Title: Anti-Repeal Declaration
Date: 1848
Description: In the late 1840s, opposition to the campaign to repeal the Act of Union resulted in the creation of a number of petitions in support of maintaining the connection with Great Britain.
This database is taken from a printed volume held in the Library of the Oireachtas, Dublin, containing the names of nearly 25,000 individuals who subscribed to one of the anti-repeal declarations in the spring of 1848.
Typically, for each signatory there is also an occupation and an address (often the townland of residence and its nearest town or village). The declaration includes names from every county in Ireland.
