  • 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.

  • Registry of Freeholders in the County of Cavan
    In order to be a registered voter a person had to have a freehold property. A freeholder was a per son who possessed his estate, whether i n land or houses, . in fee (i. e. for himself and his heirs fvrever), or on a lease for one or more lives. Since 1793 catholics who held such freeholds were eligible to vote. The number of regi stered voters in Co .Cavan in 1826 is officially given as 7814, of whom 486 wer e £50 freeholders, 218 £20 freeholders and the rest, 7, 110 fort y-shi lling freeholders. Almost all the forty­ shilling freeholders were leasehold freeholders. A landlord created these freeholds pr imar i ly i f not exclusively in order t o create hi s political power, f or it was the accept ed pract ice that a freeholder cast his vote f or hi s landlord or f or the person whom the landl ord designated. If he vot ed aga inst his landl ord ' s desite, he could easily find himself 1. denied a renewal on the death of t he person on whose life he had t aken the lease 2. called on t o pay arrears of r ent. It was t hus a hazar dous venture eSPeci a lly on t he pa rt of a f orty shilling freeholder, who was poor and utter ly dependent on his patch of land, t o d1sobey his land lor d ' s wi sh on election day.
