains and stone formations are also evidence of the cultural heritage of Enniscrone and indicate a long settlement history. The ruins of Enniscrone Castle lie in an elevated position to the north east of the town in the open space area known as Castle Field. Enniscrone Castle, also known as Nolan’s Castle, is an example of an early 17th century semi-fortified house. This was built mainly for reasons relating to comfortable living standards, rather than for defence purposes. The western towers survive intact, but two other towers have been destroyed since the last century. Valentines Church, located in close proximity to Enniscrone Castle, is named after Rev. Thomas Valentine, who became rector here in 1712.

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.
