My 3rd grt grandfather was a George POPE b. abt 1817 in Ireland. His death certificate lists his father's birthplace as Ireland and his mother's birthplace as England which, if true, is an important clue. He came to the USA in 1833, probably through Canada. Occupation: Tailor He came to New York (perhaps Albany 1st) then settled in NYC. George and his wife Jane Emslie had six kids, all born in NYC: Jane A. Pope Overin, b. ca.1840 d. Nov. 19, 1880 Emily H. Pope Fleming, b. ca. 1843/4, d. ??? Louisa Pope, b. ca. 1846/7, d. ??? (after 1905) William E. Pope, b. 1850 d. July 1850 George Washington Pope, Feb. 7, 1855-May 2, 1926 Glorianna Pope, Mar. 2, 1860-Mar. 5, 1863 If you are familiar with George I'd appreciate hearing from you.

THE ORATOR "Remember Pearse," he said; "if we Lose Irish we lose Ireland," They looked and listened stupidly Like country folk on holiday. If Yeats were still alive maybe He could breathe vigour into clay, Conjure an aristocracy, And add grandeur to decay. But he too was responsible For this dull ash of men, for he Was often as contemptible In bartering all for poetry. Yes, I have heard some people tell Of petty spite and tyranny, For psychic sight and psychic smell Both failed to teach him charity. If Yeats were still alive maybe Ireland would cut a dash again, But men can starve on poetry And bullets break the poet's pen. We need another death. Who knows -- Before the resurrection -- Instead of arrogance and pose We'll need a Sheehy Skeffington. -- Roy McFadden (born 1921)

Hi there, I am Julie Chlarson. Live in the San Diego, CA area and am a first time poster on this site. The family names I am searching are: Clarkin, Clarken, Griffin, Keanealy, Kanealy, Hughes, Jenks. With the exception of the Jenks family, all came originally from Ireland and most through New York and then on to Iowa. Some of the Clarkin, Griffin and Keanealy families were still in contact with my grandmother as late as 1960, but I don't have any of their names or addresses. I am searching my grandmother's lines from Ireland. She was Marie Ursula Clarkin, born in Cresco, Iowa in 1896. Her father was Michael Joseph Clarkin married to Ida Mary Jenks. Ida and Michael also had two sons, Thomas and Earl. Ida died when the children were young. They eventually moved to California, lived in Los Angeles county for a period of time and then moved to San Diego. Tom and Earl both married here in San Diego and raised children, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are still in this area for the most part. I have details of these families if anyone is interested. Marie married Mark Leslie Beck and they had four children: James, Aleine, Dorothy Kathleen and Elizabeth Janeane. I am Dorothy's eldest child, Julie. Michael Clarkin's father, Thomas Clarkin came with his four brothers, John, William, Francis and Henry from Armagh County, Ireland. His parents were Owen Clarkin and Mary Hughes. Owen Clarkin was born in 1780 and died in 1840. Mary Hughes was born in 1784 and died about 1838. Thomas came to New York with his brothers about 1845. He stayed in New York about two years, then moved to Iowa, eventually settling in Chickasaw County. Thomas Clarkin was married to Maria Griffin, July 24, 1858 in Iowa. Maria was born in 1835 and was orphaned at an early age, so she went to live with her aunt, Mary Gavin. Maria Griffin's father was Michael Griffin, born 1785, died about 1840 and her mother was Mary Keanealy/Kanealy, born in 1785/90 and died in 1838. Maria Griffin migrated about 1845; with her three brothers landed in New York, stayed there for about ten years, then came to Chickasaw County Iowa, where she taught school. Maria Griffin and Thomas Clarkin also had five daughters: Mary who married George Hughes; Margaret; Elizabeth who married Frank Maroney; Julia who married Frank Murphy; and Agnes who married Thomas Reed. According to my grandmother's journal, all of these Clarkin girls taught school before they married. I have some journal entries on some of these sisters' family lines if there is anyone interested let me know. My email is: <jaceagle47@aol.com> thanks, Julie

Hi, Does anyone have access to the "Directory of Irish Born people in the 1861 Census". A series of Microfiche released by the Manchester and Lancashire FHS? Apparently containing full census details transcribed from the 1861 returns of . I have a couple of stray Irish g-grandparents who happened to be married in West Derby, Lancaster, Jan 1861 and thought they might happen to appear in the census. Stubbs Lambert aged 19, and Annie Jane Gunn, aged 22. Hoping it might mention Stubbs' Irish County of birth. So far eluding me. many thanks, glen lambert Sydney, Aus.

LET THE TOAST PASS Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen, Here's to the widow of fifty; Here's to the flaunting extravagant queen, And here's to the housewife that's thrifty. Let the toast pass, Drink to the lass, I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass. Here's to the charmer whose dimples we prize, Now to the maid who has none, sir, Here's to the girl with a pair of blue eyes, And here's to the nymph with but one, sir! Let the toast pass, Drink to the lass, I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass. Here's to the maid with a bosom of snow, And to her that's as brown as a berry; Here's to the wife, with a face full of woe, And now to the damsel that's merry Let the toast pass, Drink to the lass, I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass. For let 'em be clumsy, or let 'em be slim, Young or ancient, I care not a feather; So fill the pint bumper quite up to the brim, And let us e'en toast them together: Let the toast pass, Drink to the lass, I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass. -- Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) >From "The School for Scandal"

Thank you to all who replied. I appreciate your help GREATLY. Happy Hunting! Chris

O Ireland, isn't it grand you look -- Like a bride in her rich adornin'? And with all the pent-up love of my heart I bid you the top o' the mornin'! -- John Locke, "The Exile's Return" Ireland is only about the size of West Virginia. Wherever you are, you'll never be father than 70 miles from the sea, and yet this tiny island has one of the richest histories of the Western world. Ireland is made up of four provinces. Ulster, Connacht, Leinster, and Munster, which are divided into 32 counties. Note - Six counties in the province of Ulster make up the territory of Northern Ireland. 1, CONNACHT: Counties Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon, and Sligo. 2. MUNSTER: Counties Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford. 3. LEINSTER: Counties Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Leix (Laois/Queen's Co.), Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly (King's Co.), Westmeath, Wexford, and Wicklow. 4. ULSTER: (Republic of Ireland) - Counties Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan. (Northern Ireland) - Antrim, Armagh, Derry/Londonderry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone. Note - You'll also see Connacht spelled Connaught.

Hello Fellow Irish Researchers! I am new at this. I apologize if this is a dumb question. I am trying to find out where Ulster is (or was) in Ireland. I am looking for the Charles and Rose McConaghy family. They immigrated from Ireland around 1831. They had a one year old son named Alexander who was my great, great, grandfather. I have been told by a great uncle that he thinks they came from Ulster. Any ideas? Thank you. Chris

There are four provinces in Ireland. i.e., Connaught, Leinster, Munster, and Ulster. Of the nine counties which make up Ulster, six ( Tyrone, Antrim, Derry, Fermanagh, Armagh, Down) are in Northern Ireland and three (Donegal, Monaghan, and Cavan) are in the Irish Republic.

Some Reviews, for Your Information -- 1. "Echoes Of A Savage Land," Joe McGowan, Mercier Press - This native of Mullaghmore, a beautiful and mainly rural county of Sligo, shares observances, customs, stories, folklore of Cos. Sligo, Donegal, Fermanagh and Leitrim in particular - from witch hares and harvest knots, mummers and wrenboys, corncakes and haunted houses, poitin stills and satanic card games, icy rooms and blackbird pie, burnt offerings and stirabout! 2. "Three Plays," by John B. Keane, Mercier Press. Poet and author, Keane is the country's favourite Kerryman. His Year of the Hiker deals with the sudden return of a long absent husband & father; The Change in Mamie Fadden, a story of an undervalued wife and mother thinking of "going the roads," and The Highest House on the Mountain, bitter harvest of sibling envy. 2. "Brothers And Sisters - Glimpses of Cloistered Life," Frank Monaco, The Collins Press. Beautiful photographic record of Carthusian, Benedictine, Cistercian monks and Carmelite, Benedictine and Poor Clare Nuns collected over many years of work in monasteries and convents by a famous photographer - Serene, lovely, provoking. 3. "Reflections of Contemporary Irish Men," Valerie O'Sullivan, Veritas, Dublin. Fine portraits, biographies, personal thoughts of 100+ contemporary Irish men as they compose music, mind railway crossings or canal locks, sell horese, farm, present TV programs, change laws, make accordians, do eye surgery, building houses, run newspapers, etc. Not surprising, some quote lines such as: "My father played the melodeon Outside at our gate; There were stars in the morning east And they danced to his music." -- Patrick Kavanagh "Is not religion all deeds and all reflection, And that which is neither deed nor reflection, but a wonder and a surprise ever springing in the soul, Even while the hands hew stone or tend the loom? Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?" -- Kahili Gilbran 4. "Where The Grass is Greener, Voices of Immigrant Women in Ireland," ed. Susan Knight, Oak Tree Press, Dublin. Impressions of 61 foreign-born women living in Ireland. Few want to go back where they came from. "Beautiful, exasperating Ireland," remarks Dr. Knight, "It gets under your skin." 5. "The Gap of the North: The Archaeology & Folklore of Armagh, Down, Louth & Monaghan," by Noreen Cunningham and Pat McGinn, O'Brien Press. 48 sites are examined in detail. Includes Social fabric, history and myth of the area. 6. "Croagh Patrick, Co. Mayo: Archaeology, Landscape and People," by Leo Morahan, pub.Croagh Patrick Archaeological Committee ISBN 0953608 3 8. Ireland's oldest pilgimage site going back some 1,500 years. A local committee was founded to examine any remaining archaeological evidence. In 1994, ruins of an Early Christian oratory were uncovered at the summit, the next year a hilltop rampart encompassing the top of the mountain was investigated and some small antique coloured glass beads were discovered. Many drawings and photographs. It is reasonable to consider that human occupation goes back to the Bronze Age. 7. "Singing Stone, Whispering Wind: Voices of Connemara" (Galway) " Photos by Ms. Raymonde Standun, Ed. Bill Long - Photos and voices of more than 50 ordinary people of Connemara. First pub; in 1967, revised to give balanced view of Ireland. 8. "Short Fellow" - A biography of Charles Haughey, by T. Ryle Dwyer, Marino Books/Mercier Press. Charles J. Haughey, flat-burning student, member of Dail Eireann, Minister for Justice, Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries, Minister for Finance, Minister for Health & Social Welfare, several times Leader of the Opposition, several times Taioseach - has intrigued, bewildered, infuriated, frightened, insulted, embarrassed, uplifted, entertained, mystified, educated and thoroughly distracted most the the nation. 9. "Irish Fairs and Markets - Studies in Local History," by Cronin, Gilligan & Holton. Study from medieval times to the present. 10. "An Irish Literary Dictionary and Glossary," Richard Wall, pub. by Colin Smythe. The meaning of those "odd" words you have come across, wondered about.

Seeking information about a BARTHOLMEW FARLEY who was a jeweller located at 6 Digges Street in 1832-33.
