Family of Patrick Tracey and Ann Tracey (nee Judge)

Patrick Tracey married Anne Judge at the Roman Catholic chapel in Newtonstewart on 15th October 1871. 

Both were respectively a bachelor and spinster, both were of full age (over 21), both listed as servants. Residence for Patrick at that time was Mullaghary and his fathers name was Edward Tracy who was a farmer.  Anne residence was Upper Kilstroll (wrongly spelt – Kilstrule) and her father was called John Judge who was a labourer.  Their witnesses were Michael and Alice Judge.

Patrick died on 16 April 1939 at Envagh, Newtonstewart,  - at time of death he was listed as married and a labourer and they say he was 75 – which is completely wrong as this means he was born in 1864 and was aged 7 at his marriage!!

Anne died 10 December 1944 at Largybeg, Newtonstewart,  she is listed as a widow of Patrick Tracey who was a labourer and they calm she was 78 – again wrong for the same reasons above – I would put her at 20 maybe younger in 1871 meaning she was approx. 93 at death.

“While collecting folklore and song in the area in 1909 Enrí Ó Muirghesa (anglicé Henry Morris) went to visit the Traceys in Binn a’ Phréacháin and transcribe their songs. He refers especially to that song rendered so beautifully by Albert Fry –

Mailigh na gCuach ní Chuileannáin

Is fada liom uaim í uaim í;

Is fada liom uaim í ó d’imigh sí,

Is fada liom shíos agus thuas í;

Mailigh na gCuach níChuileannáin

Ó Muirghesa commented that: This was a Co. Tyrone song written down from a recitation of Éamonn Tracey and his sister Nancy of Binn a’ Phréacháin, near Greencastle in that county. It was in the winter of 1909 I discovered, if I may use that term, Eamonn and Nancy Tracey, and I found them to be a veritable storehouse of Irish lore. The Traceys came from Connacht away back in the ‘troubled times’; according to their own tradition, which probably means that when some of the ‘plantations’ were taking place in Connacht their fathers had to trek and found a refuge in the wild vastness of Tyrone. There appears to have been a literary strain in their family, for an ancestor of theirs, Peadar Rua Tracey of Cashel, made many Irish songs to original airs. It is said that he used to get the inspiration for these airs by going out and listening to the varied voices of the mountain streams around, for the gentle purring of the rivulet, to the deep bass of the swollen torrent. While Nancy was the great authority both as to words and Music Eamonn knew sufficiently of both, to be able to accompany his sister’s singing, and when the two sang together around the big blazing turf fire, you felt your mind transported away back a thousand years or more into the very midst of the civilisation of the Gael. I have heard Irish singing in or from every county where Irish still lives, but the recollection that remains as the sweetest thing my ears have heard is the singing in unison of Eamonn and Nancy Tracey on the side of that remote glen in Tyrone. A great authority on Irish music has pointed out to me that some of their airs contain intrinsic evidence of having been composed for harp accompaniment, thus showing their antiquity, for it is many a year since harps were last played in the glens of  ‘dark Tyrone’.

Ó Muirghesa wrote down eight hundred lines of Irish verse from the Traceys and in so doing so saved this treasure of Irish song from oblivion. Many of these songs can be found in his large volumes of Irish song, Céad de Cheoltaibh (1915) and Dhá Chéad de Cheoltaibh Uladh (1934).

D'fhiafruigh Peadar Ó Martáin fá chiall an líne seo:

      Óró sé do bheatha bhaile

Cialluigheann sé "welcome home", do na saighdiúirí Éireannacha b'fhéidir a bhí ag troid ar an mhór-roinn, agus a rabh súil go bpillfeadh siad lena dtír féin a shaoradh. Nó b'fhéidir gurab iad na Stiubhartaigh a bhí i gceist.

Fuair Éinri Ó Muirgheasa an t-amhrán seo ó mhuinntir Threasaigh i gCo Thír Eoghain (dearc "Ceád de Cheoltaí Uladh" nó "Dhá Chéad de Cheoltaí Uladh", níl fhios agam cé acu). Rinne Pádraig Mac Piarais leagan úr dó.

Deirtear "sé do bheatha" do dhuine a thig chun toighe chugat - sé sin, más fáilte atá agat dó!
