Patrick Dorrian, Bishop of Down and Connor, 1865-85
Author: Ambrose MacaulayPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
Patrick Dorrian was bishop during Belfast's fastest growth period. During his episcopate sectarian tension and strife between Catholic and Protestant in Belfast grew as fast as the population. Since the religious and social divisions of Belfast shaped the political climate, his biography becomes important in understanding the history of Belfast, as well as the history of the Catholic Diocese of Down and Connor.
A Modern Legal History of Treasure
Author: N.M. DawsonPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031128338
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 639
Book Description
This book examines treasure law and practice from the rise of the new science of archaeology in the early Victorian period to the present day. Drawing on largely-unexamined state records and other archives, the book covers several legal jurisdictions: England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland pre- and post-independence, and post-partition Northern Ireland. From the Mold gold cape (1833) to the Broighter hoard (1896), from Sutton Hoo (1939) to the Galloway hoard (2014), the law of treasure trove, and the Treasure Act 1996, are considered through the prism of notable archaeological discoveries, and from the perspectives of finders, landowners, archaeologists, museum professionals, collectors, the state, and the public. Literally and metaphorically, treasure law is revealed as a ground-breaking chapter in the history of the legal protection of cultural property and cultural heritage in Britain and Ireland.
Researching Down Ancestors
Author: Ian MaxwellPublisher: Ulster Historical Foundation
ISBN: 9781903688014
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Of all the nine counties of Ulster, none can claim a more cosmopolitan and fascinating history than Down. In ancient times it formed part of the ancient kingdom of the Ulaid; the Dal Fiatach, the most important of the groupings of tribes of Ulaid, came to dominate the east of the county with their capital at Downpatrick. Vikings came to raid and then settled along the coast. Later the Normans seized control of the Dal Fiatach kingdom constructing castles, monasteries and abbeys before becoming 'hibernicised'. In the seventeenth century, thousands of Scottish and English settlers poured into Down, establishing themselves in the north and east of the county. Meanwhile the native Irish were able to preserve their way of life in south Down where their close-knit communities were sufficiently well organised under their traditional leaders to co-exist with the newcomers. The distribution of surnames in the couty provides lasting evidence of its complex history. The purpose of this book is to provide a practical guide for the family historian searching for ancestors in County Down. It is true that many records have been lost, including those in the destruction of the Public Record Office in Dublin in 1922. However, much has survived to aid the dedicated family or local historian. Moreover, it has become increasingly accessible in the detailed catalogues and user-friendly searching aids in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. Because of the breadth of the material covered, this book will appeal both to the experienced researcher and to the novice. Of particular value are the detailed listings of the records of landed estates, churches and schools, as well as the appendices listing townlands and unofficial place-names for the county.
