Appendix 3: Ms GO 545: Extracts from deeds, records etc. relating to the
name GUERIN in Ireland & England
Ms GO 545 is a hand written document held by the Genealogical Office, National Library of Ireland. The manuscript’s author (Thomas Guerin) was born 13 Sept. 1886 in Quebec, Canada. This typewritten copy is essentially a complete transcription of the original and, includes a family tree drawn up by the author and which was enclosed as a separate loose sheet with the manuscript. However I have made some deliberate omissions from the original manuscript.
I’ve used italics to insert any explanatory
comments of my own (as in this note). Apart from the omissions mentioned,
this copy of Ms GO545 is correct in its essentials; it could hopefully
be used to make a more complete typewritten copy. To this end I’ve
tried to maintain the same page numbering, page content and layout as
the original manuscript. Because of this most of the pages are far from
full.
In her book entitled ‘Huguenot Settlements in Ireland’ (first published 1936) the author,Grace Lawless Lee, makes reference to ‘Notes on the Guerin Family’ by a Guerin descendant. It’s seems highly probable to me that Ms GO 545 is the source of these notes; if so, this would place the date of Ms GO545 around the early 1930s. Extracts from deeds, records etc. relating to the name GUERIN in Ireland & England By: Thomas Guerin(Glen of Aherlow Family), In Ireland there appear to have been two names of similar
sound but different spelling. The name Geran appears to have been Celtic while the name Guerin does not appear till the time of the Huguenot exodus from France. Geran may also have been a form used by the Normans in Ireland for we find in the “Chartularies of St. Mary’s Abbey, Dublin”, public records Office Vol I, pages 462-463, 465 & 469, circa 1225 to 1250 the names of Baldwyn Geran appended to records. Also Registers of St. Thomas’ Abbey, Dublin, Public
Records Office, pages 80, 169, 124, 209, 289 and 375, in the year 1225,
the name of Garin (spelled also Garinus for the entries are all in Latin)
Archdeacon of Glendoloch. It is also found in the grants of Elizabeth: On the other hand the name Guerin does not appear in Ireland before the Huguenot immigration and the first record of it is in the will of Jasper Guerin proved in Charleville, Co. Cork in 1670.
