Official List of The Irish Martyrs (1907)

 I reprint below the official lists of the Irish Martyrs whose cases were under investigation by the Archbishop of Dublin's Diocesan Inquiry of 1904-1907. The first catalogue was originally published in 1903 by Archbishop Walsh in an article in The Irish Ecclesiastical Record at which time he noted:
It will be observed that in this List of the martyrs whose claims to canonisation are now the subject of inquiry, the forms of the names are, in many instances, peculiar. In all such cases, the form or forms in the List are those that occur in one or more documents of historical importance.
The modern reader is perhaps not helped by the fact that the names of the martyrs are given in their Latin forms, but in most cases it is straightforward enough to grasp the individual names. There is another list published in 1918 which gives the names in English which can be read here. In 1907 all of the official documents were published in The Irish Ecclesiastical Record including a second catalogue adding some additional names.  The 1907 Catalogus Primus is identical to the 1903 list but the Catalogus Secundus from 1907 arose from a requirement to produce any written evidence of the martyrs for Rome's consideration and this adds some names not found in the first catalogue. The second catalogue also lists the martyrs according to their membership of the various religious orders as well as chronologically.

Marcella I wish you 100 times all the energy and love and devotion you have put into the Saints of Ireland Blog you have presented these many years -
The Holy Martyrs of Ireland will reward you exceedingly.
I have often lamented the neglect of the Martyrs of Ireland - whose blood was so freely given to the glory of God and honor of St Patrick.
All the more power to your elbow, may the light shine brightly in your soul.
!00,000 thanks for all the blood sweat and tears of research.

Thanks very much, Jesse, I haven't worked this hard since I was a student but back then I could work from morning to night without needing an afternoon nap in between! I have lots of posts in the pipeline so hope it won't be too long before this site takes shape. Really appreciate your kind words and your support.
