  • Waldron Family History
    WALDRON FAMILY HISTORY by Patrick J. M. Waldron, 55, Ard Coillte,, Ballina, Killaloe, Co. Clare, Ireland. Telephone: +353 87 2547230 Version 2.1 June 30, 2009 1 Origin of the Name Waldron The surname Waldron occurs in many parts of the world, but this paper con- centrates mainly on the history of the name in Ireland, where the modern name Waldron is used by several unrelated families with independent origins: 1. It is an anglicized surname for the descendants of Baildr´ınor Baldraithe MacCoisteala, who was of Norman descent and lived in the Barony of Costello in the east of County Mayo around the year 1300 (see below). Baildr´ınhas been translated ‘little Walter’. The Norman prefix de and the Gaelic prefix Mac have both been used by this family, reflecting the hibernicization of the Norman MacCoistealas and their descendants af- ter they settled in Mayo. The more usual forms of this family’s name in the Irish language nowadays are De Bhaldraithe and MacBhaildr´ın (MacLysaght 1985) (Molloy n.d.) (Comer and O´ Muraile 1986). 2. It is an anglicized form of MacBhalronta, an Irish patronymic assumed by the Wellesley family, who became established in County Meath in 1174 (MacLysaght 1985). The IGI [New York pages ?? and Ireland pages 28919–28923] (International Genealogical Index (IGI) 1988) for Ireland lists the following as alterna- tive names for this family: Walsey, Weasley, Welby, Wellesley, Willesby, Willoughby, Wilsey and Wolseley. 3. It was the surname of a 1609 immigrant from England, which was in turn derived from the Old-English forename Waleron or Waleran.

  • Issues Paper
    Issues Paper Your County Your Plan Your Future Get Involved Make a Submission WHAT IS A COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN? The County Development Plan is a document that sets out the overall strategy and vision for the proper planning and sustainable development of the county over the 6 year plan period. The Plan will be prepared in the context of the framework of national and regional strategies and guidelines, and must be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). The Plan consists of a written statement and accompanying maps. The County Development Plan is a material consideration in making decisions on future planning applications. WHY GET INVOLVED? Given that the new County Development Plan will set out the policy position for the development of the county, it should reflect the needs and ambitions of all communities and residents of County Roscommon. It is important that you have your say on the key issues which will shape the county, including on topics such as housing, economic development, infrastructure provision, environmental protection and climate change. This Issues Paper represents the first step in preparing the new County Development Plan. The paper presents a broad overview of the main issues of consideration and poses a number of questions. The Issues Paper is intended to provoke thought and encourage discussion and involvement from the general public as we plan for the future development of the county.

(303EC-CL) approx 1.5 acre, offered in 1 or more lots. REDUCED TO €195.000 Descpription: This is one of the well-known landmark properties on the Shannon for decades. It is located at Cootehall bridge in Co. Roscommon between Carrick on Shannon and Boyle. Its prime location with ample mooring facilities an extensive riverfrontage outside Lough Key have made this property a popular stopover for many captains navigating the Shannon. It was an established restaurant known as Manfred’s Restaurant in the 1980s and 1990s and very popular. In 2006 the present owners purchased the property and upgraded it to a fine dining experience. The Cootehall Bridge Riverside Restauarant was well known for its award winning cuisine and an expanding business. Unfortunatly in the Winter of 2009 the waterways flooded the property and destroyed the restaurant and period house. All the buildings had to be gutted and are now in a structurally completed state. Currently in existence are: Former Restaurant, outhouses and two storey Guesthouse with residential accommodation on 1.5 acre.

The Miners Walk is an important feature also. For such a tiny village there is a plethora of amenity developments to enjoy. Thank you for the completed questionnaire and sketch map, both facilitated adjudication. A work programme for the next three or five years? If so do let us have a photocopy of the main features of the work programme with next year's application. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT The majority of buildings within Knockvicar are well presented; however, a rusted roof which can be seen beyond the bridge in Knockvicar needs to upgraded as a matter of urgency. The Post Office looks well. Well done on the work of the Fas scheme regarding stone wall construction. Be sure to keep them clear of excess growth and weeds etc. LANDSCAPING The landscaped area at the bridge was in full bloom during adjudication and looked well.

  • Patrick at Sligo. the Life and Writings of St. Patrick with Appendices, Etc
    Patrick at Sligo. The Life and Writings of St. Patrick with Appendices, Etc By The Most Rev. Dr. Healy, Archbishop of Tuam. 1905 • His next journey brought him to the famous Traigh Eothaile (now Trawohelly), a wide beach of white sand separating the diocese of Killala from that of Achonry, and bounding Tireragh on the east. In the time of Bishop Bron, however, Hy Fiachrach extended to the Drumcliff River, north of Sligo, and hence in our ancient martyrologies Cashel Irra or Cuil Irra of Bishop Bron is expressly stated to be in Hy Fiachrach of the Moy. [1] Traigh Eothaile, which took its name from an ancient warrior who fell there after the battle of Moytura of Cong [2]—if that be indeed the real origin of the name—was sometimes a very dangerous place to cross. There were shifting sands in it, and the tidal waves at high springs came in with a rush and a roar that might appal the stoutest heart. But St. Patrick certainly crossed it, for it was the ordinary route eastwards, and then came to another ford or pass at Streamstown, which led across the strand of Ballysadare to Cuil Irra, just under Seafield House. It was called Fintragh Pass, and in ancient days was the usual route from Coolerra into Tireragh. At this time, as we have said, Coolerra was a part of the Tireragh territory, although it afterwards became a portion of the barony of Carbury, and now belongs to the diocese of Elphin. Tirechan merely says that Patrick crossed the strand of Eothaile (Authili) with Bron and the son of Ere Mac Dregin, and came into the plain called, doubtless from the latter, Ros Dregain, ‘ in which is preserved the chasuble [3] of Bron.’ ‘ And, as he sat down there, a tooth of Patrick fell out, which he gave to Bron,’ who preserved it as a relic.
