Easter

Happy Easter.
Last time I had some thoughts on documents, their availability and their purpose. For the Colclough family there were not inconsiderable lands, prestige and dare I say it money! Proving lineage was of great profit potentially. Thus family trees produced by both Patrick Sarsfield and the defence are valuable sources, as are letters produced in the Rossborough Colclough efforts. Hore's four volumes use primary sources it seems. The papers discovered by my mighty Uncle Bernie in Dublin written or rather collated by Beauchamp Colclough give a fascinatng insight into early mid Victorian morality and politics, the undercurrent of all the landed Wexford Colclough's spreading their largesse and genes among the locals could be turned into a film, a film which would certainly have been banned in 1940's, 50's, 60's or 70's Ireland on the sayso of the Dublin castle bishops.
