Note to researchers regarding
revised (R) Dunleckney Parish Registers;
The
revised Dunleckney Parish Baptisms and Dunleckney Parish Marriages
are cross-referenced commencing 1820. This will allow the researcher
to “peek ahead” to find siblings; the previous registers would only
allow the researcher to look into the past for records.
These latest
transcriptions also contain references to the Tithe Applotment,
(TA), Griffith’s Valuation, (GV), and in some circumstances,
Dunleckney Cemetery Inscriptions, (DCI). These references are
annotized TA, GV, and DCI respectively. On the National Library of
Ireland website, the Tithe Applotments for Agha Civil Parish of
Carlow were erroneously placed with Waterford County, Affane Civil
Parish records; the Tithe Applotments for Lorum Civil Parish were
erroneously placed with Meath County,
Loughbrackan Civil Parish
records. Where these records are applicable the date will have an
asterisk in the “Notes'' column on the right side of the page (i.e.,
TA 1827*). Asterisks on the left column just refer to my ancestry.
- NOTE!
- The dates
which appear on the right under the heading 'Notes' can be used to
cross-references to other baptisms from the same family. I was hoping that
other researchers would be able to find one entry and then cross reference
it to other sibling baptisms this way. In theory, if the family was
Catholic and were all baptized in Dunleckney Catholic Parish then a
researcher could find the rest of the family easily.
Where
you see the date with an "R" after the date, ie 1820R, signafies a revised
version of that record.

Dunleckny – Dún Leicne – Fort
of the Hill Side
Church of Ireland church
(image below)
The churchyard at Dunleckny contains
the ivy-covered ruins of two churches. The detached three-bay,
single cell
Church of Ireland was built in the late eighteenth but
abandoned in the early nineteenth century when services were
transferred to St Mary’s Church, Bagenalstown. The ruin to the
right, now almost completely covered with ivy is of a much
older church. At the beginning of the thirteenth century this
church was granted to the nunnery of Graney. The present
remains consist of a rectangular structure which is probably
medieval in date.
In the older church is a plaque to
the memory of two eighteenth-century parish priests. It was
erected by Fr. Michael Pendergast in 1810 and commemorates his
uncle and grand-uncle, both, like himself, priests of
Dunleckny. This reveals a typical tradition of priesthood
within Irish families.
The burial ground around the church
contains many interesting gravestones. There is also a private
graveyard for the Bagenals and Veseys of Dunleckney Manor.
Walter Bagenal founded the nearby town of Bagenalstown in the
1700s. He had visions of mirroring the city of Versailles in
northern France and built a grand courthouse and some public
buildings. Shortly after his efforts were frustrated by the
re-routing of the coach road away from the town. His
courthouse is now the town library.
