 A memorable service was held in the Church on 26th March
1922, when several War Memorials were dedicated by the Bishop
of the Diocese (Rt. Rev. Dr. Grierson). These included
Stained Glass Window, unveiled by Major-General H.
Fallen inscribed, unveiled by Mrs. Norman D. Ferguson; and
a beautiful Roll of Honour of all who served in the war presented
by Mr. J.U. Finney, unveiled by Major Alick Knight, D.S.
R.A.M.C. The number of the men from the parish who served
was 371. Of those the large proportion of 80 laid down their
lives.
 At this service a Brass Tablet in memory of Dr. James
Watson Mulligan, of Millbank, Corbet, was unveiled by his
widow. Marble Steps to the chancel in memory of the Misses
Maria, Jane and Anna Tyrrell were also dedicated.

SEAPATRICK VESTRY RECORDS
The Vestry Minutes now extant of the Parish begin with the
year 1806. At that time the Vestry discharged several of the
functions now belonging to the County Council, Rural Council,
and Board of Guardians. We find the Vestrymen apploting
acres, building bridges, burying the poor, providing for orphans
and deserted children, collecting tithes, as well as making pro-
vision for the maintenance of the Church Services. Members
of all denominations attended the meetings and were apparently
appointed Churchwardens. The office of Churchwarden like
that of High Sheriff could not be declined except on legal grounds.

Page 29
In this year (1807) we find the Vestry hving to carry out the law for
raising a quota of men to serve in the militia. It was the time of the
Napoleonic wars. A poll tax was ordered to be levied of one
shilling off each labourer liable to serve; two shillings and
sixpence off each tradesmen or mechanic; and five shillings and
fivepence off each shopkeeper, publican, or gentleman not holding
land. For the time these were large amounts. The following
collectors for the various townlands were appointed:

TULLYCONNAUGHT = Francis Mulligan, Jas. Mulligan.
BALLIEVY - John Mercier, And. Mulligan.
LISNAREE - Robt. Adair, Wm. Wright.
BALLYDOWN - John Crothers, Robt. Dick.
BALLYVALLY - John Robinson, Robt. Scott.

BALLYKEIL - Sam. Herron, Geo. Brown.
DRUMNAGALLY - Brice Smyth, Brice Morrow.
KILPIKE - Robt. Templeton, And. Anderson.
BALLYMONEY - Wm. Graham, Wm. Kyle.

At the 1809 meeting the following quaint resolution was passed:
Resolved unanimously that Mr. Wm. Hayes, Mr. Robt Adair,
Mr. Henry Weir, and Mr. Andrew McClelland be appointed to
assist the Churchwardens in enforcing the observance of the
Sabbath." Seven years later advertisements were put forth

Page 30
"for the purpose of stopping carmen travelling on the Sabbath
Day." This year (1809) the collectors of the poll tax were:

TULLYCONNAUGHT - Hugh Mulholland, Jas. Mulligan

 It ws at this Vestry that the name first appears of Mr.
Charles Mulligan who in succeeding years took a prominent
in vestry affairs. In 1811 L10 was voted for a bell, the Vicar,
Francis Burrowes, contributing L10. Among the collectors of it
in 18...
In the latter years Vicar offered one or two acres of his glebe
in perpetuity to build a school-house for inst...
children in weaving and spinning proves technical education
dates from a century ago in Banbridge. The Vestry expressed
gratitude of the inhabitants at large of the parish to Mr.
Hayes "for the liberality and exertions evinced by him in bed
said school=house." A committee was appointed to many
school consisting of the Vicar, Curate, and Churchwarden
the time being, Rev. Js. Davis, Messrs. W. Hayes, W. H.

Page 31
Robt. Williamson, W. McWilliam, Wm. Grimes, Brice-Smyth,
and J.C. Mulligan. The schoolmaster's salary was fixed at L40
a year with dwelling house and an acre of land. Through the
Vestry pronounced this an adequate salary still it agreed
"that it is expedient the extra receipts should be appropriated
to his use as the best security fro exertion and good conduct.
...In 1818 the grant for funeral expenses was limited to ten
shillings. This was reduced to eight shillings in 1835. Mr.
Thos. Gardner was voted the thanks of the parish in 1819 for his
...Part of a legacy of L100 bequeathed by Robt. Bradford for the
poor of the parish was expended in purchasing spinning wheels
for poor women this year. Next year it was resolved: "that it is
highly expedient that a foot passage should be provided across
the River Bann for the general convenience of the parish."...
It was subsequently decided to build a foot bridge as nearly
opposite the school-house as possible...
  In 1821 we first find the project mooted of building a new
church. It was felt that the old one in Seapatrick was unsuitable
in size and site. The proposal aroused determined opposition
and was often defeated during the ensuing years before being
finally carried out in 1834.

Page 32
In 1821 a curt resolution was passed that the time was not favor
able to lay an assessment on the parish. No doubt the com
munity at large resented, naturally enough, having to contribute
towards the building of a Church of the Establishment. Eight
years later the project was brought up again, but at the special
meeting called an even more curt resolution was carried: "Then
this Vestry be dissolved sine die." Nothing daunted the friends
of the project had a Vestry meeting called for Sep. 1, 1829, when
by a majority it was resolved to build the new church in Banbridge
and to apply to the Board of First Fruits for a loan of L1,800 to
be repaid by annual instalments of L72, levied at the rate of 4
an acre off the landholders of the parish. Mr. Edm. Reilly,
Rich. Hayes, Fredk. Hayes, Andrew McClelland, Thos. Crozier,
Jas. C. MULLIGAN, ... After the appointment of Rev. Daniel
Dickinson as Vicar we find it again brought forward in 1833.
On the motion of Mr. Geo. MULLIGAN, seconded by ...

Page 35
...To return to the old church, we find that in 1822 it was broken
into by robbers. The sum of L50 was offered for their appre-
ciation, and a gown and tippet ordered for the Vicar to replace
his stolen ones. The new gown cost L10.
...In 1823 the Vestry was disturbed at the number of foundlings
that had to be supported. ... To prevent "in future such a
growing evil" some homely expressed measures were adopted
and the co-operation of adjoining parishes solicited. It was agreed
not to support any child after it was ten years old. The precautions
adopted were not efficacious for in 1840 we find the parish being
assessed for the support of 17 deserted children.
   In 1824 the oppposition to tithes is reflected in the Vestry pro-
ceedings. A committee consisting of Rich. Hayes, Fras.
McWilliam, Jas. Chas. MULLIGAN, Geo. Crawford, Rev. James
Davis was appointed to prepare a petition to Parliament.

Page 36
...At some of these meetings and amongst them
taking part are to be found the names of Brice Smyth, Andrew
McClelland, Jas. Wallace, Jas. Dickson, as well as the usual
Crawford and MULLIGAN signatures.
   In 1825 thirty guineas were voted to buy a horse for Rev.
Burrowes, Vicar, "as a mark of kindness for the lively interest
he has taken in the affairs of the parish."... Evening services
seem to have been started in that year. .. In 1830 a prolonged
dispute broke out about the Vicar's right to nominate one of the
Churchwardens. In that year Mr. Burows nominated Mr. George
Hayes. The conflict then was avoided by the discovery that Mr.
Hayes was not legally qualified and Mr. Geo. MULLIGAN was
appointed by the parishioners in his stead. ... At the first
Easter Vestry he nominated Mr. John Welsh of Cin... but the
members appointed by a majority Mr. Geo. Crawford of
Ballievy, and Mr. John MULLIGAN, Tullyconnaught. ...
Perhaps the dispute about this matter is partly accountable
for a further "scene." Mr. George Crawford proposed the
reduction of the clerk's salary which had been fixed by the
Easter Vestry at the old rate of L__. Mr. Dickinson holding the
motion to be contrary to law did put the question to the
meeting. Thereupon the following resolution was passed:
"We the undersigned on behalf of

Page 37
great majority of the parishioners present protest against the
proceedings of this day, the chairman having refused to put the
questions to the meetings which were regularly proposed and
recorded." This protest is signed by

subscription he sided with the liberal party, and when Dr. Cook
in 1825 attacked the Armagh Presbytery he replied defending
them. He was a leader of his party. When Dr. Cooke triumphied
at the Synod of 1828 the minority met in Belfast the follwing
September and October. Mr. Davis at the October meeting
read the Remonstrance he had been appointed to draw up. It
was an historic document and gave a name to the church which
was subsequently formed, "The Remonstrant Synod of Ulster"
generally known as Unitarians. The Banbridge minister then
played a notable part in ecclesiastical history. In the Life of
Dr. Montgomery his Remonstrance is praised for the "clearness
and vigour of its thoughts, the power of its arguments, the simple
dignity and scholarly finish of its style and language. Mr.
Davis was one of the seventeen ministers who separated from
the Synod of Ulster in 1830. He with James C. MULLIGAN
represented Banbridge a the first Remonstrant Synod that year.

...Soon after Rev. John Montgomery's appointment there was
dissension in the congregation. Certain members led by Mr.
Gilbert MULLIGAN were in favour of Rev. C.J. M'Alester of Holy-
wood. A church was built in the Square by this section. Its
clergy were in succession... The building was sold to the
Masonic Body in 1893 for L390.

in Belfast -- John M'Cance in the chair -- in December, 1810
when resolutions were passed praying for the "doing away with
such death sentences." Next year the old law was repealed.
   Machinery driven by water for beetling linen was introduced at
Ulster in 1725. Henceforth the Bann was utilised to great
advantage. M'Call tells that the process of whitening was slow
even in the largest concerns. Towards the close of teh XVIII
century "considerable advance was thought to have been made
in the course of finish when brown webs sent to the field in May
were ready for the white warehouse at the end of the following
August."
   In the development of the linen trade of the Bann towards the
end of the eighteenth century the families of MULLIGAN, Crawford,
Lindsay, Hayes were pre-eminent. The MULLIGANS were long
established up the river in the Corbet district. ...

family was founded in Tullyhenan about 1680 by David Lindsay. He was
from Scotland with General Monro's Army. His son interviewed King
William in 1690 and is recorded to have sold him L300 worth of cattle. A
grandson, David, of the original David Lindsay took up residence in
Hilltown. The family is connected with the Crawfords, Simms, MULLIGANS,
and some other well known families throughout the North of Ireland. The
once famous firm of Crawford and Lindsay took over Hudson's Ballydown
Bleaching Works in 1822 when they also carried on linen manufacturing.

N.B.  I have had difficulty in sending this e-mail, possibly becasue of the photos.  I am resending without attachment, which I will try later.

Rory

Dear Jane,

I was somewhat surprised to receive your e-mail so shortly after having advertised my interest in the surname Mulligan on the Internet.  It was, however, a very pleasant surprise!

Thank you for your kind offer about sharing extracts from the book by Richard Linn, but I am fortunate enough to have my own copy.  As no doubt you are aware from my e-mail address I live in New Zealand where, as you will have read, Linn settled and eventually died.  Like him, I too am a migrant to NZ and only came here in 1990.  Another useful reference work on the history of Banbridge (although not so antiquarian in bent) is 'Bridges To Banbridge', by W. Haughton Crowe (published by the Dundalgan Press, Dundalk in 1980).

I regret that I cannot positively identify your Francis, but I may be able to provide a clue as to his possible origins.  I am also able to provide you with some general background information about the Mulligans of Banbridge.

My mother was a Mulligan by birth and her grandfather was the Dr John Watson Mulligan mentioned on p. 26 of Linn's book (note that 'James' is a typographical error for 'John').  His grandfather was the James Charles Mulligan of Charleville, who is mentioned variously throughout the book (called after his father, 'Charleville' was the name of his house, which was later renamed 'Fort Charles'; the name by which it is still known).  James Charles Mulligan was born in 1766 and died in 1849.  A few years before his death, he wrote a brief account of his forebears.

According to this account, two brothers by the name of Millikin arrived in Bangor (Co. Down) from Scotland in about the 1630s.  One brother (possibly James) settled in the Ards Peninsula, whilst the other went towards Belfast.
The latter brother (either a Daniel or Robert) married into the Stewart family of Ballydrain House at Dunmurray (now a golf club!) and is said to have been involved in defending the house (against Catholics) in the 1641 Rebellion!  Stirring tales aside, it was his son, James, who was the progenitor of the Mulligans of Banbridge.

Millikin is a more Scottish variant of the native Irish surname Mulligan and over time the spelling reverted back to its more original form.  No doubt the family originated in Ireland at some earlier stage, but the fact they came from Scotland in the 1630s explains why Mulligans from Co. Down are usually Protestant, whereas bearers of the surname elsewhere in Ireland are predominantly Catholic.

Returning now to James Millikin/Mulligan.  He settled at Ballievey (or Balleevy - a townland adjacent to Tullyconnaught) sometime in the latter part of the 17th century and married twice.  His first wife was Sarah Jelly, by whom he is known to have had male descendants, and his second wife was Isabella Glen.  James and Isabella had four sons (James, Joseph, Samuel and William).  Land records date the Mulligans as first leasing land at Tullyconnaught in 1705.  James Mulligan junior, as he was referred to in the land lease of 1705, was the father of Charles Mulligan and grandfather of James Charles Mulligan (as per above).

I know that your Francis was not a descendant of James junior.  However, there is a possibility that he might have been a grandson of James junior's brother Joseph.  Joseph Mulligan settled at Upton in Tullyconnaught.  He married Agnes Nicholson and the couple had three sons and three daughters.
One of their sons, John Nichol Mulligan (also of Upton, who married a woman called Sarah) had four sons: Francis, James, Joseph Nichol and John Nichol.
Joseph Nichol Mulligan is listed on p. 224 of Linn's book.  Little, however, is known about his (older) brother, Francis.  Joseph Nichol Mulligan died in the 1870s and it is possible that his brother Francis was born in the 1790s.
Indeed, the fact that little is known about Francis (at least on the eastern side of the Atlantic), is perhaps an indication that he emigrated (?).
(Joseph Nichol Mulligan, and his brother Francis, were thus second cousins to the James Charles Mulligan referred to above.)

Nonetheless, as you will have gathered, the Mulligans were prolific in number and it is difficult to connect them all together with certainty.  I would like to consult with a relative of mine (my mother's cousin - Molly - whose father is the C.H. Mulligan listed on p. 225 to Linn's book), who may be able to help identify your Francis.  Molly still lives in the UK and the correspondence may take sometime, but I shall be in contact again when I hear back.

In the meantime, I attach below some photographs of Tullyconnaught which may be of interest: Mulligans Bridge (built in 1826) - taken from The Corbet; The Old Beetling (Bleach) Mill - again taken from The Corbet - and two views of the River Bann taken from Mulligans Bridge.

Kind regards and best wishes,

Rory

P.S.

The Charles James Mulligan (1866 - 1916) who is listed in the American Dictionary of National Biography as having been a  sculptor of some note, belonged to the Tullyconnaught Mulligans.  He was born near Aughnacloy in Co. Tyrone, but his father (another James Charles Mulligan and the brother of John Watson Mulligan as per above) was from Tullyconnaught and the family returned there for some years prior to emigrating to the USA in the 1880s.

Mr. Kelly,

As you can see, I have written down any reference I could find to Mulligan in the area of Banbridge. I wonder if you know of anyone in County Down who is researching the Mulligan family. I would be so thankful for any thoughts you may have regarding my search.

Thank you for your generosity in sharing about Banbridge and congrats on your wedding anniversary.
