  • Documents from the Thomond Papers at Petworth House Archive1 [With Index]
    Luke McInerney Documents from the Thomond Papers at Petworth House Archive1 [with index] The Petworth House Archive (PHA) is an important and under-exploited repository for research into seventeenth and eighteenth-century Co. Clare. Petworth House, the historic seat of the earls of Egremont, holds primary source material relating to the estates of the earls of Thomond in North Munster, chiefly for Co. Clare but also Co. Limerick and Co. Tipperary. The material preserved at Petworth contains a range of material includ- ing estate management documentation, correspondence, accounts, legal papers, military, parliamentary papers, family history, maps and surveys.2 Only a small proportion of the tens of thousands of documents in the archive relate to the earls of Thomond’s Irish estates and the surviving ‘Thomond papers’ probably represent only a fraction of the original col- lection, loss and damage having taken its toll. Not all of the Thomond material is listed in the current Petworth catalogue; a large portion of the material is still available only in an unpublished early nineteenth-century manuscript catalogue. For historians of Gaelic Ireland the Thomond papers are notewor- thy as they contain detail on landholding at different social levels; key legal instruments such as inquisitions post mortem of Connor O’Brien (1581) third earl of Thomond, and Donough O’Brien (1624) fourth earl of Thomond, are preserved in the archive, along with petitions and leases of Gaelic freeholders. Freeholders of sept-lineages petitioned for restoration of their lands as they were increasingly disenfranchised in the new land- holding matrix of seventeenth century Co.

  • George O'brien Is Said to Have Been Born at Dromoland Castle, County
    George O'Brien is said to have been born at Dromoland Castle, County Clare, Ireland, and was baptised in the parish of Kilnasoolagh (Newmarket-on-Fergus) on 16 September 1821. He was the fifth son of nine children of Captain (later Rear Admiral) Robert O'Brien and his wife, Anne O'Brien, who were first cousins. O'Brien's schooling and early career remain obscure. There is an unsubstantiated report of study in Germany; the belief that he was educated at Rugby and Oxford has been disproved. The titles of some of his pictures imply travel in England and Egypt, but there is no confirmation of this. In 1850 the arrival in Melbourne of an unassisted immigrant, G. O'Brien, on the Midlothian, is recorded. A year later a G. O'Brien was appointed a draughtsman in the surveyor general's office, and from that time the record of his life is more certain. On 23 February 1853 he married Jane Mashford at St James's Church, Melbourne, Australia. Although the births of only six children are recorded, family tradition claims there were seven children. He was practising as an architect between 1854 and 1858; he became a committee member of the Victorian Fine Arts Society in 1853, and an exhibitor of paintings in Melbourne from 1853 to 1858. Although the date of O'Brien's departure for New Zealand is unknown, watercolours of Australian subjects imply that he was still living in Melbourne in 1863. O'Brien's name first appears on the Dunedin ratepayers' roll on 3 December 1863; he lived in Dunedin until his death.

  • 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.

  • The 1626 Rental of Thomond Property by Martin Breen
    North Munster Antiquarian Journal vol. 54, 2014 1 The 1626 Rental of Thomond Property MARTIN BREEN A 1626 document listing the rents due to the 5th Earl of Thomond (1589- 1639) is transcribed and published for the first time. It sheds valuable light on the Anglicisation process in the early seventeenth century and in par- ticular helps in understanding the process of transition of Thomond from a Gaelic lordship to an increasingly anglicised county under the stewardship of the Earls of Thomond.* Introduction A document titled: ‘An abstract Of Such Rents and Revenewes as doe belonge to the right Hon:ble. Henrye Earle of Thomond’, dated 1626, can be found at Petworth House Archives, West Sussex, filed as manuscript C27A/39.1 Petworth House is the seat of the Earl of Egremont and the Thomond material deposited there most likely owes its origin to Barnabas O’Brien, sixth Earl of Thomond, who left Bunratty Castle, Co. Clare, in 1646 and settled at Great Billing in Northamptonshire, an estate which he had acquired in 1628.2 Barnabas’s son Henry succeeded in 1657 as seventh earl, inheriting his father’s Irish estate in Thomond which by 1665 amounted to 85,000 acres in County Clare.3 Barnabas’s grandson, also Henry O’Brien, eighth Earl of Thomond, continued to live at Great Billing and died without issue in 1741. The Thomond estates then passed to Percy Wyndham, a nephew of the latter Henry O’Brien’s wife, Elizabeth Seymour.4 The title, Earl of Thomond (of the 2nd creation), became extinct in 1774 on Percy’s death, and, as he also died without an heir, his nephew George Wyndham, third Earl of Egremont,5 succeeded to the estates.

  • Survey of the Mcinerney Sept of Thomond (Download PDF)
    SURVEY OF THE McINERNEY SEPT OF THOMOND Luke McInerney, M.A. This survey gives an historical account of the McInerney sept of Clann Chuiléin, the eastern division of County Clare. The survey investigates the genealogical origins of the McInerneys in twelfth century Thomond as an offshoot of the ruling McNamaras. The origins of the McInerneys as an airchinneach family of east Clare is explored and the survey looks at the history of the sept up to the confiscation of the sept’s lands in the mid-seventeenth century and their scattering into Limerick and Tipperary during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The survey attempts to give an overview of the McInerney family of Thomond and to redress the silence in many histories of County Clare about the family and its origins. It is a curious tenet of history that the McInerneys were almost totally dispossessed of their ancient lands, so it is not surprising that they escaped the historian’s pen. I intend for this survey to shed light on their history both before and after the collapse of the Gaelic order. Research indicates that the McInerneys – Clann an Oirchinnigh – of Thomond have been associated with their powerful overlords, the McNamaras (Mac Con Mara), since the twelfth century. It was from the main dynastic branch of the McNamaras that the progenitor of the McInerney sept, Donnchadha Mac Con Mara, originated. As a junior sept – or sliocht – the McInerneys retained an important position at the local level within the McNamara polity of Clann Chuiléin and their role as minor gentry found them scribed alongside the powerful Dromoland O’Briens in land and rental documents beyond the collapse of the Gaelic order into the eighteenth century.

  • Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    National Archives Church of Ireland Parish Registers MICROFILMS This listing of Church of Ireland parochial registers covers all those parishes for which microfilms of registers (then kept in original custody) exist. In many instances the original parochial registers may now be with the Representative Church Body Library in Braemor Park, Churchtown, Dublin 14 – http://www.ireland.anglican.org/. Filming was carried out in the 1950s and again in the 1980s by staff of the Public Record Office of Ireland. This systematic programme of microfilming Church of Ireland registers was undertaken to make parochial registers more accessible to the general research public. The most comprehensive filming was undertaken in the eastern part of the country. In the Reading Room of the National Archives there is a card index detailing all filmed parish registers and records detailing nature of record, covering dates and acquisition number (this covers the 1950s filming only). For the 1980s filming there are bound finding aids for the Diocese of Dublin, Ferns, Kildare and Meath in the Reading Room. These films cover parish registers as well as other classes of material found in registers. However, more modern records were not covered by the filming projects. The cut-off date of the films has always been c.1870 (ie the Disestablishment of the Church of Ireland) as records post-1870 are not covered by the Public Record Office of Ireland or National Archives of Ireland legislation though there are some instances of filming carrying on beyond 1870. The Microfilm List included here is a guide to microfilm reference numbers only and is no guide to content.

  • The West Clann Chuiléin Lordship in 1586: Evidence from a Forgotten Inquisition
    N.M.A.J. vol. 48, 2008 33 The West Clann Chuiléin Lordship in 1586: Evidence from a Forgotten Inquisition LUKE McINERNEY An unpublished inquisition of the Court of Exchequer is used to shed new light on the inner workings of a sixteenth-century Gaelic lordship prior to the collapse of the Gaelic system. As a contemporary recording of native political organisation it provides valuable evidence on social hierarchies, economic organisation and place-names. A remarkable inquisition of the Court of the Exchequer held at Galway and dated 27 January 1585 (recte1586) has come down to us in transcribed form by the early twentieth century antiquarian Robert William (R.W) Twigge1 and is collated amongst various documents in his unfinished work, Materials for a History of Clann-Cuilein.2 R.W Twigge was one of several antiquaries whose interest centered on County Clare and who published articles of historical and genealogical interest.3 His contemporaries included George Unthank Macnamara who collaborated with R.W Twigge in his unpublished work Materials for a History of Clann-Cuilein4 and the prolific antiquary, George Thomas Westropp. R.W. Twigge transcribed this inquisition because of its relevance to the McNamara (Mac Conmara) family and its connection with the history of Clann Chuiléin. The majority of inquisition material that has survived for sixteenth and seventeenth century County Clare is due to the efforts of James Frost who published, in abstract form, 218 inquisition post mortem cases in his 1893 A History and Topography of the County of Clare, before they were destroyed in 1922.5 James Frost did not copy the 1586 inquisition document and so its unlikely survival can be credited to R.W.
