Appendix B Tributes to some of the family
Mary Jane Kane “Many readers, both at home and abroad, will regret to learn that Mrs. Kane, of the Royal Hotel, Giant‟s Causeway, died on Thursday
morning. She had been ailing and feeble for a considerable time. No
one about the famous resort of tourists will be more missed and
regretted, not only by the immediate neighbours, but by visitors from
every part of the United Kingdom, as well as from America. Her
remarkable strength of character, combined with the keenest business instincts, enabled her to build up an extensive and flourishing hotel
business. As a hostess it would be hard to find her equal. Her urbanity
and never-ending attention to the wants of her customers made her
loved and respected by all of them, and few visitors who called at the
“Royal” but took away the pleasantest memories of the treatment
received at her hands. Far and near Mrs. Kane‟s good name has scintillated, and hundreds, nay, thousands, over land and sea
remember the warm, comforting hand-grasp with which she welcomed
and sped her innumerable patrons to and from her “Home from
Home.”
The hotel was opened by Mrs. Kane in 1863, at the time of her
marriage. The premises had been in possession of her husband‟s family for four generations. A licence for the hotel was obtained about
twenty-two years ago. Mr. Francis Kane, the husband, died in 1899.
Mrs. Kane is survived by one married daughter, now residing in
England, and two sons, who have been brought up to the business,
and by whom it will be continued as formerly.” (Coleraine Chronicle,
April 1904).
Note: Genealogically, the key is the reference to four generations. “Had
been” (past tense) is used presumably because Francis was dead at the
time of writing. The clear inference is that he was the fourth of the Kane
line to be at The Causeway. This supports my contention that John Kane’s
grandfather, possibly Patrick O’Cahan of Tonduff, was the first.
There is also evidence that Francis’s full names were Francis Frederick
Patrick, as he was “Francis F”, and “Francis P” and “Francis FP” in the
census records.

Dr George Smith
Note: This is one of several such references. The others all use the word
“exceptional.” He was what would now be called a mature student,
going to Queen’s University, Belfast when he was 22 – having tried the
traditional farming business at Islandmagee.

Dr FF Kane
Coleraine Chronicle, March 1981.
Note: He had a dry, wry sense of humour. He always asked me “How are
the balls of your legs?” And he referred to Muriel as “spouse.”
He was an elder of Fisherwick Presbyterian Church.

Appendix B
Brendan Bracken
My education started at Bushmills.
It was almost unheard of, certainly in North Antrim, for one to
“cross the border” to go to school, but that‟s what I did in 1952.
My father had been to Rockport, a prep school near Bangor, and
then to Sedbergh in Yorkshire, dubbed the Eton of the north. My uncles all went to Coleraine Academical Institution, but I had missed a
year of school because of illness, and I desperately needed special
scholastic attention.
Headfort was a prep school at Kells in County Meath and my friend
Robin Thompson from Belfast was there. There was a succession battle
over who should be its next headmaster, the result of which was that
the loser left and started his own school in Clonskeagh, in the southern suburbs of Dublin.
My mother and her very dear friend, Maureen Thompson, conspired
that the two boys should both go to Brook House where Peter and
Paddy Ross were starting the school.
Twelve boys. That was the size of it in its second term in
September 1952 when I started. The small classes were ideal for me and I was able to pass the
Common Entrance exam (to get into any of the big English public
schools) in November 1955. Sedbergh accepted me. And my days of
cross channel ferries began in January 1956. One of only four boys
from Ireland going there in those days.
It was a struggle to pay the fees. But there is a God, and prayers are answered. And there is an Irish connection where e‟re ye roam.
The chairman of the governors of Sedbergh at that time was
Brendan Bracken and I was introduced to him by the headmaster.
“Brendan, this is Smith, the boy I was telling you about - from
Ireland.” He never used his title – Lord Bracken of Christchurch –
bestowed on him in Churchill‟s honours list of 1952. Shortly thereafter, my mother received a letter from the school
saying that I had been awarded “an old boy‟s scholarship”. I cannot be
sure, but I think the source of the funding was Lord Bracken himself. I
spoke to him a few times subsequently and certainly tried to express
my gratitude. He always sought me out when ever he came to the
school, asking me how it was going. I had a warm feeling towards him.
He donated a bronze bust of Churchill which was placed in the
school library in the main reading room which was named the Churchill
305
Room. I thought this odd. Churchill went to Harrow, after all, and
although a leading figure of the twentieth century and worthy of all the
respect we could bestow, he didn‟t belong at Sedbergh. And he was
still alive! But who, who really was my benefactor and what was that Irish
connection and what was the Churchill bit?
He certainly gave nothing away to me. Never did he admit to being
Irish, but he didn‟t need to. He was a large man, of pale complexion,
but it was the shock of unruly fading red hair and the typical rural
facial features, for me, gave it away, not his hard-to-place accent. I did not know that the pale complexion was that of a dying man.
He was an enigma if ever there was one. The rumour was that he
was Churchill‟s illegitimate son, and, both strong and plausible though
the rumour was, neither man ever denied it. To add fuel to the
mystery, he ordered that when he died all his papers were to be
destroyed. One can only guess at the frustration felt by his would-be biographers.
What I understood was that Churchill was in Ireland in some
military capacity for some three months. While there, he had a liaison
with a girl of lowly standing. This encounter resulted in the birth of
Brendan.
As it happens, Churchill had returned from the Boer War in South Africa and was campaigning for a seat in the House of Commons
(Oldham – for the second time. This time he won) when the Bracken
conception took place in June 1900, for he was born on 15th February
1901.
But let nothing stand in the way of a good story.
There is no doubt Bracken was born in Ireland, but he was less
than candid about his circumstances, and his putative father died when he was four, having been an active Fenian and a founder of the
Gaelic Athletic Association.
After a spell in Australia, my benefactor emerged as a pupil at
Sedbergh. I wonder who paid his fees.
It is said he made good use of his Old Sedbergian tie, and was
elected to Parliament as Conservative member for North Paddington in 1929. From the earliest, he was a Churchill devotee. He was also a
prominent publisher and friend of Beaverbrook. He became a Privy
Councillor in 1940 and was at Churchill‟s side when he moved into 10
Downing Street in 1941, becoming his Parliamentary Private
Secretary. For most of the war years, however, he held the influential
cabinet post of Minister of Information (1941-1945) and if there was no familial relationship, certainly an intimate working one now
developed.
306
He is credited with having had a major influence in getting the
Americans to come into the war.
Like Churchill, he was (briefly) First Lord of the Admiralty.
He published both the Financial Times and The Economist. There is a further Irish connection: he had esophageal cancer and
was a lapsed Catholic. His nephew, Father Kevin Bracken, at that time
a Trappist monk at Bethlehem Abbey, Portglenone, County Antrim,
tried to get him to receive the last rights, but his uncle would have
none of it.
He died in August 1958 and all his papers were destroyed a day later.
Brendan Bracken
Let the record show: he was good to me.

North Point (c)220:from thence back to ye end of ye South Point 300. The
sea beating in divides ye Side into 3 Parts or Points (c,d,e) It consists of abt
30,000 Pillars of different Sizes, from 15 to 26, but generally abt 20 Inches
over, Each having 5,6, or 7 flat Sides, & yt which joyns ye side of another
Pillar is of ye fame Breadth with It, tho’ 2 sides of ye same Pillar rarely are,
each Pillar having as many others joyn’d close round it as it hath Sides,

another: When ye Stones of a Pillar are forced asunder we see either ye
Top of ye Under Stone, or Bottom of ye Upper one, by which it was joined
to ye others; has a smooth Convexity rifing 2 or 3 Inches high in ye middle,
terminated in a Circle from 15 to 23, but generally abt 20 Inches Diameter
which is within an Inch of ye Angular Circumference (j) The other Stone
has a Circular Cavity (v) exactly fitted to receive it so as to touch every

Appendix E
This is a note by the Rev George Hill (1810-1900)
in his book An historical account of The Macdonnells of Antrim (1873) dealing with the justification the
kings of England had for doling out land in Ireland as if it were theirs to give. He is referring to the year 1551.
The kings of England were long in the habit of keeping up a claim on
lands in Ireland, alleging certain rights of inheritance. Their claim on Ulster,
for example, was made out as follows:
“Lacye enjoyed all Ulster during his life, which was 70 years after the
Conquest, and had one only daughter, that was married to Sir
Walter de Burke, Lord of Connaught, who enjoyed them both
during his life, and had issue Sir William de Burke, Earl of Ulster, who
had issue Richard de Burke, who was Earl of Ulster, and Lord of
Connaught, and kept them both in prosperity, but was traitorously
slain, leaving but one daughter, his heir. His daughter, named
Elizabeth, was married to Lionel, Duke of Clarence, third son of King
Edward III. Lionel was his father’s lieutenant of Ireland, and had the
same revenues as his father-in-law, and he made no long stay
there. Neither he nor any of his heirs provided any good defence for
their lands in Ulster and Connaught, by occasion of which, in the
time of King Henry VI, all Ulster was clean lost. The king is right heir to
the said Earl of Ulster and Lord of Connaught, and yet hath no more
profit thereby, but only the manor of Carlingforde, which is scarce
worth 100 merks by the year.”( Calendar of the Carew MSS, 1st
series, pp 4,5)
The plea put forward on behalf of English princes as hereditary sovereigns
of Ireland is still more questionable. This plea is embodied in the well-
known act of the 11th of Elizabeth abolishing the title of The O’Neill, and is
thus stated:- “ And, therefore, it may like your Majesty to bee advertised,
that the auncient chronicles of the realme, written both in Latine, English,
and Irish tongues, allege sundrie auncient titles for the Kings of England to
this lande of Ireland. And first, that at the beginning afore the comminge
of Irishmen into the said lande, they were dwelling in a province of Spaine
called Biscau, whereof Bayon was a member, and chiefe cittie. And that
at the said Irishmen comminge into Ireland, one King Gurmonde, son to
the noble King Belan, Kinge of Greate Britaine, which now is called
312
England, was Lord of Bayon, as many of his successors were to the tyme of
Henry II, first conqueror of this realme, and therefore the Irishmen should
be the King of England his people, and Ireland his lande. Another title is,
that at the same time that Irishmen came out of Biscay, as exiled persons,
in sixtie ships, they met with the same King Gurmonde upon the sea, at the
yles of Orcades, thin coming from Denmark, with great victorie, their
captaines called Heberus and Hermon, went to this king, and told him the
cause of their comminge out of Biscay, and prayed him with great
instance that he would graunt unto them, that they might inhabite some
land in the west. The king at last, by advice of his counsel, graunted them
Ireland to inhabite, and assigned unto them guides for the sea to bring
them thither; and, therefore, they (the Irish) should and ought to bee the
King of England’s men.” Irish Statutes, vol.i., pp.230, 231.

Appendix G
Churchill’s County Antrim connection
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874-1965) is a name so
familiar he needs no introduction. But his connection with the
Causeway Coast and the Glens of Antrim is little known.
It is a fact that he inherited property at Carnlough in 1921. Carnlough, 20 miles (32km) on the Ballycastle (north) side of Larne,
is at the bottom of Glencloy, the second of the nine Glens of Antrim.
It is also not always appreciated that the World War II Prime
Minister was related to the Macdonnells, the Earls of Antrim. He was a
direct descendant, as we shall see, and this is how he came to own
Garron Tower and the Londonderry Arms Hotel (as it is now). In this
latter name lies the clue. Let‟s have a look at the family tree.
Churchill‟s father was Lord Randolph Henry Spencer-Churchill (1849-
1895), the third son of the 7th Duke of Marlborough. This duke,
Churchill‟s grandfather, was Sir John Winston Spencer-Churchill (1822-
1883)13 who, in 1843, married Lady Frances Anne Emily Vane (1822-
1899), the only daughter of Charles William Vane (1778-1854), the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry.
In case I am losing you: Churchill‟s grandmother was Lady Vane,
later the Duchess of Marlborough. Her father, and therefore Churchill‟s
great grandfather, was the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry.
The title Marquess of Londonderry is a title in the Peerage of Ireland,
as are both the first and second Earldoms of Antrim. A marquessate ranks between an earldom and a dukedom. The marquessate of
Londonderry was created in 1816 for Robert Stewart who, in 1796,
had been made Earl of Londonderry in the Peerage of Ireland and, a
year earlier, Viscount Castlereagh (Irish), so you get a feel for the
ranking of the nobility, not that earls, marquesses or dukes are
created from scratch nowadays. You have to inherit the titles unless you are a close relative of the monarch.
What adds to confusion is that great Irish achievers of yesteryear
made contributions to British history and so were honoured in the
Peerage of the United Kingdom as well.
13 At about the time Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were trying to persuade their
errant son, the Prince of Wales, to become Viceroy of Ireland, the position was offered to the 7th Duke of Marlborough. The year was 1874. Churchill‟s grandfather
later did take the job. He was Lord Lieutenant from 1876 until 1880. Another Irish-Churchill connection.
316
Robert Stewart (1739-1821), at the time of his death, had three
titles: Viscount Castlereagh, Earl of Londonderry and Marquess of
Londonderry. These titles passed to his son by his first marriage, also
Robert Stewart, best known as Lord Castlereagh, who out lived him by only a year.
His son by his second marriage is Churchill‟s direct ancestor and his
name was Charles William Stewart, born in Dublin in 1778.
Such were Charles‟s achievements, military, diplomatic and political,
that he was further (than by birth) ennobled as Baron Stewart of
Stewart‟s Court and Ballylawn in County Donegal in 1814. He attended the Congress of Vienna with his half brother, the British
Foreign Secretary Lord Castlereagh, in 1814/1815 which sorted out
the map of Europe after the mess made of it by Napoleon. He inherited
all his father‟s titles on Castlereagh‟s death in 1822, so, inter alia,
becoming the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry in that year.
3rd Marquess of Londonderry
In 1823 he was created Earl Vane and Viscount Seaham, both titles in
the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
His second wife was a wealthy heiress, the only child of Sir Henry Vane-Tempest and Anne Catherine Macdonnell (1778-1834), Countess
317
of Antrim in her own right.14 Her name at
birth was Frances Anne Emily Vane-Tempest.
And she married him in 1819.15
The Marchioness of Londonderry, only child of
the 2nd Countess of Antrim
He promptly changed his name by royal
licence to Vane, the name he subsequently used for his new earldom.
This is why Frances Anne Emily is known by the last name Vane. She
was after all Countess Vane from 1823 – among her many titles, which
of course included Marchioness of Londonderry.
One of their homes was Mount Stewart at Greyabbey, County Down,
a National Trust property today.
The Earl and Countess Vane had a daughter in 1822. Just to confuse historians, they came up with the names Frances Anne Emily for her.
In 1843 she married Sir John Winston Spencer-Churchill, later the 7th
Duke of Marlborough, Churchill‟s grandfather.
When the 3rd Marquess died in 1854, the Marchioness came into her
own, displaying the characteristics of her father, the Durham coal
magnate. Described as autocratic, extravagant and proud, in her widowhood she emerged as an astute businesswoman, well able to
manage, and even expand, the family wealth.
It was the Marchioness, the first of the name Frances Anne Emily,
who, in 1848 to 1850, built Garron Tower on the Antrim coast as her
summer home. On her death in 1865, it passed to her daughter, now
“Duchess Fanny,” who in 1843 had married John Winston Spencer-Churchill, the 7th Duke of Marlborough. When she died in 1899 she left
it to her children who included Lord Randolph, Churchill‟s father.
14 This Countess of Antrim scandalised society when she remarried a man of obscure origin called Edmund Phelps in 1817. Sir Henry died in 1813. Phelps took the name
Macdonnell. 15 She may have been motivated to marry young to get away from her parents of
whom she wrote “Never was any child treated so harshly as I was by my Father, Mother and Governess.”
318
Anne Catherine Macdonnell, daughter of the 6th Earl of Antrim and 1st
Countess in her own right and the great, great grandmother of Churchill.
You may be wondering about the phrases “in her own right” and “the
first and second earldoms of Antrim.” The 6th Earl of Antrim (Randal
William Macdonnell) (1749-1791) had no male issue to pass both his titles16 to, so he petitioned the king through Parliament to be allowed
to pass the earldom through the female line. The effect of the royal
assent was that a new earldom was created (the second creation of
1785) and he, having been the 6th Earl, now became the 1st Earl, and
the numbering started all over again. The other result was that, Anne
Catherine, his eldest daughter, became Countess in her own right, “countess” normally being a title reserved for the wife of an earl. Since
the numbering had restarted with her father, she was styled 2nd
Countess. She too died without male issue, so her sister, Charlotte,
became the 3rd Countess of Antrim. Charlotte was already married to
Lord Mark Kerr17 and this marriage did produce a male heir who was
able to take the title 4th Earl of Antrim (in the second earldom), but
not “Marquess of Antrim.” He was Hugh Seymour, grandson of the Marquis of Lothian. He took the name Macdonnell and renounced his
right to the Scottish titles.
The passing of the title through the female line saw the breaking up
of the estates, already stressed because of debt and litigation. Francis
Anne Emily the first inherited one sixth from her mother the 2nd
Countess after much legal wrangling, and Charlotte got the rest. Note that the Vane-Tempest/Londonderry wealth now merged with that one
sixth with the result that in 1871 some 13 781 acres in County Antrim
were Vane-Tempest and 43 292 acres were Earl of Antrim land plus
112 acres in Portstewart.
16 He had the royal assent for the revival the title Marquess of Antrim which had died
out on the death of his uncle who had no sons. 17 Portrush, part of the Macdonnell estate, has Mark Street and Kerr Street.
319
As we have seen in the main text, the 6th Marquess of Londonderry,
he who espoused the cause for the right of way at the time of the
Causeway Case, decided to put all the names together, so he was
Charles Vane-Tempest-Stewart. Just think, he could have gone a step further and added Spencer-Churchill.
Churchill kept the Carnlough property until 1950. There is no record
of him visiting it or of endowing the school18 into which Garron Tower
was transformed in the following year.

A Glossary
¶ A little bird told me. ¶ Harvey O. Brooks (Number one in Hit Parade of 1948).
The sound of any language is of the essence, and, as the north Antrim
dialect was an integral part of my life there, I want to share it with
you.
Anyway, we don‟t want any misunderstandings, so I am constrained to give you a glossary. There are expressions and words you don‟t
seem to hear now but which mine me of the time covered by this
book, roughly my fist ten years which is 1943 to 1952.
You won‟t find them in a dictionary, or if you do, the definition will be
somewhat different.

implies some degree of rascality.

“Boysaboys.”

A good many are of Scots or Irish Gaelic origin as indicated, but
generally speaking, there is a striking similarity between the north
Antrim dialect and Elizabethan English20 which is likely to have survived rather longer in the relatively remote parts of north Antrim,
notably on Rathlin Island, pre radio and TV and before there was a
tarred road to Dunseverick. The Presbyterian Scots had some
influence. Furthermore, the well documented to-ing and fro-ing that
20 Robert the Bruce (1274 -1329) retreated to Rathlin Island (or Rachrey as the
locals had it) in 1306. Dean Donald Monro writing his Description of the Western Isles having travelled mainly in 1549 gives us a sample of how one probably spoke,
and certainly wrote, in those days. Its resemblance to the north Antrim dialect is marked. Here is a sample in the aforementioned context: “On the south-west frae
the promontory of Kintyre, upon the coast of Ireland, be four myle to land, layes ane iyle callit Rachlaine, pertaining to Ireland, and possessit thir mony years by Clan
Donald of Kintyre four myle lang, and twa myle braide, guid land, inhabit and manurit.”
327
went on in Kingdom of Dalriada in a sort of two-way traffic across the
North Channel entailed the export/import of many’s a phrase.
I would not want the reader to think that these were words and
expressions whose definitions I learned at school. One learned as one would any language – from multiple sources and use, use of ears
mostly. For example, thran was a word I heard my mother use but it
was one which she found difficulty, as many others have, to define.
And so a story was told, as was the custom, to illustrate its meaning.
In a wild and remote glen, there was only one wee croft. Inside,
there was mother and father and their very constipated son. The mother had a dose of castor oil on a spoon which she was edging
towards the tightly compressed lips of the infant. After much
cajoling, his lips opened slightly and he uttered, “I‟ll taak it. But
I‟ll naw shite”.
The repartee, the ability to conjure up a unique description, was
something innate among the folk about The Causeway. After her first term at Methody, my mother had grown somewhat –
as you would expect at that age. The change did not escape the notice
of one of the fishermen at Dunseverick, Sammy Gault. He told her
“Miss Kane, y‟ve gote that hee-ght ya coode eat hee aff a half laft.” 21
And while we‟re at it, as they say, here is another.
My mother and her friend, Emily Johnston, went to get a lobster at Dunseverick harbour. The boats had been taken out of the water and
drawn up to the top of the slipway. The lobsters were in boxes in the
sea about thirty yards out. One of the fishermen, Bobby Wilkinson,
was there but no one else was about.
Being one of nature‟s gentlemen, as all those fishermen were, he
offered to go out and get one. He was getting on a bit, and couldn‟t
manage to push the boat back down to the water and pull it back up again by himself. So my mother offered to help him. But Emily hung
back, excusing herself by saying she had a bad back.
Sais-he: “It must be a gaai bad yin that‟s naw better than nane av
aw.” 22
In 1982, Paul Theroux the travel writer, walked from Portrush to The Causeway. He records in his book Kingdom by the Sea the way he
heard the directions given to him:
“ Just a munnut,” a man in Bushmills said. His name was
Emmett, about sixty-odd…
21 “You have got so tall you could eat hay of a half-loft.” A half loft was at about a
foot above head height or two metres, and covered half the area of a stable or byre. 22 It must be a very bad one if it‟s not better than none at all.
328
“Der’s a wee wudden brudge under the car park. And der’s a
bug one farder on – a brudge for trums. Aw, der used to be
trums up and down! Aw, but they is sore on money and
unded it. Ussun, ye kyan poss along da strond if the tide is dine. But walk on the odder side whar der’s graws.…. But it
might be weyat! ..In its notral styat.”
The Nook and Ardihannon from the Royal
Hotel c.1920.
The cowman at the farm at the Royal was Sammy Steel. He was also responsible for the chickens and the goat.
When he was a weechil‟, he was sent up to Carnside with the nanny
goat to get it serviced by their billy goat. Great granny Kane gave him
two shillings to pay.
However, the farmer up there declined to let the coupling take
place, saying the correct servicing fee was half a crown. It was a hot day and it had been quite an effort to get the nanny
goat all that way, so Sammy asked “Ogh, cud ye naw gee her just
enough t‟ tak the gnagh off her?”

Francis Kane's Temperance Refreshment Rooms were up-graded to “hotel” at an early date when Lawrence or his assistant, Robert French, visited The
Causeway. This could have been as early as 1864 when Lawrence started his photographic business, though French’s visits were in the period 1870-
1914. Courtesy of the National Library of Ireland.
