This book intends to provide a detailed
account of the inhabitants of Scattery Island
from the earliest recorded times to the
1940's. Its primary objective is to provide
genealogical information on the main
inhabitants from the 1840's to the 1940's
and this includes all the available memorial
inscriptions from the graveyard on the
island.
Section two gives an outline account of
those inhabitants that settled on the island
up to the 1840's, taken from the best
available source which includes extracts
from a number of the Annals.
Section three summarises the
information relating to the main inhabitants
from the 1840's to the 1940's it outlines the
reasons why the island was repopulated in
the early 1840's and why its population
increased during the famine when the rest
of West Clare was in severe decline.
