You're right. I hope no one would think that all Protestants are bad. I'm Buddhist. I'm intrigued by all social and religious events/beliefs.

ANGLO-CELT DECEMBER 29, 1848 THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH At an ordination by the Lord Bishop of Meath, in the Church of Ardbracan, for the Diocese of Meath, on Sunday, the 24th December, 1848, the following persons were admitted to the holy order of Priests:-- The Rev. Godwin SWIFT, for the curacy of Dunshauglin; the Rev. John Parsons WETHERALL, for the curacy of Laracor; the Rev. James Alexander HAMILTON, for the curacy of Trim; the Rev. John William BRISCOE, for the curacy of Foyran. And for the holy order of Deacon-- The Rev. Samuel Wesley DAVIS, for the curacy of Athlone. The numbers on such occasions in the diocese of Meath, are generally small, because ordinations are held frequently. As an ordination is held whenever required, if there be two or more candidates, provided they make application, and prove their qualifications, at least six weeks before the canonical day in each quarter of the year. ===================================================== BURGLARLY AND ROBBERY (From our own Correspondent) BELTURBET, Dec. 28th, 1848--It would be very horrifying to relate in detail a most savage and atrocious outrage enacted on Christmas night, on the lands of Kilnaglere, within about three miles of this town. The house of James MAGUIRE, an old man of seventy-one years of age, was broken into by four demons in human form, at the midnight hour--and his daughter coming down from the room was stabbed on the arm in three places--the old man was also knocked down and stabbed in four places on the body. The heartless ruffians cried out, "the purse, the purse," and though it was handed to them, in amount £1 10s., together with some little tea and sugar, remaining after their Christmas enjoyment, they ransacked the house, and carried off some portion of their wearing apparel and bed clothes, &c. Strange to say, that from their screams they could obtain no succour, although they had neighbours residing within a few yards of them. Sub-Inspector GIBBONS, accompanied by Doctor WADE, almost immediately visited the scene of outrage--the latter gentleman with his known ability, probed one of the wounds over the heart of the poor old man, and from it extracted a file of about five inches long, but which, used as a dagger, was separated from its handle in their attempt to murder him. It is thought their victim cannot live, though he still lingers. This outrage was perpetrated near the place where Mr. MOORE's life was attempted. ==================================================== BIRTHS On the 24th December, in this town, the wife of Mr. Charles MAGUIRE, pawnbroker, of a son. December 25, at Philipstown Rectory, the lady of the Reverend Lord John BERESFORD, of a son. December 25, at Dublin Castle, Mrs. Frederick WILLIS, of a son. December 24, at the house of her father, Richard MANDERS, Esq., Mountjoy-square, the lady of Major OWEN, late 17rh Regt., of a daughter. ___________________________________________________________ MARRIAGES December 23, by the Hon. and Venerable the Archdeacon PLUNKET, John Davy BRETT, Esq., Captain of the 17th Lancers, to Georgina, younger daughter of Colonel R.C.

ANGLO-CELT DECEMBER 22, 1848 CAVAN UNION. ADJOURNED INVESTIGATION ON THE LATE VICE-GUARDIANS Some weeks ago, as our readers will recollect, this investigation was first commenced at Kilnaleck, before Captain HOTHAM, P.L.I., pro tem. for this union. The only charge then gone into--namely, reckless extravagance in administering out-door relief in that division, was fully proved. William SMITH, Esq., Drumheel, acting on behalf of the ratepayers, demanded a further inquiry into several other charges; but Captain HOTHAM declined entering into them until he would commun- icate with the Commissioners. He therefore adjourned the inquiry, and reported on it as far as it had proceeded. Mr. SMITH and the gentlemen acting with him continued to press their demand for a further investigation, objecting, at the same time, to the whole case. A lengthy correspondence ensued, the major part of which has already appeared in this journal.... [Transcriber's note: The following article/editorial summarizes the investigation/trial.] Thus terminated the most important investigation ever held in Ireland on the working of the poor law. ================================================= CAVAN UNION--THE INVESTIGATION We report at great length, the important investigation held in Cavan workhouse on Friday and Saturday last. Mr. SMITH conducted the case on behalf of the ratepayers, with great skill and judgment, efficiently aided by Mr. VERNON. The charges preferred against the Vice-Guardians were four:--absence and neglect of duty; extravagance in travelling charges and in the management of Ballymachugh fever hospital; partiality in the distribution of contracts; and collusion in the repairs of the Swellan hospital. The first charge dwindled down into thirteen day's absence; the neglect of duty was not proved. The sums drawn for travelling expenses form almost the only debateable point, and when we take into account impossibility of a gentleman recollecting the multitudinous little items he expended during a period of eight months, we cannot worder at the disparity which exists betwwen the present APPARENT outlay and the BONA FIDA one THEN. At all events, we should not contort that noble principle of the law which awards the accused the benefit of a doubt. The charges of partiality, or rather wasteful neglect, in contracting for frieze was boldly advanced; and as the characters of several respectable people are concerned we decline saying whether in our opinion the charge was sustained or not. The evidence, with Mr. MOORE's explana- tory declaration, is now before the public, and they can form their own opinion of it. The charges respecting the Ballymachugh and Swellan hosptials signally failed. The latter was a mistake arising out of an error of the clerk's which our worthy and enterprising townsman, Mr. HAGUE clearly and satisfactorily explained. Ballymachugh hospital was not under the control of the Vice-Guardians while Mr. BATES held office here, consequently he stood acquitted of the extravagance (supposed or real) of that institution. By the way, we publish to-day a letter from W. B. JENNINGS, Esq., M.D., on that subject, in answer to a former one which appeared in our columns. Mr. SMITH and Mr. VERNON disclaimed frequently during the trial the idea of victimising Mr. BATES--they only warred with the system and not the man; and they warred well. The chairman, by his clear-sighted- ness and impartiality, won the admiration of all present. MR. BATES was collected and dignified, and defended himself with the calm con- fidence of an innocent man. Altogether, the scene was imposing, and the parties immediately interested momentous. There was one species of evidence we were sorry to see advanced, for if it obtained countenance we might exclaim REQUIESCAT IN PACE to all social intercourse. The charman, however, very judiciously rejected it. One point was brought out deserving of particular notice. Guardians and Vice-Guardians will henceforth remember that if not illegal, it is IRREGULAR to issue contracts for anything connected with the union, amounting to the sum of £10 and upwards, without advertising. We may remark, PAR PARENTHESE, that we differ with Mr. CRAWFORD's definition of ILLEGALITY. If an act BE CONTRARY TO LAW, it must manifestly be ILLEGAL, and therefore irregularity is too mild a term to apply to it. ================================================== CAVAN SESSIONS The following is a calendar of the prisoners to be tried at the Cavan sessions on the 27th inst.:-- Anne M'CABE, Mary LIDDY, sealing five turkeys from Margaret M'CABE; Mary KELLY, Anne KELLY, robbing John PRATT of the sum of nineteen pounds; T.

BOYLE, riot, assault, &c. ================================================== ARREST FOR ROBBERY--A well known character, named FAGAN, was arrested some days ago, by that efficient police officer, constable HEFFERNAN of Grousehall station, on a charge of having been engaged in a series of robberies. FAGAN is now in Cavan gaol abiding his trial. OUTRAGE--An occurrence that had very nearly eventuated fatally, took place in the townland of Tullinchin, parish of Larah, on the evening of Saturday the 16th ult. As a number of young men from the townland of Carrickacrummin, were returning from a funeral, they were overtaken by another young man, some angry words passed between them, and the latter, who was a stranger, pulled a pistol from his breast and fired, happily without effect. A hot pursuit ensued, and luckily, he made his escape, dropping his hat. Had he been overtaken, nothing could save him from their vengeance. The case was regularly reported to Sergeant HEFFERNAN, of the above station, and a cue to his discovery has been obtained. A fat bullock, the property of Mr. James BRENNON, was killed on the lands of Newtown, near Moynalty, on the night of Tuesday last; the flesh all cut off and carried away, leaving the skin and bones behind. Four heifers, the property of Mr. Simon REILLY, were stolen from his premises at Arduamagh, on the night of Friday the 15th instant. ___________________________________________________________ BIRTHS December 18, at Cara House, county Fermanagh, the lady of Henry JACKSON, Esq., of a son.

Listers, A good, scholarly book on this subject is F.S. Foster's "History of Modern Ireland, 1600-1972". Published by Penguin Books, 1988. The author questions whether the Battle of the Boyne was an Orange Victory, or a question of the Catholic Army being snatched from the Jaws of Victory. Papal politics were involved, and on & on. Like Jane I have little patience for anybody running around proclaiming their righteous Christianity, or any other religion, and then in the name of Christ like figure proceeding to slaughter their neighbors. There is NO PLACE FOR THE SWORD, BOMB, OR BULLET in any socio-cultural disagreement. I thought it was James II at the Boyne, and his sister who was married to William of Orange. I can never keep the British Royals apart, not even today. I have enough trouble with my own relatives. At a St. Patrick's Day Parade in South Boston, MA, an Army Engineer Bn., wearing there branch colored scarves of Orange, were booed by the spectators. They had NO IDEA why they were booed! The Fort Devens Post Commander was livid. The Orange, White, and green tri-color is patterned after the French tri-color. This flag of the Irish Republic was presented by some Parisian ladies to William Smith O'Brien in about 1845, when Smith O'Brien was in France trying to drum up support for an Irish revolt against the English. Smith O'Brien was a Protestent.

Karen, Here is an interesting site: http://www.a2a.org.uk/default.asp If you search on the phrase Co* Cavan then you will get 20 hits. One of them was as follows: Political correspondence, 1855. From Samuel Moore [Conservative Committee, Cavan] Somerset Archive and Record Service, ref. DD\HY/24/9/100 I would guess then that the Conservative Committee was a political animal. -- Cheers, Colin Ferguson

Just going through my saved emails and re-read the "Anglo-Celt" sent on Feb. 23. The first part was a funeral for an Orangeman and that reminded me that my Aunt mentioned her Dad, my Grandfather born in 1881, was an Orangeman. They lived in the Townland of Drumgrannon, Clonfeacle Parish, Moy on a farm. His father, born in 1855, was a farmer and Land Bailiff for Lord Charlemont. Questions: Could I have a quick lesson on what an "Orangeman" was and if the son was one would the father be one? Would there have been records kept on meetings, etc.?

I have found a short history written about my grandchildren's I. Farley family. In it it says his father Patrick Farley born abt. 1786/87 served under the Duke of Wellington during the French War. Is there anywhere I could find a record of his serving under the Duke of Wellington? The Farley family was from Co. Cavan (no parish, town, etc. known at this time.) Thank You. Elaine

An Orangeman is a Protestant. They are the people who march in July. The name is from William of Orange. (My kids are both born in July -- hence they are "Wee-Willies". My family in Derry always tells me to say their birthdays are in June.) My parents always said that the greatest insult was people wearing orange on St. Patrick's day (mind you the Irish flag has orange in it). Hopefully someone will give a more educated answer than mine. Mo Clannessie@aol.com wrote: Just going through my saved emails and re-read the "Anglo-Celt" sent on Feb. 23.

ANGLO-CELT DECEMBER 15, 1848 OVERHOLDING SMALL TENEMENTS Ellen HEALY and Luke KELLY were summond by Jane EVANS. to show cause why they refused to surrender premises they held from her on the Brickfields road, for which they were weekly tenanted at 2s. per week. The parties appeared at the Police-office on Thursday. This was a proceeding under the late act, of the 11th and 12th Victoria, chap. 28 intituled(sic) "An Act to amend the law of imprisonment for debt in Ireland, and to improve the remedies for the recovery of debts, and of possession of tenements situate in cities and towns in certain cases."..... Jane EVANS proved that she was not paid any rent for fifteen weeks, and that she had frequently requested the tenants to leave. The Bench ordered a warrant to issue to the police to hand over possession, if the tenants had not relinquished with the time specified by the Act ==================================================== REMEDY FOR DAMP WALLS--Boil two quarts of tar with two ounces of kitchen grease for a quarter of an hour, in an iron pot; add some of this tar to a mixture of slaked lime and powdered glass, which have passed through a flour sieve, and being died completely over the fire in an iron pot, in the portion of two parts of lime and one of glass, till the mixture becomes of the consistence of thin plaster. This cement must be used immediately after being mixed.... ==================================================== CAVAN UNION--REPAYMENT OF GOVERNMENT LOAN The Vice-Guardians of this Union transmitted during the week the sum of 4,341l 8s. 1d. to the Paymaster of Civil Services, being the first instalment in repayment of the Government Loan advanced to the relief Committees during the late famine. ==================================================== BIRTHS On the instant, at Eastersnow Glebe, county Roscommon, the lady of the Rev.

The attention of Mr. BLACK, the house-suregon, was called to the patient (a woman) in consequence of her being attacked with cramps.... __________________________________________________________ PROMOTION WALTER LUCAS, ESQ.--We are informed by a correspondent, that Mr. LUCAS, manager of the Cootehill branch of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, for the last seven years, has been promoted to the management of the Drogheda branch of that Bank, vice Reuben SIMMS, Esq., appointed Poor-Law auditor. ================================================== A HORSE AND COW SUFFOCATED--Caution to Smokers. A few days since Mr. Ralph COPELAND, accompanied by John GRAHAM, Esq., both of Enniskillen, went to Black Lion, county Cavan, for the purpose of enjoying a shooting excursion. On arriving at the house of Mr. COPELAND's brother where they intended stopping, the driver put the horse and cushions of the car into the cow house, and shortly after lit his pipe. When he had smoked for some time, he left the premises; but unfortunately a spark had fallen from the pipe which originated a fire, and before the fact became known his own horse, and a fine cow which was in the house, were suffocated. The night being exceedingly stormy, the flames rapidly progressed, and effected considerable damage in a store-house adjoining. Indeed it is generally supposed that a few minutes longer would have endangered the whole village. The building was insured up to the latter end of September last, when the policy was let expire.--Armagh Guardian. On Wednesday last an inquest was held on the body of a woman named Catherine DORAN, at Bealnamulla, near Athboy (Roscommon side.) The jury returned a verdict of "Died from destitution."--Westmeath Independent. In the last three months more money has been taken from Ireland, in possession of Emigrants to the United States of America, than for three previous years. The Rev. W. H. MAXWELL, of the diocese of Tuam, author of the "Stories of Waterloo," has published "Queen's Bench Sketches." _________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT DECEMBER 8, 1848 EMIGRANTS FROM CAVAN WORKHOUSE The sixty female emigrants from this institution, the departure of whom we noticed last week, has excited some comments in the newspapers. These emigrants, for appearance and training, were vastly superior to any sent from other poor-houses. This must be gratifying to the Vice-Guardians and their subordinate officers. ___________________________________________________________ BELTURBET It is lamentable to state that several outrages have occurred about this town. On Friday night last, Mr. ROGERS' store, in Church-street, was broken into, so early as between nine and ten o'clock at night, and about six cwt. of potatoes carried off, "without let or hindrance." A few nights ago, a man of the name of M'MANUS, having sold some wheat here, on his way home was met by an armed party, about half a mile beyond Kilconey, who because he offered any resistance, was savagely beaten, and robbed of more than three pounrds, the produce of his hard industry. Another person, a gentleman's servant, having with him an ass and cart, in which he had a quantity of flour, bread, groceries, &c., was proceeding on the same night home to his master's residence, and was robbed of all, with the exception of some oatmeal. It is fearful to contemplate such a state of things, as neither life nor property is safe under this regime of spoliation and terror. ===================================================== PRESENTMENT SESSIONS CO. OF CAVAN The winter Presentment Sessions for the barony of Tullygarvey, was held in the court house of Cootehill, on Friday week, before the following magistrates and assocated cess-payers:-- Lieutenant-Colonel Henry T. CLEMENTS, Ashfield Lodge; the Sheriff Elect for the county, in the chair; Charles James ADAMS, Esq, Shinan House; T. E. L. CLEMENTS, Esq., Rathkenny House, Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq., Cavan; and Thos. JOHNSTON, Esq., Redhill demesne. Associated Cesspayers--Edward REILLY, Beagh; J. MARSDEN, MIlls; Robert HOWE, Killybandrick; and John DAVIS, Redhills. The ordinary presentments for payment of contractors, for keeping roads in repair, were passed without observation, save where Alexander ARMSTRONG, Esq., C. E., the very efficient surveyor of the county, objected and withheld his certificate for roads not being in repair, when the presentments were either disallowed or respited for his certificate which he promised to award.... Messrs. ADAMS, L. CLEMENTS, and others, as well as Mr. ARMSTRONG, stating that this was not the period when the county, particularly the over-taxed and over-burdened ratepayers, were all but ruined, to increase the burdens of the people by the impoosition of additional taxation in the shape of county cess, after which, they proceeded to consider the applications for compensation for malicious injuries and burnings. Mary M'GUINNES claimed £1 7s.6d. as compensation for the malicious burning of her house, at Corrygorman, between Redhills and Belturbet, on the 24th February last, which she swore, was burnt, because she was about becoming a Protestant, to induce a pensioner, who resided near her, (who, was himself a Protestant,) to marry her, but who notwith- standing she became a Protestant, declined to marry him on account of her children. Mr. John DAVIS, one of the associated ratepayers, (who is also a Protestant,) said the applicant was a person of very bad fame, and was not entitled to compensation for the house, she then had no title to it, and that although she had received compensation from the landlord for the possession, it was the general impression on the minds of the people of the neighbourhood, that she had set fire to the house herself, for the purpose of procuring compensation for the loss of the house from the grand jury. Mary M'GUINNESS further swore that an old woman, who was going to be sworn as a witness against her, told her, after the house was burnt, that if she had good faith, her house would not have been burned (laughter). The application was also opposed by Mr. GAURAN, Mr. M'MAHON and ohter respectable rate- payers from the neighbourhood, and it was supported by Mr. LYTTLE, a road contractor, who served some of the notices for her. Application rejected. a similar application for compensation for the burning of another house, belonging to a man of the name of SMITH, was postponed to the adjourned sessions. The application of Owen WALKER, of the townland of Mayo, for £15 for compensation for the loss which he sustained by reason of a house belonging to him being maliciously burned in said townland, on the 11th of May last. He commenced by stating that he purchased the house and farm from a brother-in-law of his, who, together with his wife, lived a discontented life, and brought up an undutiful family of children. The application was allowed, notwithstanding that it was opposed by some of the inhabitants of said townland, who insisted that it was not a malicious burning. The application of Alexander TURNER, of Lislea, who claimed com- pensation for the malicious breaking of a cow's leg, was disallowed, and after the presentments for the maintenance of deserted children (the number of which are decreasing,) the court adjourned until Thursday, the 14th instant, to receive proposals for the execution of the works, which had been presented. =================================================== AWFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE IN THE QUEEN'S COUNTY On last week there was an awful casualty and loss of lives of Modu-be-bu coliery, Queen's County. The carriage of the coal and lead is effected out of the engineering pipe by the engine. The pit is more than one hundred yards deep; a man, by name Connor, attended the engineer, and, as four men were descending in the box, CONNOR neglected his business, the box descended as with the velocity of lightning, so that the unfortunate men could see nearly to the bottom of the pit by the fire emitted from the rocks, as the iron box struck them in its descent; when the box struck the bottom of the pit, the chain broke at the pully, and one hundred weight of it came down on the men in the box. A young man, by name BRENNAN, was killed dead on the moment. A young man, by name LEECH, expired after a few moments. A man, by name CANNAGH, lingered a few days, and a man, by name KEALY, escaped with only his leg broken. It is strange that KEALY has made now two marvellous escapes. Some years past, KEALY, when in the bottom of a pit, was struck by a bucket, which fell from the top of the pit; the bucket cut nearly half his cheek off; from which injury he recovered, without even his face being deformed.

I would be interested to hear from anyone connected with the ALLWELL, ALLWILL, ALWELL or ALWILL families of County Cavan. I have created a searchable list of all these surnames in the 1864-1958 GRO births/mariiages/deaths index.

Hello - You say," I have created a searchable list of all these surnames in the 1864-1958 GRO births/mariiages/deaths index." Please, could you explain what you mean? I don't know what the "GRO.... index" is, nor how to get to it. Sounds like it might be online - where? how to find it? how to create such a thing, etc. ? Thanks so much, Karen Hart Anthony Falmouth, Maine USA Original Message: ----------------- From: Richard Whitchurch-Bennett WhitBennRM@uk2.net Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2004 18:12:57 -0000 To: IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [IRL-CAVAN] ALLWELL family I would be interested to hear from anyone connected with the ALLWELL, ALLWILL, ALWELL or ALWILL families of County Cavan.

Dear List, I'm searching for information on my great grandmother, Annie(or Anna) Elizabeth McCombe daughter of Alexander, who was a solicitor. They resided in Cootehill and she married James Fraser there on 14th May 1867. They married in the Church of Dirnakish according to the rites and cermonies of the Church of England and Ireland. The record says she was of full age so I don,t know when she was born. One of the witnesses was Martha McCombe so I suppose she may have been Anna's sister or cousin. That's all I know can anyone add to that? Regards Fay Markwell Lake Macquarie. NSW

Someone was looking for Smith? 1881 Lancashire KNIGHT Henry 30 Northampton Gen Lab KNIGHT Charlotte 28 Brymbe Derby wife Davies Richard 8 Brymbe Derby son DAVIES (not noted ) son DAVIES Jane 3 (poB not noted) dau SMITH William 25 Cavan Ireland Gen Lab bro in law Any use to anyone? Jane Pearson

Closer scrutiny of my grandmother's (Margaret Smyth) birth certificate leads me to believe her mother's name was McCombe and not McCauley. (If only the clerk had printed instead of writing)...Her first name appears to be Ellen, but there again it might be a close derivative. I have a copy of a 1880 census report from the Mormons LDS, showing the family residing in Pennsylvania at that time. It shows her father as Patrick, but lists Rosana as her mother. This could possibly be the result of a second marriage. It also lists Margaret's siblings as Mary, Bridget, James and Thomas, all born between 1862 and 1874 in Co. Cavan, Ireland. Margaret was born in Arvagh, Co Cavan 21 January 1867. Any possible help in this lookup would be greatly appreciated. Need information on Patrick Smyth and Ellen (or Rosana) McCombe birth dates/sites, ancestors. Thank you.

Hi Fay, I just read your query on the Cavan site and there is a possibility that I may be able to be of some help to you. While I am not researching the McCOMBE surname, I do have the records of Dernakesh Church of Ireland, as well as the records of the Drumgoon Parish Church of Ireland [Cootehill town] and the nearby Kilsherdny Church of Ireland in Kildrumsherdan Parish. Hopefully, somewhere in those records I should be able to find something about your family. Send me a private e-mail and give me some particulars. I'll print it out and take the e-mail with me on Thursday. That is the day that I have a microfilm reader available for my use and I'll do a search for whomever you would like me to search. By the way, are you anywhere near Port MacQuarie? I have a cousin living there. Patricia St. Petersburg, Florida USA

Hi, Karen... I don't know what the duties of the Central Committee were, but I thought of you when I typed the name...
