4 CHAPTER 1. FIRST GENERATION 1792 - 1813 Figure 1.3: Map of Waterford, Ireland
5 family of Belcher’s in Waterford in the early years of the 18th Century, as evidenced by documents in the Registry of Deeds in Ireland. A William Belcher, Merchant of Waterford, and Mark Belcher, his brother, a landowner at Kells in Co. Kilkenny (not Co. Meath), sons of an Arthur Belcher of Kells, engaged in considerable number of legal transactions relating to land ownership during that time. However there is no suggestion in the documents of a James Belcher, so if he was a relative, he must have been a poor relation. There were also at least two families of Belchers in Co. Cork, a neighbouring County, in Bandon and in Cork City, so one of these families may have included James.) Extract from Pigot & Co. Directory of August 12 1824 concerning Mount Rath A Past Market Fair Town, situated in Queen’s County on the High Road between Dublin and Limerick distant from the former 47 miles South West and the latter 48 miles North East, from Maryborough 7 miles South West and from Killkenny 22 miles North West. There are few towns in Ireland so improved - a handsome new church with a tower, spire and a good clock and a new street called Coote Street having lately been built. It has a good Market-house, over which is held the Manor Court for recovery of debts under 5 pounds. The Market for fresh meat is excellent and very cheap - it is considered the best real market in the kingdom. The town stands in a very eligible situation for world trade, being midway between Dublin and Limerick. The Manufacture carried on is chiefly Worsted stuffs and gives employment to most of the poor of the ”parish”; there is also a cotton spinning factory. Besides the Church, there is the Roman Catholic chapel, two Methodist chapels and a Quaker meeting house. There has lately been built a free parochial school for an unlimited number of male and female children, who are taught reading, writing & arithmetic on the Lancastrian and Pestolazzian plans; the number already taught is one hundred; the present master is Mr. Henry Smyth. Mount Rath also possesses a Catholic Free School for boys and girls and a Dispensary for the poor. There are fairs on 17th February, Easter Monday, the second Thursday in May, the second Thursday in August, the 29th September and 10th November. The population is about 4700. Note the population of Maryborough 2800 and Mount Mellick 2000.
