The Traceys of Sligo can trace their history back to the beginning of historical records, as they were of the Cenél Eóghain.

 

The townland of Gortnadrass (gort na dreasa) in the civil parish of Achonry may be named after the Traceys. It is likely that Gortrassy is a corruption of Gortnadrass. Achonry also contains the towlands of Sessuecommon,  Sessuegarry and  Sessuegilroy. Townlands contain ‘carrow’ are very common in Sligo and the adjoining civil parishes in Mayo.

 

The civil parish and townland of Kilross (Kilfrasse and Kiltrasse), may be named after Frossach.

1913-1922 Military History

John Rupert Treacy, [Professor] of Youghal, County Cork, Limerick, Dublin and Sligo.

1912

As for Jinks, throughout 1912…focused on meetings of the town and North Sligo UIL…He unsuccessfully backed John Treacy, founder of the town’s Gaelic Club, for the job of headmaster of the Technical Schools in July…Roscommon Journal 27 July 1912

Michael Wheatley (2005) Nationalism and the Irish Party: Provincial Ireland, 1910-1916

Sligo 1914-1921: A Chronicle of Conflict. By Michael Farry.

Another Sinn Féin supporter was John R. Treacy, a native of Youghal, County Cork, who taught in Limerick and Dublin before coming to Sligo in 1904. He taught in Summerhill College and in the Technical School. He had been involved with Griffith and William Rooney in Sinn Féin while in Dublin and was one of the “Apostles of Sinn Féin” in Sligo.

In 1916, the Mayor got another opportunity to voice his sympathy for the executed leaders at a meeting in Sligo to appeal for funds for the Irish National Aid Association. This association was set up to help the dependents of those killed and imprisoned on the rebel side in the rising. The Mayor presided and among the attendance were… J. Tracey…During the month of November the Sinn Féin party in Sligo town started a club in a room in a building in Pound Street. It was called "The Wanderers Gaelic Club" but was popularly called "The Sinn Féin Club". Among those involved were John R. Treacy…

The by-election was fought in January 1917 with polling day on February 3rd. All those on the republican side, though as yet not united, rallied around Plunkett. Many from Sligo tookcpart. Alec McCabe, who had been on the run since the rising took part as did some from Sligo town including probably J. R. Treacy…The Mayor, Mr Hanley and Mrs Hanley welcomed the Countess and a bouquet of roses was presented by Miss Ita Tracey, daughter of the chairman of Sligo Sinn Féin club.

In 1918. on August 15th there was a nationwide protest by the Sinn Féin organisation against the banning of the organisation and the banning of meetings in Ireland. At various places throughout the land speakers read a printed statement from Sinn Féin and as a result were arrested. In County Sligo a large meeting was held outside the Town Hall. The statement was read by J. R. Tracey…As a result of their action on August 15th Professor Tracey and John Hennigan were arrested on Thursday night/Friday morning and taken into custody. They were still in Sligo prison awaiting trial a week later and both men were offered some hours liberty to visit their families on Sunday August 18th. Treacy accepted but Hennigan refused. On Tuesday, 27th August, the pair were removed to Galway prison. On September 5th a meeting of the Sligo Urban Technical Committee was held under the chairmanship of Rev P. Butler. Treacy was a teacher at the Sligo Technical School and had been there for fourteen years. His appointment was part time subject to annual re-appointment. A letter from Treacy was read at the meeting in which he stated that "owing to circumstances over which I have no control I shall be absent for some time". The committee decided unanimously to re-appoint him and to appoint a substitute pending his return. On September 24th at a court martial in Renmore Barracks Galway, Tracey and Hennigan were found guilty. At the trial Hennigan admitted reading the Sinn Féin manifesto and said that he would do so again if the occasion arose. Both men were sentenced to two years imprisonment. In the case of Professor Tracey he was released at the beginning of October on medical advice. When he arrived at Sligo Station he was met by a large crowd of Sinn Féiners and escorted to his home.

In 1919, on St. Patrick's Day another protest meeting was held this time about the prisoners especially those from Sligo: John Lynch, Henry Monson, John Hennigan, John Kelly and Frank O'Beirne. The meeting was held in the Market Yard and the speakers included the Mayor, J. R.Tracey, R. G. Bradshaw, Michael Nevin, J. J. Clancy. Members of the Volunteers were there under the command of Liam Pilkington. The other Sligo prisoner, J. J. O'Connell, did not arrive in Sligo until Wednesday March 19th. His arrival was not expected and there was not a large crowd to meet him. However about fifty Volunteers did turn out and escorted him to the Gaelic Club, Teeling Street… J. R. Tracey president of the club.

In December 1920, among those arrested were John R. Treacy…All these arrests put further pressure on detention space in Sligo and at the end of January some prisoners were moved to Derry. These included John R. Treacy, James Devins, James Doocey and Harry Benson. Also those arrested on January 22nd were moved on February 28th. John R. Tracey of Sligo was moved from Derry jail to Ballykinlar around this time.

Wednesday, April 3rd 1918 The Jail Journal of Michael Collins

Sligo jail is a short distance from the town. 'Tis generally speak ing like all other jails. It must be old, I think, both from the look and the plan. The cells are smaller than those I knew in Staffordand Wandsworth but the same size as Mountjoy, I think, or the Frongoch clink. The size of course does not make a great difference. One doesn't get appreciably more exercise in a cell 14 by 7 than in one 12 by 7. Mr. Treacy and Mr. Clancy visit me in the evening. The Mayor of Sligo also pays me a visit. I tell him I don't quite like the look of some things.

Nov 29, 1929 (IT) Obituary

Mr. John Rupert Tracy

The death of Mr John rupert Tracy, late of Summerhill College Sligo, took place at 6 St. Mary's terrace, Sligo on last Tuesday.

The late Mr. Tracy was originally connected with the Sligo Technical Schools, and was subsequently principal teacher of Irish at the Summerhill College for many years. He was a very prominent Republican, being identified with the Sinn Fein movement almost from the begining.

Dec 7, 1929 (SS)

Professor John Rupert Tracey, who died at his residence, 6 St. Mary's terrace Sligo, was a well known member of the teaching profession who was born in the County Cork. President Cosgrave was a pupil of his when the late professor was on the staff of the Christian Brothers' School, James Street, Dublin.

Born at Youghal, sixty-one years ago, he was educated at the Christian Brothers local establishment and had a distinguished career. He joined the teaching profession at an early age, and taught at the Christian Brothers Schools Synge street, Dublin, as well as James' Street. He was closely associated with William Rooney, the poet, and Arthur Griffith in the early days of the Sinn Fein movement, helping to edit the "United Irishman". He was on the professional staff of Summerhill College, Sligo, for the past 25 years.

Known in Sligo as "the father of Sein Fein", Professot Tracy was an esteemed figure in the life of the town, and his death was received with feelings of general regret. The funeral which took place on Thursday, was of a large dimensions, and of a representative nature, the late professors popularity being strikingly illustrated. The coffin, draped in the tri-colour, was borned from the church to the graveyard on the shoulders of a number of old friends, and many marks of respect were displayed during the progress of the cortege through the town. Sympathy will be extended to his widow and family, as well as his sister-in-law, Mrs Tracey, Catherine Street, Youghal, and his nephew, nieces and cousins in that town.

In Memory of Master J Tracey "Aylevarroo.", Mercantile Marine who died on 07 October 1917
Remembered with honour, Tower Hill Memorial, England

John Tracey came from Rosses Point near Sligo in Ireland. He Captained the Aylevarroo and would have sailed to and from Liverpool many times, so it is possible that he may have moved his family to Liverpool and used St Anthony’s church to worship.
http://anthony1965.webs.com/surnamesqz.htm

…In October 1917, the Aylevarroo's master John Tracey, from Rosses Point in Ireland, was preparing to sail from Liverpool to Tralee, then to Limerick with a general cargo. Jack was employed as a fireman-stoker on the ship. Captain Tracey was short of an able bodied seaman and cabled his friend, Thomas Devaney, in Rosses Point asking him to join the ship's company. Thomas accepted and left for Sligo, intending to catch the afternoon train to Dublin then the night boat to Liverpool. In Sligo he met an old shipmate and the two went for a drink in a pub. Time slipped by and Thomas missed the train, the ferry to Liverpool and the Aylevarroo…The Aylevarroo and her twenty crew, including the ship's master, were lost off the Ballycotton Islands near Cork on 8th October 1917…

In Memory of Master J Tracey "Aylevarroo.", Mercantile Marine who died on 07 October 1917
Remembered with honour, Tower Hill Memorial, England

John Tracey came from Rosses Point near Sligo in Ireland. He Captained the Aylevarroo and would have sailed to and from Liverpool many times, so it is possible that he may have moved his family to Liverpool and used St Anthony’s church to worship.
http://anthony1965.webs.com/surnamesqz.htm

…In October 1917, the Aylevarroo's master John Tracey, from Rosses Point in Ireland, was preparing to sail from Liverpool to Tralee, then to Limerick with a general cargo. Jack was employed as a fireman-stoker on the ship. Captain Tracey was short of an able bodied seaman and cabled his friend, Thomas Devaney, in Rosses Point asking him to join the ship's company. Thomas accepted and left for Sligo, intending to catch the afternoon train to Dublin then the night boat to Liverpool. In Sligo he met an old shipmate and the two went for a drink in a pub. Time slipped by and Thomas missed the train, the ferry to Liverpool and the Aylevarroo…The Aylevarroo and her twenty crew, including the ship's master, were lost off the Ballycotton Islands near Cork on 8th October 1917…
