The defeat of Napoleon and the redrawing of the boundaries of Europe in 1815 led to a mass demobilization of the English army and a huge depression of farm prices. This was followed in the 1820s by much discontent in Ireland ("Whiteboy" activity) and the imposition of Martial Law (the "Insurrection Act") in most of Ireland.

Esq of Castletown; and other county gentlemen, came into town yesterday in expectation of meeting Mr. Blackburne. His presence, however, was totally unnecessary; and Mr. Vokes and another Magistrate in the County Court-House, and read his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant's Proclamation, withdrawing the provisions of the Insurrection Act from this County, the entire of which is now relieved from its operation. It is ardently to be wished that the peasantry will evince a due sense of this indulgence, and refrain from any further violations of the law, which must ever terminate to their disadvantage. Since the restrictions of the Insurrection Act have been withdrawn from Kerry, that County continues in a peaceable state; and it is earnestly hoped that Government will encourage the good disposition of the peasantry, by affording aid to the agricultural and commercial interests in that quarter.--Chronicle.

I learned Maurice Flynn was born in Tralee before 1820 from the 1861 census in Holborn England. I am trying to find his bapt. record or his marriage. I have an old notation that he married Bridget Flaherty in 1833 but don't remember where I got that info.I knew his wife was Honora but just learned her last name was Flaherty.I would appreciate any help or assistance. He did have a brother Patrick born in Tralee. Dolores .

I was born in Duluth and know a bit about genealogy research there and in Minnesota. I don't recall "Shea" names when I was growing up in the 50s.

Ray, I think that you have probably the most likely explanation. In 1830, the Protestant population of the parish was 58, out of a gross population of 764. By 1860, the Protestant population had fallen to 18, out of a gross population of 470. After the 1880s the parish was combined with that of Leighmoney, and then Inishannon, so possibly the Protestant community had shrunk hugely. My g.g. grandfather was definitely renting the church as well as the other buildings. It states this categorically in the Rate Books and the Cancellation Books. At one time, up to the 1980s, the foundations of the church could be seen, but now it is very, very overgrown with nettles and brambles, and only the taller headstones of the graves in the surrounding churchyard can be seen, although the stone wall around the whole site is in a pretty good state. A neighbouring family offered to clear the site and make it approachable but were refused by the local authorities on the grounds that there are Catholic AND Protestant graves sharing the churchyard, I don't quite understand the reasoning in this, but then local authorities are always a mystery unto themselves..... What I am really wishing is that someone would read my postings, and come on-line and say " Oh, you want to read So-and-So's local history of Templemichael, it has all the information in there "........ There are so many local histories here in England, and I am sure in many other countries also, but I don't know of any for this area in Cork. The nearest Heritage Centre is a few miles west in Bandon, and apparently that only really covers the history of Bandon Town. Sigh!! So I will keep on digging..... Mary

Mary: "What I am really wishing is that someone would read my postings, and come on-line and say " Oh, you want to read So-and-So's local history of Templemichael, it has all the information in there "........" Wouldn't we all love to have those definitive histories of our ancestors' home parishes and townlands? But you know what would happen? We would read them once, put them back on the bookshelf and cease doing our research and missing out on the frustrations, tedium and joy of genealogical research. <GR> And we wouldn't have friends from around the world with whom we can share those frustrations, tedium and joy.

Could anybody out there with some specialist knowledge give some help on an interesting puzzle that has had me wondering for some time? It concerns a very small township in the parish of Ballinhassig / Templemichael just south west of Cork city off the road to Inishannon. In 1812 a church was built ( Church of Ireland ) and a couple of years later a glebe house for the Rector, J.R. Meade, plus a school and schoolhouse. By 1860 the glebe house was " in a state of decay" and in 1884 the church " was taken down and it's glebe was sold". And in the Rate books it states that in 1885 " the old glebehouse was burned". In 1880, my g.g. grandfather is listed in the Rate Books in the Valuation Office in Dublin as renting from the incumbent Rev J Grant in fee, 5 acres of glebe, plus the dilapidated glebe house plus the schoolhouse - plus the church!!!??? By 1885 his son, my g. grandfather was listed as renting in fee the 5 acres of glebe only, later a house was added. My questions are these; 1 - How could my g.g. grandfather be renting the church? I can understand perhaps renting the land, and even maybe the schoolhouse ( his daughter in law, my g. grandmother was meant to have been a teacher ) but how could the church be rented by him? Especially as it was still in use. 2 - Is it at all possible, given the period ( 1884 - 1885 ) that the Land Wars could have come into it? I can find no hard evidence, but there is a family story of "land trouble and dispossession" at this period. Does anybody have any idea of further sources of information covering this period of time and place ( Cork )? I have looked at the Church of Ireland sources for the parish, but they only state the bare facts, and not the history behind it. By the way, my family were Catholic, although they were buried in the little churchyard along with their Protestant neighbours. Mary

Mary: I have no knowledge, but I am never without opinions and guesses. By 1885 there may have been no parishioners left in at that CofI parish near Cork City. But parishes were always deemed to be sources of income for pastors and bishops. So it probably would have been permissible for a pastor to rent out the church building if it was not needed any longer.

Edward Shea was my great grandfather, born in Kerry, Ireland. He went to Nova Scotia, Canada by about 1847 where his children, Mary Ellen, John, Edward and Bridget were born. Edward, his wife (my great grandmother) and family were found on the 1881 Canadian census in Georgetown Royal, Kings County, Prince Edward Island, Canada. He married Mary Diggens either in Kerry or Nova Scotia. Edward and his sons were coopers. After 1881 Edward and Mary's children moved to Duluth, Minnesota, United States of America. It is uncertain whether Edward and Mary followed them or remained in Prince Edward Island. Any suggestions or information about this family and other family relatives would be much appreciated! N.

Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2007 12:32:20 -0700 From: "Jean R." <jeanrice@cet.com> Subject: [IRELAND] Dress in Ireland - Earliest Times To: <IRELAND-L@rootsweb.com> SNIPPET: "A sandstone weight of spindle-whorl form, found in Ballyalton, Co. Down, suggests that, from neolithic time, wool was spun and woven in Ireland. The earliest clothing fragments extant are pieces of woollen cloth of about 1000 BC found in Killymoon, Co. Tyrone, in 1995, and wool cloth and a horsehair belt found in Cromagh, Co. Antrim, in 1904 and dated to about 750 BC. These pieces show that in the late Bronze Age vertical weighted looms, as well as looms for braid, were in use to weave fabrics in plain and sophisticated designs. According to the 'Annals of the Four Masters,' Tighearmas, king of Ireland, was the first person, in 1538 BC, to dye clothes purple, blue, and green, while eight years later Eochaid Eadghadach (Eochaid the cloth designer) ordered that the colours of clothes should denote the wearer's rank in society. The dating is suspect, but the substance carries weight, as in early Ireland the colour and length of the brat (mantle) worn was related to a person's rank in society. Status was also suggested through embroidery and the application of decorative braids, particularly to the colourful brat. The white or gel (bright or unbleached) tunic worth throughout the early historical period suggests a Roman or classical influence, as does the introduction and development of fibulae which indicate the use of fine cloth, possibly linen. The Roman code of hygiene may also have influenced the dictate that certain classes in society had their clothes washed every day. Class rather than gender was thus the main distinguishing feature in dress styles in early Ireland. The less well-off workers wore short tunics and skimpy mantles or tight trews with a small jacket, all dyed in less expensive colours. As elsewhere throughout Europe, from about the 8th century women in Ireland began to wear layers of tunics and married women started to cover their heads. Men of all ranks changed to favour the styles worn throughout the Viking world: trews with about knee-length tunics. Irishmen also wore a cochallo or hooded mantle and a large mantle overall. By the 10th century the regular supply of Andalusian and Byzantine silks, satins, and gold braids added luxury to the homespun and locally dyed woollens and linens. In the late 12th century the Anglo-Normans introduced technical improvements such as horizontal loom and probably the fulling mill, spinning wheel, and carding, much of the machinery known to this day. They also introduced a new dress style. The wealthy followed the modes of London and western Europe: men wore breeches, kirtles (a sleeved full-length garment worn over the smock and under the surcoat), and surcoats (a long, loose outer garment), while women wore a chemise under a kirtle of fine wool. Mantles, tied with a lace on the chest, were worn by both sexes, although of different lengths for each. The clothes worn by both sexes were colorful and the belts were frequently heavy, ornate, and expensive. The clean-shaven, short-hair appearance of the male contrasted with the native Irish who favoured facial hair and a culan hairstyle in which the front of the head was shaved and the hair left long at the back. The adoption by the colonists or their descendants of native styles in dress and hair was condemned in the Statute of Kilkenny and other medieval enactments." -- Excerpt, Mairead DUNLEVY, "Dress in Ireland" (1989).

Thank you to everybody who replied to my query about mid 19th century Marriage records in Killarney, it's always an encouragement to hear from others in what can be a long, long, frustrating slog! But..... I have found loads of cousins in Ireland, England, and Australia that I never knew existed. And also the sadness of a great grandmother and great great grandmother from Kerry and Cork, dying of TB and exhaustion in the workhouse. Mary

Ann I'm pretty sure that Reid and Reidy are two different names. All of my Reidys came from the Castleisland, County Kerry, area and there are a bunch of us searching and trying to make contacts with each other. This is a pretty up-to-date list as far as I know. Ray Marshall Minneapolis Castleisland, County Kerry, Reidys My ggf, Jeremiah Reidy, emigrated from Kerry in 1872. I was fortunate in that I had two great aunts who were able to tell me exactly where he was born. I have been engaged in researching the family since the 1970s and have discovered a whole raft of Reidys from Castleisland and vicinity - 31 families or branches of families, to be exact. There were over 100 families with the name Reidy in County Kerry on the 1901 or 1911 Census. Other major concentrations of Reidys are found in County Clare and County Tipperary. I have read that there were many in County Derry (Londonderry) back in the days before the Scottish Plantations in 1600. My Jeremiah came from Meenleitrim North townland just north of Castleisland in Castleisland Civil Parish. Meenleitrim North and South were located in Brosna Catholic Parish until 1916 until the western, Castleisland portion of that parish split off from Brosna and formed Knocknagoshel Catholic parish. If you can't find them in Castleisland, numbers of Reidy families are found in Griffiths Valuation in the following County Kerry Civil Parishes: Castleisland (72); Ballincuslane (13); O'Brennan (8); Ballymacelligott (5); Killeentierna (5); (Novahal 5); Currans (4); Dysert (2); Duagh (1); and Brosna (1). These are all near Castleisland. Other Kerry Civil Parishes with a Significant number of Reidy families can be found in the following Civil Parishes: Ballyduff (9); Tralee (7); Killarney (6) and Kilmoyly (5). Here is a list of what I have found on the Kerry list and the people researching them. Unfortunately, as many as there are, we haven't been able to put much together.

My great-great grandmother was Mary Ready, married to Dennis Sullivan also of County Kerry. Mary Ready Sullivan was born in Benlietrum (Meenlietrum). According to her death certificate, her father's name was John. We have two different dates of birth for her. According to family lore, she was born on Good Friday, 1842. According to her death certificate, she was born on January 10, 1836. Family lore also has that her father served in the British military - possibly Royal Navy. Mary had a brother John. According to the 1900 census, Mary came to the United States in 1854. According to the 1910 census, it was 1850. Dennis Sullivan came later in 1855. Mary Ready and Dennis Sullivan were married in Pittsburgh, PA in March of 1856. Witnesses to the marriage were Michael Mulvohil and Helena Costello. According to records that were in my great-aunt's attic, Mary's mother's name could possibly had been Sarah Albina or Alvina. However, on her death certificate, her mother's name was not listed. Mary died in St. Louis in October of 1922 at her daughter-in-law's home. [Also] My Great-great grandmother was Mary Reidy (also spelled Ready), born in Benleitrim aka Meenleitrim Good Friday, 1842. She married Dennis Sullivan in Pittsburgh, PA in 1856, and the family was in Missouri by 1860 (Hi John). She died October 22, 1922 in St. Louis, and was taken back to be buried in Sedalia, Missouri. She had two brothers that we know of, John Joseph Ready of Meridian, Mississippi and a brother Maurice that was in Vicksburg, MS. (Hi George). The family story that helped George and my sister and I to connect was about my great-uncle John Berchman Sullivan. John B. was a U.S. Representative for Missouri in the 1940's. He died in D.C. in January of 1951. His wife, Lenore Kretzer Sullivan later ran for and won his seat. She served for 24 years (we can blame child safety caps on asprin on her). George's family story had them as being Mary's son and daughter-in-law. John B was actually her grandson. On the 1880 census for Kelly Twp. Cooper County, Missouri,! there was a Daniel Reidy (also looks like Rudy) that lived on the farm next door to Dennis and Mary. He and his wife had several daughters and two boys listed as others, last name Murphy. Only time we have seen them, not sure if related.

My husband and I recently returned from Sneem. As we were driving to Cahirciveen one morning, 2 tour buses were stopped on the side of the road outside Waterville. The "tourists" were taking pix of 2 reeks of turf on the side of the road as well as the bog where the turf was cut by machine. My husband's sister in Kenmare had bought a tractor of turf from Waterville and gave us a couple of bags of it. There is something about the smell of turf - I remember when I first went to Ireland in the 1970s, everyone burned turf. Now in Sneem there is only 1 man who cuts the bog.

Hi Fintan, I got my permission faxed to the National Library, it was fairly simple. I was given a number to phone which I did (from a public phone in the Library), went off somewhere for a couple of hours and when I came back again I was able to view the films for the two parishes I had requested, I am not sure whether I would need to contact them again if I wanted to view any additional films. My feeling though is for people traveling long distances it might be best to get the permission in advance in case of any hiccups like an Eircom strike or something. Civil records for non Catholic marriages do start in 1845 but not the births as far as I am aware. I think all births (and deaths) start in 1864, although I have a few that weren't registered at all. Thanks for the will info, very interesting that some may have escaped the Four Courts fire.

Hi I think Church of Ireland records date back quite a way . I seaarched at the head office in Dublin for my ggrandfather Matthew Fawkner's birth in Balbriggan Co Dublin and found it in 1797. So that is going back much further in time . I can not remember exactly where in Dublin it was ,but a short bus ride. Look on the web for the address. Trish in Sydney Hi, birth certs werent destroyed in Four Courts fire afaik,just census returns. However dont think official registration of births began by time James left for England. You could try church records. National library in Dublin have microfilm of catholic church records. Not sure about Church of Ireland or presbeterian records. Best bet is to write or phone local church to see if they have any clues. Regards, Fintan ----- Original Message ---- From: carole_ watts <carole_watts@talk21.com> To: IRL-KERRY@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, 5 June, 2007 1:14:15 PM Subject: [IRL-KERRY] LOVETT James b. c. 1817 Killarney James LOVETT was my GGGrandfather. He was a tailor and came to London sometime before 1838 because in that year he married in St Mary's Church, St Marylebone. He married a Lucy Moncrieffe from Cork b.c.1814. James signed with a mark and his name on marriage is recorded as LOVAT but thereafter he, his wife and all the offspring used the spelling LOVETT. I can track his life in England by census returns - he lived first in Somers Town [St Pancras], later in South London and died in a workhouse infirmary in Mile End New Town aged 75 years in 1892. Lucy died in 1859 aged 45 in Somers Town and James remarried and had more children. I've recently visited Killarney in the hopes of finding some information about James' family of origin and earlier life but I have drawn a blank so far, partly because the centrally held birth records for kerry were destroyed in Dublin in 1922 and partly because I don't know in which parish he was born. Since he was a tailor, I guess he likely lived in or near Killarney Town. I'm also not sure about his religion. At that time in Kerry almost everyone will have been Roman Catholic, but James married in a Church of England Church. His father is recorded on the marriage certificate as John LOVAT[sic], labourer. I've comissioned a search but will not hear anything until later in June. Any help would be much appreciated. I asked, while in Kerry, at Tourist Information Centres and Registrars and tried the advertised Genealogical Record Centre in Killarney which proved to be entirely inaccessible. Kerry is so beautiful and the people were so friendly and welcoming, I feel proud that my ancestors came from this part of the world. Surely they have left a mark somewhere?

>I believe most of the Wills of Ireland were also destroyed in the Four >Courts incident, Fintan. The National Archives in Kevin Street have index books for wills. Spotted a will from my great-grandfather from Keel-Kilgarrylander from 1860's (near castlemaine) and retrieved it with help from a professional. It was lodged in Limerick office in 1800's so just wondering if other Kerry wills survived? Initially when I filled out a 'seach request' in National Archives they couldnt find it but decided to hire a professional for one and only time for an hour and she found it. AFAIK kerry wills would have been deposited in Limerick or Cork. They may have been moved to four courts but some must have survived. In index books in National Archives cover all 'perogative'? wills for whole country. They are quite easy to search through from what I remember but just give a name and area.
