Emigration and Education Statistics, 1931, Co. Carlow
Carlow county is in the province of Leinster. It is bounded on the north by Kildare and Wicklow, on the east by Wicklow and Wexford, on the south by Wexford and west by Kilkenny & Laois (Queen’s county). It’s length from the Pollmounty river on the south to the northern boundary near Rathvilly is 32.5 miles; and it’s greatest breadth from Black Bridge to Ballyredmond near Clonegal on the east is 20 miles.
NAME AND FORMER DIVISIONS
The name of the county is derived from the town of Carlow, whose old name ‘Catherloch’ means quadruple lake, the tradition being that where the town now stands, the Barrow river anciently formed four lakes of which there is now no trace. ‘Moy-fea’ was the old name of a plain lying in the Barony of Forth, and the name for this Barony was derived from Ohy Finn Fothart, who having been banished by his nephew Art, son of “”Conn of the hundred Battles”” proceeded to Leinster. The King of Leinster bestowed certain districts upon him and his sons. Hy Felimy was a tribe and district in the Barony of Rathvilly; the tribe of Hy Drona gave its name to a territory part in Carlow and part in Kilkenny now represented by the Baronies of Idrone.
PHYSICAL FEATURES
The eastern half and parts of the west of the county produces fine granite for building. The Coal was mined in castlecomer in Co. Kilkenny which adjoins Carlow on the western side. ‘Carlow flags’ derived from a species of sandstone which splits into layers are ‘mined’ close to the Castlecomer coal fields. Nearly the whole county is level, and is generally fertile and well cultivated. On the south, east and extreme west, the county is skirted by mountains.These mountins with their heights in feet are as follows: Mount Leinster and the Blackstairs Mountains run for about 16 miles on the border of Carlow and Wexford. Greenoge (1,399) and Kilgrannish (1,335) are within the county. South of Kilgrannish is the Gap of Corrabut, running between this hill and Mount Leinster (2,610); Knockroe (1,746), is two miles farther south. South of this is Scullogue Gap, separating Mount Leinster from Blackstairs (2,409) which lies on the county boundary. The Rivers on the west are the Barrow, which for five miles forms the boundary between Carlow and Laois(Queen’s Co./Leix), and then flows through Carlow for 11 miles and for 19 miles more forms the boundary between counties Carlow and Kilkenny. On the east, the Slaney runs south for 18 miles through the county, and for 3 miles more it forms the boundary between counties Carlow and Wexford. It then enters Wexford. The Burren River rises north of Mount Leinster and flowing through the middle of the county joins the Barrow at Carlow from the county of Kilkenny. The Derreen entering Carlow from Wicklow, joins the Slaney 3 miles below Tullow. The Clody rises in Mount Leinster, and joins the Slaney at Newtownbarry, running the whole way on the boundary between Carlow and Wexford. The staple trade of county Carlow was corn, flour, meal, butter and provisions which were exported in large quantities.

The names of the people who leased property in Barragh Civil Parish, Co. Carlow are listed alphabetically below, with the name of the townland. The TAB for this parish is reasonably easy to read, you will see some questionmarks as to spellings. The surname Molton may in fact be Mollon or vice versa as the ‘t’ was crossed in some places and did not seem to be in others. In some instances when a person was leasing a second plot in the same townland there is a note which will say mountain, bog, plantation or house & garden. Other than this, the information supplied in the TAB is the acreage and the value.
Some of the townland names have not been identified as per the spelling if it was that in 1851. Some of the townlands listed as being part of Barragh Civil Parish in 1825 belonged to Ardoyne Civil Parish by 1851

Memorandums Made in Ireland, 1852, Co. Carlow
Extracts from ‘Memorandums made in Ireland in the Autumn of 1852’ by John Forbes, M.D., F.R.S. Vol. I, London. Publishers: Smith, Elder & Co., Cornhill, 1853
We reached Carlow about seven o’clock, having travelled according to our post-boy’s reckoning, 35 Irish miles from Arklow. We put up at a very good inn, called the Club House. Though the country we had passed over is but little travelled, and nearly the whole tract may be regarded as a cross-country, the roads were by no means bad. Our post-chaises, to be sure, were in a rather dilapidated condition, but the horses were good, and the drivers active and obliging.
Carlow, the capital of the county of the same name, is a very handsome town, with more than the ordinary display of public buildings in good style. It contains the ruins of a fine old castle, said to have been built by the famous De Lacy in the eleventh century. One front wall and two corner towers still remain, the latter upwards of sixty feet high. A singular piece of barbarism – it may almost be called sacrilege – was committed on this beautiful ruin, within the last forty years, by a man who, from his education, ought to have had some regard for such relics of antiquity. A physician wishing to adapt the building for the purposes of a lunatic asylum, set about blasting with gunpowder some portions of the walls, and brought down about his ears more than half the structure. One cannot help wishing that it had been brought down literally about his ears. How such an act could have been permitted under the cognisance of the authorities of the town is marvellous. Both the English and the Catholic churches are remarkably fine buildings, the one surmounted by a handsome spire, the other by a still handsomer tower: the latter is the cathedral church of the Catholic dioceses of Kildare and Leighlin. There are also here a Catholic college, with a handsome chapel attached to it, and a convent; a jail, lunatic asylum, infirmary, and a very handsome court-house, only recently erected.
Carlow lies on the banks and near the union of the two rivers, the Barrow and the Burren, the former of which divides the county of Carlow from the Queen’s County (Laois). A portion of the town is situated in the latter and goes by the name of Graigue. It is connected with Carlow proper by a handsome stone bridge called Wellington Bridge. The barrow is navigable by barges down to Waterford ; and the town is now also connected by railway with Kilkenny on the one hand, and with Dublin on the other.
The population of Carlow, by the last census, was, including the suburb of Graigue, 8687, being a decrease of 1722 since 1841. The great majority of the inhabitants are Catholics. According to the official returns of 1834, the proportion of the different religions in the parish were as follows: Catholics, 7843 ; Church of England, 1755 ; Presbyterians and other dissenters, 106.
I had not time to visit any of the public institutions of Carlow, nor to make any very special inquiries into other matters. I may state however, that according to the last two Reports of the National Schools, that of Carlow had on its books in September 1850, boys, 351 ; girls, 604 ; and in September 1851, boys, 288; girls, 452.
Strong in its Catholic tendencies as Carlow is, it has its staunch Protestantism also; the stauncher, no doubt, because of the strength of these very tendencies. I here met with a most intelligent gentleman of this persuasion, who was not a whit less prejudiced and jaundiced by his Orange principles than was the small farmer and ex-soldier of Wicklow, formerly mentioned. He thought that no compromise should be made with the Catholics, and that every effort should be made to extirpate their religion at least, if not themselves. He, however, admitted that the Protestant clergy had made a great mistake in withdrawing the children of their flock from the National Schools, as they had thereby thrown all the educational advantages of this system into the hands of their opponents.
While admitting with all the world that the temperance movement of Father Matthew had done infinite good to the people in their social position, he could not refrain from deprecating it as a measure calculated to enhance the authority of the priests, and to strengthen the anti-Protestant spirit among the lower classes. From everything I have seen and heard in Ireland, I believe no imputation could be more groundless than this, and that there never was a reform undertaken with a more single eye to good than this temperance movement, incomparably the greatest efforts of modern philanthropy, after that of education.
I learned from the conversation of this gentleman, what was confirmed from various other sources subsequently, that many of the proprietors of the encumbered estates already sold, had been enabled to repossess themselves of much of their property by certain arrangements made with the principal creditors, and by borrowing money to effect the re-purchase at a depreciated value.
St. Patrick’s College Carlow Report, 1866
Printed by T. Price, 55 Dublin St.
“One scheme put forward by the Liberal administration in 1866 proposed to grant a supplemental charter to the Queen’s University, empowering it to examine and confer degrees on students other than those of the Queen’s colleges. A bill on these lines was introduced and carried by a narrow majority. The supplemental charter was issued but its legality was at once contested in the courts by some supporters of secular education, and an injunction was obtained setting it aside” – David Kennedy , ‘Towards a University’ , 1946, p. 56.
The conditions required in affiliated Colleges by the Senate of the Queen’s University are fulfilled by St. Patrick’s College, Carlow.
Affiliated Colleges are required to have a competent Staff of Professors instructing Students in the course of Studies prescribed by the Senate as the curriculum for a candidate for the Degree of Bachelor in Arts.
The curriculum of Studies, prescribed by the Senate of the Queen’s University, at Page 9 of their Regulations, comprises any four of the following subjects for the Degree of B.A. :-
English Language and Literature, Latin, Mathematical Sciences, Modern Continental Languages, Experimental Physics, Logic, Chemistry, Metaphysics, Zoology, History, Botany, Political Economy, Greek.
At present Carlow College has a competent Staff of Professors instructing Students in all the above subjects, except Botany and Political Economy.
If the Senate deem these subjects necessary, Professorships of Botany and Political Economy will be forthwith instituted.
The following are the Professors of St. Patrick’s College, Carlow, exclusive of the Faculty of Theology:-
Logic and Moral Philosophy, Rev. Dean Tynan.
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, Rev. P. Fitzsimons.
Chemistry and Chemical Physics, Rev. J. Kavanagh, D.D.
Animal Physiology and Zoology, Thomas O’Mara, Esq., M.B. Ex-University Medical
Scholar, London.
Greek and Latin Languages and Literature, Rev. E. Loughrey, J. G. Conroy, Esq., J. W. Barron, Esq.
Modern History and English Literature, Rev. J. Farrell.
Ancient History and Geography, Rev. J. Colgan.
French Language, Rev. R. Coffey.
Elementary Mathematics, O’Connell Leyne, Esq.
Music, Mr. J. J. Gormley.
German and Italian Languages, Vacant.
All the Professors of Carlow College are resident, and give their labours to their professional duties exclusively except the Professors of Physiology and Drawing.
The success of the Students of Carlow College in the University of London, and the Text Books used in the Institution will I presume, be deemed satisfactory evidence as to the character of the teaching.
The curriculum of the Non-Matriculated Students of Carlow college is the course of Studies required for Matriculation in the University of London which embraces Mathematics and Algebra. including-
Progressions and Simple Equations. Geometry. The First Four Books of Euclid. Natural Philosophy. Mechanics. Hydrostatics. pneumatics. Hydraulics. Acoustics. Optics (Elementary). Heat. Chemistry. Greek and Latin Languages.
The books required for the present year are the Adelphi of Terence and the Memorabilia of Xenephon. English Language. Writing. Dictation. History .and Grammatical Structure of English History , Modern Geography, French or German Language.
The curriculum of the Matriculated Students of Carlow College is the course of studies required for the first and second B.A. examinations in the University of London: which embraces: Arithmetic and Algebra. including Logarithms and Quadratic Equations. Geometry , including the Sixth Book and part of the Eleventh Book of Euclid, plane Trigonometry , Co-ordinate Geometry , Latin Language, Roman History , English History, English Language. French or German Language, English Literature.
The subjects of the second B.A. Pass Examinations are :-
Mechanical and Natural Philosophy, treated experimentally and mathematically (See Calendar. p. 55). Statics, Dynamics, Hydrostatics, Hydraulics. Pneumatics, Optics (Geometrical). Optics (Physical). Acoustics, Astronomy, Animal Physiology, Greek Language, Latin Language.
The Books for the present year are Thucydides and Cicero. History of Greece. Logic and Moral Philosophy.
On comparing this curriculum with the course of studies required at page Nine of Regulations published by the Senate of the Queen’s University, I find that this curriculum embraces all the subjects there specified except: Zoology, Botany, and political Economy, and that it includes the subjects of Animal Physiology and Astronomy, which are not required by the Regulations of the Senate of the Queen’s University.
The names of the Students of St. Patrick’s college, Carlow, who have obtained degrees in the University of London are given on Page 15 in this Report.
Since the opening of the current academic year, students are being prepared as usual in St. Patrick’s College, Carlow, for the examinations for first B.A. and second B.A. and for Matriculation in the University of London.
If the examinations for Matriculation, and for the first B.A. and second B.A., in the University of London be as difficult as the examination for the same degrees in other Universities, which is universally admitted, and which the examination papers of the several calendars sufficiently prove, the competency of the Professors of St. Patrick’s College to train for University Degrees in Arts cannot be denied or questioned, as they have sent in students to the University of London with distinguished success.
In June, 1864, a Carlow student obtained a sufficient number of marks for an exhibition, but was defeated by superior merit. In June, 1865, one Carlow student obtained honours and four passed, two having obtained first class. In June, 1866, seven Carlow students passed, four in the first class.
I am not aware that any other institution in Ireland not enjoying the privilege of a Charter, can afford more satisfactory evidence of the competency of its professors and of the character of its teaching. Text Books used in Carlow College:
English Language – Angus Adams’ Latham.
English Literature – Craik, Shaw, Hazlit, Guizot, Gervinus.
Pure Mathematics -Barnard Smith and Colenso’s Arithmetic, Todhunter’s Algebra, Todhunter’s Trigonometry, Lardner’s Euclid, Todhunter’s Conic Sections, Todhunter’s Differential and Integral Calculus.
Mixed Mathematics -Parkinson’s Mechanics, Phare’s
Hydrostatics, Parkinson’s Optics, Potter’s Physical Optics,
Herschell’s Astronomy, Gant’s Astronomy, parts I and 2,
Lardner’s acoustics.
Experimental Physics -Ganot’s Physics, Millar’s Chemical Physics.
Chemistry- Dr. Odling’s Manual of Chemistry, Williamson’s Chemistry , Millar’s Chemistry.
Logic and Moral Philosophy -Bouvier, Mill, Lafonet, Aldrich, Thompson, Hamilton.
An extensive Library is open to the students, which contains the best books of reference in Classics, Literature and History.
A distinct course of lectures is delivered and Catechetical instructions are given in all the subjects required by the curriculum, prescribed by the Senate of the Queen’s University (b).
The names of the Professors and the subjects of lectures are given at page 10 of this Report.
Sessional Examinations are held twice in each Academic year. They commence on the second Monday in December, and the second Monday in June, and each student is examined before a Board of Examiners consisting of all the Professors of the College.( 3rd condition required in affiliated colleges)
A local Examiner, sent by the Senate of the University of London, holds Provincial Examinations at Carlow College three times each year in June, for Matriculation; in July, for first B.A., and in October for second B.A. Persons who were not pupils of the College were admitted to these examinations last year .
The College has a Laboratory and a large Lecture-room provided with apparatus and appliances to teach the physical Sciences effectively.(4th condition required in affiliated colleges)
All the students of Carlow College, both ecclesiastical and secular, seek the advantage of a University Degree, and since the London University granted to the College the privilege of a local Examiner, the curriculum has been so framed that every ecclesiastical student is expected to take the degree of B.A. before he is permitted to commence his Theological Studies.
The Junior Students on the annexed list are in the preparatory school of St. Mary’s, situate in the country, two miles from the large College, under a distinct staff of masters not enumerated in the above list of Professors.
There are 190 students in Carlow College, all resident. See printed list of the names and ages of the students

Serious Case of Stabbing
A most serious case of the above nature occurred at Carrigslaney, County Carlow, on the 14th instant, which seems to have originated in some previous quarrel. Two men, named Philip Furlong and John Williams, alias Foster had some altercation at the above place, when Furlong asked Foster to fight him. Foster said he would not fight then, but go look for a person to be present, and who would see fair play. Foster then went away, and returned in a short time by himself, having a stick in his hand and a bayonet, which he concealed under his coat. Furlong asked him was he coming back to fight him, when Foster raised the stick, and gave Furlong a blow on the head. Foster then took the bayonet from under his coat, and stabbed Furlong in the breast and lower part of the body. A man named Thomas Dowdle, who came up at this time, ran to the assistance of Furlong, when Foster stabbed him in the head, from the effects of which he now lies dangerously ill, and very little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Informations have been taken before J. J. Lecky, and C. Wolseley Esqrs., and a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Foster, who has absconded.

Attempt to Burn a House
On the 16th instant, an attempt was made by some persons unknown to burn the house of a man named Robert Jolly, who resides near Clonegall, county Carlow. The thatch was set on fire near the eave, but the family being up at the time, the fire was discovered, and its progress checked before any serious injury was committed. That the outrage was premeditated may be known from the fact that a threatening notice was posted on his house about a month previously; but as yet no clue has been obtained that would lead to the discovery of the parties who committed this outrage.

Extract\’s from \’The History of the Queen\’s county\’
Parish of Cloydagh
CHAPTER XVI.-PARISH OF CLOYDAGH.
This parish is situated, partly in the barony of Slievemargy, in the Queen\’s County, but chiefly in the baronies of West Idrone, and of Carlow, in the County of Carlow. The former section contains 788 a.0r 28p., and of these 245 a. 2r 33p.-a small part of Cloghgrennan are detached in the Queen\’s County, yet contiguous to the Carlow portions of the parish; while 1r. 32p. are islands in the River Barrow, which flows from north to south through it (the parish of Cloydagh is described by Mr. Thomas O\’Connor in a letter, dated Leighlin Bridge, June 20th, 1839 in \’Letters relating to the Antiquities of the County of Carlow containing information collected during the Progress of the Ordnance Survey in 1839) The Carlow barony section contains 1265 a. 2r 11p, and of this area 27 a. 1r. 32p are in the River Barrow; while the West Idrone barony section comprises 2889 a. 2r. 29p., and of this area 22 a. 0r. 8p., are islands in the River Barrow. It is also called Clody or Clogrennan, as the Clogrennan hills lying to the east and south of the Slievemargy range slope down steeply on the Queen\’s County side to the River Barrow. The principal peak is 1038 feet above the sea-level. The soil is good with limestone substratum. Coal is procured at the Bilboa colliery. The lands along the Barrow are very fertile, as are those uplands immediately near, but they become barren as you ascend the summits, from which most charming scenic effects are obtained, as in one place the elevation is considerably above the district lying eastwards.
This parish was a vicarage and a separate benefice in the diocese of Leighlin, the diocesan being the patron. Popularly, it is now called Clogrennan. Cloydagh had a residence in 1616, and it was an impropriate rectory, Keating being the vicar. The church and chancel were in good repair, and a Communion Book was possessed. That old church of this parish is now to be seen in ruins, and surrounded by a burial-ground, within the beautiful demesne of the Rochfort family.(some inscriptions on the tombs are given in Ryan\’s \”History and Antiquities of the Co. of Carlow, chap xxxi., pp. 334,335). The ornamental grounds skirt the public road from Carlow to Leighlin Bridge, and they extend along the western banks of the River Barrow. They are also on the slope of the Cloghrennan Hills. The former old church of this parish was in a good state of preservation in the summer of 1839; and at that time the measured length of the structure inside was 59 ft. 6 in., and its breadth was 18 ft. On the east gable was to be seen a large window, topped with a pointed arch. On the inside it began within two feet from the ground, and was 5 ft. broad in the lower part. On the outside it commenced within 4 ft. from the ground, and was 4 ft. broad in the lower part, rising to a height of no less than 12 ft. Near the west gable and in the south side wall there was a door having a pointed arch. There was another door opposite to it in the side wall, the opening running to the top of the wall, the upper part of which had been destroyed. The church was built of chiselled granite.
Here, also, on the banks of the River Barrow is to be seen Clogrennan Castle, now in ruins and covered with ivy. This formerly belonged to the Ormond family; Sit Edward Butler had raised the standard of revolt against the English Government in the sixteenth century. He held this castle, but it was taken from him by Sir Peter Carew in 1568. In 1641, it was besieged by the Irish. It was relieved, however, by Colonel Sir P. Wemys. At this place, the Marquis of Ormond mustered his forces, before proceeding to Dublin in 1649, when the battle of Rathmines took place. It is said, that after his defeat at the battle of the Boyne, James II. encamped at a place known as Bawn Ree ; however, for this statement, there seems to be no confirmation.
There is a grave-yard in the townland of Cloghrea in this parish, and it is only a short distance eastwards from the River Barrow. No vestiges of a church are within it. The Protestant church here was built in 1800, through a gift of £461 10S. 9 1/2 d. from the Board of First Fruits.
Some thirty years later, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners added a grant of £167 5s. 11d. for repairs. The glebe-house was built, in 1813, by a gift of £400, and a loan of £360, from the Board of First Fruits. The glebe comprised six acres, subject to a rent of £4 4s. an acre. The hamlet of Milford on the River Barrow is within this parish, and celebrated for its extensive flour-mills, which in the beginning of the last century carried on a flourishing trade by means of canal-boat communication with Dublin. At another spot, Killeeshal Fort on the west side and near the arrow is a remarkable circular enclosure.
In 1831, the population of this whole parish was 1422; the number in Carlow barony being 204, and in West Idrone barony being 903. Consequently the remaining 315 lived in the barony of Slievemargy. In 1834, the Roman Catholic population was 1,168 for this whole parish, while the Protestants numbered 343. In 1837, the estimated area of this parish was 4737 statute acres, of which 290 were woodland and 324 moorland, the remainder being arable and pasture; while 3764 acres were applotted under the Tithe Act, and they were valued at £3774 per annum. In 1841, the population of this whole parish was 1499. living in 240 houses. The population was thus distributed, viz. :-
That of Carlow barony section was 211, in 27 houses; that of Idrone West section 997, living in 161 houses, while that in Slievemargy barony was 291, living in 52 houses. In 1846 the rectorial tithes were compounded for £184 12s. 3 3/4 d., being impropriate in Colonel Henry Bruen and W. Fishbourne, Esq. The vicarial tithe composition was £92 6s. 1 3/4 d., with a glebe valued at £25 4s. ; the gross income being £117 10s. 1 3/4 d and the nett being £77 17s: 8 3/4 d. At present the incumbent has an annual stipend of £250. A Catholic chapel is in this parish, belonging to the Union of Old Leighlin, Wells, Clonmulsk, and Cillinane; and the religious history of the Union is traced under the heading of the Parish of Leighlin, by the Most Rev. Dr. Comerford.
