Here's an Item I came across............... September 05, 2004 The Irish are not Celts, say experts Jan Battles THE long-held belief that Ireland's population is descended from the Celts has been disproved by geneticists, who have concluded that they never invaded Ireland. The research at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) into the origins of Ireland's population found no substantial evidence of the Celts in Irish DNA, and concludes they never settled here en masse. The study, part-funded by the National Millennium Committee, has just been published in The American Journal of Human Genetics. It was one of four projects funded by the government under the Genetic History of Ireland programme, which aimed to provide a definitive survey of the origins of the ancient peoples of Ireland. Part of the project's brief was to discover whether there was a large incursion by Celtic people about 2,500 years ago as was widely believed. After comparing a variety of genetic traits in Irish people with those of thousands of European and Near Eastern inhabitants, the scientists at TCD say there was not. Some people would go as far as saying there was total replacement of the population (of Ireland) 2,500 years ago, said Brian McEvoy, one of the authors. But if that happened we would definitely be more related to people in central Europe, because the Celts were supposed to have come from there. We're just not seeing that. We're seeing something earlier. Our legacy is the result of the first people to settle in Ireland around 9,000 years ago. About 15,000 years ago, ice covered Ireland, Britain and a lot of northern Europe so prehistoric man retreated back into Spain, Italy and Greece, which were still fairly temperate. When the ice started melting again around 12,000 years ago, people followed it northwards as areas became habitable again. The primary genetic legacy of Ireland seems to have come from people from Spain and Portugal after the last ice age, said McEvoy. They seem to have come up along the coast through western Europe and arrived in Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It's not due to something that happened 2,500 years ago with Celts. We have a very old genetic legacy. While we may not owe our heritage to the Celts, we are still linked to other populations considered Celtic, such as Scotland and Wales. McEvoy said: It seems to be more a cultural spread than actual people coming in wiping out and replacing everyone else. A PhD student in Trinity's department of genetics, McEvoy will present the findings tomorrow at the Irish Society of Human Genetics annual meeting. He and Dan Bradley of TCD took samples of mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited from the mother, from 200 volunteers around Ireland using cheek swabs. They also compiled a database of more than 8,500 individuals from around Europe and analysed them for similarities and matches in the sequences. They found most of the Irish samples matched with those around Britain and the Pyrenees in Spain. There were some matches in Scandinavia and parts of northern Africa. Of the Celtic regions, by far the strongest correspondence is with Scotland, said Bradley. It corresponds exactly with language. While that could be due to the Plantation of Ulster, Bradley said it was more likely due to something much older because the matches occur throughout the whole of Ireland and not just the north. The geneticists produced a map of Europe with contours linking places that were genetically similar. One contour goes around the edge of the Atlantic, around Wales, Scotland, Ireland and includes Galicia in Spain and the Basque region. This isn't consistent with the idea of a large invasion here around 500BC, said Bradley. You would expect some more affinity with central Europe if we owed the bulk of our ancestry to a movement from central Europe but we don't. Some archeologists also doubt there was a Celtic invasion because few of their artifacts have been found in Ireland. Patrick Traynor. tray@lanset.com

BALLINA CHRONICLE Wednesday, March 20, 1850 At Clonmel assizes, David Slattery and William Quinlan were tried before Judge Ball, for the wilful murder of James Hennesy, at Graffon, on the 23d November, '48, William Quinlan (Cud) committing the murder the prisoners aiding and abetting. Mr. Johnston addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoners. His Lordship charged the jury, who after an absence of half an hour, returned a verdict of not guilty. The prisoners appeared quite astounded at the verdict, and bowed repeatedly to the jury. The same men were tried before Sergeant Stock last assizes for the same murder, when the jury were locked up all night, and discharged without agreeing. Mr. Francis Cormack charged with the abduction of Miss Mary Ross Amelia Fogarty, since married, pleaded guilty, and was ordered to find security to come up for sentence when required. On Tuesday, as a man named Daniel Leary was being conveyed in a car to the Nenagh workhouse, he died from exhaustion caused by want of food. Mr. Agar, the coast guard officer of Morrisford, Wexford, has received from Fielden Brothers and Co. Liverpool, £50 for himself and party for having saved Mr. Burnsely, from the "Hottingeur." A stable, the property of Martin Cleary, was maliciously set on fire at Borrisokane on Sunday night and consumed. In the amateur exhibition of paintings at the Royal Dublin Society gallery this month is a painting of "French Hussars," by Colonel John Vandeleur, a masterly effort by one familiar with the subject. Wm. Kilpatrick, retired collector of Excise, late of Dundalk, was proclaimed under a writ of outlawry at Guildhall. INTEMPERANCE - Gluttony is the source of our infirmities, and the fountain of all our diseases. As a lamp is choked by a superabundance of oil, a fire extinguished by excess of fuel, so is the natural heat of the body destroyed by intemperate diet. DARING ATTEMPT AT MURDER - A most daring attempt at assassination was committed in the village of Lorhs, and within 200 yards of the police barrack, on the evening of the 7th last. The particulars of the case appear to be these: - About the hour of 11 o'clock, as James Loughnane, a comfortable farmer, residing in the village, came out of his house, and while crossing the road to where he had corn in stack, he was fired at from behind an opposite wall. A large grain of the shot entered the corner of the left eye, passed between the skin and the bone, and lodged convenient to the nose. Another grain perforated his hat. Loughnane's escape from murder was most miraculous, as the intended assassin was not more than four yards distant when he fired at him, and the charge must have been very heavy as the report of the gun was loud and heard by the barrack orderly of the police. The police were at once on the spot and remained the whole night patrolling the country and searchin! g suspected places but without success. Loughnane is a remarkably industrious and inoffensive young man and was always well liked in the neighbourhood. No possible cause can be assigned for the commission of this daring attempt on life. -- Nenagh Guardian. ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION - As Mr. Ellis, steward to John Trant, Esq., Doves, was returning from church, accompanied by his wife, child and Wm. Bell, a ploughman to Mr. Trant, he was fired at by a ruffian, who was standing on a ditch by the road side, at Leigh. The car on which Mr. Ellis was seated happened to have been going rapidly at the time the shot was fired, and, providentially, none of the party received the least injury. The police were immediately at the scene of the outrage, but did not succeed in arresting the villain. Mr. Ellis suspects that he has become obnoxious from having cultivated, tilled, and farmed a large tract of ground for Mr. Trant, who resides within a mile of the place where Mr. Ellis was fired at. -- Nenagh Guardian.

In many if not all of the older parish registers with which I deal, there is usually only a single address given in entries for marriages. This rasies the question, what is the significance of this address? Is it: a) The address of the groom, b) The address of the bride, or, c) The location of the marriage (which pre-1850 or so seems to have been generally in private homes, at least in rural areas). In cases where I am familar with origins, it seems to be case b), i.e. brides address, which would also coincide with c). However, in some other registers, I am just not sure which it is. Anyone know if there was a general rule being followed, or could it vary by parish, etc.? Regards, The Chief

I would like to hear from Tommy, Francis or Jimmy Lynch or anyone who knows them. They were born in the 1940s and lived in New York.

I cannot locate them in the 1860 census in PA either. I have found the family 1870-1910 in the censuses. For your information, the only census in which your great grandmother is referred to as Nancy is 1900. In all of the other censuses she is listed as Agnes. I have searched for her under both names on the ship's lists to no avail. The date of immigration is also questionable. It is listed as 1853 in the 1900 census, but in 1910 it appears as 1852. But her two eldest sons were born in Ireland and in one of the censuses one of the sons is listed as born 1854. One of my great grandmothers was listed in the same manner, i.e., Nancy/Agnes. I also found one reference to her as Jane. My great grandmother nee Moor was born in Scotland but immigrated from Ireland. Mike

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Mayo, Ireland Wednesday, March 20, 1850 MISCELLANEOUS Mr. Gibbons, at Killaloe, was robbed of his silver watch in the Court-house of Limerick. The County Surgeon of the gaol is dispensed with by the Grand Jury. Mr. Ellis, steward to Mr. Trant, of Doven, was fired at on Sunday returning from Nenagh church. Six police are ordered to Downshire and Armagh on temporary duty. Mr. M'Cleland's Tipperary Boy won the Chichester hunt steeple chase, near Belfast, on Thursday. The 3s rate in Nenagh union is to be collected by two equal instalments. At Armagh Assizes, Mrs. Bleazby, charged with the murder of her husband, has been admitted to bail in £1,400; Gordon, the steward, also. The Waterford Grand Jury have granted to Sub-Constable Owen's Mother £105. Owen was killed at Cappoquin barrack by the insurgents. At Athlone meeting Cornet Rontine (Scot's Greys) Zerina, won the military race, and Mr. Lawson's Nameless the Handicap. The Tralee Guardians have taken 12 acres of land near the Workhouse, from Mr. Jerome Quill, at 4l. per Irish acre. The Newtownards Mining Company have presented their agent, Captain Silas Evans, with a service of plate, value £100. Mr. Stewart Erskine Rolland, late of the 39th Regiment, is with Captain Layard, assisting to bring to light the hidden antiquarian treasures of Nineveh. Luke Lennon, John Lennon, John Donohoe and Mathew Joy are the persons found guilty at Waterford assizes of having attacked the Police Barrack at Cappoquin, on the 16th of Sept. last, when Constable Ownes was killed by the insurgents. Pat Downing, sen, and Pat Downing, jun, were convicted of the murder of Michael Hogan, a bailiff, who went to execute a decree at Eagle-hall. At Liverpool Police Court, Thomas Gorman was brought up on a charge of stealing 45l. belonging to Michael Hogan, of Killokennedy, county of Clare. It appears that the prisoner was in the employment of Mr. Hogan, his uncle, and that the money which was in Limerick bank notes, was taken from a chest. The prisoner was sent over to Limerick in charge of Head Constable M'Hale, who had arrested him. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/
