Dear members
Due to the unavoidable cancellation of the ‘Carlow County Museum at 50 lecture by Dermot Mulligan, Museum Curator’, Dr Ida Milne has kindly stepped in and will provide a very interesting presentation on the ‘Elmes Letters: A Wexford Protestant network at the heart of the 1798 rebellion’ in
The Elmes Letters: A Wexford Protestant network at the heart of the 1798 rebellion:
In the 1970s, King Milne found a fascinating collection of family letters, many written during the 1798 rebellion, in the garret of his mother's family home in Old Ross. The letters talk about the rapid drop in agricultural prices just before the rebellion, and how various family branches experienced the rebellion, and which side they were on.
In this talk, Carlow College historian Dr Ida Milne looks at her new research on how family engaged with the rebellion, including some surprises, and the close sense of community in Old Ross the family experienced over the years. She reflects on how this may relate to the unity question.
Dr Ida Milne is a lecturer in European History at Carlow College (Ireland), and a Visiting Research Fellow, at the Department of History, Trinity College Dublin. One of her research fields is southern Irish Protestant identity, including Protestant engagement with the GAA. With Dr Ian Dalton, she published a collection of essays, Protestant and Irish, the Minority's Search for Place in Independent Ireland, with Cork University Press in 2019. She was a member of the Church of Ireland Decade of Centenaries Advisory Committee and was one of the organisers of the Royal Irish Academy's Disestablishment conference.
The talk will be in the Seven Oaks (Ballroom) at 8pm this Wednesday 16th October 2024.
