O'Houlihan (dynasty)
The Houlihan dynasty is a noble house and clan descending from Uí Mháine in modern-day County Galway and County Offaly in Ireland. This is reflected in the patronymic naming system: "Uallachán, son of Flann, son of Flannchadh, son of Innrachtach, son of Maelduin, son of Donngal, son of Anmchadh, son of Eoghan Buac." The source of the name "hUallacháin" (Houlihan) is from the progenitor of the family Prince Uallachan Mac Flann: "A rough-fettering lord of distinguished valour, venomous- weaponed, h-Uallachan." An Irish warrior and Prince of Siol Anmchadha. His name means "Proud", or "Arrogant". There are likely more than 3 different main lines of the Houlihan name, which stem from different places. The name found in this article is the main line whom were "Chiefs of Siol Anmchadha in Hy-Maine" as listed in John O'Hart's Pedigree of the Irish Nation.

He was an Associate in Arts at the Queen's University, Belfast. He worked at the Commissioners of National Education during the years of the Great Famine. He worked as a genealogist and took an interest in Irish history. He died in 1902 in Clontarf near Dublin, at the age of 78.

Ballymena Borough Council
Ballymena Borough Council was the local authority of Ballymena in Northern Ireland. It merged with Carrickfergus Borough Council and Larne Borough Council in May 2015 under local government reorganisation in Northern Ireland to become Mid and East Antrim Borough Council.

The new council inherited the 1937 charter of incorporation of the municipal borough, continuing the borough status and mayoralty. Makeup The borough was divided into four electoral areas: Ballymena North, Ballymena South, Bannside, and Braid, from which 24 members were elected. The entire council was elected every four years by proportional representation. The last election was due to take place in May 2009, but on April 25, 2008, Shaun Woodward, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland announced that the scheduled 2009 district council elections we ...

Esquire
Esquire (, ; abbreviated Esq.) is usually a courtesy title. In the United Kingdom, ''esquire'' historically was a title of respect accorded to men of higher social rank, particularly members of the landed gentry above the rank of gentleman and below the rank of knight. Some sources cite that the title was bestowed on "candidates for knighthood in England," and even used with respect to other dignitaries, such as justices of the peace, sheriffs, and sergeants. According to research by a New York City Bar Association committee, in the United States, esquire over time came to refer "commonly and exclusively" to lawyers, but how that happened is unclear. The only certainty, the committee stated, is that "based on common usage it is fair to state that if the title appears after a person’s name, that person may be presumed to be a lawyer". The 1826 edition of William Blackstone's '' Commentaries on the Laws of England'' reiterated that "the title should be limited to those on ...

Archbishop Of Munster
In Christian denominations, an archbishop is a bishop of higher rank or office. In most cases, such as the Catholic Church, there are many archbishops who either have jurisdiction over an ecclesiastical province in addition to their own archdiocese ( with some exceptions), or are otherwise granted a titular archbishopric. In others, such as the Lutheran Church of Sweden and the Church of England, the title is borne by the leader of the denomination. Etymology The word archbishop () comes via the Latin ''archiepiscopus.'' This in turn comes from the Greek , which has as components the etymons -, meaning 'chief', , 'over', and , 'seer'. Early history The earliest appearance of neither the title nor the role can be traced. The title of "metropolitan" was apparently well known by the 4th century, when there are references in the canons of the First Council of Nicæa of 325 and Council of Antioch of 341, though the term seems to be used generally for all higher ranks of ...

Archbishop Of Cashel
The Archbishop of Cashel ( ga, Ard-Easpag Chaiseal Mumhan) was an archiepiscopal title which took its name after the town of Cashel, County Tipperary in Ireland. Following the Reformation, there had been parallel apostolic successions to the title: one in the Church of Ireland and the other in the Roman Catholic Church. The archbishop of each denomination also held the title of Bishop of Emly. The Church of Ireland title was downgraded to a bishopric in 1838, and in the Roman Catholic Church it was superseded by the role of Archbishop of Cashel and Emly when the two dioceses were united in 2015. History Pre-Reformation In 1118, the metropolitan archbishoprics of Armagh and Cashel were established at the Synod of Ráth Breasail. The archbishop of Cashel had metropolitan jurisdiction over the southern half of Ireland, known as Leth Moga. At the Synod of Kells in 1152, the metropolitan see of Cashel lost territory on the creation of the metropolitan archbishoprics of Dublin ...

List Of Kings Of Síol Anmchadha
Siol Anmchada was a petty kingdom and lordship of Uí Maine, in an area of the west of Ireland which is now part of Connacht. It was ruled by an offshoot of the Ui Maine called the Síol Anmchadha ("the seed of Anmchadh"), from whom the territory took its name. Some of them were also Kings of Hy-Many. It is interesting to note that many of the Kings named below are of the O'Madden name, hence O'Madden's Country being used as a name for Síl nAnmchadha, but in O'Donovan's ''Tribes and Customs of Hy Many'' they are referred to as the "Old (or Ancient) Chiefs of Sil Anmchadha," and from O'Dugan's Topographical Poems as the "Chiefs of Sil Anmchadha," and in Irish Pedigrees; or, The Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation as "Chiefs of Anmchadha in Hy-Maine". It could be surmised that this could mean O'Houlihan (dynasty), The O'Houlihans (Ó hUallacháins) may have been Chiefs of Sil Anmchadha before the O'Maddens, but are not recorded as such. The only recorded Chief of Sil Anmchadha of T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
