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.

Denis Dowling was born in Ireland possibly about 1808. The Tithe Applotment Books are a vital source for genealogical research for the pre-Famine period, given the loss of the 1821-51 Census records. They were compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings over one acre should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland (the main Protestant church and the church established by the State until its dis- establishment in 1871). Denis married Bridget Fitzgerald. Bridget was born in Ireland. Denis and Bridget had the following children: (safe to assume that this list is incomplete) + 2 M i. Andrew Dowling was born in Apr 1828. He died on 2 Aug 1904. + 3 F ii. Catherine "Kate" Dowling Morrissey was born in 1839. She died on 4 Aug 1908. 4 F iii.

This town, in 1831, contained 211 3 August 2013 Descendants of Denis Dowling Page 1 houses, which are in general indifferently built and of neglected appearance; the streets are ill paved, and the place has few indications of prosperity. There are an extensive brewery and a boulting-mill. Errill (Eiréil) is a village in southwest County Laois, Ireland, near the North Tipperary and County Kilkenny borders. It is centered on a village green around which sit two local shops; one of which contains the local post office, and two pubs.

Below are the names of the voters of this town who are registered. If your name is not on the list, it must be put on to-morrow or you can't vote: DISTRICT 2 ...Andrew Dowling, Andrew Dowling jr.,...Andrew Morrissey, Joseph Morrissey, John Morrissey... 10 Aug 1904- Andrew Dowling died at his home in Livonia Tuesday evening of last week, at the age of 75 years.

She was born in Queens county, Ireland, and immigrated with her husband to this town, where she has since resided; being, also, one of the first members of St. Michael's church, which society by her death loses a charitable and fervent member. Mrs. Dowling was held in the highest esteem by all acquaintances, but only to her most intimate friends was her true Christian character known, her kind, charitable word and deed having endeared her to them. None, who came for food, were turned away hungry. While her left hand fed them, her right gave gave to the motherless and needy. Ever solicitous for the welfare of her family, she considered no sacrifice too great which would add to their comfort, and they now mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent wife and mother. This once happy home is saddened by her vacant chair, but around which still lingers the influence of a worthy life. Besides her husband she is survived by three sons and six daughters, and a host of sympathizing friends. The floral offerings were many and appropriate. The funeral, which was held from St. Michaels church on the Wednesday succeeding her death, was largely attended by friends who came to pay their last respects to the dear departed. Andrew and Judith had the following children: + 5 F i. Mary Dowling Smith was born on 20 Feb 1863. She died on 16 Mar 1942. 6 F ii.

He was terribly mangled and died instantly. He was 24 years of age and had been in the employ of the company for several months. The remains were brought here Monday, and the funeral, which was held on the day following, was very largely attended.

Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

  • Castletown List 55
    National Library of Ireland Collection List No. 55 Lord Castletown Papers (Mss 35,295-332) (Accession 2503) Compiled by Mary Colley, 2000 The papers of Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, consisting of correspondence and papers mainly relating to his literary and cultural activities and his political involvements. There is also a relatively small amount of material relating to the management of his estates. Introduction The Lord Castletown Papers were mainly generated by Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, who was descended from a branch of the illustrious family of Mac Giolla Phádraig. In Gaelic times this branch of the FitzPatricks ruled the area of the present counties Laois and Kilkenny, successive heads of the family being styled chiefs or lords of Upper Ossory. The chiefs were generally politically adroit, and managed to retain their extensive estates even in the most adverse circumstances. For instance, in the reign of Henry VIII, Barnaby (or Bryan) FitzPatrick made a timely submission, whereupon he had his estates re-granted and was subsequently created Baron of Upper Ossory, a title that remained in the family for a century and a half. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, heads of the family were again ennobled and held the titles Baron Gowran and Earl of Upper Ossory. Following a break in the succession, in 1869 John Wilson FitzPatrick was created 1st Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory. On his death in 1883, his only son, Bernard, succeeded to the title as 2nd Lord Castletown, and inherited the extensive family estate based on Granston Manor in Queen's County, the present Co.

  • To Plant and Improve: Justifying the Consolidation of Tudor and Stuart Rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625
    To Plant and Improve: Justifying the Consolidation of Tudor and Stuart Rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625 Samantha Watson A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Languages Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences September 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Watson First name: Samantha Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Humanities and Languages Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: To plant and improve: justifying the consolidation of Tudor and Stuart rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis aims to examine the ideologies employed in justifying English conquest and plantation of Ireland between 1509 and 1625. It adopts the methodology of a contextualist intellectual history, which situates the sources within the intellectual and material world, and in relation to the publically approved paradigms, available to the authors. The thesis encompasses a range of source material - correspondence, policy papers and published tracts - from major and minor figures in government and undertakers of colonisation schemes. The source material will be examined with respect to the major upheavals in intellectual culture in late medieval and early modern England and, in particular, the impact of major pan- European movements, the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance. Focussing on the ethics associated with the spread of Renaissance humanism and Calvinist Protestantism, it explores socio-political ideas in England and examines the ways that these ideas were expressed in relation to Ireland.

  • This Week in Saratoga County History
    This Week in Saratoga County History - The Death of John Morrissey Submitted by Charlie Kuenzel May 7, 2020 Charlie Kuenzel taught at Saratoga High School for 36 years and was co-owner of Saratoga Tours LLC for 19 years. Author, lecturer and currently President of Saratoga Springs History Museum, Charlie loves Saratoga History and can be reached at [email protected] During the 1800’s, Saratoga Springs became the number one tourist destination for summer visitors in the United States. Although the reputation of Saratoga Springs was originally built on health practices using the many mineral springs, it was further enhanced with the addition of thoroughbred horse racing and casino gambling. The one single person responsible for the introduction of those new activities was John Morrissey. May 1st each year is the anniversary of his death in Saratoga history. Morrissey was born in Ireland in 1831 and at about age 2 the family moved to Troy N.Y. Morrissey went to work at the age of 12, being employed at many factories. At 17 he started working on a steamship that made daily runs from Albany to New York City and married the ship captain’s daughter, Sarah Smith in 1849. Together they had one child, a son. The 1849 California Gold Rush lured him to San Francisco in 1851 were he never made any money as a prospector but became a very successful gambler. In 1852 he tried testing his boxing skills and defeated George Thompson in California for a $5,000 prize. Morrissey then returned to New York to schedule a fight with Yankee Sullivan and at one time was World Heavyweight Champ.

  • Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James
    The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................................

Pindar , in 474 BC , celebrated Diagoras ’ victory in the Greek Olympiad: “But do thou, O father Zeus, that rulest over the height of Atabyrium, grant honour to the hymn ordained in praise of an Olympian victor, and to the hero who hath found fame for his prowess as a boxer; and do though give him grace and reverence in the eyes of citizens and of strangers too. For he goeth in a straight course along a path that hateth insolence.” Worthy of Zeus’ blessing, the successful boxer was a man of moral as well as physical excel- lence.

This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,704 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 7,813 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with over 100,000 (100,124) households supported to the end of Q4 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.
