  • Ulster-Scots Churches and Graveyards in North Down

    Ulster-Scots Churches and Graveyards in North Down

    Ulster-Scots churches and Graveyards in North Down General History To some degree, every church in the Ards and North Down has an Ulster-Scots story to tell, because for the past 400 years the vast majority of the people who have made up their congregations have been Ulster- Scots. People often think that Ulster-Scots is just a Presbyterian story – in fact there is a Scottish chapter in the story of every denomination. Some of these stories are reflected in the North Down graveyards. A graveyard can be likened to an open air museum of tombstones on which the inscriptions on these memorials provide vital links with the past. Not only do they record dates of death and ages at death, they can also include information on family, relationships, occupations and contributions to society. Within North Down there are two graveyards in particular that give an insight into the Ulster Scots that once lived in the locality located at two pivotal churches in the Borough within Bangor and Holywood. The depth of history is evident. The Ulster-Scots beginnings in North Down The Presbyterian Church has of course been the biggest, and most influential, denomination throughout those four centuries, with Revival in 1625 and congregations being formed long before the official Presbytery of 1642. The famous emigrant ship Eagle Wing was led by four Ulster- Scots Presbyterian ministers (from Bangor, Newtownards, Ballywalter and Killinchy) when she sailed from Groomsport in 1636. Presbyterian Covenanters fleeing from persecution in Scotland in the 1660’s and 1670’s were regularly arrested at Donaghadee.

The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid-night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.
