I will digest this very carefully, indeed, Barry. I'm not sure I fully
understand the exact differences clearly enough yet, and their significance;
so will beaver away at it. I'll probably be back with a question, two or
three — maybe offline or we'll be banished from Fermanagh-GOLD?! My Gilhuly
family lived within sight (or close) to the ruins of the old Cromwellian
Castle of Ardnaglass. I surely would be delighted to know who the Reverend
was, if such is findable. One scholar I met in Cambridge told me that, prior
to Achill and his later rectorship in Skreen, Nangle had had preached in
Skreen, and in the right time period of the 1820s. My history prof, Des
Bowen, wrote in his 1995 History of the Shaping of Irish Protestantism, that
"once a Catholic individual or family was identified with such apostasy
[i.e. conversion] the local resentment was usually so fierce that they were
forced often to emigrate...." Am very excited about this post of yours.
Thanks.
