    Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí 1384-1534 AD Part II Page 40 Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí 1384-1534 AD Part II by Mike Fitzpatrick ✉ Independent Scholar, Auckland 0604, New Zealand Journal of the Fitzpatrick Clan Society 2020, 1, 40-71 Abstract The starting place for Part II of Mac Giolla Phadraig Osrai: 1384-1534 is Feartach, Cill Chainnigh (Fertagh, Co. Kilkenny) where a previously little knoWn Mac Giolla Phádraig cleric, and unrecognised clan chieftain, was appointed Prior in 1506. There are many mysterious elements of Kilpatrick’s tomb at Gráinseach Feartach (Grangefeartach), which is said to be the final resting place of Brian na Lúireach and his son Seán, and a critical examination of the tomb cannot fail to lead to the inevitable question – is it not they, but others, Who are buried there? In addition to the mysteries of Gráinseach Feartach, this article synthesises numerous entries in the Papal Registers, which provide clear evidence for Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí clerical lines that enjoyed poWer, wealth, and influence, both within and Without the clan. The exploits of the clerics, their relationship to other clan members, and their associations with their neighbours, are presented against the backdrop of the political landscape around Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí country during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The key players from the House of Ormond, and the House of Kildare, and their netWorks With Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí of the era provide neW insights into the clan’s leadership and lineages, which are more complex and extensive than previously understood. A Note on Names, Styles, Edits and Records This article is written in the English language, but the people and places discussed are Irish.

Its objective is to compile a comprehensive database of sites of industrial heritage interest throughout Co Laois using published and other readily available sources. The database thus created is known as LAIAR – LAois Industrial Archaeology Record. Chapter 1 outlines the scope of industrial archaeology and the progress of survey work in Ireland. Chapter 2 presents an overview of the contents of LAIAR. A detailed appraisal of the sources and sampling strategies used in its compilation is given in chapter 3. This database exists in both computer database and hard-copy formats and these are reviewed in detail in the next two chapters. Chapters 6 and 7 outline how LAIAR can be updated and interrogated. Finally, in chapter 8, recommendations are set out for its future development and enhancement. I am extremely grateful to the members of Laois Heritage Forum for their invaluable assistance in the successful completion of this project: Catherine Casey (Laois Heritage Officer), Teddy Fennelly, Camin O’Brien (National Monuments Service), Mary Lalor, and Eric Lewis.

Offaly and Tipperary, Ireland Page 2 of 76 Author: Faye Brereton-Goodwin, Ontario, Canada I was born in Canada, daughter of Albert (Bert) Lionel Brereton and Mabel Doak. Dad’s paternal grandparents, James Westropp Brereton and Ursula Harnett (along with four children) arrived in Canada from Listowel, Ireland in 1878, after the Captain had been appointed a Dominion Commissioner of Police by Queen Victoria. Dad’s maternal grandparents were Dan Martin of Northern Ireland and Julia Crowley, identified as of the Province of Munster, Ireland. My mother’s great grandparents, both the Willis and Doak families, also immigrated to Canada from Northern Ireland. So, it is little wonder that I went in search of my Irish ancestors. As my great-grandfather Captain James W. Brereton kept a diary and there were family tales and newspaper clippings of Brereton and Handford Halls, I became intrigued with my Irish Brereton ancestors at an early age. I began my journey with the Breretons of Cheshire and I continue to be fascinated with this family who travelled the world, were knighted and held positions of power. Also, as with many Landed Gentry families, their sons went into the clergy (some rising to senior positions), became involved in local politics and certainly there were many in the military throughout the centuries.

  • Dowling Family History
    Dowling Family History First Generation The Dowlings and Morrisseys came from Errill and Rathdowney in Queens County Ireland, SW of Dublin. The settlement of Rathdowney has existed since at least the 9th century. The two small cities are just a short distance from each other. In the St Kieran's churchyard of Errill, rest all the old Catholic families of the district, the Dowlings, Campions, Guilfoils, and Connors. The Graveyard contains 18th to 21st century headstones, Celtic crosses and recumbent slabs; mainly upright, some leaning, collapsed or damaged. A large number of small un-inscribed markers are arranged in rows. Dowling and Morrissey headstones can be found here. Denis Dowling is listed in the 1828 Book of tithe Applotment town: Ballyroan Parish: Ballyroan, along with John and Patt Dowlings, too light to read.

    LO. (S+S National University of Ireland St.Patrick's College, Maynooth The Famine Years in Queen's County 1845-1850 By Joan Flynn IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF M.A. DEPARTMENT OF MODERN HISTORY, ST.PATRICK'S COLLEGE, MAYNOOTH HEAD OF DEPARTMENT:Professor R .V .Comerford Supervisor of Research:Dr. R.Gillespie August 1996 Dedicated to the memory of those who lived and died in Queen's county during the Famine. Summary This thesis is a. local study of the nationwide calamity of the Irish famine 1845-1850 and how it effected the county of Queen's. In general it attempts to assess the overall effect of the famine on the population, who was effected and how they were effected. It gives a more in depth analysis of the relief measures that were carried out in the county and the government response to the disaster. The first chapter deals with the county as a whole and it's situation prior to the famine. It looks at the people of the county and the methods by which they supported themselves. They are broadly divided into two groups those who were land owning and those who rented land and worked it in small farm units. Of the later group the labourers who had very little land and who survived solely on the potato were the worst effected by the famine. The consequences for them of the failure of the potato crop were largely disease, death, or emigration. In the second chapter the aim is to assess the measures of relief that were provided by the government.
