This is like my background on my Dad's side my Grandad was from County Cavan (Cootehill) they all came over in the mid 40's - early 50's they were all brought up Catholic but in order to marry my Nan Grandad had to reuonce his Catholic beliefs as Nan and her family were brought up Church of England (Grandad loved the bones of my Nan) I'd love to trace back his grandparents and see how long the McGahan's have been in Ireland x

I wouldn't get too carried away by claims of outsider status. Protestants didn't do so bad in post 1922 Ireland - the highest positions in the Civil Service, Trinity College, the Judiciary. Douglas Hyde, Erskine Childers both protestants, elected presidents of Ireland. The most suffering outsiders were socialists/communists, all the greatest literary persons of 20thC Ireland, LGBT people, unmarried mothers, Travellers...life was horrific.
@tarafarrell464 жыл бұрын
I don't think Protestants were treated as badly as unmarrried mothers, LGBT people or Travellers but there is no denying we were not treated as being Irish by a lot of people. My father was asked one day by a fella who knew he was Protestant if he'd be supporting the England Football Team for the world cup. My Dad was floored by that. His family have lived in the same part of Ireland for the last 400 years. I was asked much the same when I was in school in the early 2000's.

@Nicky L Give us a break for heaven's sake - likely no sector of Irish society had it easier than Protestants, think what was done to unmarried pregnant mothers, people with developmental problems, psychiatric problems, nearly ever major writer of 20thC Ireland sanctioned, censored, Dev doing horrible mistreatment of IRA suspects WWII - summary executions, horror shows...'some of that attitude hanging about' - yeah! that's Srebenicha. Poor Prods! Spare a thought for how Catholics in Northern Ireland were treated or the Irish in Britain - the scale of this BS is stratospheric.

This just proves that religious bigotry existed in Ireland (modern day Republic) before partition. Many Protestants in the south were treated shockingly by their Catholic neighbours and the emergence of the IRA only heightened that.

I use my maiden & married names. A lot of women in US put a - hyphen between them. Could be are imitating the Hispanic tradition of keeping maiden name but hyphenated after the married name. When a girl gets married the paternal name is put after the the hyphen and her maternal name is dropped. .
