Convert Rolls

1704-1839

In order to avoid the legal disabilities imposed by the Penal Law, a number of Catholics renounced their religion for that of the established Church of Ireland. In the majority of cases this was not a sincere renunciation of the Catholic religion, as it was the only legal means whereby a Catholic could obtain basic civil rights. The Convert Rolls, covering the period from 1704 to 1839, in addition to the names, give the address and sometimes the names of parents. The Convert Rolls edited by E. O'Byrne has been published by the Irish Manuscript Commission (1981).
