Hi Charlie, Only leaseholders with tithable land--i.e., under cultivation--would appear in the Tithe Applotments, so that would not include priests, except under rather unusual circumstances. Also, O'Reily (or O'Reilly) is such a common name in that area that there must have been numerous persons named John O'Reily living in Northwest Longford in the 1830s.

Hi David; Thanks for the input. This is pretty interesting material. I have the Co. Longford Tithe Applotment Book index by Guy Rymsza and this indicates that there was only one John O'REILY esq. in County Longford at the time (abt 1830) and he was listed in the townland of Kilfinton, Civil Parish of Street. Questions: ...Were priests in the 1825-1835 time frame full time priests or did they have to seek support by another profession? ...Would a priest show up in the Tithe Applotments, as noted above? Thanks for the help, Charlie King David wrote: Charlie, Once again, 1826 is a long time before I was born, but: "P.P." means Parish Priest, which means John O'Reily was the pastor and not an assistant (not a "curate," C.P.). My understanding is that the registry followed the priest and did not stay in the church building/office. John O'Reily could have served several communities ("churches") within the "Parish" of Killoe. I am speculating that the origin of this custom was in 1) hiding records from the English who would persecute or kill a Catholic, and 2) providing a physically safe location for the records. I remember the interesting story that someone posted about the successor priest asking for the registry from his predecessor and the older man demanding payment.

Hi Dave, Thanks for the information on dispensations. In this particular case the marriage between James HUGHES and Bridget KELAGHER took place on 4 days prior to the dispensation. It may have been that after the marriage some new information turned up that made the dispensation necessary. There were two witnesses to each event: PATRICIO FEHELY and Anna Reynolds to the marriage and Casolo(?) McCann and Bridget Hughes to the dispensation. I will do some more 'spadework' to see if I can find out what the dispensation might have been. For instance, if I find that Bridget Hughes was some how related to a Kelagher, then this might suggest consanguinity. Question: Was Patricio Fehely noted above a Patricia or a Patrick? I and clueless when it comes to Latin. Thanks for the help, Charlie King David wrote: Hi Charlie, You're right, I think. Today dispensations are between the priest and the marriage tribunal and done on paper. We just make a notation in the record book that the dispensation was granted. The witnesses are for the marriage itself. I don't know why your dispensation needed witnesses--- but that was a long time ago. There are other "dispensations" available. One is from "canonical form" which would be for a Catholic getting married to a non-Catholic in her church. Another would be for having the wedding outside a church building (in the city park, in a hospital bed, SCUBA diving, etc). I suspect the only way you will know for sure is to review the entire record book and see if you can come up with some patterns.

Charlie, By 1826, it would no longer have been unsafe for a priest to be found with sacramental records; those aspects of the Penal Laws had been eased or in some cases eliminated by the mid-18th century, leaving only the political and economic sanctions in force. (There was a spectacular lack of logic in this, although Catholics in Ireland were glad that it had become somewhat easier to practice their religion without fear of grave consequences: the ostensible reason for the Penal Laws was the Catholics' religion, so removing that stricture and leaving the rest of the Acts in force showed just how hypocritical that justification really was.) 1826 was, however, before Catholic Emancipation in 1829, which repealed all remaining provisions of the Penal Laws. Officially, before the latter date, there was no hierarchy anywhere in the British Isles, so recordkeeping had fallen into disuse with no ecclesiastical superiors to insist on it. There was also a grave shortage of priests, since Ireland was still dependent on Irish priests trained abroad, and it was technically illegal to seek such preparation through most of the 18th century. My g-g-g-g-g-uncle, William O'Higgins was the first Biashop of Ardagh after Catholic Emanciptation, and a study of his surviving papers shows just what a concern the shortage of priests was clear into the mid-1830s. The lack of church facilities and lack of clerical discipline among priests unaccustomed to superivison were also serious preoccupations. Recordkeeping accordingly took a back seat.

Dear David, I have not been actively researching County Longford for long, but I came across a book I plan to order. I have no idea what family names are mentioned other than O'Farrel and Kelly. "Longford Essays in County History", Raymond Gillespie & Gerard Moran, Editors ISBN # 0 946640 51 3 " A very valuable addition to our understanding of one county... any native of the county or anybody interested in history generally will find that it illumninates a hidden corner of the past"- Stephen Colins, The Sunday Press "Longford Essays in County History is the first full scale study of the county since 1886 in which 8 leading hsitorians combine to examine the issues of lnad, religion and politics form the 17th century to the present" You can find the review at: http://www.lilliputpress.ie/listbook.html?oid=2732953 I came across the book while searching for Dowdalls in County Longford. Part of the review - "The book concludes with Documents in Longford History - valuable source material for reader and local hsitorian- from hitherto unpublished 1682 'Description of the County of Longford 'by Nicholas DOWDALL, to Arthur Young's 1776 Tour... Some Dowdalls from County Longford immigrated to Perth, Canada in the 1800s. There was a Father Patrick Sylvester Dowdall in Canada. I am trying to connect the modern Dowdall families with the the 1500-1700 Dowdalls. I am working on the canonization of Venerable James Dowdall who was a merchant mariner, born in Drogheda and martyred in Exeter in 1599. Hopefully I will be able to locate his descendants. The Dowdalls originated in County Louth and then through marriage gained lands in Counties Dublin, Meath, Westmeath and County Longford (in the 1600s) as well as a few other areas. An aricle about Venerable James Dowdall was published in Seanchas Ard Mhacha (Armagh Diocesan Historical Journal) in 2004.

In a book that I have Killoe History of a County Longford Parish by Fr. Owen Devaney there is a section about the parish priest Fr. John O'Reilly (1825-1860) and the two churches he resided over were in Cullyfad and Enneybegs. Ennybegs church is St. Mary's. Cullyfad church was St. Oliver's Plunkett's. Father O'Reilly died in April of 1860 and was replaced by Fr. Bernard O'Reilly. Also listed in The Tithe Applotments (1826-1834) section of the book there is a James Hughes in Ennybegs there is also a James listed in OHill. As Hughes is a very popular name along with James I have no ides if either of these could be related to you. There were many McCann's listed also but not Casola or anything sounding like that. There were no Kelagher's listed that I could find. In the book by David Leahy County Longford Survivors of the Great Famine which has an index for the Griffith's Valuation there were some Kelagher's listed along with many Hughes and McCann's. In another book by David Leahy County Longford and It's People which has an index for the 1901 census I find no Kelagher's but Hughes and McCann. Good Luck in your search hope this has been of some help. Ellenjane **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

Hi Charlie, Interesting questions. First, I have never seen a priest referred to as "Esq." The Esq's are usually attorneys (of course, he could have been both a priest and attorney -- as I am!). Diocesean priests have no vow of poverty and can own real estate, and sometimes have "regular" jobs (like the French Worker Priests after WWII). There is no reason why they would not show up in Griffith's. "Order" priests -- Benedictines, Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits.....--- have vows of poverty and would not ordinarily hold title or leases to real estate. It looks to me like Fr. John O'Reily was diocesean, and it also looks like he had a lot of turf to care for. Ordinarily the priest would live off offerings of food and lodging from the people. Now, while you and Ellenjane have your books out, could you check up on my family? We are the CREAMERs from Abbeylara, which is a "suburb" of Granard, Co. Longford. We found Bernard CREAMER who married Ann KILBRIDE on 9 Jan, 1783. We also found their son, my great great grandfather, John CREAMER, born 22 Oct. 1786. This was in the Granard church records. But we have no records of what happened to John's siblings, and we have nothing about where they lived. We know nothing about the KILBRIDEs. (We also suspect that they came from somewhere else, because there seems to be only one family) If you check out our website: http://www.creamers.name you will see that we followed John from PEI to the present pretty well, but we have nothing on the rest of the family.

As I suspect that Father David will tell you, the witnesses were to the marriage, not to the dispensation, which had to be obtained in advance, since it would have required a search of records or, if those were unavailable, collection of testimony from persons with knowlege of the relevant facts. Also, it would not be at all out of the ordinary for a witness to share a surname with one of the parties to marriage, since in that era witnesses were virtually invariably relatives.

Hi Charlie, You came to the right guy. I not only speak Latin fluently (with myself), but also taught it in high school (1960's). Patricio is a guy: Patrick. Anna is a gal. Carolo is Charles. Was it Charles McCann? A "casulo/casulum" is a "case" like a "legal case." The dispensation issue would have been the legal case. If there was "newly discovered evidence" after the initial marriage that, without the dispensation, would have rendered the marriage invalid, they would have had to get the dispensation and then do the marriage over again. Soooooo... maybe there were two marriage ceremonies, 4 days apart. Probably the second one would have been very simple, just to "correct" the first one, and they used the first two witnesses they could find (or, witnesses whom they could trust not to divulge the original error. ?????) Do you think the groom, James Hughes, could have been related to the second witness, Bridget Hughes? and that she spilled the beans about Bridget Kelagher being their cousin? Such intrigue ! !

My gg grandfather and grandmother were married by John O'Reily who apparently was the parish priest for the Catholic parish in which they were married. The cover page for the registry that holds my gg grandparent's 1835 marriage record reads: "Registry Book of Marriages and Baptisms for Killoe commenci??, 1826, John O'Reily P.P." I am interpreting this registry to be from the Catholic Parish of Killoe beginning in 1826, but from a church within the 'Parish of Killoe'. Question: Am I correct that this be the registry for a church within the parish of Killoe or would it be from a church in the town of Killoe?

Hi David, Thanks. I never thought of that. It is, in my opinion, strange though, that there were two witness present for this dispensation of 'consanguinity'. I thought that most of the 'consanguinity' dispensations could be handled by the Priest without the need for witnesses. Interestingly, one of the witnesses, Bridget Hughes, appears to be related to the groom, James Hughes.

Charlie, Once again, 1826 is a long time before I was born, but: "P.P." means Parish Priest, which means John O'Reily was the pastor and not an assistant (not a "curate," C.P.). My understanding is that the registry followed the priest and did not stay in the church building/office. John O'Reily could have served several communities ("churches") within the "Parish" of Killoe. I am speculating that the origin of this custom was in 1) hiding records from the English who would persecute or kill a Catholic, and 2) providing a physically safe location for the records. I remember the interesting story that someone posted about the successor priest asking for the registry from his predecessor and the older man demanding payment.

Hi Charlie, You're right, I think. Today dispensations are between the priest and the marriage tribunal and done on paper. We just make a notation in the record book that the dispensation was granted. The witnesses are for the marriage itself. I don't know why your dispensation needed witnesses--- but that was a long time ago. There are other "dispensations" available. One is from "canonical form" which would be for a Catholic getting married to a non-Catholic in her church. Another would be for having the wedding outside a church building (in the city park, in a hospital bed, SCUBA diving, etc). I suspect the only way you will know for sure is to review the entire record book and see if you can come up with some patterns. David At 07:13 AM 3/19/2008, you wrote: >Hi David, >Thanks.

Nancy, Tom and Mike; Thanks for the ideas on the size of the RC parish of Killoe. That is what I thought the RC parish and the Civil parish include different townlands. Another Question: Below the marriage record for the marriage of my gg grandparents, James Hughes and Bridget Kelagher and three days after their marriage entry, is listed what looks like a dispensation. It shows James Hughes and Bridget Hughes tes (witnesses?) Casola(?) M Cain(?) and Bridget Hughes dispensation obit...(?) Any guesses as to what this dispensation might have been?

Frequently the "dispensation" is from "consanguinity" which means they were related, probably as third cousins.

I am new to this list and am trying to trace my Irish ancestors. My great, great, great grandfather was born in 1800 in Longford. His name was John Morris and he grew up to be a whipmaker and moved to the UK sometime before 1836 (I have details of his marriage to Sarah Russell in Manchester in that year). I have no information about parents or any siblings. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks. Brenda Ward No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
