  • DONEGAL, North West Ireland
    DONEGAL, North West Ireland Area Donegal is a traditional Irish area with overwhelming nature, rugged rock formations, everlasting tidal currents, endless beaches and more water than a fisherman could wish for. That is the Donegal region in short. Killybegs, Ballyshanon, Sligo, Bundoran are a few names of villages in this region and can serve as a base location. These villages still breathe the atmosphere of the early days with the old-fashioned shops and pubs where little or nothing has changed in the last 20 years. The villages themselves are picturesque and there is no hurry. Honest and hospitable people and beautiful surroundings make up for an unforgettable journey. If you go into a local pub in the evening you will feel right at home and will be welcomed by the people. This is still the true Irish life. The coast is erratic but the climate is very moderate as temperatures usually don't go below 5ºC. In summer the average is around 22 to 25º C. The only thing that has to be taken into account on occasion is the southwest wind. The Irish themselves call it "weather permitting". There are several possibilities to stay in this region and therefore also to fish. This makes it difficult to choose and to arrange this trip. You can make it as long and as short as you like and the number of participants is not limited to 2 or 4. For example, you can choose to go salmon fishing for 3 days, sea fishing for 1 day in Bundoran, sea fishing for 2 days in Killybegs and maybe another day on the pristine Silver Beach.

  • Language Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891
    Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891). Spatial Unit Table Name Barony lang51_bar Barony lang61_bar Barony lang71_91_bar County lang01_11_cou Barony geog_id (spatial code book) County county_id (spatial code book) Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891 Baronies are sub-division of counties their administrative boundaries being fixed by the Act 6 Geo. 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. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.

  • 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.

Dobhar Réamhrá The townland of Dobhar is situated in the Parish of Gaoth Dobhair, in West Donegal. The name Gaoth Dobhair is made up of two words. The first word Gaoth has several meanings. It relates to wind, and it also means a sea inlet or estuary, this being the case here. The second word Dobhar is a very old Irish word meaning water. The word Dobhar appears in Bun Dobhráin and several placenames in Munster, Dower and Glandore in County Cork, and Éisc an Dobhair in County Kerry. Dwr (Do-wer) is also the word for water in the Welsh language.

This booklet is a pocket guide to some of the interesting and historic places in the town of Killybegs. When you have had a look at these local landmarks, remember you’re only getting started. The town was famously the last port of call for the “Girona”, the most ill-fated ship of the Spanish Armada in 1588. These locations include the registered national monument which incorporates St Catherine’s Church and graveyard, St Catherine’s Well and the ruin of Kit’s Castle. A short distance away is St John’s Church of Ireland, a beautiful building in its own right and a fascinating visit to see the graveyard where there are several WWI burials. Overlooking the town is the factory built by Scot, Alexander Morton, in 1898 to house his Donegal Carpets enterprise, producing beautiful handcrafted floor coverings which today grace such buildings as Buckingham Palace and the White House in Washington. It was also attacked by pirates on at least one occasion and later was a convenient haven for the ships of Dutch corsair, Klaas Campaen, as he awaited a royal pardon before retiring to Holland with his ill-gotten gains.

Donegal estate of the Murray family of Broughton, Wigtownshire, and Cally, Gatehouse-of-Fleet, Kircudbright. Public Record Office of Northern Ireland 2 Crown Copyright 2007 Murray Papers Background The Murray family obtained a Plantation grant of lands in south-west Donegal in 1610, and by 1620 had engrossed most of the baronies of Boylagh and Banagh (minus churchlands) and secured their erection into the two manors of Castlemurray and Ballyweel by royal patent, of which there is an early 17th century transcript among the papers. As Dr Graeme Kirkham remarks, in an article cited at the end of this description of the archive, the estate was situated '... in parcels around Donegal town, Ardara and Killybegs, including large parts of the parishes of Killaghtee, Killymard, Killybegs, Killcar and Inishkeel. ...' Even in the late 18th century, it contained over 40,000 statute acres, with a further 25,000 let to Lord Conyngham - the Conynghams claimed in perpetuity and the Murrays claimed by determinable leases. Part of the archive is taken up with documentation of this and other major lawsuits over title. The outcome of the Conyngham lawsuit is not recorded, but the Conynghams appear to have retained possession of the disputed lands.

PREFACE. 1 HAVE condensed into this little volume a consi- derable part of the local etymologies contained in " The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places." 1 have generally selected those names that are best known through the country, and I have thought it better to arrange them in alpha- betical order. The book has been written in the hope that it may prove useful, and perhaps not uninteresting, to those who are anxious for information on the subject, but who have not the opportunity of perusing the larger volume. Soon after the appearance of "The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places," I received from correspondents in various parts of Ireland communications more or less valuable on the topo- graphy, legends, or antiquities of their respective localities. I take this opportunity of soliciting further information from those who are able to give it, and who are anxious to assist in the advancement of Irish literature. IRISH LOCAL NAMES EXPLATKED. THE PROCESS OF ANGLICISING. 1. Systematic Changes. Irish prommciation preserved. —In anglicising Irish names, the leading general rule is, that the present forms are derived from the ancient Irish, as they were spoken, not as they were written. Those who first committed them to writing, aimed at preserving the original pronunciation, by representing it as nearly as they were able in English letters.

  • Co. Donegal’, UJA 3Rd Series 29, 6–15
    180 2. SUMMARY DESCRIPTIONS OF PASSAGE TOMBS IN COUNTY DONEGAL The sites in the Kilmonaster cemetery, c. 2.5km N of Castlefinn, are described first, followed by the more isolated sites in the county. Of the twelve cemetery sites described by Ó Nualláin (1968b), eight are included here in the order of the letters he assigned to them. One, Croaghan/Glensmoil (Site L), is included among the isolated sites in the county, and three are described in Appendix 1 (Nos. 42, 67 and 68). The isolated passage tombs in the county are arranged in alphabetical order. An asterisk preceding a townland name denotes some uncertainty about the classification. THE KILMONASTER CEMETERY Kilmonaster Middle (Site A). OS 70:14:6 (44.7 5.3). ‘Giant’s Graves’ (applies also to Site D) (1948–54). OD 100–200. H 273 976. This monument consists of a cruciform passage tomb standing close to the western edge of a large mound. The mound has been planted with trees, and its original perimeter is distorted by fences, but it appears to have been round in outline and c. 23m in diameter. It is now c. 1.5m high. A number of kerbstones can be identified, some of quartz. There are a large number of scattered quartz fragments on the surface of the mound. The surviving tomb structure is 7m in overall length, and it is aligned approximately W–E. Little now survives of the passage, which is entered from the W, but it was at least 3m long. The northern transept, at right angles to the inner end of the passage, is 1.1m long and narrows from 1.1m wide at the front to 0.9m at the back.
