INTRODUCTION

The O’Hara family of Annaghmore The O’Haras of Annaghmore, Collooney, County Sligo were one of the few Gaelic land-owning families that succeeded in retaining their estates through the successive upheavals of the seventeenth century. The family’s Gaelic roots are well attested in the Book of O’Hara, a volume of bardic poetry written for Cormac O’Hara in 1597, and now in the National Library of Ireland. The family was noted for its patronage of poets and musicians, including such figures as Tadgh Dall Ó hUiginn and Turlough O’Carolan. There were two main branches of the O’Haras in County Sligo, the O’Hara Buidhe (yellow) and the O’Hara Riogh (speckled). It was from the O’Hara Buidhe (anglicised as O’Hara Boy) that the O’Haras of Annaghmore were descended. As was the case with the other Gaelic landowners in County Sligo, the O’Haras were originally Roman Catholic in religion. On the death of Tadgh O’Hara in 1616, however, his two sons, Tadgh and Kean were brought up as Protestants by the Court of Wards. This strengthened the family’s hold on their property and, unlike other prominent Gaelic families, they escaped the Cromwellian and Williamite confiscations with their lands intact. The family remained influential in local affairs throughout this period with Kean O’Hara (the elder) and his sons Adam (died 1684) and Kean (the younger, 1657-1719) serving successively as High Sheriffs of County Sligo between 1665 and 1703. The family also had political ambitions and Charles O’Hara (the elder, c. 1705-1776), son of Kean (the younger), served as an MP in the Irish Parliament. He was a close friend of Edmund Burke with whom he conducted an extensive correspondence. His brother, Kean O’Hara was a musician and author whose burlesque Midas had considerable success at Covent Garden. It was regularly re-staged there from its first production in 1764 through to the early part of the nineteenth century. He was also largely responsible for the establishment of the Musical Academy in Dublin in 1758. His later works included The Golden Pippin (first performed in Covent Garden in 1773) and Tom Thumb (first performed in Covent Garden in 1780). Charles O’Hara (the younger, 1746-1822) son of Charles O’Hara (the elder) continued the family tradition of political involvement. Like his father, he was friendly with Edmund Burke and with Burke’s son, Richard. A prominent member of the Volunteers, he was elected MP for County Sligo in 1783 and took an active part in suppressing the 1798 rebellion. Despite being strongly opposed to the Act of Union, he represented County Sligo at Westminster until his death in 1822. His son, Charles King O’Hara (1785-1860), showed little political ambition, but took an active role in local affairs, and was prominent in relief efforts in County Sligo during the Famine. As Charles King O’Hara

8

died childless, his nephew, Charles William Cooper (1817-97) inherited the estate. He was the son of Arthur Brooke Cooper who had married Charles King O’Hara’s sister, Jane Frances O’Hara. A condition of the inheritance was that Charles William took the name of O’Hara, which he did in 1860. The Coopers themselves had long been prominent landowners in County Sligo, albeit on a smaller scale than the O’Haras. Unlike the O’Haras, the Coopers were an Anglo-Irish family by descent, and the marriage symbolised the integration of the O’Haras into the Anglo-Irish landed elite of County Sligo. Charles William O’Hara also had political ambitions, serving as Conservative MP for County Sligo from 1859 to 1865. He was prominent in local affairs, serving successively as High Sheriff and Deputy Lieutenant of County Sligo. His son, Charles Kean O’Hara, contested the parliamentary election for County Sligo in 1883, but failed to be elected. In 1902 he was appointed Lord Lieutenant for the County and during the First World War he played a prominent role in the recruiting campaign. Following the war he worked strenuously to secure employment and pensions for ex- servicemen, his efforts being acknowledged by an O.B.E in 1920. Like his predecessors, he was a keen sportsman, running his own pack of hounds, the O’Hara harriers, even during the Civil War. He also held annual point-to-point meetings at Claragh, County Sligo and was an excellent polo player. He was succeeded by his brother, Frederick William O’Hara (1875-1949), who in turn was succeeded by his son Donal Frederick. Donal Frederick passed on the estate to his eldest son, Dermot Charles, the present head of the family. The Estates At the beginning of the sixteenth century the O’Haras owned some 16,000 acres in County Sligo. As the century progressed, some of this land was lost to new settlers such as Richard Boyle and John Crofton, and additional property was forfeited during the Cromwellian and Williamite confiscations. The O’Haras did, however, succeed in retaining considerable property through the strategem of converting to Protestantism. Their holdings were centred in the barony of Leyney, which had long been the family stronghold. Through the marriage of Kean O’Hara to Rose Newman in the seventeenth century, the O’Haras also acquired property in Dublin city, principally around Essex Street and Crane Lane. In addition, from the eighteenth century onwards the family owned property in England, principally in Yorkshire and Lancashire, which was secured on the marriage of Charles O’Hara (the younger) to Margaret Cookson. There are a small number of documents relating to this property in the collection. Despite its extent, the Sligo estate brought in an annual rental of only £91 at the beginning of the eighteenth century. The figure rose rapidly, however, in the course of the century, with Charles O’Hara (the younger) claiming an income of £3,700 from his estate in Sligo in 1803. Nevertheless, the family suffered from recurring financial problems

9

throughout the eighteenth century, which led to the family regularly remortgaging their properties in County Sligo and Dublin City and, finally, to the institution of a tontine on the Sligo estate in 1792. Despite this, the O’Haras had a reputation as ‘improving’ landlords and Charles O’Hara (the elder) made attempts to introduce both mining and linen weaving to the estate. These ventures proved largely unsuccessful, however, and further drained the family’s resources, but the tontine stabilised the finances. Moreover, the family increased their landholdings through their intermarriage with the Coopers and through strategic purchases. In 1876, Charles William O’Hara owned over 21,000 acres in County Sligo. The rents from the Dublin property provided the family with a valuable alternative source of income to that derived from their County Sligo estate. The property included the site on Essex Street on which the original Custom House was built. The family’s legal entanglements over these lands continued over a long period and are well documented in the collection. In the nineteenth century, the Clarence Hotel was built on the O’Hara property at Wellington Quay. As a result of the agrarian agitation and political pressure for reform in the 1880s and 1890s, the government introduced various legislative measures which brought about a revolution in the ownership of land. Following the Land Purchase Acts of 1903 and 1909, the O’Haras attempted to sell part of their estate through the Land Commission, but the sale did not proceed, and it was only in the 1920s that the bulk of the O’Hara lands finally passed into the hands of the former tenants. Unlike other landed families, however, the O’Haras continued to live in County Sligo and remained resident at Annaghmore. The O’Hara papers The collection of O’Hara papers held in Annaghmore was surveyed for the National Library of Ireland by Sir John Ainsworth, Inspector of Manuscripts, in the 1960s (National Library Reports on Private Collections, No 493). The bulk of the collection was acquired by the National Library in 1971 and the residue in 2001. Parts of the first lot of material, consisting mainly of political and estate correspondence were immediately catalalogued and listed (MS 16,706-16,832; 16,886-7). They are noted in Richard Hayes, Manuscript Sources for the History of Irish Civilisation, supplement, vol i (1979). Further items in the collection were later listed in the Library’s card catalogue (MS 20,277-20,402). Some correspondence relating to Charles O’Hara (the younger) chiefly concerning parliamentary affairs was later calendared by Anthony Malcolmson and is listed in National Library Special List No. 338. Some papers relating to the O’Hara family in the Cooper family papers have been microfilmed by the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland (MIC/603).

10

The arranging and cataloguing of the uncatalogued parts of the collection was undertaken by Dr Andrew Shields, the holder of the National Library Studentship in Irish History for the year 2001-2. His Collection List includes the items previously listed in the Hayes catalogue at the appropriate points. The O’Hara archive is typical of archives generated by landed estates over the period from the late sixteenth to the twentieth century. There is considerable documentation relating to title and ownership of land, estate administration, litigation, farming practices and the condition of the tenantry. A large part of the collection consists of personal material generated by members of the O’Hara family. This includes genealogical material and other biographical data such as wills, marriage settlements, trusts, and more personal items including commissions and appointments to office. There are also personal and domestic accounts detailing incomes and expenditure on food, drink, education, and entertainment, and an interesting series of diaries kept by Charles Kean O’Hara in the early 1900s. Perhaps the largest single component of the collection is the correspondence of family members. Some of these letters touch upon matters of purely personal or family interest but, like many other landed families, the heads of the O’Hara family were active in local administration as magistrates, sheriffs and county lieutenants, as well as serving on the board of the poor law guardians and the grand jury. Some also played a significant role in national politics and public affairs and served as members of parliament, and the correspondence reflects their involvement in these spheres. Of particular note are the letters from Edmund Burke to Charles O’Hara (the elder) and his son, Charles O’Hara (the younger). The correspondence of Charles Kean O’Hara is a most valuable resource for research into the changing fortunes of Irish landowners between 1880 and 1920. His papers are particularly useful in documenting his work on the County Sligo recruiting committee during the First World War and his attempts at securing employment and pensions for ex-servicemen in the years immediately afterwards. He was also active in organisations such as the Irish Landowners’ Convention and the Irish Unionist Alliance. In addition, his correspondence contains useful insights into the work of the Irish Land Commission in the early years of the Irish Free State. The O’Hara estate and family papers constitute an important primary source for the study of many aspects of the social, economic and political history of County Sligo, and provide valuable insights into the life and times of a prominent landed family from the early seventeenth century to the middle of the twentieth century, a particular strength of the collection being the twentieth-century correspondence. This area of the collection would be of particular interest to those researching the fate of landed families after the loss of their lands and political prominence at the end of the nineteenth century. The Dublin City material should be of

11

considerable interest to local historians, while the papers of the composer Kean O’Hara provide material for students of the history of music. Arrangement of the archive As it was not possible to determine the original order of the archive, which had been largely upset, a new arrangement has been imposed. The archive is now arranged into three major subgroups of varying size, consisting of material relating to, (1) the estate, (2) the household, and (3) family members (personal, political and financial papers). Each division is subdivided into sections according to the function of the documents it contains, with the exception of subgroup (3) where documents are subdivided by person. Photographs in the collection have been removed to the National Photographic Archive and printed material has been removed to Printed Books. The collection is generally in good condition, although some of the older paper documents have become fragile and worn, and a small number have suffered considerable water damage.
