and kiln, in the townland of a Tullycairne, parish of Donaghcloney and County of Down, the property of Samuel Livingston FRAZER Esq., were discovered to be on fire. Immediately on the alarm being given, the neighbours gathered and succeeded in extinguishing the devouring element, and prevented it from burning a flax mill adjoining, around and in which, there was a large quantity of flax. The corn mill was altogether consumed and the kiln partially burned. The amount of damage is estimated at nearly £500 and as the burning was supposed to be malicious, Mr. FRAZER has served the necessary notices required by law, in order to make application for compensation at the next presentment sessions in Hillsborough and at the next assizes in Down. Two stacks of flax were maliciously burned on the same property in February last. transcribed by Teena https://cotyrone.com/ ___ UlsterAncestry@cotyrone.com UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/ulsterancestry@cotyrone.com/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/

[UlsterAncestry] News & BMD's various dates
flames, and, as might naturally be expected, every exertion to stop the progress of the destructive element proved useless. There was at the time, a considerable quantity of scutched* and unscutched flax in the mill, which was all consumed, but we are happy to be able to say, that the stack yard in which there was flax, amounting to several thousand pounds in value, was saved, owing to the praiseworthy exertions of the workmen and others who came to their assistance, as the flax had caught fire there several times, but the fire was each time got under, and the whole of the flax in the yard eventually saved. This is, we understand, only the second season for Mr. M'KEE to be engaged in dressing flax, and his mill had obtained a high character, as he had, on more than one occasion been a successful competitor for the Flax Improvement Society's premium for best handled flax, and also obtained a premium at the last meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society in this town. This makes the loss which he has sustained the more to be regretted. We have not heard whether the mill was insured or not. *[Scutching is one step in the processing of flax in preparation for spinning. It separates the impurities from the raw material.

The contributions to this fund have been received and applied by the Collector of the Customs for the time being, under the immediate direction of the trustees, to the relief of sick, hurt and worn out mariners, and the widows and children of masters and mariners killed, &c. in the merchant service. The amount expended for those purposes since the commencement of the fund to the 31st Dec. 1842, is upwards of £3,500, and between the latter date and the 12th inst. the payments have exceeded £900.

concerning him will be gratefully received by his brother, Mr. A. G. POTTS, 73 Ogilvie St., Woodstock rd. Belfast. Private James E. CAMPBELL, Black Watch, has been reported by the War office as missing. Any information will gratefully be received by his anxious wife and two children at 16 Fifth Street, Belfast Mrs. H. WHITE, Pharsis St., Townhead, Glasgow, is very anxious for news of her sons, Private John Leslie WHITE and Private Jas. C. White (14934) 11th Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, who have been missing since 1st ult. They were in C. Company and no trace of them can found. They were trained with the Ulster Volunteers in Glasgow. Posthumous Promotion The official intimation that he had been promoted to captain, dated June 10th, has followed the news of the recent death of Lieutenant John Henry DAVIS, M. B.,R.A.M.C. of 276 Upper Parliament St. Liverpool, who was a son of Mr. Robert DAVIS, Antrim Road, Belfast. His death followed a collision with a tram-car in St. Marys Road, Garston, when he was riding a motor-cycle towards Liverpool. Dr. DAVIS was buried in the city cemetery, Belfast, last June. Five Brothers in Army Few families made a greater response to the country’s call for men than that of Mr. and Mrs. A. WRIGHT, who reside at 39 Auburn St. Belfast. When war was declared, there were 6 sons of Mr. and Mrs WRIGHT'S alive and it is a source of pardonable pride to the parents that 5 of the boys joined up, the remaining one being engaged on munition work. The eldest of the brothers. Anthony, who served 13 years in the army in peace times, is now in the Punjab, India, with the R.F.A. Stewart is serving with the 16th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles (Pioneers), William served in the South African campaign and came from New York to enlist in an English regiment. Of the younger boys, John is in Egypt, with the Royal Engineers and Craig is serving under Commander Locker LAMPSON in Russia, with the R.N.A.S. A postcard received on Thursday by Mrs. GREER, 18 Ballycarry St. Oldpark Road, Belfast, occasioned much joy in her household, for it was in the familiar handwriting of her husband, Lance-Corporal Jas. GREER, West Belfast Volunteers (who was officially reported killed in action on the 1st), stating that he was wounded and a prisoner at Minden, Westphalia. Lance-Corporal GREER, who has almost recovered from his wounds, was employed at the Queen’s Island before the war. News has been received by a friend in Coleraine that Private Harry SIMPSON, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, who was reported at the War office to have been killed on the 10th July, is alive and well. In a letter home, Private SIMPSON conveys the welcome intelligence and states that he has been transferred to a battalion of the Royal Irish Rifles. transcribed by Teena from the Larne Times cheers! ___ UlsterAncestry@cotyrone.com UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/ulsterancestry@cotyrone.com/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/

[UlsterAncestry] Some News of the day 2 Dec. 1848
idea of the infant astronomer who said the stars were "holes in the sky for the glory of God to shine through." Another admirable answer, also of a child, was when asked if there was any place the universe where God was not, he unexpectedly replied, "Yes, God is not in the thoughts of the wicked." He who is not growing wiser, has never been wise He who has not courage enough to be a fool in his own way, will scarcely have sufficient to be wise in his own way. Unfortunately, ridicule is a weapon to which the vacillating too often yield, forgetting that it belongs only to little and ungenerous minds and that those who use it, are subjects for compassion rather than dread. "The most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals, and have no hope of rising in their own esteem, but by lowering their neighbors." Penetration Many people pretend to this quality who never made a fortunate guess into character in their lives. They who possess great penetration into character, who can trace the sacred springs of action, and peep behind the curtain of maneuvering and affectation, do not enjoy the drama of human life half so much, as the ignorant spectator, who merely gazes on the stage and admires the passing splendour of the show. Under The Rose The ancients consecrated the rose to Harpocrates, the god of silence, and, therefore, frequently placed it on the ceilings of rooms destined for the receiving of the guests, implying that whatever was transacted there should not be made public. Crime is the moral cholera of the social body. It is a disease far more deadly than mere physical pestilence can be, however virulent. It kills both the body and the soul. It affects the future, as well as the present. The faint which it leaves is in the mind. Plague is only a temporary visitant, but crime is a disease permanently endemic, a canker always eating into the heart of our civilization. Men generally look upon a debtor as, in some degree, their own property. Pecuniary difficulty breaks all ties, absolves from all, courtesy, raises the creditor to the eminence of a despot, and often inspires him with the desire of exercising the arbitrary powers of one. The helpless debtor must be suspected, accused, insulted in silence. The attacks of others are unsupported by self-approbation and the natural independence of man. He is a slave, chained, to be spit upon by the angry and laughed at by the unfeeling and his own heart, alas! join his enemies and plead against him. Lock Jaw- This hitherto fatal disease in animals has recently been cured by a new operation, whereby the animal obtains instantaneous relief. The muscles which were considered to be extensors are now found to be flexors. This important discovery was made by a person named Webb, of Cambridgeshire, who has been operating upon a mare belonging to Mr. Adcock, of Lisbon, which is now well, and going to work. Fire at Forkhill On Wednesday night last, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. George DICK, a farmer living within a short distance of Forkhill. Some of the out houses were destroyed and two horses in a stable were much injured as to render their recovery hopeless. It is believed that the fire originated through the carelessness of one of the servants, who neglected extinguishing a candle.

18 Jun. 1847 from the Sligo Journal Strolling Mendicants Mr. Humphrey GILLMOR the officer appointed by the Board of Health, went through town with his assistants on Monday, when they seized about a dozen of beggars, whom they placed in the black cart and had them conveyed to the Town office. The Mayor, after an investigation committed six of them to prison till next day, then to be liberated on a promise to quit the town. On Tuesday the black cart was again in requisition and filled, to the great amusement of a crowd of spectators, who enjoyed the resistance made by a few of the sturdy vagrants. On their being brought before the Mayor, he gave them a choice of leaving the town or being sent to gaol. Mary MAHON and her sister, interesting young girls, being orphans, received a recommendatory note from his worship to Mr. BOYLE, work-house Guardian, to have them admitted to the workhouse. (unknown where these 2 orphans were from) Charles M'CULLAGH, who came from Omagh, in the county of Tyrone, with his mother and two sisters and who was represented as a troublesome customer, was again sent to prison, having been committed the previous day. The Mayor hoped he would be quieter next day, after his hair should be cut closer, which he promised to be, two were sent to confinement. After receiving an impressive lecture, they all agreed to go their own parishes. transcribed by Teena -- www.cotyrone.com http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/ ___ UlsterAncestry@cotyrone.com UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/ulsterancestry@cotyrone.com/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/

Hello All I'd like to thank Jane and Sharon for their suggestions regarding this topic.

[UlsterAncestry] new page & help with townlands in Brantry & Aughentain?
Hello Friends A new page at our 'In the News' section of the Ulster Ancestry' community web-site. Environs of Aghintain Co.Tyrone https://cotyrone.com/~inthenews/environs-of-aghintain-co-tyrone/ While compiling this document, I realize that I do not know, exactly which townlands, are within the 'Environs of Aghintain' Co.Tyrone. I have attempted to discover what they are, but I'm afraid I did not find that information. It seems that Losset, may be one of them. (from the photograph of Kenneth Allen!) The same thing happened to me while compiling the 'Brantry District' document, and on that one, I simply used a map. (and I highly doubt it is 100% complete, or accurate) I have never (yet) been to Ulster, nor Co. Tyrone, and defining some of the districts & areas can be very difficult when afar. If anyone can help me, to include and update this information in these documents, I would really appreciate it. There is also mention of a Mr O'BRIENE having composed an 'ode' for an event for Aughentaine in 1863, said to have contained much of the history of the area. I've been unable to discover this. Thank you!

[UlsterAncestry] some Notices of May & June 1832
The following notices are transcribed from the Belfast Newsletter by Teena 11 May 1832 died On the 2nd inst. whilst on a visit at the house of his brother, 8 Corn market, James GARRETT Esq. of Farlough, Co. Tyrone, (Member of the Society of Friends) He was a gentleman of most amiable character, charitable disposition and unassuming, though engaging manners and is much and deservedly regretted by a numerous circle of relatives and friends. At Armagh on the 28th ult. Mr. William GARDNER, nearly 40 years a class leader in the Methodist Connexion. On the 29th ultimo, at the advanced age of 105 Mrs. Mary ELDER, of this town. (Belfast) She was a woman of a very strong understanding, exemplary in every walk of life, fulfilling her relative duties in a manner that sheds a lustre on her memory and does honour to those who she has left behind. She retained her faculties to the last and what is remarkable, about 6 years ago she got a new set of teeth and stranger still, the front, as well as the back teeth, were what we call double. For many years she had been partially bald, but as if renovation, instead of decay, accompanied the increasing years of this singular and amiable character, about 3 months previous to her death, new hair began to grow and the day that terminated her earthly career she exibited a thick covering of beautifully silvered-clocks better than a quarter of a yard in length. 18 May 1832 married On Friday last by the Rev.

[UlsterAncestry] Contact Tammy website designer & host /volunteers
Good-Day Friends. For anyone who would like to contact Tammy, our illustrious web-site designer & developer, you may do so at; ances...@ripandrevmedia.ca Also, there is something many of you may not know and that is our community web-site is hosted 'Free', on a server owned by Tammy, and has been since we left our host at Rootsweb, in 2010. Thank you Jane, for the support and also for reminding me, (along with helping to transcribe!), there are many ways in which folks can volunteer. >From simply checking links at our site to ensure they still work, to becoming a co-administrator of the mailing list, along with the always necessary transcribers, and the providers of data and photographs. (and all in between!) In an ideal world, it would be fabulous to have a volunteer, who could concentrate on each of the counties in Ulster. My focus since starting my genealogical journey has always been Tyrone. However, finding some ancestors in Co. Londonderry, broadened that focus. If you were to ask me though, specifically, about say, Co.'s Antrim, or Fermanagh, I'm afraid I become rather dumb-founded. I am reminded also, to give a shout out and to express my thanks as well to Carol Simmons, who has begun to transcribe information for County Monaghan. We welcome & treasure each and every one! If you have questions, you may contact Tammy or myself.

[UlsterAncestry] some News of 1831
dy Sherbroke has occasioned indiscribable distress here, upwards of fifty of the passengers being from the town and neighbourhood of Enniskillen. There were thirty two from a townland called the Ring, of whom only four have escaped the melancholy fate of their companions. Of the family of John KERR, consisting, we fear, of fourteen in number, including his wife, he and a son and a daughter only have been saved. The lamentations in that quarter, on and since the arrival of the melancholy tidings have been truly affecting. Dublin Morning Register 2 Nov. 1831 The Ship 'Lady Sherbroke' We have seen a letter from one of the surviving sufferers to his parents who reside in the neighborhood of St. Johns town, which is as follows. Halifax. Aug. 29, 1831 Dear Father and Mother I take up pen to inform you of my sad misfortune since the time of my departure. I commence letting you know that we were on the water six weeks and three days from the time of my departure, during which we were very happy ..but alas I at the end of that time, we were wrecked off Mouse Island, Cape Ray where every soul was lost except 32 passengers including five of the crew. I was twelve hours on the wreck after being cast away, which was at twelve o'clock at night. I went down three times but by the assistance of God I got on the main-mast which lay in the water, where I remained during that time, until the will of providence sent a boat which took me and Thomas (a name here illegible) the only one left that you know out of the whole sufferers. We were then taken from where the fishermen live to Halifax, where we arrived in three weeks and three days, during which time the captain, who took us from that place in a schooner (his name is MUNRO) used us with all the kindness that a man could do. I was only three days to Halirax when I fell into the employment of Mr OSTERMAN, living about two and a half miles out of (?) own, for 24£ per year. During the time that I have been with him I have every reason to say that I think he will be a good friend to me. I lost all my clothes and what money I had with me. I met with Mr J MEEHAN, from Three-mile-town, who used me very kindly, and gave me clothes to last me until May, along with money. I am sorry to say that Mr YOUNG and the his family were lost. Mr. YOUNG saw all the family go to their watery grave and I was shaking hands with him bidding him a last farewell, when he went down to rise no more. After his going down, I went down, but escaped the awful fate as I have mentioned before, David CLARKE’s daughter from Killagh was lost.

Dear Friends; For anyone new to Ulster Research, Please do not neglect searching at the British (UK Archives) for your Irish ancestor.

[UlsterAncestry] bits of news from March 1812
28 March 1812 To the sheriffs of the city and County of Londonderry We, whose names are hereunto subscribed request you will call a meeting of the Linen merchants of the city and County of Londonderry, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning the Prince Regent, upon the subject of the resolution of the Board of Trade, which permits the granting of licenses to import from France, &c. linens, cambrics, and linen-yarn. Upon a former occasion, the importation of these articles was highly injurious to the sole and staple products of this country and in the present reduced state of our commerce and exclusion from Continental and American markets, we are apprehensive that a similar importation may be attended with equally calamitous consequences.

John MURRAY Thos. KENNEDY sheriffs Dreadful Fire On the night of the 20th inst. the house and offices of Michael M'MULLAN, the Falls, near Ballycastle, were burned to the ground, accompained by very distressing circumstances. The family had been occupied till a late hour at their different branches of industry and retired to rest with that contentment and calmness of mind, which springs from the consciousness of a well spent day. After being a considerable time in bed, the father of the family was awakened by an unusual noise; when he immediately ran out and found his premises on fire; bursting open the door where his cattle were, the first object presented to him was one of his cows and a horse lying dead and all the efforts he was capable of, could not force the remainder out of the flames! The fire had by that time, ran rapidly to the dwelling-house and the sole aim of the man was now to rescue his family, who were still fast asleep. This he happily effected forcing through a window and thereby succeeded in rescuing the whole from a miserable death. The scene at that moment was truly affecting - the mother, with an infant in her arms and six children, in a most tempestuous night, without shelter, or covering, and all that they possessed devouring by the flames. Three cows and calves, two horses, farming utensils, clothing, furniture &c. shared one common fate and what adds to the misfortune of this family, the entire crop potatoes, and most of the corn, were likewise consumed. Thus, in the course of a few hours, has an industrious family been reduced to the most abject poverty, presenting a most forcible claim on the sympathy and protection of their County. Many of the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers of the 'Jane', wrecked on Friday night at Ardglass, have been cast on shore, and have been decently interred. The remains of Captain BUSBY and his mate were, yesterday, conveyed in two coffins to this town. On Sunday, a man endeavouring to save some cloth, part of which he had wrapped round his arm, was, by the force of the waves, dragged into the sea and drowned. transcribed by Teena from the Belfast Commercial Chronicle www.cotyrone.com http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/ ___ UlsterAncestry@cotyrone.com UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/ulsterancestry@cotyrone.com/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/

[UlsterAncestry] Advice on Bathing in 1812 & a Bathing Hotel
30 May 1812 Bathing to the Editor of the Belfast Chronicle Sir As the season for bathing is now approaching, probably a few observations relating to the management of that operation, partly extracted from the works of a late eminent physician, and partly the result of my own experience, may not unacceptable, or altogether useless, to some of your numerous readers. They chiefly apply to salt-water bathing - 1. The morning tide is incomparably preferable the evening ; and an empty stomach to a full one, for this healthy operation. 2. The time allotted for stripping, immersion, and resuming the dress, should rarely exceed 20 minutes; if it can be done in 15, so much the better. 3, The blood should be moderately heated, both before and after the bath, by walking or other suitable exercise. 4. Notwithstanding the absurd and silly prejudices to the contrary, the body should, on immersion, be instantly and briskly rubbed with a coarse cloth, till perfectly dry. Let every one who regards his health, attend particularly to this; for, notwithstanding, it is admitted that salt water does not so readily give sensible cold as fresh, yet, it is certain, that the damp absorbed by the linen, on being put on a wet body, and lying against the skin, is attended with the most dangerous consequences, and has often laid the foundation of a consumption or inflammation of the lungs, when the patient is perhaps totally ignorant of the cause of his disorder. This pernicious practice is of the very same nature as sleeping in damp sheets, with the difference, indeed, of air and exercise to assist in counteracting the injurious effects it would otherwise be attended with. Attention to this point is most essentially necessary with children, their tender frames are less able to contend with so hurtful a practice, than those of adults; yet, strange to tell, with these it is most neglected! I have been often filled wth a mixture of grief and indignation, at seeing the clothes of tender infants hurried on their wet bodies after bathing, which cannot fail to give the poor innocents a fit of the cholic, a severe cough, or possibly throw it into convulsions; yet there is no persuading their mothers or nurses of the impropriety and danger of doing so. The notion from whence this practice arose, very probably originated in the supposed fact of the body absorbing the salt water, and the salubrious effects of such absorption upon the system. Not to mention that the doctrine of absorption has been controverted by some very eminent physicians, yet assuredly the proper time and place for receiving such beneficial effects is during immersion, not by the application of wet clothes, which, checking the perspiration, not only counteracts the benefit of bathing, but saps the constiution, and lays a foundation for a numerous train diseases. By a proper attention to the preceding observations, sea-bathing may be used with equal pleasure and advantage. l am, Sir, your obedient servant Benevolus Belfast, May 28, 1812.

[UlsterAncestry] Impressment from ships in Moville bay 1812
rbour." Mr. Acheson SMYTH said he conceived it better to request the Mayor to convene a common hall to take the subject into consideration. It was not a question confined to the merchants alone, the community at large were interested in it and he thought that the whole city, and even the country, should publicly express their abhorrence of such an outrage. Besides, the memorial would go forward with greater weight from the citizens at large, backed by the signature of the Mayor. Mr. DAVENPORT, in reply said, that the object of the meeting was to obtain redress for the unfortunate sufferers, not to excite popular feeling, which was already sufficiently alive to the indignity, which the liberties of the people had sustained and as to the weight of respectability to be conferred by a town meeting, he thought very differently on the subject; the respective signatures of the respectable merchants of Derry would be known and appreciated by many of those to whom the Memotial would be addressed; and for his part, he had never seen a town meeting of half the respectability of that now assembled. Mr. MACKY, Mr. NICHOLSON and the majority of the meeting were of opinion that a Memorial should be immediately forwarded from the persons then assembled, but that a town meeting should afterwards be convened agreeably to the ideas of Mr. SMYTH. A committee of 5 was then appointed to prepare the memorial, which being read to the meeting, meet with universal approbation and was ordered to be forwarded by Mr. SCHOALES, the chairman to his Grace the Lord Lieutenant, and to the Rt. Hon. Sir Geo. F. HILL, our city representative, for the purpose of having it laid before the Lords of the Admirality. Want of room prevents us from giving at length, the sentiments of the various gentlemen who spoke on this interesting occasion and also from inserting the Memorial. It appeared to be the universal opinion of the meeting, in which we most heartily concur, that the whole proceeding of MORGAN was the unauthorised act of an individual and that it is only necessary to make the facts known to the Government to procure immediate redress and we feel the utmost confidence that the unhappy sufferers will obtain every possible reparation for the injury which they have sustained. The above is taken from the Derry Journal, which in this case, speaking the opinions of several most respectable merchants at a public meeting, we thought it right to lay before our readers, as having considerable weight, a subject peculiarly interesting, not only to the mercantile world, but to the community at large. We would hope, for the honour of the service, however, that the above may prove somewhat exaggerated and in the mean time we deem it, but justice to the officer above mentioned, to publish the following affidavit of the mate of the 'Nepean', taken before the Mayor of Derry. "Having this day seen an erroneous, scandalous and false statements of the conduct of Lieut. MORGAN, commanding H. M.'s schooner 'Barbara', relative to the impressment of the people from on board the American ships in this harbour and more particularly the 'Bristol', I think it my duty to step forward and make affidavit of the facts which came within my knowledge. I was ordered to board the 'Bristol' and to impress all the single young men from her and by no means, to take any married man and in the course of the evening, I was assisted by his master and gunner, and that no violence was made use of, farther than the service required and farther respecting Mrs FULTON having been abused, it is utterly false. I was the person who gave her son to her, being impelled thereto by her frantic and distressed appearance and in five other instances I gave back young men to their wives and relatives. And the statement of their usage on the 'Barbara' is utterly false, I remained on board the 'Barbara' until she was out of the harbour and in no instance saw any inhuman usage by Lieut. MORGAN or any of his officers and l am perfectly assured that Lieut. MORGAN is incapable of behaving in any point unbecoming an officer and gentleman; and in every point which came within my knowledge respecting the usage of the people, they were well treated and by no means ill used and the paragraph which appeared in the Londonderry Journal is false and an unjust attack on the character of a brave young officer.

[UlsterAncestry] Peter M'CARROLL 1899
medical officer of Fintona dispensary district, deposed to making a superficial examination of the body. He found no marks of any external injury. He believed that his face and hands to near the elbows, had been in water at least 10 days. The cause of death was drowning. The other part of the body had no appearance of being in the water so long. The nose and mouth had evidently been lying in the gravel. There was not sufficient water in the stream to drown a person, unless it was done deliberately. There is the root of an old tree in the arch and under the tree there is a lot of water, the root forming a kind of embankment. The head was in the pool of water behind the root. John MEENAN, Kilnaherry, was then called and sworn. He said the deceased was his first cousin. He had known him since childhood. He was about 45 years of age and was a labourer. He first heard the previous evening, that Peter M'CARROLL was found dead in a bridge at Eskra. He heard he was missing for some time, but did not know he was noticed to be strange in his mind. The Coroner then summed up and the jury, after some deliberation, returned the following verdict "Peter M'CARROLL was found dead in the townland of Eskra on the 13th day of January, the cause of death being drowning, but no evidence has been advanced to show when said drowning took place." transcribed by Teena from the Derry Journal -- www.cotyrone.com http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/ ___ UlsterAncestry@cotyrone.com UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/ulsterancestry@cotyrone.com/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/

Mr. ROBINSON ordered them out, as it was near 11 o'clock at night; witness went out, but deceased would not till he would get more drink, and commenced to kick the counter with his feet; prisoner then pushed him out and shut the door, but deceased began rapping at the door, and hitting it with a stone; witness went about two perches away then, towards his own house, when he heard a noise; turned and looked back, and saw the deceased lying on the ground; witness then went back and lifted him, and found his head cut and bleeding; he could not stand; saw no fighting before this; deceased lived till 5 o'clock the next evening, when he died; witness's wife had come for him; did not see the prisoner again till he was in the custody of the Police the next day. This witness was not cross-examined. Mary McQUAID, wife to the last witness, examined by Mr. SMILEY. - Went to ROBINSON's for her husband; the deceased called for a naggin of rum, but the prisoner was not willing to give it; witness advised him to give it, to get him away; he did so, and when he did deceased had no money to pay for it; witness's husband paid for it; deceased then wanted more drink, but ROBINSON would not give it, and when deceased commenced kicking and jumping on the counter, the prisoner pushed him out; witness then shut the lower half of the door, and ROBINSON remained inside and barred the other half; deceased commenced beating the door to get in again, and witness followed her husband, who had gone across the street; on her husband going back when he heard the noise, witness went also, and saw the deceased lying on the ground; lifted his head, and saw it cut and bleeding on the left side; he could not speak; saw other persons around him, and after a little the prisoner also. Samuel DENISTON, examined by Mr. JOHNSTON. - Was at ROBINSON's on this night; on going to it heard a knocking as if at the door, and when he went forward saw a man lying on the ground among the crowd, and a woman shouting and crying; saw the prisoner going into his own door with the appearance of something in his hand; could not tell what it was, as it was nearly dark; it was like a stick, but longer; went into the house and heard a knocking on the outside, as with knuckles, and the person said the man was killed; ROBINSON then asked witness what would he do? witness said, what could he do? he said he would give himself up, and went out into the street; witness followed, and saw the deceased lying bleeding on the street; did not see the wound; the people said a Doctor shoud be sent for; went for Dr. SAMPSON, but he would not come, and when witness came back, Dr. McCORMICK was there; saw the wound then, on the left side of the head. John HARRIS, examined by Mr. SCHOALES. - Was within one door of ROBINSON's on this night; saw some people about the door as if they had got some drink; a man was knocking at the door to get in; saw another man come from the end of the house round the corner and catch the man by the left shoulder, and ask him what he meant, or what he was doing? he then gave him a push with the left hand, and struck him with his right hand; cannot tell what he had in his hand, but thinks he had something in it, as the blow had a sharp sound; the man went away round the corner again; don't know who the man was; don't know if it was the prisoner, as he had never seen him before; the prisoner was only pointed out to him since he came into town. John MULLIGAN, Policeman, examined by Mr. JOHNSTON. - Went to ROBINSON's house, in consequence of information he got; did not find ROBINSON there, but found him in the street, and took him into custody; went with him into his own house, and said to him that this was a bad job; prisoner said that it was indeed, but he could not help it, for he (deceased) was breaking his door; witness cautioned him to say nothing that would do himself any harm; he told witness nothing more.

[UlsterAncestry] You can Commemorate your Emigrant Ancestor
Hello Friends The Ulster Historical Foundation is looking to establish an 'Irish Migration Memorial'. (The UHF is a registered Non-Profit Society) Quotes from the newsletter and their website; "Interested parties can commemorate a specific ancestor, or family line that they have been researching. The Migration Memorial itself would be in the form of a tree on which members of the public can sponsor a leaf in memory of their ancestors. By supporting our proposed Migration Memorial you would also be contributing to the development of our "Genealogy Hub" - a dedicated research centre, library and lecture facility based in Northern Ireland. We are passionate about the history of Ulster and the story of the families that have lived in all nine counties of the historic province over the centuries. And we do it all without one penny of grant aid from government." https://www.ancestryireland.com/invest-in-our-future/ Teena -- www.cotyrone.com http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/ ___ UlsterAncestry@cotyrone.com UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/ulsterancestry@cotyrone.com/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/

[UlsterAncestry] Last Pt. 13 - Potato Blight 1846-49
This completes my in-depth look at the effects of the Famine Years 1846-49. The following articles are transcribed by Teena from the Banner of Ulster, Dublin Evening Mail, Dublin Mercantile Advertiser, Freeman's Journal, Northern Whig, and the Tyrone Constitution. (unless otherwise noted) 21 August 1849 The Tyrone Constitution regrets to state that during the last week, symptoms of a recurrence of the potato blight have greatly increased in this neighbourhood. The leaves and stalks exhibit the same blackened appearance, accompanied, in many cases, with a fetid smell from the fields. As yet the roots seem to be untouched. 8 Sept. 1849 Evictions in Ulster The territory of Farney in the county of Monaghan was for centuries a debatable land between the Irish of Ulster and the English of the Pale. The MacMAHONS were a stubborn race and fought long and bravely for the patrimony of their fathers. But time and the ceaseless border contests had thinned their ranks sorely and there were, but very few people left to resist the robbery when Elizabeth of England made the attainder of Shank O'NEILL a pretext for granting the entire county of Farney to Walter first Earl of Essex. The keen eye of the Earl had long before dwelt greedily on the rich acres and many military advantages of this important district and he never bated his solicitations at court until full powers for its possession and protection were accorded him. But he died before he had done more than take possession of his new fief, and the MacMAHONS, now by force and again as tenants held possession of it during the long minority and even to the death of his son, the splendid courtier, whose life and death alike, deeply stain the memory of Elizabeth. As he died attainted of treason, his estates were escheated to the crown, but the attainder was reversed upon the accession of James I, and Farney again passed into the hands his son, upon whose death without issue the inheritance of his estates devolved upon his sister Frances, Marchioness of Hertford and his nephew Sir Robert SHIRLEY. It is by the right of direct descent from the latter that Mr. Evelyn SHIRLEY is now quietly reproducing in Farney, by perfectly legal means, the calamities which, only protracted and desperate warfare could create there some centuries ago, and endeavouring as far as he can, to render it once more waste and depopulate. During the year 1846, 1847 and 1848, Mr. SHIRLEY practised extermination to an enormous extent, when we consider the small size of the entire district of which he only possesses one-half. The number of parties ejected from their holdings may have been something less than 300 per anum, averaging year with year. The 'tenant right' was, in some of these cases allowed, and in others, the parties ejected were furnished with the means of emigration. But this year ejectment is done on a wider, less decent, and more economical scale. Mr. SHIRLEY has served on the relieving officers of his district, through his agent, notice his intention to execute 245 evictions, and the Guardians of Carrickmacross union are already making preparations for the accommodation of Mr. SHIRLEY'S 1225 paupers, this being the estimated number of human beings whom he is driving out, to eat the bitter bread of public charity. While we are writing this perchance, even while it is being read, for this wholesale eviction is no one day’s work. Mr. SHIRLEY is turning out hordes of helpless men, women, and children on the wide world and levelling with the earth the simple homes where their people dwelt and died. This individual is of English birth and blood. He has not one Irish feeling, nor it would seem, one generous sympathy in his heart. He only knows that he and his absentee progenitors have been, for centuries, accustomed to draw a certain annual rental necessary to their support in English luxury, from Irish soil, and that for the last few years this rental has run a considerable risk of diminution. He is fully resolved to preserve this rental in its integrity. He has not reduced his rents that under the calamities which have afflicted them, his tenantry might have a chance of existence. He has been strict to the gale day and where his debtor proved bankrupt claimed literally his "pound of flesh". He would probably never have inquired how his ancestors acquired the right to this same rental, had not his son in account of Farney* published some years since, investigated the whole title and showed up (ingenuous youth!) the weary tissue of bloodshed and villainy, in which it is written that Farney became the prey of England, and the SHIRLEYS. If Evelyn Philip is ever tempted to continue the History of his father’s territory we will give him some hints towards its proper execution. He would, of course, include in the chapter on "Antiquities", an account of the hundreds of levelled cabins whose shattered walls blacken mournfully all over the esta
[UlsterAncestry] The Wreck of the 'Exmouth' 1847
ge, slowly increased the distance between the emigrants and their fatherland. A light south-west breeze bellied out the canvas, and in the afternoon, as the sun was sinking in the direction which the brig was to take, the hills of Old Ireland appeared like a light cloud in the distance and were quite lost sight of before dark. The wind had been gradually freshening, and shifting from the west to the north. It grew at length into a furious gale, and on Sunday night the poor emigrants, instead of their quiet cottages on shore, fragrant with peat smoke, found themselves confined between decks, terror-stricken at the creaking of the ship and the violence of the squalls which made the brig shiver again. On Monday the gale became stronger and the waves, after four-and-twenty hours of tempest, ran frightfully high. The "Exmouth" continually shipped heavy seas; and as each torrent thundered upon the decks, the emigrants in their despair thought their last hour had arrived. In the forenoon the long boat was un - shipped and washed away; another sea stove in the bulwarks; and lastly the lifeboat was carried away. Through the whole of Monday night the gale kept up its violence. and when Tuesday morning dawned it seemed as far as ever from ceasing. The sails were torn to pieces and blown from the ropes. The master of the brig, Captain BOOTH, was on Tuesday night, apprised of a light, of which one of the sailors caught a momentary glimpse when the brig rose to the top of a crest. Unfortunately, for himself, and the lives entrusted to his care, he considered it proceeded from an island on the north-west coast of Ireland. Approaching the light, he himself, became convinced of his error. Instead of the ample sea-room he believed he had, there lay, hard by the rocks of Islay. He was wrong in his reckoning, and fully alive to the perilous position in which his ship was placed, spared no effort to keep clear of the iron-bound shore. The men flew to the ropes, and set fresh sail, with a view to hauling the brig off. The captain. stationing himself in the maintop. looked anxiously at the land which threatened him; from this post he issued his orders to the crew. Their exertions were, however, too late to be of any use. The brig drifted surely towards land; the broken water soon seethed around her; and about half an hour after midnight of Tuesday, with some of her smaller sails standing, she dashed upon the rocks. Rebounding she returned with her full broadside exposed upon them. Once, twice, and thrice, she again struck. In the last shock the mainmast went by the board, and was carried into a deep chasm of the rocks. While the brig struck, the whole of the seamen rushed into the maintop, where the captain had, for an hour and a half been watching, and his grief was now heightened as he noticed that his son, a lad of fifteen years of age, was not amongst them. The boy had been left in his cot. Five of the crew thought they might stand a better chance of reaching land by exchanging the main for the foretop, and they put their idea into immediate action. When, therefore, the mainmast fell into the chasm, there went with it the captain and three seamen. These men, first COUTHARD, second LIGHTFORD, and third STEVENS, clung to the spar, and scrambling up the topmast rigging, secured foothold on the crags. The captain and others would have followed had not a returning wave broken upon them, washing them and the ship further into the sea. The mast might otherwise have been made a bridge of safety for the passengers. So vanished the last possibility of escape for the hapless beings who, in the howling of the storm, perished during that night. No one saw the brig break up; darkness enveloped the work of destruction which the rocks and waves were effectually carrying on. The three seamen who had escaped were the only survivors. They remained shivering in the crevice of the rock till daylight. Not a trace of the "Exmouth" was then visible; the emigrants, one, and all, had perished. At daybreak the three shipwrecked mariners clambered to the summit of the rocks, and with heavy steps sought a farm-house, to tell how of 254 living beings they alone were left to tell the tale of their loss. I need not add that by the homely, kindly Scotch folks these men were loaded with kindness. A score of bodies were afterwards washed ashore, battered by the rocks almost beyond recognition; these were the remains of some emigrants, who had probably hurried up at the striking of the brig, leaving their companions below. A few bodies were brought in occasionally by the surf, but the sea was too high to admit of their recovery, and they were carried out to be buried in the ocean depths.

[UlsterAncestry] Pt. 12 Potato Blight 1846-49
Hello Listers It appears there is 1 more part on my extracts on the Potato Blight 1846-49 to follow, which will bring us to the end of 1849. The following articles are transcribed by Teena from the Banner of Ulster, Dublin Evening Mail, Dublin Mercantile Advertiser, Freeman's Journal, Northern Whig, and the Tyrone Constitution. (unless otherwise noted) 12 May 1849 A Sign of the Times Waste Lands In the district country lying between Knappa and Benburb, about 3 miles, there are no less than 7 townlands covering an area of one thousand acres, totally unoccupied. Some 2 or 3 years ago this same district was inhabited by a comparatively wealthy population. Many other places are similarly circumstanced; so that our brethren in the south and west are not likely to have all the waste land to themselves- the baneful effects of legislative blundering, increasing our taxation while decreasing our means of paying it, are beginning to exhibit themselves in the Black North. Weekly Vindicator 8 Jun. 1849 death by Starvation An inquest was held last Saturday on the body of a man named Patrick MURTA, who lived Derryhaw, near Middletown, in this county. (Co. Armagh) Amongst the witnesses examined were T. J. TENISON Esq. J.P., and Mr. John GAMBLE, who knew the deceased to have been industrious man, using every effort to obtain sustenance, but unable to get employment to keep him alive. From Dr. CLARKE's statement of the emaciated state of the body of the unfortunate man, in conjunction with other evidence, the jury unanimously gave it their verdict that death was caused by starvation. Potato Crop As much anxiety is felt concerning this crop in consequence of slight symptoms of blight having been observed in one or two localities, we may state for the information of the public, that in this and the surrounding district, the crop never looked better, nor more healthy. Our informants being respectable, disinterested parties, the information may be relied on and the hopes of the people are well grounded, for with the blessing of providence, there will shortly be an abundant supply of good potatoes. Cholera During the last few days, we are sorry to say, several cases of cholera have occurred in this town (Newry). They have not all taken place in one neighbourhood, but in quarters widely apart from each other and, which is rather remarkable, all the parties attacked are females. Armagh Guardian 9 Jun. 1849 - Distressing case of Eviction near Buncrana A report having reached Buncrana on the evening of Wednesday last, that a girl, naned Biddy M'LAUGHLIN of Leophin, on the property of George HARVEY Esq., had been beaten almost to death by 2 bailiffs, in the employment of John MILLER Esq., the agent, in an attempt to drive her from the premises, of which the family she belonged had been lately dispossessed. I hastened to the spot to inform myself of the circumstances. I found the girl lying in a wretched little shed, built up within the open wallsteads of the house, from which the family had been lately evicted. She appeared terribly bruised and wounded; but in order to understand the full hardship of the case, I must relate briefly the history of the eviction from its commencement. Nancy M‘LAUGHLIN, alias M'GINNESS, a widow with 6 orphans, one of them the patient in question, occupied a small farm of land in the aforesaid townland. A short time ago, she was served with notice to quit, and was evicted at law. She owed, to be sure, some arrears of rent, but she had tendered what would put her on a level with the other tenants on the property. This offer was refused and when she found that her extermination had been determined on, she took the steamer in Derry for Liverpool, with scarcely a penny in her pocket, above her passage money, with a view tomake her way to Cheltenham, where her landlord George HARVEY Esq., resided and lay her case before him in person. She had no money to travel by railroad and set out on foot from Liverpool in the direction of London. According to her own statement, "she travelled one hundred miles in this direction, with swollen and bleeding feet and subsisting for three days at a time on one pound of Indian meal," when, partly from exhaustion, and partly from the advice of some humane persons she met with, she came to the resolution of acquainting her landlord, by letter, of her whereabouts and her errand. She remained at the end of her journey for 2 days or so, in expectation of an answer and some help to carry her back to Ireland and receiving neither, she set out again on foot, with heavy heart, to retrace her steps and visit her starving orphans and her cheerless home; not without a hope that the returning clemency of her agent might greet her with better news on her arrival. In the meantime and during the mother's absence, it had been intimated, I am informed, to the daughter (the now patient) that she might sell the lands to the highest and best bidder
[UlsterAncestry] Omagh Assizes 7 Aug. 1841
Hello Friends Following are the County of Tyrone Assizes, Omagh, transcribed by Jane from the Newry Telegraph August 7, 1841. Thank you Jane :-) County of Tyrone Assizes (from our reporter) Omagh, Monday, August 2 Bridget CONWAY, was endicted [sic] for stealing £7 from the person of James YOUNG, on the 27th of March last, at Omagh. Mr. MATURIN appeared as Counsel on behalf of the prisoner. James YOUNG, examined by Mr. SMILEY - Recollects being in the fair of Omagh, on the 27th of March last; in the evening of that day the prisoner came up to witness, on the street, and, thrusting her hand into his pocket, took from thence seven pounds; witness thereupon dragged her into a house, and detained her until the Police were sent for, when the money was found with her. Cross-examined by Mr. MATURIN - The time the prisoner came up to witness was not the first time he had seen her on that day; had invited her, before that to a house, where he treated her to some punch; witness was not quite sober; it was after witness came out of the house that he missed the notes; there were several persons in the street, as also in the house; when the prisoner was searched by the Police the money was not found; she afterwards voluntarily gave seven pounds to the Policeman; had no mark on the notes; cannot identify them; prisoner said she had taken the money; did not swear any information till the 12th of June. John DINER, Police Constable, examined by Mr. SCHOALES, Q.C. - Recollects the prosecutor having charged the prisoner with having robbed him; she handed witness £7, which he now produces. Cross-examined by Mr. MATURIN - Searched the prisoner, and found nothing on her; she afterwards gave him the seven pounds; the prisoner denied having robbed the prosecutor; she was never charged with any offence before; she lives with her father; cannot say whether or not the money belonged to him. His Lordship charged the Jury at considerable length, observing on the difference between the stories told by the prosecutor on his direct and cross-examination. The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty. His Lordship, in passing sentence, said, that, although the prisoner had been found guilty of a transportable offence, yet, considering all the circumstances of the case, the sentence of the Court should be only 8 months' imprisonment. Rape Thomas KELLY was indicted for having, on the 25th of February last, at Omagh, committed a rape on the person of Susan NUGENT. Susan NUGENT, an interesting looking little girl, apparently about 11 or 12 years of age, detailed the circumstances of the case, which were the same as stated at the Spring Assizes, the case having been tried then, on which occasion the Jury could not agree. She said that her father and mother were lying in fever, and that she was looking for some support for them and the other children; that coming to a house at the lower end of Main-street, in this town, and which it appeared was the house of the County Surveyor, Mr. RICHARDS, where the prisoner lived as servant, she found no person in the house but the prisoner. On asking him for charity, he, under pretence of giving her some meal, took, or rather forced her up stairs, into a small back room; and that he there forcibly committed the violence upon her person, of which she complained. Several witnesses were produced to prove corrorborating circumstances, - among others the medical gentleman, Dr. MAXWELL, who stated that he examined her person, immediately after she lodged the complaint against the prisoner, and that he found marks of recent violence, such as left no doubt on his mind that such had been committed. The defence of the prisoner was ably conducted by Mr. PEOPLES, and the evidence he brought forward tended to place the previous conduct of the prosecutrix in, at least, a very dubious light. One witness, a female, swore that on one occasion she came into her house and ran to her son and kissed him, and inquired about two others of her sons if they were "purty boys". Another witness swore that she could not get her kept from going out at night to the prostitutes on the street. The prisoner got a good character from Mr. RICHARDS, with whom he lived at the time. That gentleman admitted, however, that he had cause, on one occasion, to caution him against bringing females of an improper description about his place. He, also, got a good character from Mr. DENNY and Mr. BUCHANAN, with both of whom he had lived for some time. His Lordship then charged the Jury at great length, who immediately brought in a verdict of Not Guilty. The Court then adjourned.
