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
7
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
8
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).
9
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
10
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.

I. ESTATE PAPERS

sale of the properties of the O’Hara family of Annaghmore principally in

The subgroup has been arranged in 18 sections, including conveyances,

mortgages, legal papers, leases, rentals, accounts, correspondence, papers

O’Hara. Kean O’Hara was married twice; first to Anne Loftus, daughter
of Sir Adam Loftus, and then to Rose Newman, daughter of John
Newman of Dublin City. Rose Newman had been married to William
Crofton before this marriage. After Kean’s death, she married Sir John
