Have just added a new file to the Wexford section of the IGP Archives. Under Census Substitutes: *Oaths of Allegiance 1775 - Parliament passed a law that Catholics sign an Oath of Allegiance. Unlike other loyalty oaths, this one seems (according to the little I found online) not to have required Catholics to renounce the Pope. One purpose was to allow Catholics to join the military due to an increased need for soldiers. If you are researching in this time frame, you might find this interesting.
