Roscommon and went to School in Carnalasson Schools and later to Farraher Christian Brothers Schools. My father was associated with the Fenian Movement hut it was not through him I inherited my rebel tendencies as he tried to impress on me to have nothing to do with such movements. It was through my association with the G.A.A. that I became interested in the Independence Movement. In travelling around to Football Matches I met and listened to the talk of many of the men who afterwards became prominent in the Movement. Though my football associations I got to know Liam Mellows. In 1916 during the period of the Rebellion our house was raided and searched by Police and Soldiers. I cannot say why this was done. Perhaps my association with some of the men who took part in the Rebellion through Football led them to believe I was also mixed up in it or it may have been on account of my father's Fenian association. I decided then that as I had the name I might as well have the gains. "Joining the Irish Volunteers".

  • 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.

  • Church-St-Main-St-Roscommon
    KNOW YOUR 5 km. Plot at Church Street and Old Gaol Street Roscommon Town By Vincent Delany F.R.I.A.I., M.A.(Hist.) 1 1.0. INTRODUCTION During the third Covid 19 lockdown, Roscommon County Council along with ‘Our Irish Heritage’ and ‘The National Museum of Ireland’ and ‘Heritage Ireland’ encouraged citizens to investigate and research the heritage located within five kilometres of their residences. My investigation looks at a modest rectangular urban plot of land located at the junction of the streets now known as Main Street and Church Street, close to the centre of Roscommon Town, Co. Roscommon. If the centre of Roscommon Town is the Market Square and the Bank of Ireland, the 2,175m2 site under investigation is located at the opposite end of Main Street, lower down the hill. The rectangular site is dimensioned at about 28.5 m. facing onto Main Street by 76.0m. facing onto Church Street. Although I am not a resident of Roscommon town, I do work in Roscommon Town and as somebody with an interest in the town, I believe I qualify to put in an entry. I have a selection of useful research material on my computer as well as being able to access material on-line, such as the Irish Census and Griffith valuations. This project intends to analyse what is known about and what is the significance of the site. 2.0. A CHURCH STREET SITE AT THE FIRST MILLENNIUM. Without excavation beneath the houses of Roscommon Town, evidence is hard to find to support what was happening on our chosen site around the year 1000 A.D.

Geological history The oldest rocks in Roscommon occur in two inliers (older rocks entirely surrounded by younger rocks) north-east of Strokestown and at Slieve Bawn. These rocks are of Ordovician age and are the remnants of a former ocean floor and the roots of a long since vanished mountain chain. They are related to rocks throughout Longford, Down, and into the Southern Uplands of Scotland, but as they are so small in Roscommon, their story is best told in the other county’s leaflets. Surrounding them are some Devonian age rocks, sandstones and gravels laid down by flash floods in a poorly vegetated environment. Both Ordovician rocks and Devonian rocks are partly preserved because they have been lifted up on one side of the Strokestown Fault, which is one of the major geological structures in the county. Roscommon’s main geological history is in the Carboniferous period. Nearly all the county has limestone near the surface, which was deposited in Roscommon: COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND 3 a shallow tropical sea covering much of Ireland around 330 million years ago.
