1096 Cliffe / Vigors Family Papers The documents in this collection fall into neat groups. By far the largest section is that devoted to the legal work of Bartholomew Cliffe, Exchequer Attorney, who resided at New Ross. Many members of the Cliffe family were sovereigns and recorders of New Ross (Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, vol. ix, 1889, 312–17.) Besides intermarrying with their cousins, the Vigors, the Cliffe family married members of the Leigh and Tottenham families, these were also prominent in New Ross life (Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland), [op. cit.]. Col Philip Doyne Vigors (1825–1903) was a Vice President of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland. He published numerous articles in the Journal on New Ross and was preparing a work on the history of the Vigors family (Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, vol. xiv, 1904, 87–7). His comments and initials are visible on many bundles of documents in this collection and are marked in this list in bold. It presumably was he who collected and preserved the material on the Cliffe, Wilson, Vigors, Leigh and Tottenham families. Besides legal material, which is devoted largely to the Cliffe family – where the names of other New Ross sovereigns such as Napper, Tench and Winkworth appear – there is Vigors estate material, religious material relating to the Rev. Thomas Mercer Vigors, of Powerstown, and correspondence to and from members of the Vigors, Cliffe and Dyneley families. These detail life from India and Australia in the mid nineteenth century, county life in Co. Carlow in the early twentieth century, and correspondence with P.O.W.s during World War I. In all, over two centuries of Wexford and Carlow life are detailed in this collection. All items in the collection are fully accessible for research. See also Accession 1140
