It is located in the town of Boyle, County Roscommon. In this story we’ll learn about how to enter Boyle Abbey and find out what we can expect during our visit. This is the entrance to Boyle Abbey. When we go through the entrance gate we will see the Information Office. A person at the Information Office will help us and give us our tickets. They will answer any questions we may have and help us find our way around. The Staff at Boyle Abbey There are friendly and helpful people who can help us. Eugene, Joe and Thomas are the names of the Tour Guides who work at Boyle Abbey. They can show us around and answer any questions we may have. Upstairs in the Gatehouse is the Exhibition Room where we will see lots of information panels telling us about the history of Boyle Abbey. We can see a model of Boyle Abbey, the Guest House, The Abbots House and the graveyard. The stairs up to the Exhibition Room are very steep and uneven. We must take care when we are on them. When we leave the Gatehouse we will go into the Cloister. The Cloister is the Garden of the Abbey. From the Cloister we can see the church. We can see all of the arches in the church. We will go into the church. Now we can explore! There will be lots of interesting things to see. We can see the Whispering Arch We might meet groups of visitors.

Many thanks for your application form with additional information. There are a number of easy ways in which you could enhance the presentation of your application form. In the first instance it is recommended that you use the electronic form over the hardcopy. This will give you all the space you need to describe your projects clearly and succinctly. The second point is to do with your additional information. The adjudicator welcomes the use of photos but these should be limited in number and be specifically related to projects undertaken. It is best to leave long descriptions out in favour brief captions which refer back to the application form. If presenting before and after photographs one of each is quite sufficient. Your additional information was tied together rather loosely in four different collections and this presented the adjudicator with a rather unwieldy volume of material. You could use a small ring binder or, better still, insert the photos digitally into the application form, thereby eliminating the need for loose pages.

Language Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891
Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891). Spatial Unit Table Name Barony lang51_bar Barony lang61_bar Barony lang71_91_bar County lang01_11_cou Barony geog_id (spatial code book) County county_id (spatial code book) Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891 Baronies are sub-division of counties their administrative boundaries being fixed by the Act 6 Geo. IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables. These are : The list of cities and towns is a follows: Dublin City Kilkenny City Drogheda Town* Cork City Limerick City Waterford City Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 2 Belfast Town/City (Co.

ROINN. COSANT BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21 STATEMENT BY WITNESS DOCUMENT NO. W.S. 718 Witness Sergeant T. Crawley, Garda Barracks, Ballyfarnon Boyle, Co. Roscommon Identity. Vice-Commandant 1st Battalion, South Roscommon Brigade I.R.A., 1920-1921; Sergeant Garda Siochana. Subject. National activities, South Roscommon, 1917-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No S.2033 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY SERGEANT T. CRAWLEY, Gárda Barracks, Ballyfarnon, Boyle, Co. Hoscommon. Some of my ancestors. were engaged in the Fenian Movement. From that association I suppose I developed a sympathetic feeling for all things Irish, particularly those that tended to free our country from the tight grip, in which it was held by the British government. Start of the Volunteers in the Loughlynn area: In 1917 a Company of Volunteers was; started in Loughlynn to combat the threat of conscription which was then menacing us. This Company was about 6o strong. The 0/C was Pat Glynn. We had no arms except that there ware some shotguns in the area which would be available to us in the case of a crisis. Our instructor was Tom Rodgers. He had had service in the British Army. The principal instruction we received was drill. When the threat of conscription died out the organisation dwindled away also. Before, however, it had completely died out some of the members had made up their mind, to form a proper Company of Irish Volunteers in the area. About the 1st April 1918 Dan O'Rourke came to Loughlynn and gave us some instruction about the formation of a Company.

Nil File No.S.2314 Form STATEMENT BY JAMES EDWARD FEELY Great Meadow. Boyle. Co. Roscommon My father was a member of the Fenian organisation. He had to leave the country and go to America after the '67 Rising. He lived in the United States in New York and was linked up with the Clan-na-Gael there. When he returned to Ireland he was an active member of the land League. I was brought up in the Fenian faith with a rebel outlook. In 1914, a company of the Irish Volunteers was formed in Boyle and I joined them. The company was about 100 strong, but about 4O of them went to the British Army when the first Great War started. A man named Charles Devine was in charge of the company then. We had no arms of any sort. When Redmond finally split the Volunteers by recommending the Volunteers to take service in the British Army, all but about a dozen men went over to the Red mondite side and became members of the new Irish National Volunteers. The dozen or so of us who plumped for the Irish Volunteers now became inactive and the Irish Volunteer organisation died out. About February 1915 Alec McCabe visited Boyle and took a number of us into the I.R.B.

The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
