  • 1951 Census Armagh County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Armagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7s M NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN ffiELAND 1951 County of Armagh 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 Governinent 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 m^ore 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 questions 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 profession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.

  • 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.

There are about 60,000 townlands in Ireland and about 200 of them in South Armagh. The townlands are an historical source that encompasses the mythology of Ireland - the Cattle Raid of Cooley, CU Chulainn, Fionn Mac Cumhail - as well as the early Christian period. But above all else they are the repository of the Irish language which was spoken widely by the people up to the 1920's in areas like Dromimee, Killeavy and Mullaghbane. I hope people enjoy this booklet, whether learners of the language or those interested in the history of the area, and that it might help in the understanding and in the preserva- tion of our townland heritage.

  • Loyalism in Fews from 17Th Century
    23/06/2015 5:18 PM http://www.newryjournal.co.uk/2011/02/20/loyalism-in-fews-from-17th-... Readers Stories Discussion Forum Guestbook 1800-1900, — February 20, 2011 18:26 — 0 Comments Loyalism in Fews from 17th century Loyalism has its roots in the confiscation, followed by the plantation of Irish land by the English rulers from Queen Elizabeth in the 16th century to William of Orange at the end of the 17th century. The southern part of county Armagh – known as the Fews, or to give it its Gaelic name Na Feadha (woods or wilderness) – had resisted plantation by nature of its remoteness, its mountainous terrain and because like most of Ulster, it lay outside the control of English domain. However in 1572 Queen Elizabeth, who had already shown interest in bringing colonists to Ulster, decided that South Armagh was ripe for plantation. Accordingly on 5 October 1572 the Queen granted ‘Orior, the Fews and Gallowglass country’ (around Markethill) to Sir Thomas Chatterton .1 In spite of Chatterton’s efforts which included building a fort at Camlough, his scheme came to nothing and his grant was revoked. Chatterton was killed shortly after in Orior, his brother was slain in 1585. A colony of Scots settled at Markethill in 1619 by John Henry Acheson was more successful with a ‘bawn of clay and stone …..and they are able to make thirty men at arms’. 2 The area around Creggan was able to escape the ravages of plantation until Cromwellian times when the lands of Henry O’ Neill were confiscated and Henry transplanted to Connacht.

  • A Local Episode in the 'Land War'
    Land Wars_Layout 1 31/01/2012 11:26 Page 1 POYNTZPASS AND DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY 17 A LOCAL EPISODE IN THE ‘LAND WAR’ BY JOE CANNING century. There was also the national question – the quest for independence from Britain. Some of the leaders in the land question tried to keep the two issues apart, but it was inevitable that they should impinge on each other, and this can be seen in the episode described here. While legislation played an important part in solving the land question there are some matters of concern to farmers which cannot be solved by legislation, and these are weather conditions and prices. It was a series of bad harvests and falling prices that led to this dispute. The location was the former Drumbanagher Estate. This estate, which contained over 10,000 acres, would be familiar to people living between Poyntzpass and Newry, and older people would remember the very fine castle that once stood to the west of the road to Newry. Up to the second decade of the nineteenth century, the estate belonged to the Moore family. The head of the family at that time was Sir John Moore and, as well as being a landlord, he was also a Member of the Irish Parliament. Along with two others he set up the Newry Bank. This bank flourished during the Napoleonic wars when the Irish economy was buoyant. However, the depression that followed the end of the war caused the collapse of the bank and it closed in 1816. The biggest loser was Sir John, as he had invested more money than his Map showing townlands of Knockduff, partners and was committed to underwriting the Kilmonaghan and Serse debts.
