Sheila,
I understand that the Clare Heritage Centre has the early register but I cannot confirm that as I have not approached them. Apparently the Parish Priest held them earlier, not sure exactly when.
Sorry I am not more specific.

Wespendorf Language Teacher
Has anyone come across Emilius Wespendorf from Dresden, Germany who was appointed language teacher in Ennis College in 1839. He was in Dublin in the late 1850s but his CV indicates that he had been in Ennis up to then. I can find no mention of him in Ennis after his appointment, but could someone li...

Re: Canadian soldiers in Ennis 1918
Many thanks Jimbo for drawing my attention to that article. I had missed it entirely. There were in fact many more medics on board that day including 18 Royal Army Medical corps, two of whom Harriett Wheelock references. As for the nurses a touch of #MeToo was required - there were five Clare nurses...

Re: Canadian soldiers in Ennis 1918
An update on this query and a happy outcome! More information has come to light in the form of a diary written by one of the soldiers, Joe Pearson. They went to Ennis to visit his godfather, Thomas Brennan. The latter had been in Australia at the same time as the Pearsons. Brennan had returned to Ir...

Re: Canadian soldiers in Ennis 1918
Thanks Jimbo and Murf for your interest. Would you believe that I never thought of women!!! I have researched the Davoren sisters quite thoroughly and neither worked in military hospitals, but they could have met in a social setting. I had been working on two theories - one, that they were visiting ...

Canadian soldiers in Ennis 1918
Hi all This is a long shot - I am trying to find out why two Canadian servicemen travelled to Ennis for two days in October 1918. As part of the upcoming centenary commemoration in the National Maritime Museum in Dun Laoghaire of the sinking of the mailboat RMS Leinster by German torpedo in the Iris...

Re: Anything to read on the making of the 25 inch map?
Hi Sheila
That book was "Mapping the Past: Searching for five brothers at the edge of empire" by Charles Drazin.
I got the book through the public library system so you should be able to access it too.
Thanks for your kind words about my book. I enjoyed writing it.

Re: Anything to read on the making of the 25 inch map?
Hi Sheila, I have been working on (pottering around, more like!) that very subject for a couple of years, and like you, I have found almost nothing written on the subject. I was framing the research of the Ordnance Survey on College House in Ennis, which was taken over by the OS as their headquarter...

Re: Need suggestions on where to publish an article

Articles are of a high quality, extensive sources are often given and presentation is excellent. I'm ...

Sheila Your work on these transcriptions is absolutely phenomenal, but I really have to take my hat off to you to have tackled Miltownmalbay. I have been up and down those records and they are difficult. Well done and thank you. Probably the reason for the difference in quality, and also quantity, o...

Re: Chicago address
As an Irish woman I would have to reply to that last post -
"That beats Banagher" https://www.irishtimes.com/news/that-be ... r-1.318057
Saying that Ashland is "among the longest in Chicago", does that imply that there are others of similar length?
