Hi Peggy, No, sadly too late to be mine. But many, many thanks for the information. I'm also after baptisms for Coolbeg, Civil Parish of Glenealy, in the 1840's. Would these come under Wicklow Town? Or does Glenealy slot in somewhere else? Kind regards, Barbara

Does anyone have any information on a Hugh Burns born 1792 or 93, he sailed from Dublin and arrive in Philadelphia on June 18, 1827. I believe he was from County Wicklow. Thanks Nancy

Hi Barbara I don't have very many Glendalough records yet, but I have a James Kavanagh/Mary Byrne couple having two children in Upper Aughrim Parish of Rathdrum... Catherine born June 9, 1857 - sponsors Andy Kavanagh and Elizabeth Young. Roseanna born Feb. 6, 1864 - sponsors Patrick Neill and Catherine Young. Both of these records were transcribed from microfilm # 6476 at the National Library in Dublin. I also have a James Kavanagh/Ellen Byrne couple with 2 children, living in Rathdrum. John born 23 August 1870 - sponsors Laurence Farrell and Catherine Kavanagh Mary born 25 May 1872 - sponsors Richard Doyle and Mary Kenny. Probably not much good to you, but who knows. Peggy Leonard

Peggy, while you have the Glendalough records handy, don't suppose you have any Catholic marriage record of a Daniel Kavanagh, blacksmith, son of James and Mary (Burn/s spelling?) and Margaret Murphy, daughter of Michael and Julia (surname unknown) about c.1834. Or subsequent baptisms? Many thanks Barbara

Hi Peggy That is a great help. I think the townlands are now known as Tomdarragh and Annagolan in the parish of Derrylossary. To my knowledge Joseph and Ellen aka Ann had at least five children and I am sure there were others : 1. William (my great grandfather) b.17th Dec.1861 2. Mary b.6th Feb.1864 3.Anne b.6th May 1871 4.Margaret b.15th Jul.1874 5.Joseph b.26th Jul.1883 William married Elizabeth Fiddler of Ballinastoe on 25th Sept.1887 in the R.C. church at Kilquade. Elizabeth was the daughter of Thomas Fiddler and Susan Pharr, they ran a shop and hotel at Ballinastoe which I believe is now the Djouce Golf Club, they were both C. of I. Many thanks Peggy for the marriage information and I now have another family (Walsh) to add to my ancestry.

Hi Cara, I had quite a chuckle upon reading your description of the "fire plan" at the library, but what was that person thinking - smoking in an area with all that archival material?? I'm shuddering just thinking about it. Hope you're having a fun time otherwise.

I was in Ireland doing nothing but, drinking guinness, eating fine food and doing exactly nothing, well let me tell you my research come holiday has not been without its own twist and turns. A simple day out to the NAtional Library in Dublin,becomes an experience, even for this aulde one, fire bells going and a full blown exercise in getting out of the library, becomes a big exercise, if any of you are aware of the escape plan from the library. If not you are about to learn it, rule number one, you must leave everything, and that means everything behind, (doesnt matter how much data you have laboriously transcribe) it has to stay behind, you then file out to climb the exit steps that have been there since the beginning of dot, you nearly need a ladder to climb up to these first three steps, and then across the scaffolding (yes scaffolding) they are doing maintenance on the building and down across this until you make it down what seemed a million steps on the fire escape. Filed out to stand on the side of the road with hundreds of others to speculate on what is going on, to hear the cries of *my mobiles in there * who cares about the mobile what, about the books etc ..... and what about my wallet it holds me plastics dam no shopping if that goes up. ALL CLEAR we return to the building back inside after all its freezing out and we have all turned blue, and about to put the butt down, and yes you guessed it, off goes the alarm again, and the whole exercise begins again...............I survived that one as well, and return again to the reading room. Cause of alarm..........some eegit decided to have a smoke in the toilets..........glad they were not found they would have been swung off the flag pole. cheers CAra __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Does anyone have any information on the Pepper/Flynn-Finn families R.C. labourers from Annamoe/Roundwood or the Fiddler/Pharr families C.of I. farmers Roundwood/Ballinastoe area. I have tried the RCBL and the National Library but have not had much success. Frank

Dear all I am in need of assistance with this family, and in particular with William BOWES, for whom I cannot find a birth, marriage or a burial. The details are below. WILLIAM BOWES, of Co. Wicklow, Ireland. He was described in 1887 at the marriage of his son Peter , where his occupation was given as a joiner. ; d by 1887; . He had: 1a John; b before c 1854; he was described in 1878 as the next of kin to his younger brother, Peter Bowes, suggesting that their father, William, had already died; in 1878 he was living in Ballycapple (?), Co. Wicklow 2a PETER; b Glenealy, Co. Wicklow c 1854; ploughman c 1870, Wicklow Militia c 1871-1878, Gunner RA 1878-1899, barrack labourer 1901; m Kentish Town 16 May 1887 Alice Jane (d 1919), 2nd dau of Thomas Latham, of Colerne, Wiltshire [see LATHAM]; d Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, Kent 4 Jan 1918; bur Fort Pitt Military Cemetery, Chatham 10 Jan 1918 3a [A son]; b after c 1854; mentioned in 1878 the younger brother of Peter Bowes; in 1878 he was living in Ballycapple (?), Co. Wicklow Below I am posting some miscellaneous finds of the BOWES family around Wicklow in the hope they link with anyone else's research, or provide leads. The fact that Peter gives his next-of-kin as his brother, John, would suggest that his father had died. John Bowes is described as ‘of Ballycoppin’ in Co. Wicklow. No such place exists, however; the entry should probably read Ballycapple, which is in the parish of Dunganstown. The presence the parish registers of Dunganstown reveals a thin presence of Boweses during the mid-1800s. private baptism of John, illegitimate child of William Bowes, farmer, of Kilmanogue [sic] and Anne Kean of Kilboy, both of the parish of Dunganstown. One William Bowes is known to have lived in Kilmanoge in the parish of Dunganstown, Co. Wicklow, appears in the parish registers of Redcross and Wicklow. He had two children: John Bowes bapt Redcross, Co. Wicklow 25 Oct 1850. Baptisms cover 1830-1852. Elizabeth, b 24 Apr 1852, bapt Wicklow 7 May 1852, dau of William Bowes, farmer, of Kilmanogue, and Anne Connor, servant, of Kilenamana (?). Dunganstown. Forasmuch Glenealy remains a possible birthplace for Peter. James Bowes, of Kilmanogue [sic], Dunganstown, bur Glenealy 11 May 1860 aged 77. A certain ‘Mrs Susan Bowes’, who d 27 Jul 1857 aged 80, bur Dunganstown 29th Jul 1857. A William Bowes of Kilmanoge, Co. Wicklow, had a son, John, who was bapt had two illegitimate children. ‘Plan of Dunganstown Graveyard’ lists 3 Bose graves (in area nos 74 and 92) Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

T'is, T'is. Have you come across this site? http://www.from-ireland.net/lewis/wick/newcastle.htm I wish I could be so lucky.

There is a Ballymurtagh in Co. Clare, Civil Parish of Clonloghan. And a Middleton in Longford, Civil Parish of Killashee. There is also a Mount John House in Wicklow - is this the one?

Dear List Set out below is a summary of all references to the name WOOLAGHAN contained in the publication “The Rebellion in Wicklow 1798” By Ruan O’Donnell. I hope this might be of assistance to any other Woolaghan researchers out there. I note that it says that Hugh Woolaghan was variously: 1. working in Ballymurtagh (not sure where this is but will have a look) 2. from Middleton (which we have never been able to locate) 3. working as a mason for Thomas Archer of Mount John 4. working in Dublin as a builder after his trial All of these references are to Hugh Woolaghan, but presumably he must have had some family? Can anyone please let me know if they have come across any Woolaghans in their research. Best wishes Fiona Harris Western Australia Researching HARRIS, FAIRFAX, WOOLAGHAN, WHITSED, FAIRWEATHER See my research interests at http://www.wags.org.au/mid/8912.htm References to the Name Woolaghan in the publication “The Rebellion in Wicklow 1798” By Ruan O’Donnell Page 49 “A rebel miner at Ballymurtagh, in a similar vein, told his workmate, Hugh Woolaghan that there were ‘acres enough in the Kingdom for every man if they would choose to take them up, to assist the French’. This theme of justice and material reward must have been a compelling one for landless miners, many of whom would have had no prospect of obtaining property by the conventional means of purchase and inheritance.” Note 1. Page 65 “Hugh Woolaghan, a mason employed at Ballymurtagh, was sworn in Arklow Town on 1 October 1797 by George and William Tracey who were both privates in the mines yeomanry. Having received the oath of secrecy Woolaghan was encouraged to enlist and was told that Camac’s corps already had twenty-six rebels in their ranks. Note 2. John Tyson also revealed the extent of the conspiracy to Tom King in January 1798 by naming thirty-eight co-workers as United Irishmen, including many who had not been implicated by Woolghan …. Note 3. King learned from Woolaghan, that the Cronebane corps were ‘almost all united and particularly named W[illia]m Holt, mason’ who was also mentioned by Tyson. ” Note 4. (Woolaghan signed up the day after martial law was reported to have been proclaimed in some parts of Wicklow per p 98) Page 80 The Wicklow militia were stationed at Strabane, Co Tyrone in 1795. (This is noted as there are a number of Woolaghans, including several Hugh Woolaghans, from Strabane in the early 1800s, and perhaps this was the connection with the Woolaghans from Wicklow, though this Hugh hadn’t signed up at that stage.) Page 117 “The emergence of informers within the ranks of the Wicklow United Irishmen from January 1798 onwards gave their loyalist opponents unprecedented insight into the extent and workings of the conspiracy. Particularly useful knowledge was gained of the Ballinacor and Arklow sectors where arms-raiding had been uncommon and rebel strength underestimated as a consequence. The lengthy depositions of Hugh Woolaghan, John Kavanagh and John Tyson startled the investigating magistrates, Tom King and Abraham Mills as the revelations regarding yeomanry infiltration, initiation procedures and United Irish numerical strength confirmed their worst fears.” Page 126 “…the two Castlemacadam corps which Tyson, Woolaghan and Kavanagh had implicated.” Page 129 “Few problems were encountered with with most of Wicklow’s overwhelmingly Protestant corps, such as Captain Robert Gore’s Newtownmountkennedy Cavalry which had only one or two Catholics of its approximately forty men….the notorious killer Hugh Woolaghan transferred to it from the disgraced Castlemacadam Cavalry.” Page 173 The Tyrone militia were sent to Wicklow on 10 May 1798. Page 282 “In the says following 14 July scores of insurgents were found hiding in cornfields north of the Boyne and elsewhere in Meath by the soldiers and yeomen scouring the countryside, Many were shot out-of-hand and dozens of others were only taken prisoner to be courtmartialled for the capital crime of ‘waging war against our sovereign Lord the King’.” Note 5. Page 335 “In one of the most blatant yeoman reprisals Hugh Woolaghan of Middleton, a private in the Newtownmountkennedy corps, went to the Killincarrig home of an amnestied rebel Thomas Dogherty on 1 October [1798] and shot him dead without provocation. Woolaghan had given Thomas King some of the first details of United Irish infiltration of the Cronebane corps in January and prior to the rebellion had worked as a mason for the Thomas Archer of Mount John. He was accompanied by Charles and James Fox, probably the Foxs of Middleton, who did not act upon their threat to shoot other family members. The killing came just seven days after a member of their corps had been shot and wounded by rebels at Newtownmountkennedy and was probably envisaged as a calculated reprisal. Dogherty had been a prominent and popular rebel in the Delgany area and had fought from May 1798 until his arrest in the aftermath of the Meath expedition.” Note 6. “Woolaghan was court-martialled in Dublin between 13 and 15 October [1798] for his flagrant affront to the amnesty legislation and the trial quickly took on national significance when its potential as a pivotal test case became apparent. This situation arose when the defence attempted to justify Woolaghan’s actions by claiming he had been following standing orders to shoot suspected rebels on sight. Corporal George Kennedy testified that Captain John Warnford Armstrong of the King’s County Militia, the man responsible for the conviction of the Sheares brothers, had ordered that rebels be shot on sight owing to ‘the enormities’ they had committed. This statement was supported by Seargeant Nathaniel Hayes who heard Armstrong declare his intention to ‘shoot or hang any rebels whom he suspected’. Lieutenant William Tomlinson of the Rathdrum corps also admitted that orders had been given ‘not to bring in prisoners.’ The yeomen may have been encouraged to make such frank disclosures by the composition of the court-martial panel which drew its members from the Fermanagh Militia ad Fifth Royal Irish Dragoons, two regiments noted for their extreme loyalty.” Page 336 “Their acquittal of Woolaghan was interpreted as a sign of their tacit approval of meeting (sic) out summary justice to protectioned rebels and as a rebuke to Cornwallis clemency policy. Woolaghan took work as a builder in Dublin after his reprieve and in 1799 was mistaken for a United Irishman by Edward Holmes who invited him back to the house where the senior organizer James Hope was staying. Hope managed to escape the authorities but Holmes lost his job.” Page 337 “…Woolaghan’s release elicited widespread outrage. Dwyer, on learning of the court’s decision, led thirty to forty men on 16 October in the only attack carried out in the immediate vicinity of Rathdrum in 1798…” References: 1.
