The Act of Union with Scotland in 1707 stated that henceforth the two countries were 'united into one kingdom by the name of Great Britain'. This usage lasted until the Act of Union with Ireland in 1801 which substituted the term 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland'. After southern Ireland established its independence the name was again modified to 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'.

I am not entirely clear what his point is but I assume it's something to do with the fact that he believes Ireland has never been part of Britain, despite all the evidence to the contrary, i.e. the Acts of Union which made Ireland part of Britain until the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. He also conveniently ignores the fact that on most world atlases the recognised geographical description for the cluster of islands off the coast of mainland Europe is "the British Isles" - and this includes Ireland.

Dear Ray, Groan............. Your pernicketty comments are about as worth while as your knowledge of Irish research. As for atlases........ perhaps you're from the Geographical school of " What's British and what should be British" ;-) Now back to Durham and Northumberland....... perhaps we could find Ray's lot for him and establish who are and aren't his around the Rothbury area. Any volunteers out there wishing to find them in Newcastle?.....It'll be sometime before I get there. Remember Ray...... try to keep the blood pressure down. ;-) That's my last comment on the subject........ this is becoming the "Ray show" Best regards. ps if you need look ups in NBL/DUR Ray just ask..... there's plenty of us willing to help....as it showed last week. > > I get the feeling Kelvin is trying to make some kind of obscure political point, Stan, > nothing to do with the original query, which was about whether there would be records > of people arriving from Ireland in the 19th century. > > I am not entirely clear what his point is but I assume it's something to do with the fact > that he believes Ireland has never been part of Britain, despite all the evidence to the > contrary, i.e. the Acts of Union which made Ireland part of Britain until the > establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. > > He also conveniently ignores the fact that on most world atlases the recognised > geographical description for the cluster of islands off the coast of mainland Europe is > "the British Isles" - and this includes Ireland. > > Now, back to Durham and Northumberland genealogy..... > > -- > Roy Stockdill > Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer > Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html > > "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, > and that is not being talked about." > OSCAR WILDE > > > > ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== > To Post a message to this list send it to, > DUR-NBL-L@rootsweb.com > > ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== > List Web Page > http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/durhamgenealogy/index.phtml > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DUR-NBL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
