The Orange Order
Irish fever’ in Britain during the Great Famine
During the worst year of the Great Irish Famine, ‘Black ’47’, tens of thousands of people fled across the Irish Sea from Ireland to Britain, desperately escaping the starvation and disease plaguing their country. These refugees, crowding unavoidably into the most insalubrious accommodation British towns and cities had to offer, were soon blamed for deadly outbreaks of epidemic typhus which emerged across the country during the first half of 1847.…
Crime, Violence and the Irish in the Nineteenth Century
The English diaspora in North America
From the early eighteenth century, a vibrant English associational culture emerged that was, by many measures, ethnic in character. English ethnic organisations spread across North America from east to west, and from north to south, later becoming a truly global phenomenon when reaching Australasia in the later nineteenth century. This books charts the nature, extent and character of these developments. It explores the main activities of English …

Invisible Diaspora? English Ethnicity in the United States before 1920
The article presents an examination into the English population of the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries, examining their ethnic identity as a diaspora community. Introductory details are given noting the relative lack of attention given to English Americans as an ethnic group. Topics addressed include reasons behind the invisibility of the English immigrant identity in the U.S., the existence of English ethnic organizations,…
Historical Studies in Ethnicity, Migration and Diaspora
The emergence of British fascism in the early 1920s was a response to perceived, related external and internal threats to the United Kingdom and its Empire. From 1921, Ireland, in alliance with international communism, was seen to threaten to further constitutional upheaval. The literature on British fascism, however, has traditionally accorded relatively little attention to Ireland, though that is now changing. This paper, focusing on Rotha Lint…
The Dynamiters
Transnationalising “Anti‐Popery”
Nineteenth‐century popular anti‐ C atholicism may not have reached the intensity of the G ordon R iots of 1780, but it was nevertheless sustained and hostile. Whilst a deep‐rooted anti‐ C atholicism shaped the B ritish psyche, a specific anti‐ I rish dimension also reared its head in response to epic migrations from the neighbouring island. This, in turn, saw traditions of intolerance spread around the globe as B ritish and Irish migrants re‐peop…
Emigration, 1800–1920
An analysis of key perspectives and approaches in the study of Irish emigration. The chapter takes an historiographical, methodological and conceptual approach, with suggestions for future directions in the field.
Child-stripping in the Victorian city
During the nineteenth century, police, magistrates, reformers and the press noticed a rising tide of juvenile crime. Child-stripping, the crime of stealing young children's clothes by force or deception, was an activity of this type which caused alarm among contemporaries. As the century progressed, improved policing, urbanization and Irish migration, allied to growing social concern, caused more cases of child-stripping to be noticed. Accounts b…
The Irish Diaspora in Britain, 1750–1939
Until the 1950s, the Irish were by far the largest ethnic minority in Britain. This leading study focuses on the most important phase of Irish migration, providing an analytical discussion of why and how the Irish settled in such numbers.
Ireland's New Worlds
Nineteenth‐century population structure of Ireland and of the Irish in England and Wales
This article uses isonymy to test predictions about the genetic structure of Irish populations made on the basis of geography and population history, and compares the mid‐nineteenth century population of Ireland with the late nineteenth century Irish‐born population resident in England and Wales. Surname data were derived from (1) the householders named in the index to Griffith's valuation of Ireland, a survey undertaken between 1846 and 1864, an…
Paddy and Biddy no more
These results are explicable under a model of cultural evolution, informed by the historiography of Irish migration after the Great Famine, including the perception of derogatory Irish stereotypes exemplified by the sobriquets 'Paddy' and 'Biddy
The Irish in the Mining Industry in England and Wales
Historians have largely accepted early Victorian accounts suggesting that the Irish were primarily a source of unskilled labour which was under-represented in the coal industry in England and Wales. Such acceptance fits with stereotypes of the Irish as a primarily unskilled labour source. The thesis that the Irish were excluded from the Victorian coal industry is tested by a comprehensive quantitative analysis, using log-odds ratios and associate…
The Origins of the Irish in Northern England
In the mid nineteenth century, the Irish became the largest immigrant group in Britain. Despite impressions of homogeneity delivered by the dominant historiographies, these migrants were in reality complex and changing groups whose variegated nature has been underplayed by historians. One of the reasons why the Irish tend to be lumped together as an undifferentiated mass is the lack of systematic analyses of the particular regional and provincial…

Diaspora’ and ‘Transnationalism’
Contribution to a symposium 'perspectives of the Irish Diaspora', with contributions also from Enda Delaney and Kevin Kenny. The article argues for the use of diaspora as a social science typology, such as class or ethnicity, where a basis of evidence of discernible that demonstrates social communication between homeland and new lands, but also between immigrants in the new lands themselves
Sisters of the brotherhood
The two ‘great unknowns’ of Irish migration history, women and Protestants, have received deserved attention in the decade or so since Donald Akenson first drew attention to them as lacunae in an otherwise growing field of scholarly concern. A review of the literature, however, demonstrates that Irish women have benefited more than Protestants from recent research. Despite pioneering efforts, much of the work on the non-Catholic dimension tends t…

Networks, Communication and the Irish Protestant Diaspora in Northern England, c. 1860–1914
This study seeks to explore transnational communication among migrants of the Irish diaspora through an examination of the Orange Order's networks. It draws upon rare local and district records and press accounts to explain the migratory links and social worlds of Orange emigrants from Ulster. The substance of the study echoes the findings of Canadian historians who have much richer records than exist in the public domain in Britain. It demonstra…

Irish Migration, Networks and Ethnic Identities Since 1750
Abandon Hibernicisation
This article seeks to contextualize a rare piece of evidence of the Catholic Church's attempts to control nationalist political expression among Irish migrants. The evidence, a letter from a priest to his bishop in Darlington, was generated by an investigation of a street riot in Sunderland in 1858. A detailed statement of such controlling influences is uncommon, even though historians have occasionally uncovered fleeting examples that are simila…
Culture, Conflict and Migration
Examining some of the most important themes in the social and cultural history of Irish ethnicity and migration, this study concentrates on those who settled in Victorian Cumbria. In later 19th-century Cumbria, Irish settlers were more noticeable than in any region outside Lancashire and Tyneside. These Irish were overwhelmingly from Ulster, with many Protestants among them, which had enormous repercussions for the culture of Irishness as it was …

Faith, Fraternity and Fighting
This book fills a gap in modern British historiography. Despite its public profile, the Orange Order has not attracted commensurate scholarly attention. Uncritical apologists apart, historians have displayed condescending censure, stigmatising and dismissing the Order as sectarian – a term unduly restricted in their studies to violence and demonstrations. Having gained unique access to lodge membership records, the author provides a corrective. T…
