    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 21 (Spring 2021) Source Emendations in Gem Thief, Notebook VI.B.1: Topography of Ireland and Handbook of the Ulster Question Viviana-Mirela Braslasu and Geert Lernout Gerard of Wales or Giraldus Cambrensis was a Welsh-Norman priest, clerk of Henry II and writer of scholarly works. As a relative of some of the Normans who had invaded Ireland a generation earlier he visited the island on a number of occasions and he wrote an account of the Norman invasion, preceded by what he called a Topographia, a description of Ireland and the Irish, which he considered a barbarous people, which in itself justified the Norman invasion. This is the first book about Ireland by a non-resident and as Joep Leerssen has demonstrated, it stands at the beginning of a long tradition of negative images of the Irish. Joyce refers to Cambrensis in A Portrait when Temple tells young Dedalus that his family is mentioned by Geraldus and in Ulysses when the Citizen claims that Cambrensis described the sophistication and wealth of the nation, especially its exports among which he includes wine, whereas Cambrensis explicitly says that contrary to what the Venerable Bede claimed, there are no vineyards in Ireland. It is clear that the material Joyce borrows from Cambrensis is the most fantastic and silly bits, such as that there are no mice, no earthquakes and ospreys that have a talon and a webbed foot. The second book was a very recent production, part of the Free State’s campaign over the lost province and its cultural, social and political role in a united Ireland.

The aim of this thesis is to illustrate the impact of partition on the border counties of Cavan and Monaghan in the period 1914 to 1926. Partition had a profound impact on this region in political, economic and social terms. People from all walks of life in the region were adversely affected by the partition of Ireland which was brought about by the Government of Ireland Act of December 1920. The period 1914-1920 which witnessed the imposition of partition was extremely fraught in Cavan and Monaghan as tensions mounted between nationalists and unionists over the regions future. This work examines these tensions and shows how sectarian animosities built up in the region.

    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Fermanagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE Is 6d NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN ffiELAND 1951 County of Fermanagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Government of Northern Ireland was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926,and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid­ night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the "basis of this report and like that in 1926 question's were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and Countj^ Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.

  • A House Divided: the Murrays of the Border and the Rise and Decline of a Small Irish House John Murray Left More Formal Records
    A house divided: the Murrays of the border and the rise and decline of a small Irish house John Murray left more formal records than did many of his family. Born in 1870, his death at home in 1953 was attributed to the senility in old age for which, he is still just about remembered.1 He was married twice, first to Catherine Seery, in 1895, in the County Fermanagh hamlet of Teemore.2 Almost twenty-three years later, he stood at the same alter, and married Margaret Fee.3 He was widowed twice as well. Tuberculosis (phthisis pulmonalis) took Catherine in the summer of 1910.4 She had been certified with the illness just five months earlier, weeks before the birth of their fifth and final child – her third son, John Joseph.5 Catherine Murray’s was one of a little over ten thousand Irish deaths attributed to the disease that year.6 Although it could and did afflict all classes, it was and is primarily an illness of the poor and under-resourced. By the time that Margaret Murray died in 1953 her husband’s memory had already gone. As the owner of land, his name appears in valuation books, as it does in both of just two Irish censuses that are extant and currently available – 1901 and 1911.
