It has been accepted for inclusion in BYU Family Historian by an authorized editor of BYU ScholarsArchive. For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. RESEARCHING HUGUENOT SETTLERS IN IRELAND1 VIVIEN COSTELLO PREAMBLE This study is a genealogical research guide to French Protestant refugee settlers in Ireland, c. 1660–1760. It reassesses Irish Huguenot settlements in the light of new findings and provides a background historical framework. A comprehensive select bibliography is included. While there is no formal listing of manuscript sources, many key documents are cited in the footnotes. This work covers only French Huguenots; other Protestant Stranger immigrant groups, such as German Palatines and the Swiss watchmakers of New Geneva, are not featured. INTRODUCTION Protestantism in France2 In mainland Europe during the early sixteenth century, theologians such as Martin Luther and John Calvin called for an end to the many forms of corruption that had developed within the Roman Catholic Church. When their demands were ignored, they and their followers ceased to accept the authority of the Pope and set up independent Protestant churches instead. Bitter religious strife throughout much of Europe ensued. In France, a Catholic-versus-Protestant civil war was waged intermittently throughout the second half of the sixteenth century, followed by ever-increasing curbs on Protestant civil and religious liberties.3 The majority of French Protestants, nicknamed Huguenots,4 were followers of Calvin.

I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO FAITH AND JACK AND MY NLECES AND NEPHEWS. n FOREWORD. 3T was suggested to me by my cousin, Alfred Ransford of Hunstanton, that being a native of Stratford-on-Avon, baptized there in the historic Church of Holy Trinity (Register Certificate No. 70;\ Page 89), and the grand-daughter of a Rainsford of the Clifford Chambers line, I should compile into a little book some of his genealogical notes relating to the family, which he has collected over a period of thirty years, in­ spired and assisted by a kinsman, the late Frederick Vine Rainsford, who began turning over Wills and docu-· ments at the age of eighteen, and devoted a great part of sixty years to research work. This volume is a brief outline of a typical English family, living in the beautiful homes of our Empire, yet facing the vicissitudes oflife, with its struggles and successes; amidst the hardships and dra\vbacks of a much less advanced civilization ; who, like numerous others, in response to the call of King and Country, have been leaders of men, in the Church and Services, in the legal and

  • The Mansion House
    History of the Mansion House Welcome to the Mansion House – the official residence of Dublin’s first citizen, the Lord Mayor, and one of our cities finest and most loved buildings. Elegantly crafted and beautifully decorated, it tells a powerful story of history and tradition, of respect and honour, of courage and affection. Mansion House 1910 Mansion House Today A Masterpiece in the Making The Mansion House has been at the heart of city government since 1715. Construction started in 1705 and it was intended as a townhouse for Joshua Dawson, the developer of Dawson Street and Nassau Street. Joshua Dawson seldom lived in the house. Ten years later and still partly unfinished, it was sold to Dublin Corporation for £3,500 (€4,444), in addition to an annual rent of 40 shillings and an agreement to provide a loaf of double refined sugar, weighing six pounds at Christmas. The Mansion House is remarkable for many reasons: It is the only mayoral residence in Ireland which is still used for its original purpose It is the oldest Mayoral residence in Ireland and in Britain (Dublin preceded London by 15 years in providing an official house for its mayor) It is the oldest free-standing house in Dublin The first Dáil met in the Mansion House Round Room in 1919 and cabinet meetings of that Dáil were held in the Mansion House. Joshua Dawson Joshua Dawson was a member of the Guild of Merchants and was admitted to the freedom of Dublin in Christmas 1702. His family came from Co. Derry and he later helped develop the village of Castledawson, Co.

We continue to emphasise the broader diplomatic function that art can play by selecting works that link Britain with the rest of the world in embassies and diplomatic buildings abroad, which this year included Copenhagen, Cairo and Moscow. Acquisitions Outset/Government Art Collection Fund This year saw the establishment of a new partnership, the Outset/ Government Art Collection Fund. Founded in 2003, Outset is an independent international organisation that supports new art within the public arena through private funding. The aim of the Fund is to add 12 important new works of art to the Collection over three years. The first work given to the GAC as a result of the Fund was a large-scale photograph by Isaac Julien, followed by an acrylic painting on vintage textile by Shezad Dawood. Aside from the Outset/GAC Fund acquisitions, other new works were acquired, including an abstract painting by the late Jon Thompson, an oil painting by Dexter Dalwood and a portfolio of 20 prints including Gillian Ayres, Gordon Cheung and Howard Hodgkin. We also purchased a rare historical portrait of King Henry VIII by an Unknown 16th-Century Anglo-Flemish artist.

  • 9 the Shaping of Dublin Government in the Long Eighteenth Century
    9 The Shaping of Dublin Government in the Long Eighteenth Century J.R. HILL THE GOVERNMENT OF EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY DUBLIN was shaped by a variety of forces, but principally by the fortunes of Dublin corporation, which throughout the period in question controlled the bulk of the Irish capital’s built-up area. In the hope of imposing some order on what is a complex subject, this chapter will con- sider three of the main influences on the corporation which affected its governing capacity: the legacy of the Williamite revolution; civic finances; and the confessional state. I The departure of James II from Ireland following the battle of the Boyne in July 1690 brought to an end the attempts of Restoration governments to put their own stamp on urban corporations. Just as in England, the manipulation of town charters by Charles II and James II had the effect—after the Revolution—of discrediting such interven- tion by the Crown. Dublin’s Jacobite charter of 1687 had introduced some sweeping reforms, most strikingly a 50 per cent cut in the membership of the corporation’s lower house, or city commons; but the new charter was declared illegal by one of the first acts of William and Mary’s English parliament, and the experiment lapsed following the exodus of the Jacobite court from Dublin.1 The upshot was that apart from some lim- ited initiatives (to be considered below) no thorough-going reform of the corporation would take place for a hundred and fifty years after the Revolution. There was one sig- nificant carryover from the Restoration era: the ‘New Rules’ regulating Irish municipal corporations, introduced by the earl of Essex as viceroy in 1672, remained in force.
