The family was Irish Roman Catholic. Patrick and his children were then working as laborers. In 1881, next door (at the next house number) lived a Nowlan widow, most likely that of the Michael Nowlan appearing in 1851 census. Widow Frances Nowlan (c1807), was English RC , born in Nova Scotia and her children, living with her, were James Nowlan (c1864) and Thomas Nowlan (c1866), both born in Nova Scotia. **** >From an earlier posting by Donna Stevens of the Carlow list we also know that Patrick Nolan and Ellen Brophy had the following children, all baptized at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Halifax: 1) Anastatia (named after Anastasia Hennessey) , b 11 Apr 1835, baptized by Fr.

By chance, I came across an online copy of the following item, which might be of interest to some of us: Title: A statement of persecutions on the part of certain Tory landlords in the county of Carlow, refererred to in a petition of Nicholas Aylward Vigors, Esq.: presented to the House of Commons on the 15th Feb. 1836. Source: Hume Tracts, (1836) Contributor(s): UCL Library Services Stable URL: [1]http://www.jstor.org/stable/60205197 It is the petition mentioned in the Pat Purcell papers ([2]http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlcar2/PP_papers_116.htm). My access was through JSTOR ([3]www.jstor.org), a subscription database carried by many university libraries. It isn’t one of the openly-accessible items on JSTOR but there might be another online or print source. The original is at University College London. Hume is Jeremy Hume. Aside from historical interest, it gives the names of people identified as having been evicted from the holdings of Beresford in a number of townlands (it was a quick read – I think that’s what it’s about). So, it’s very localized but many of the surnames are familiar. None, however, are of interest to me and it is 60 pages long, which is a slog when the pages have to be loaded individually and it won’t download as a pdf file… The format was to insert a short list of names for a townland within the text of the petition. For example: Townland of Ballyloughan Widow Boyle and four children Thomas Kealy and sister Michael Nolan, wife, and four children [14 families listed] 15-20 townlands are included. The text often does include other details which might also be of interest about the individuals. If anyone knows of an open online source to this, it would be a great addition to our collective knowledge. Failing that, I’d be happy to access it for people who can’t – just give me either a townland name or a surname and I can let you know any information of interest. I’m also open to suggestions if indexing the townlands and names makes sense or something else.

Kilkey is a townland southwest of Ballon Village, next to the Killane, Moanmore and Ballybrommell townlands. >From a Nova Scotia marriage record, we also know that this Garrett and Anastasia had a son named Patrick who in 1834 in Halifax married an Ellen Brophy.

NOTE: Above, for Michael's baptism in 1841, Johanna Whelan was actually an aunt, sister of the mother Ellen Brophy. Johanna Brophy was born in County Carlow. She married David Whelan at St. Mary's (Halifax) on 14 Jun 1837. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, b 23 Dec 1849 and baptized 1 Jan 1850 at St. Mary's, godparents John Murphy and Elizabeth P(?). David must have died young, because Johanna then married Edward Kellen on 12 Jul 1852. Bye for now, Roger http://nolanfamilies.org P.S. Chris, I thought that you might be interested in this line of Nolans who could conceivably be related to yours. Note in particular first names Garrett, Michael and Owen.

[ Note added 2012 by Michael Purcell - coincidence or not ? James Lawler of Bagnelstown made his Statement on the 6th June 1820..-- the same day that the Waterford Newport Bank collapsed !. the following extract is from The Keep Military Museum ] In the south of Ireland the leading bank was the Waterford bank operated by the Newport family. By 1820 it had been in existence for at least sixty years, and the Newport name carried immense confidence. Its owner William Newport of Belmont was well known to all. The sad fact was, however, that for years William had been skating on very thin ice. In 1820 his bank’s credit stood at £64,000, its debt at four times that amount. When smaller banks in other Munster towns collapsed, William knew the game was up, and rather than face his creditors he took his own life. The failure of the Waterford Bank had a devastating effect on the community. We are told how “strong men lost their reason, and steady men drank themselves to death”. But it’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good. That astute old businessman, Thomas Meagher senior, bought up the Newport assets, which included the freehold of the building now known as the Granville Hotel. This had been leased out to the Quan family, whose assets had been invested in Newport’s and who were now ruined – so Meagher bought their lease as well. He installed in the Granville his son Thomas and his wife Alicia Quan. And that’s how their son Thomas Francis Meagher came to be born in the Granville in 1823. The Waterford Bank failed in 1820 on the 6th June 1820.

[ Note added 2012 by Michael Purcell - recently at a sale of Banknotes in Spinks Auction House a nine shilling banknote from Newport's Waterford Bank was sold for over 3,000 Pounds sterling.

The Newport family [image: The Newport Family - click for enlargement]<https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/html/compose/static_files/gallery.php?&id=111573&sid=b118a153a51a08e36a3a8133478a9d19&frompage=%2Fnewport_family.php%3F%26dx%3D1%26ob%3D3%26rpn%3Dnewport_family%26sid%3Db118a153a51a08e36a3a8133478a9d19>In 1670 the Duke of Ormonde established a woollen factory at Carrick-on-Suir, bringing over from England a number of families who had previously been driven out of the Netherlands because of their Protestant beliefs. One of the Dutch émigrés was John Newport, whose family subsequently prospered in and around Waterford. In the mid-18th century his grandson Simon founded the principal bank of Waterford, Simon Newport and Sons. By 1803 the bank of 'William Newport, Samuel Newport and John Newport' had 36,600 notes in circulation under three guineas, 6,500 under ten pounds and 3,500 under fifty pounds. Five years later notes in public circulation at Newport's Bank totalled some £150,000. In those halcyon days there was an expression in Waterford, 'as good as Newport's notes'. Another measure of their influence is that ten members of the Newport family held the office of Mayor of Waterford between 1727 and 1840. Simon Newport, whose uncle Samuel was a partner in Newport's Bank, was born on 1 November 1788, the only son of Sir Simon Newport, Mayor of Waterford in 1792 and 1824, and his wife Jane, daughter of the Venerable Alexander Alcock, Archdeacon of Lismore. On 9 July 1803 he was appointed Ensign in the 58th Regiment, just two days before the passing of the Army of Reserve Act for Ireland. He was only 14 years-old. The 58th Foot (the Rutlandshire Regiment) were raising a second battalion, one of nineteen raised that summer 'for limited service in Great Britain and Ireland', of which four were specifically raised in Ireland.

The Brophy Papers (52 items) and the Marlborough Clake-Douglas Papers (15 items) consist of notes and newspaper cuttings relating to research carried out by both men 1890 - 1920 relating to history of Carlow town and county, of no genealogical value. All of their research was published in the Nationalist, various books, journals and Carlow Feis Programme 1922.

As far as I remember I think the original Pack-Beresford Papers of several hundred documents / rent books / estate papers were sold at auction for about 400 pounds...... They may have been purchased by the NLI or The National Archives. I had a few bob to spare at the time but no where to store the stuff . What remains of the Beresford / Pack items in the PPP would have little or no monetary value. Besides it is in storage now and hopefully will remain there.
