The 1798 Rebellion: Claimants and Surrenders - Analysis

The following is an analysis of the three lists.

• A. Analysis of Compensation Claims
• B. Analysis of Coolock Surrenders
• C. Analysis of Dublin Surrenders

A. Analysis of Compensation Claims

There is an immense amount of possible research that can be done on this source. However a prerequisite is the identification of places such as has been attempted for Co. Wicklow. This will provide a breakdown of losses within each county. It is possible to analyze by townland, civil parish (as they were at the time), electoral division. The research below is an introduction and concentrates on some key points on a county level.

Before introducing the analysis a caveat should be entered. With complicated statistical manipulations there will always some error because no matter how many times one does the calculations one will invariably come up with slightly different totals. These errors will not be more than +5% and are probably not significant.

The first most important issue relating to the county totals published by the Commissioners is that they are incorrect. This is due to the fact that when a claimant lived in one county and made a claim for losses in another there was no consistent policy as to which county they should be listed under. The following two tables are the corrected figures (rounded to the nearest £) analysed by county of loss and county of residence.

There are various ways of analyzing the differences but because of large variations in counties with small numbers of claims the simplest is by simple numerical comparison. These are presented in chart form by number of claims and amounts.


A comparison of amount of claims adjudicated and amounts allowed shows interesting county variations, which are worth exploring further.

The following chart shows the average claim per county

The next chart sows the percentage of female claimants per county

The above charts of average claim and percentage female are based on the following tables. This includes data on widows, which has not been put into chart form since there is a great deal of variation around the country among females as to whether they use this specific title. There appears to be an east-west division, certainly these figures are not necessarily indicative of actual marital status when the claim was made.

B. Analysis of Coolock Surrenders

This list contains surnames, first names, addresses, dates of surrender and additions; each has a separate field.

At the end of the list are the details of the arms surrendered, which are: One swivel artillery piece, 56 muskets, 14 blunderbusses, 105 fowling pieces, 56 pistols, 19 bayonets, 23 swords, 477 pikes and pike-heads, 10 scythes, mounted. These were surrendered to Thomas Furnace esq., Magistrate, Baldoyle from 27^th May to 10^th June (then sent by him to Barracks and Castle); Magistrates on the Field; and Captain Preston on the 4^th June. This is the barony total but which person surrendered what arm is not specified. Furnace received the majority of arms of all types while the ‘Magistrates on the field’ received mostly pikes, c. 200, and Preston another ten weapons. The magistrates were Right Honourable Richard Annesley, Henry Baker esq., Counsellor Batty, John C. Beresford, esq., Lodge Morres esq. and Sir Henry Wilkinson.

The main two sets of statistics that can be derived from the list are the names and townland population. It is evident that these surrenders happened in clusters (see chart below) and was organized through community and family networks. Occupations are rarely given and they are mostly to be found as employees of Lord Charlemount of Marino with the exception of two servants. There are a few other additions of which one for Nich. Madden, who ‘had been whipped’, is perhaps the most noteworthy.

Surnames

This section has main points, tables and a chart of the top fifteen surnames. This is not necessarily representative of the population of the total in Coolock Barony as family networks were an important part of United Irish structure. Many would have had guns for hunting game, a traditional rural pastime, and pest control. Presumably the Yeomanry and Loyalists were exempt from surrendering weapons so there is a probable bias towards the Roman Catholic population. If two or more people of the same surname, but different address, surrendered arms on the same day they are likely to be related.

• There are approximately 500 surnames of which 63 (13%) have more than 5, or more, instances and 16 (3%) have 10, or more, instances
• The 16 most common surnames have c. 200 (17%) instances while those with 5 or more instances have c. 520 (43%)

This section has main points, a chart of the most common addresses, and a table with the places with over ten people in alphabetical and numerical order

• Of the 1,218 people 1,076 (88%) have addresses
• There are approximately 144 places given of which 21 (14.5%) have over ten people each, in total they contain 777 or 72% of the population

C. Analysis of Dublin Surrenders

This list contains, surnames, first names, addresses and occupations; each has a separate field. An extra field has been added for county, which is Dublin unless stated otherwise.

At the end of the list a description of the arms surrendered is given: 8 Guns, 18 swords, 24 bayonets, 13 pistols, 104 pikes. This is the Dublin total but which person surrendered what arms is not specified. The amount of arms, 167 pieces, is considerably less than the number of surrenders. Assuming that the above figures are correct then almost 84% surrendered without arms.

The list can be analysed by surname, occupation and place, which provides a wealth of data on Dublin’s urban economy during the period


Surnames

• There are 1,057 people with c. 520 surnames of which 45 (8.7%) have five or more instances and 7 have ten or more.
• The most common 45 are comprised of 33.5% of the total and most common 7 have 12% of the total surnames.

Occupation

Conclusions of the general economic level in Dublin City can be made based on the following table. However it should be noted that as there is no census-like breakdown of economic activity in the city in this period it is difficult to know how representative of the total population the following statistics are. Certainly some sectors such as Textiles are well represented but Professional and Agriculture/Food sectors are not.

Notes on Occupations Table:

1. The textile sector had the most surrenders with about one third. Other sectors of labouring, manufacturing, construction, retail, agriculture & food had about 10% each, while shoemakers were also significant at c. 5%
2. Nearly 60% of the textile trade was involved in weaving. About 40% were silk weavers, 15% cotton weavers, and 10% each in broad and riband weavers. The 14 (6.5%) engine weavers are an indication of mechanization in the industry though this was not to survive 19^th century competition from the huge industrial complexes in the English Midlands

3. In the clothing trade the most common occupations were Tailors (21) and Hatters (14)
4. Carpenters, Bricklayers and Slators comprised 59 (61%) of the 96 people involved in construction
5. The forty Cabinet Makers, Smiths and Papermakers comprised 40% of manufacturers. Cutlers, Gunsmiths, Coopers, Wire Makers, Curriers, Carpet Makers, Chair Makers, Rope Makers, Sadlers, Locksmiths, Wheelwrights and Sieve Makers had seven down to two instances
6. In the Retail trade there were 43 Hosiers, Drapers, etc. while Innkeepers and Shopkeepers had 25 surrenders
7. The professional and media sectors had few surrenders with the exception of 24 clerks
8. Amongst the general labourers 55% resided in Dublin City, 35% in the county, and balance of 10% were from the rest of Ireland.
9. The breakdown of farmers’ residences is 40% in Dublin City, 20% in County Dublin, and the rest of Ireland with the remaining 40%. There is a high level of urban-based farmers but what the proportion between Dubliners investing in agriculture and country people living off their agricultural income in Dublin is unknown and needs further research. It may be worth pursuing these farmers in detail as it may provide clues as to the way the urban/rural rebellion networks operated in practice. For instance in Derrylossary, Co. Wicklow, James Kevanagh (recte. Kavanagh) of Roundwood, Co. Wicklow, was probably the most prominent member of the United Irishmen in Roundwood. His uncle. Bryan Byrne, a Rathdrum shopkeeper, made a claim of £186/8/1 on his behalf while he was in jail, hardly a suffering loyalist. In another case John Healy of Annamoe is likely to be related to Andrew Thomas whose body was identified by the latter’s half sister, Mary Healy. Finally Thomas Johnston of Castlekevin was a near neighbour of the Harmons of Killafeen and a relation, a Johnson of Trooperstown, was an informant of Brother Luke Cullen who collected much valuable material on the Rebellion in the 1820-30s. For Co. Wicklow Ruan O’Donnell’s work is essential reading.
10. The most common other occupations in the Agriculture and Food sector were Bakers (13) and from six to two were Butchers, Dairymen, Gardeners, and Stewards. Skinners and Tanners had two and five respectively
11. Within Dublin City the most common streets, with about 20% of the total, were the Coombe (47), Francis St. and New Row (37 each), Thomas St. (35), New St. (34), and Kevin St. (23). With between 10 and 19 surrenders were Cook St. (13), Cork St. (18), Dolphins Bar (12), High St. (10), Marrowbone Lane (14), Meath St. (19), Newmarket (14), Patrick St. (19), Plunket St. (19), Townsend St. (11), and Winetavern St. (10). In other words about one third of the surrenders came from the above seventeen streets in that part of Dublin known as the Liberties, traditionally known for its textile industry.
12. In Dublin County the most numerous surrenders came from Rathfarnham (15), Milltown (12) and Donnybrook (9)

Those resident outside of Dublin City and County came from Carlow (three, all farmers), Kildare (four), Westmeath (five, four farmers), Wexford (eleven, six labourers), and Wicklow (fourteen, mostly north-east, six farmers). A further one each came from counties Limerick, Louth and Meath.
