  • The Lawrences of Lawrencetown
    Farm implements and spinning wheels were common purchases. Pictured is the watercolour Woman and Girl Spinning at an Open Door (1838) by William Evans. Reproductive Loan Fund Lending to the ‘Industrious Poor’ Clans and Surnames Conference, 17 May 2017 What were the Loan Funds • In the period just before the Great Hunger of the 1840s there were more than 300 independent loan funds making small loans available to the Irish poor. • One fifth of the households of Ireland were borrowers from these funds each year, making them one of the most successful microfinance initiatives anywhere in the world. • So what information can be garnered from these funds, why were they established, what can it tell us about Irish life in this era, and what is available for Genealogists? Loan Fund in Ireland • After the famines of the 1820s surplus charitable donations of c. £55,000 were provided to loan associations in the counties worst affected. • Loan funds were independent, charitably-funded organisations lending in their regions. • Loan amounts were from £1 to £10 (average £3), repayable over 20 weeks. • Regulation of many funds, such as it was, from 1837, was through the ‘Loan Fund Board’. • A distinct, unregulated, micro-credit scheme called the ‘Irish Reproductive Loan Fund’ was also established to provide loans to the industrious poor. Roscommon Journal and Western Impartial Reporter, 21 May 1836, advertising their fund. - In 1836, half of the 2,849 borrowers from one Co Mayo fund were small farmers with close to one quarter being weavers & spinners. - While the intent may have been to lend for industry, funds were called upon to meet rent, at high interest rates, and to those had little understanding of money.
