NOTE

I have no Contents indices for 1916, 1917 or 1918.

In 1920 the following preface was in the Journal:
“”The Council of the Society decided a year ago to save some of the greatly increased cost of printing by issuing no Journal in 1919, but supplying an enlarged number in 1920 to serve for the two years.
The members asked the editor to bring it out early, but it has been delayed, solely through his procrastination, to the end of the year, and while he has no grounds on which to excuse himself, he wishes to express his real regret for his neglect.
December 1920.””

The Index to the Contents of this volume also lists reports and balance sheets for the year 1916 which seems to indicate that there were no publications between 1915 and 1920, given the Preface above.

Murray – here given that the Christian name still begins with an ‘L’ and the man is also a Rev., it is assumed that the two names refer to the same person. It is said in the literature that Irish families who had dropped the ‘O’ and ‘Mc’ in past generations took it on again after the uprising in 1916.)
