The subseries comprises a small collection of correspondence and family papers relating to William Woodlock (1832-1890), a barrister, and Dublin Police Court Magistrate.

William Woodlock was a member of a prominent and well-connected middle-class Catholic family. His grandfather was William Paul Woodlock (c.1780-1834). Originally a native of Roscrea in County Tipperary, in 1798 he moved to Dublin where he established a successful hardware business. One of his sons, Bartholomew Woodlock (1819-1902), was an influential Catholic clergyman, the founder of All Hallows College in Dublin (1842), a founding member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Ireland (1844), and the second rector (1861-79) of the Catholic University of Ireland (now University College Dublin). He also served as Bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise from 1879 to 1895. Bartholomew Woodlock’s sister Joanna Woodlock married (1829) the eminent Irish physician Dominic Corrigan (1802-1880). Bartholomew’s brother Thomas Woodlock married (1830) Ellen Mahony (1811-1884), a renowned philanthropist and Catholic charity worker who helped establish the Children’s Hospital on Buckingham Street in Dublin in 1872 (now Temple Street Children’s Hospital). The Reverend Francis Sylvester Mahony (1804-1866) or ‘Father Prout’, the well-known priest, writer, and humourist, was an elder brother of Ellen Woodlock.

William Woodlock was born in Dublin in 1832. He was the son of William Woodlock (1801-1883) and Catherine Woodlock (née Teeling). The elder William was a lawyer and an associate of the nationalist politician Daniel O’Connell. His son William was educated at the Jesuit College in Fribourg and was afterwards a gold medallist in oratory at Trinity College, Dublin. He was called to the Bar during Trinity Term in 1855. He was later appointed a magistrate to the Dublin Police Court. He worked from offices at 13 Hardwicke Place, and later at 15 Mountjoy Square in Dublin. He married Frances Dillon (c.1832-1916) on 4 February 1865. They had one son (Henry Woodlock). William Woodlock was a devout Catholic. He was also a keen scholar and linguist, contributing several articles to the Jesuit devotional magazine, ‘The Irish Monthly’. William Woodlock died (suddenly) in Dublin on 12 June 1890 (aged 58). His funeral was celebrated by his uncle, Bishop Bartholomew Woodlock, and he was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.

The content of this small collection is eclectic and includes family correspondence, photographs, ephemera, and writings pertaining to several generations of the Woodlock family of Dublin. Aside from records directly relating to the legal career of William Woodlock (1832-1890), the collection also includes documents pertaining to his siblings, and to his uncle Bishop Bartholomew Woodlock (1819-1902), and to other Catholic religious connected to the Woodlock family (particularly religious sisters of the Society of the Sacred Heart). A small amount of material relating to Thomas F. Woodlock (1866-1945), a Dublin-born economist who emigrated to the United States in 1892, is also extant. Thomas F. Woodlock was appointed editor of the ‘Wall Street Journal’ in 1905. Thomas F. Woodlock was the elder brother of the Irish Jesuit priest Fr. Francis Woodlock SJ (1871-1940), and a grandnephew of Bishop Bartholomew Woodlock (1819-1902).

Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., the editor of ‘The Capuchin Annual’, was responsible for compiling this collection, presumably for research purposes.

The subseries comprises a large collection of bound volumes containing photographic material, newspaper and magazine clippings, original historical records and ephemera compiled by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., the editor of ‘The Capuchin Annual’. The content of the volumes is extremely varied and, in many instances, includes rare original records reflecting Moynihan’s interest in Irish history, and particularly the revolutionary period. Some of the material complements content published in ‘The Capuchin Annual’ with several of the original photographs reproduced in various editions of the periodical. Other content (especially the clippings) is suggestive of Moynihan’s eclectic interest in Irish church history, Franciscan history, antiquities, literature, Gaelic culture, historiography, and the contemporary political and economic situation in Ireland especially during the Second World War.
