Rosberry Townland Co. Kildare

The townland of Rosberry (Irish: Ros Bearaigh – Barach’s wood) is situated in the barony of Connell, and the civil parish of Morristownbiller. ( co-ordinates 53.195, -6.81415). The spelling has varied but we have used the spelling on the ordnance survey maps of 1840. It is 1,055 acres in size, part of which is bogland, as can be seen from the dark section in this Google image. Part of its south eastern border is the meandering river Liffey, with Old Connell and its Norman moat present on the opposite bank. The 17th century legendary General Patrick Sarsfield, Earl of Lucan, Viscount Tully and Baron of Rosberry owned Rosberry in the 17th century. Sarsfield Castle was constructed in Rosberry, but its ruins were removed during the construction of the British cavalry barracks in Newbridge before 1820.

Rosberry in 1659 according to Sir William Petty’s Census

The townland was spelt “Rosberrie” in Sir William Petty’s Census taken in 1659, and Petty records the townland contained a population of 26 “poll tax” payers, i.e. the number of adults who were obliged to pay the poll taxes of the time. Petty’s Census recorded tenants as Irish or English residents, and all 26 poll tax payers in Rosberry were Irish. Walter Weldon, gentleman, was the landlord at the time, though he appears to be an under tenant of the Sarsfield’s. It is not therefore a full census but may be a rough guide to the number of houses in Rosberry at the time.

In the 1659 Census, the principal Irish names in the Barony of Connell were: Beaghan (8); Birne (13); Cullen (6); Duin (6); Doolin (12); Enose (10); Felan alias Helan (7); Farrell (6); Foran alias Horan (6); Fitzgerald (7); Hely (6); Kelly (17); Morin (7); Moran (2); Malone (8); Murphy (6); Nowlan (18); Rorque (10).

Rosberry and The Sarsfield Connection

Rosberry and the adjacent townlands of Hawkfield, Scarletstown, Rickardstown, and Piercetown were all part of the Sarsfield Estates of William Sarsfield and his brother Patrick Sarsfield. The Sarsfield’s were an old English family who acquired Lucan Manor on the Kildare/Dublin border around 1560. Sir William Sarsfield was Mayor of Dublin in 1566. The Sarsfield family remained Catholic, and to preserve their estates and religious freedoms they supported the Northern Rebels and the prerogative of Charles I against Parliament in the 1640’s. By 1642, most Catholic proprietors of the Pale had been outlawed for treason.

During the English Interregnum (the period from January 1649 when Charles I was executed to the restoration of the monarchy in May 1660 with the return from exile of Charles II), Sir Theophilus Jones acquired the Lucan Manor and Estates and was reluctant to give them up. He evenutally did so, to William Sarsfield, brother of Patrick Sarsfield. When William died in 1676, he willed the estate to his brother Patrick, the same Patrick who supported King James II. Patrick’s legendary reputation was earned after the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and during the retreat and successful Jacobean defence during the 1690 Siege of Limerick. Patrick negotiated the Treaty of Limerick of 1691 which granted he and over 18,000 followers safe passage to France in what became known as the Flight of the Wild Geese.

The Sarsfield ownership of Rosberry has continued through the Vesey line

To the victor the spoils. General Patrick Sarsfield was exiled to France under the Treaty of Limerick. James II granted him the titles, Earl of Lucan, Viscount Tully, and Baron Rosberry but Patrick’s exile was short for he was killed in 1693 at the Battle of Landen while serving in the Royal French Army, which defeated the forces of England’s new King William. Patrick’s estates were forfeit, but by 1696, Patrick’s niece Charlotte, natural grand-daughter of Charles II, and daughter of Patrick’s brother William, successfully claimed the Lucan Estates had been wrongfully detained from her by Patrick (under William’s will, which they claimed was forged), and Charlotte Sarsfield successfully regained possession. Charlotte would married Agmondisham Vesey, son of the Archbishop of Tuam, and it is their descendant, Charles Colthurst Vesey who we find as the landlord of Rosberry recorded in Griffith’s Valuations of the 1850’s.

Princess Diana Connection to Rosberry

Today, Prince William, heir to King Charles, can trace a line of his ancestry back to Agmondisham Vesey and Charlotte Sarsfield. Their great grand-daughter Lavinia Bingham (b.1762), married George Spencer, Viscount Althorp, whose line traces to the 8th Earl Spencer, father of Princess Diana, mother of William and Harry.

1901 Rosberry Census Summary

On Census night, March 31st, 1901, a total of 189 people were resident in 32 homes in the townland of Rosberry. Below you will find a database BY HOUSEHOLD summarising the 1901 Census data and some broader research on the residents and their circumstances before and after the census. Here are some examples:

The Browne, Wright and Tuthill connection to Rosberry

In House 5, Sarah Wright, nee Browne, was living at the home of her widowed mother Anne Browne, nee Coleman. Also present were Sarah’s siblings and Sarah’s infant daughter Anne who was born January 10th 1900. Anne’s father, James Wright, was a Driver in the Royal Horse Artillery and three months before her birth, James and the Royal Horse Artillery in Newbridge was transferred to South Africa when the Boer War broke out in October 1899. James would return home safely in 1902 to meet the daughter he had never seen.

Sarah’s sister Esther also married a soldier in the Royal Horse Artillery in 1893. Esther moved with her husband Henry Tuthill to England before the 1901 Census. Their son Harry Thurlow Tuthill was only 15 years old when he was lost at sea when the HMS Clan McNaughton sank off the Donegal coast in February 1915. Later, Esther’s grandson, Flight Squadron Leader Derek Tuthill, participated in 1957 in Operation Grapple, the successful testing of Britain’s Hydrogen Bomb. Derek was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Honours list of 1981.

Rosberry connection to Glenormiston Butter Factory in Victoria Australia

Next door in House 6, four unmarried Kelly sons resided, their parents Edward Kelly and Anne Moore already deceased. The four sons were all farmers. Their brother Thomas emigrated to Australia and did very well for himself. He married Mary Lourey and became a founding shareholder and director of the Glenormiston Butter Factory in Victoria, Australia before he died of appendicitis in 1903. Another brother Peter was a shopkeeper, butcher and victualler, on Main Street, Newbridge on Census night, and would later become a Justice of the Peace.

Rosberry and the Boland family of Balitmore Maryland

House 7 was the family home of Patrick Byrne and his late wife Catherine Tierney, who had died of liver cancer in 1893. They had at least 11 children, one of whom was Bridget who married William Boland. Four of the Boland children emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, the final resting place of all four.

Rosberry and the Crinnion Family of Rushwee House Slane

Rosberry House was House 13 in the Census, home to Mary Teresa O’Grady nee Crinion, widow of Patrick O’Grady who died from diabetic complications in 1891. Teresa was from Rushwee House in the townland of Rushwee, a short distance west of Slane, Co. Meath. Rosberry House was the largest house and oldest house in the Rosberry townland.

The Geraghty and Burke Families of Rosberry

Houses 18 to 21 were a group of houses where various lines of the Geraghty family lived. The family springs from Laurence Geraghty who was born in Rosberry c.1768 and died sometime after 1849. Laurence’s sons, William, Martin, Patrick, Laurence and Thomas all lived on different properties on Rosberry, according to Griffith’s Valuations. Ellen Geraghty in House 18 was a spinster daughter of William Geraghty. In House 20, Patrick’s bachelor son, James Geraghty, lived next door to his sister Mary, her husband John Burke and their family. Next door in House 21, Patrick Geraghty, son of Thomas, lived with his wife Eliza Murray and ten of their children. Eliza Murray was the sister of William Murray next door in House 22.

Kildare All-Ireland Champions of 1905 captained by Jack Murray

In House 22, William Murray and his wife Mary Morning were raising five children, including John (aka “Jack”) and his brother Michael, great gaelic footballers for the Rosberry club (now Sarsfields) founded in 1897, who would play on Kildare’s first All-Ireland Championship winning team of 1905, a team captained by Jack Murray.

Sanctuary after the Clongorey Evictions for the Fullam Family

In House 32, Patrick Fullam and his wife Margaret, nee Coffey, shared their small home with 8 children as well as four of Patrick’s unmarried siblings, the latter most likely being victims of the Clongorey evictions. Over the next ten years, 5 in the household died, 4 from TB, starting with 10-year-old Elizabeth in 1902. The overcrowded conditions must have been a factor in the spread of the TB.

Ireland’s population size peaked just before the famine in the late 1840’s and the 1841 Census recorded 412 people resident in Rosberry in 66 houses. In the first post famine census of 1851 this had declined 17% to 341 residents in 52 houses. The population in the 1850’s continued its steady decline at the rate of 6 people per year, equivalent to one household per year. However, what is unusual about Rosberry is the scale of the decline in the 1860’s when the population fell by 52% by 1871 to only 136 residents of only 22 houses. This decrease is peculiar because the population bounced back to 193 by 1881 before declining only marginally thereafter.

So what happened in the 1860’s that would see the population halve in ten years? It is possible the construction of the Curragh Military Camp in the 1850’s, the largest military camp in the then British Empire, may have drawn young men away to either join the army or work in supply support networks. Another possibility is the the landlord, Charles Colthurst Vesey, may provided financial incentives like paying the transport fares of his tenants to emigrate to the new world. Under the Poor Law Union regulations a Landlord paid a cess (annual fee or tax to the PLU), based on the number of tenants he had. He could reduce his cess duties by facilitating the emigration of his tenants.

Griffith’s Valuations of 1854 also tell us a number of Rosberry residents were tenants of houses only, and not land. It is possible they were moved or encouraged to move into Newbridge or to Rosberry Common as the British army presence increased. These house-only tenants included William Flood, Michael Foley, Mary Brennan, Anne Byrne, Margaret Duigan, William Dunne, Michael Hackett, Mary Reddy and David Donohoe. The Brennan, Duigan, Hackett, Redd, Foley and Donohue names are all absent from the 1901 Census.

James was born in Co. Down. Little did James and Sarah know, but within 8 months of their marriage, the 2nd Boer War would be declared in October 1899 and most military units were shipped to South Africa by November. Sarah would have been at least six months pregnant on the day her husband embarked for the Boer War because her daughter Anne was born in Rosberry January 10th 1900, with the birth registration stating James was in South Africa. James Wright survived the Boer War having served from 1899-1902 when it ended. He returned to Rosberry and their second daughter Mary was born there December 17th 1902. But they must have moved to England shortly thereafter, because their third child, Ruth was born in Stoke Hammond, Buckinghamshire around 1906. They were recorded in the 1911 Census as living at The Hollies, Church Road, Linslade, Leighton Buzzard, Bucks, by which time three more children, Ruth (aged 5 born Nov 10 1905 in Stoke Hammond Bucks.), Kathleen aged 2, and one-year old Thomas James had been born, both at Linslade. .Christening: Marriage: 8 Feb 1899 Newbridge RC Church, Newbridge, Co.

Ellen's relationship in the household on Census night at 5 Roseberry, Morristownbiller, Kildare was Grand Daughter. Ellen was a , not married, Roman Catholic and . .Ellen Burns, aged two, was the daughter of Margaret Browne (born August 15th 1871) and her husband Thomas Burns of the 4th Dragoon Guards, who was based in the Curragh Camp when they married August 25th 1890 in Newbridge. Thomas was a widower and Margaret a spinster. The 4th Dragoon Guards were posted to Rawalpindi in Punjab India in 1894 and from late 1902 to Muttra, so it is possible Margaret had left Ellen behind. Even though the Census says Ellen was born in Kildare, no record has been found to date to confirm that. By 1911 Ellen Burns was still lodging with her mother’s extended family, this time with her uncle Thomas Browne, who had married nineteen-year-old Catherine, aka Kate, Lycied of Rosberry in 1905. In 1911 Ellen lived with this young family in Piercetown, Newbridge alongside their three surviving children, Annie (4), Bridget (3) and Henry (1). The spelling of the name “Lyceid” went through many iterations in official records, but a version of it is recorded in Rosberry as far back as the 1827 Tithe Applotment Books. Catherine’s name in the 1901 Census is Katie Licied and she was living at House 23 Rosberry, the home of her uncle William. Her own widowed father Michael and her siblings Lizzie, Patrick, Edward and Julia were three doors down at House 26 on Census night 1901..Christening: Marriage: Death: Burial: .
27775	John	Kelly	HOUSE 6 ROSBERRY	Head of Family	March 31st 1901 Census Summary: John Kelly was 50 years old and therefore born 23 Nov 1854 in Rosberry, Morristownbiller, County Kildare, Ireland. John's relationship in the household on Census night at 6 Roseberry, Morristownbiller, Kildare was Head of Family. John was a Farmer, not married, Roman Catholic and could read and write English. .HOUSEHOLD 6 ROSBERRY IN 1901: Three unmarried Kelly brothers, John (50), Patrick (45) and William Henry (31) lived here on Census night. All three gave their occupation as farmers although John owned the house, which was of 4 rooms, but rated third class because it was constructed of mud walls and a thatch roof. Outside there were two stables, a harness room, three cowhouses, two calf houses, a dairy, piggery, and a fowl house, eleven buildings in total. It had the most comprehensive collection of outbuildings in Rosberry in 1901, so whether they farmed one large farm, or three separate farms, their holdings were likely to be extensive. Their parents were Edward Kelly and Anne Moore. According to Griffith’s Valuations, Edward was farming 13 acres in Rosberry in 1854. Research revealed Edward and Anne had at least 7 children, all of whom were born in Rosberry, except for the first child Rose, who was born in the nearby Common townland on June 11th 1848, in the middle of the famine. This would imply the family moved to the Rosberry townland at some point between 1848, the height of the famine, and 1854 when Griffith’s Valuations were compiled. The other children were Thomas (b. Jul 10th 1853 d. Dec 10th 1903 Noorat, Corangamite Shire, Victoria, Australia), Edward (b. 27th Jan 1856) and Peter (b. 18 Nov 1860). Thomas married Mary Lourey in Australia and did very well for himself and his family, becoming a founding shareholder and director of the Glenormiston Butter Factory before he died of an appendicitis operation December 10th 1903. Peter married Maria Cummins of nearby Caragh on November 22nd 1892. He was a shopkeeper in Newbridge, and he was a butcher & victualler there at House 10 Main Street, which he shared with his wife and five staff. They had no children. They were still there in 1911 this time with 4 staff, and Peter was now also a Justice of the Peace and the Census tells us they had no children in their 18-year marriage. .Christening: Marriage: Death: Burial: .

Their occupation of a farmer’s son/daughter would imply they worked on the family farm supporting their father. The house was owned by Patrick and had four rooms, but it was classified as third class on account of its mud walls and thatched roof. The outbuildings consisted of two cowhouses, a piggery and a fowl house, but no stable appears to be present.

Teresa Mary was a Grazier, a widow, Roman Catholic and could read and write . .ROSBERRY HOUSE - HOUSEHOLD 13 ROSBERRY IN 1911: Teresa Mary O’Grady (b1853-), nee Crinion, was a 40-year-old widow heading up the household of the finest house in Rosberry in 1901. House 13, known as Rosberry House, was a house of eleven rooms of brick and slate roof construction, with seven outbuildings: a stable, cowhouse, calf house, fowl house, piggery, barn, and shed. Teresa was the daughter of gentleman farmer Michael Crinion of Rushwee House, in the townland of Rushwee, a short distance west of Slane Co. Meath. Rushwee House was the Crinion family home for generations before finally selling up in 2020. According to Griffith’s Valuations, Michael Crinion farmed almost all of the 105 acres in the townland of Rushwee in the 1850’s. Teresa Mary Crinion was 21 years old when she married Patrick O’Grady on February 11th 1874 at Rushwee’s quaint St. Patrick’s Church. Patrick was 31 years old and the son of gentleman farmer John O’Grady of Rosberry House, so Teresa and Patrick were well matched in terms of background. Having just celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary, Teresa would find herself widowed aged thirty-eight on March 2nd 1891 when her 50-year-old husband Patrick died at home of diabetes mellitus. He had suffered from this illness for 5 years, but what may have ultimately killed him was facial gangrene he endured for one month, a likely symptom of the primary illness. John Farrell of Loughbrown was present at Patrick’s death. Teresa youngest child, Gertrude, was going on six when her father died. The four children living at home on census night with Teresa were John Edmond (26) who ran the farm as a Grazier with his mother, James (25) a Solicitor, Angela Mary (20) of no occupation, medical student Michael Joseph (19) and fourteen-year-old scholar Gertrude Mary. Also present that evening was Mary Kane, a 20-year-old domestic servant, and 56-year-old married agricultural labourer, Thomas Connor.

He had just secured new employment when he was killed in an accident when he was hit by a truck at the corner of 89th and Third Avenue on August 16th 1932 and died two days later on August 18th at 10:30am at Flower Hospital Manhattan.

Mary Margaret Waters was the daughter of Peter Waters and Margaret Coogan and was born in the townland if Killeen in the Narraghmore Electoral Division. Her parents are recorded in the 1901 Census living there with Mary’s siblings, Thomas, Michael, Bridget, Catherine and Andrew. Patrick and Mary Margaret married August 23rd 1893 in Dublin at St. Michael’s Church, despite the fact that Patrick was living in Rosberry and Mary in Narraghmore at the time. The possible explanation for this is that Fr. John Waters officiated at the ceremony, likely to be a relative. The witnesses to the wedding were James Grady and Teresa Waters. When Teresa married James Malone, a farmer from Raheens, Naas, on April 26th 1898, the ceremony was also officiated by Fr. John J Waters, this time at St. Andrew’s Church on Westland Row. This is most likely the same priest. The witnesses were James Grady and Mary Malone. By 1911, the Grady family had swelled to 12 children, 3 of whom were deceased by Census night. Patrick, Peter, Anne and James were all there, along with siblings Margaret Mary (9), Martin (7) Mary Teresa (5) Bridget Ellen (3), and Angela (1).
