QUEENSLAND FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY PRESENTS.....IRELAND TO AUSTRALIA
IRELAND TO AUSTRALIA
When: Saturday, 13 June 2015 - 9.00 am to 12.30 pm
Where: Queensland Baptists Conference Centre, 53 Prospect Road, Gaythorne
Cost: $15.00 members and $20 non-members (includes morning tea)
Ireland to Australia: Researching your Irish ancestorsPresenter/s: Dr Richard Reid and Mary King
Mary King was born and educated in Queensland. Using her Bachelor of Education degree, she spent her working life teaching in Queensland schools. Most of Mary's ancestors who came to Australia were Irish, which has enabled her gain practical knowledge and experience while researching her Irish ancestors and helping others as Convenor of the QFHS Irish Interest Group since 2003.
Learning to think Irish in a new way: This presentation will assist, in a practical and knowledgeable way, with Irish research in current times. It will show how Irish research has changed and how to use these changes to dispel the myth that Irish research is too difficult to undertake.
 Dr Richard Reid born in Ireland and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, came to Australia in 1972. He obtained a Ph.D. on the topic of Irish assisted emigration to NSW, 1848-1870.
He has published a number of books including Farewell My Children: Irish Assisted Emigration to Australia, 1848-1870 and A decent set of girls: The Irish Famine Orphans of the Thomas Arbuthnot, 1849-1850. Read more...
The great tide of emigration: 19th century Irish emigration to Australia. ‘The great tide of emigration’ was how one newspaper described the vast numbers of Irish emigrants leaving Ireland, bound for North America, yet proportionally Australian received more Irish immigrants making this the most Irish country outside Ireland. This presentation will provide some answers as to how this happened and suggest how family historians might investigate the journey of their Irish forebears.
There is no person starving here: Australia and the Great Famine in Ireland, 1845-1850 The Great Famine in Ireland, 1845-50, is one of the few events in Irish history that most Australians with Irish forebears have heard of. They may think that their own ancestors were in some way affected by this catastrophe. What happened during the Famine and how did it impact on Australia?

THE GREAT PARCHMENT BOOK: Acts of the Corporation of Coleraine, 1623–1669
This has been a great project.. have you heard of it?
Acts of the Corporation of Coleraine, 1623–1669
"
Dr BrÃd McGrath of Dublin, who is editing an edition of the Acts of the Corporation of Coleraine, 1623–1669 for the Irish Manuscripts Commission, has written to say how useful she has found the Great Parchment Book:
"I really wish to congratulate everyone involved in this project on an extraordinary achievement. It's an exceptionally useful source for the history of the period, including the extent and layout of the town and the defence obligations, not to mention the bits about women, about whom we have in general very little information.
It's amazing how many members of Coleraine's town council could not sign their names. Quite astonishing, but absolutely in line with my view of them."
The Acts of the Corporation of Coleraine, 1623–1669, which is still in private hands, records the decisions taken by the Common Council of Coleraine for the period 1623–1669. Sources for Coleraine are rather limited and the Great Parchment Book is invaluable in providing some identification and personal information about some of its citizens. Dr McGrath is referring to it in the footnotes to her edition, identifying Coleraine's inhabitants.
It is hoped that Dr McGrath's book will be published within the next few months.

ALL ARE WELCOME
Background..
BINDON STREET AND BANK PLACE
THE GROTTOS OF ENNIS
Next Thursday night the 14th May at 8.00 p.m. in the Old Ground Hotel, Clare Roots Society will launch two books, Bindon Street and Bank Place by Lucille Ellis and The Grottos of Ennis by Mary Fealy McMahon. The books will be launched by the Mayor of Ennis Municipal District Cllr. Johnny Flynn.
Both authors have published previous books with the Society.
Lucille is author of Ennis at Work in the 19th Century while Mary published Memories of Cusack Road / Claureen.
Bindon Street and Bank Place and the people who brought the street to life
tells the story of the building of the street and the unusual and interesting experiment in building speculation which took place in 1836 called “The Tontine”. We are introduced to the background of the women of Bindon Street and the story of those who spent their lives in service in the street. Along with researching the residents on each of the streets she has researched the buildings and people associated with the Banks, Post Office and St. Columba’s Church and the Clergy.
The first house to be built on Bindon Street is the current Number 12 now occupied by Casey Solicitors. The next houses to be built are the current Numbers 3 to 6 which date from 1832. We learn that in 1855 a Presentment was made to the Clare Grand Jury to build a new road between Mr. William Kean’s house in Bindon Street (No 6) and the end of Bow Lane in High Street including a new bridge, later to be known as Carrolls Bridge. This bridge was completed in 1862. The National Bank building was completed in 1864 and the new church was built between 1869 and 1871 at the end of Bindon Street.
The research includes the standard building blocks in family research, Civil birth, marriage and death records and the parallel Church records, the Griffiths land valuation records along with the Valuation books and Field books which continued the ownership of land records up to the mid-twentieth century. Use was also made of the 1901 and 1911 censuses, leases of lands, and marriage settlements. Some of the best sources of information came from the newspapers of the day, both local and national.

The book is illustrated throughout with newspaper advertisements and
photographs, old and new.
Lucille Ellis was born and is living in Dublin but has two grandparents from Clare. Twenty years of family history research have established that related families are still living in West Clare and East Clare on the same lands, since the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries respectively, with one branch having Ennis connections. Now retired, she has the time to spend on her two interests of family and local history in County Clare.
The Grottos of Ennis & Surrounding Areas takes us to 19 locations where we get a brief history of the following Grottos: Ballybeg, Buttermarket, Cathedral, Connelly Villas, Dalcassian Park, Davitt Terrace, Erinagh Fountain, Franciscan Friary, Hempfield, Claremont, Clarecastle, Hermitage, Lees Road, Loughville, Marian Avenue, Market Street, McHugh Villas, Peoples Park Lifford, Poor Clares Convent, Our Lady’s Hospital, St. Michael’s Villas.
The book tells the story of the background and people associated with the erection of these grottos.
While the bulk of the grottos date back to the Marian Year in 1954 we also are brought up to date with the one in Dalcassian Park, erected in 2001. In addition we get a reminder of the long removed Grotto of Market Street through a rare photo.
Mary Fealy McMahon was born in Claureen Road and is daughter of Mary Byrth and James Fealy. She currently lives at Cahercalla Estate with her husband Gerry. A lady with a keen interest in family history and painting, she and Gerry were founding members of Clare Roots Society.
