The Vandeleur Evictions

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

    Clare Library has a lot of info on the evictions including here: The 15th of July was Sunday-and before the weekend large contingents of troops and police were already setting up camp around Kilrush House. There were 70 Sherwood Foresters, 50 3rd Hussars, 50 Royal Berkshires (who were located at Cappagh Barrack), and 120 R.I.C. The whole arrangements were in the hands of Colonel Turner. Also present were a number of magistrates – Captain Welsh, Mr. Hodder, Mr. Roche, Mr. Shannon. The sub-sheriff was Captain Croker. The evictions took place in July, so this photo must be from afterwards if it's from August 1888.

    Kilrush House "accidently burned to the ground in 1897". Another photo of this portico via twitter- twitter.com/Cooplafocal/status/966739541385236480/photo/4

    If you look in Clare Library to the report of The Wreck of The Edmond 1850 off Kilkee. It also is indicative of the poor construction of the mud cabins as also noted in 1848. Could not get it to link for me.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Not to be confused with Kilrush House in Kilkenny, still standing, unlike this one. Evictions also took place during the Famine years, so they had form here. Some info landedestates.nuigalway.ie/LandedEstates/jsp/estate-show.... on the estate (20,000 acres!) and the Vandeleur family

    Via Trove a report of the fire in 1897 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/104404854 I have posted these contemporary reports before; they are worth reading for the names of some of the characters seen here, and mention of Kilrush House ... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/115459777 trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/169707904 And interesting correspondence about re-instating the tenants in 1889 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/170505310

    It was the unveiling of the new statue of Queen Victoria as part of the Centenary celebrations on Tuesday 24 January 1888. Read all about it - SMH 26/1/1888 p.5 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1391390 Henry King was also there, somewhere on the right with a black cloth over his head ...

    beachcomber australia I'm thinking that one was a bit easy, huh :) It's a great photo, all that bustle and movement has been captured, it must have been an exciting day.. Thanks for the info - we'll update the caption. AB

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Never too easy - just that I have been there before with the Henry King photo. I remember three years ago having huge problems trying to find what the occasion was (when Trove was young).
