Related Articles...................................................19 □—□ Preface By Douglas A. Hedin Editor, MLHP Patrick Cudmore had published books on history, satires, poetry, political tracts, polemics and countless newspaper articles and letters to public officials before he finally got around to writing his “Autobiography” in 1896. It has three parts: The first and the longest includes his memoir of his early years in Ireland, where he was born in June 1831, his stops in New York and Wisconsin, before settling in Southeastern Minnesota in 1856. It also includes a description of his service during the Civil War. This section concludes with a catalogue of his numerous writings, and a list of the reasons he “abandoned” the Democratic Party and became a Republican. The second part, a later addition, is the entry on him in Herringshaw’s Encyclopedia of American Biography of the Nineteenth Century , published in 1898. This part concludes with another list of his publications and works-in-progress. The final part, entitled “The Pedigree of the Cudmore Family,” contains the results of his genealogical searches in the early 1900s. The manuscript of Cudmore’s “Autobiography” at the Minnesota Historical Society has this notation at the top of the first page: Originally ten pages, it has been reformatted and several long paragraphs divided. Titles of books and newspapers are italicized unless they are in quotations in the original.

  • Who Was Who in Early Modern Limerick by Alan O'driscoll and Brian Hodkinson
    Who Was Who in Early Modern Limerick By Alan O'Driscoll and Brian Hodkinson The following was commenced by Alan O’Driscoll (AOD) while on a work placement in Limerick Museum in the autumn of 2012 and continued by Brian Hodkinson. It is a continuation of the Who was who in medieval Limerick, which can also be found on the Limerick Museum website. It straddles the period c 1540 to c 1700, so some figures may appear in both databases. It is compiled for the most part by using the indexes of the various sources using Limerick as the search term. However, it has been noted that these indexes are often not comprehensive, and so when sources are available online, then a scroll through the text highlighting Limerick has produced entries not in the index. Such scrolling has also found entries where place names are abviously Limerick ones but Limerick does not appear as a word, e.g. in Fiants and CPCRCI. So while I (BJH) like to think it is comprehensive, it may not be. Notes. • Where two similar names are believed to be the same person, the entries are combined. However, many repeated names appear in the same lists (particularly in the Civil Survey). Where this occurs and/or the two persons are listed as coming from a different location, they are separated, even if they are recorded at the same time. There are a great many repeated full names, such as William Bourke, and it has proved practically impossible to be sure of which of these are different people.

Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File NilNo S.1951 FormForm B.S.M.2 STATENT BY MR. JUSTIN McCARTHY, KILFINANE CO. LIMERICK. I was born in the year 1893 at Kilfinane, Co. Limerick. I went to school at St. Munchin's College, Limerick. In the Spring of l9l4 I joined the Irish National Volunteers and became a sub-section leader. At the split between the Irish Volunteers and the original organisation, I joined the former and became leader of the section which became inactive and remained so until reorganised by Ernest Blythe in the Autumn of 1915. The company was about 30 strong and formed part of the Galtee Battalion then under the command of Liam Manahan. We obtained some equipment and a few Smith & Wesson revolvers. We paraded openly with the revolvers and took part with other units at the St. Patrick's Day celebration in Ardpatrick 1916. Some members of the company answered the call on Thursday morning of Easter Week, but I was not one of them. I took part in the East Clare election, June 1917 (for a few days) preparatory to which I attended at Bruree to receive Eamon de Valera on his arrival there from Lewes Gaol from which he left next day for East Clare.

  • Proposed Record of Protected Structures Newcastle West Municipal District
    DRAFT LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028 Volume 3B Proposed Record of Protected Structures Newcastle West Municipal District June 2021 Contents 1.0 Introduction Record of Protected Structures (RPS) – Newcastle West Municipal District 1 2.0 Record of Protected Structures - Newcastle West Municipal District ................................. 2 1 1.0 Introduction Record of Protected Structures (RPS) – Newcastle West Municipal District Limerick City & County Council is obliged to compile and maintain a Record of Protected Structures (RPS) under the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). A Protected Structure, unless otherwise stated, includes the interior of the structure, the land lying within the curtilage of the structure, and other structures lying within that curtilage and their interiors. The protection also extends to boundary treatments. The proposed RPS contained within Draft Limerick Development Plan 2022 - 2028 Plan represents a varied cross section of the built heritage of Limerick. The RPS is a dynamic record, subject to revision and addition. Sometimes, ambiguities in the address and name of the buildings can make it unclear whether a structure is included on the RPS. Where there is uncertainty you should contact the Conservation Officer. The Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht is responsible for carrying out surveys of the architectural heritage on a county-by-county basis. Following the publication of the NIAH for Limerick City and County, and any subsequent Ministerial recommendations, the Council will consider further amendments to the Record of Protected Structures. The NIAH survey may be consulted online at buildingsofireland.ie There are 286 structures listed as Protected Structures in the Newcastle West Metropolitan District.

  • Transatlantic: the Flying Boats of Foynes
    Transatlantic: The Flying Boats of Foynes A Documentary by Michael Hanley Transatlantic: The Flying Boats of Foynes Introduction: She'd come down into the water the very same as a razor blade... barely touch it ‐ you'd hardly see the impression it would make. That was usual, but other times they might hit it very hard... ah yes, they were great days, there's no doubt about it. Poem: I'm sure you still remember the famous flying boats, B.O.A.C., P.A.A. and American Export. With crews - some were small, some tall, some dressed in blue, And in a shade of silvery grey, Export hostess and crew. Narrator: The town of Foynes is situated 15 miles west of Limerick city at the mouth of the River Shannon. Today it is a quietly prosperous port that at first glimpse belies its significance in the history of aviation. 60 years ago the flying boats, the first large commercial aeroplanes ploughed their heavy paths through the rough weather of the transatlantic run to set their passengers down here, on the doorstep of Europe, gateway to a new world. In a time of economic depression and growing international conflict, Foynes welcomed the world in the embrace of the Shannon estuary. "It can't be done!" That was most people's reaction to the idea of flying the Atlantic. After the First War, aircraft could just not perform to the levels needed to traverse the most treacherous ocean in the world. But the glory and the economic rewards for those who succeeded were huge.
