Notes: Edward was made a deacon on 21 May 1758 and a priest a week later on 28 May, both in Ossory. The next day he was licensed as curate of Rower at £40 a year. On 9 June 1759 he was also licensed as curate of Cloneamery, both of which posts he held until 1766. He was Vicar of Ballytarsney from 1763 to 1791.

     THE NIGHT HERON,
  Nycticorax Gardenii, Gmel. (sp.)
  ————  Europæns, Steph.
  Ardea nycticorax, Linn.
    Is of very rare occurrence.
...
As noticed by Mr. Robert J. Montgomery, before the Dublin Nat. Hist. Society:—“A night heron was killed on the 1st of May 1848, at Beaulieu, in the county Louth, the seat of the Rev. A. J. Montgomery, by the Rev. Edward Groome, the rector of the parish. It was observed for several days frequenting the reedy margin of a piece of water in the demesne at Beaulieu, and was at first mistaken for a bittern by my cousin, who, knowing I was anxious for a specimen of the latter bird, in vain endeavoured to get a shot at it. When started from the reeds it took refuge in a tree. Mr. Groome shot twice at it before he succeeded in knocking it down, and even then, though severely wounded, it crawled through the weeds, and was with some difficulty captured. I received it the same day. On dissection it proved to be a male. While fresh, the irides were beautiful, of a colour between orange and vermilion—the legs and feet pale lemon yellow, of a particular delicate hue. Mr. Yarrell says they are green; but in this case they were of the colour mentioned. It measured, from the tip of the beak to the end of the tail twenty-three and a half inches; from the carpal joint to the end of the wing, twelve inches. The secondaries were spotted as in the Gardenian heron. It wanted the white crest, but was in other respects nearly in adult plumage.”

Death: 14 January 1874, at Palace Street, Drogheda, county Louth, Ireland

Edward John Beresford Groome

Birth: 11 August 1861, in Ireland

Baptism: 19 September 1861, in Beaulieu, county Louth, Ireland

Father: Edward G. Groome

Mother: Harriette Maxwell (Carpendale) Groome

Married: Susan Jane Ewing on 17 February 1892, in St Peter, Drogheda, county Louth, Ireland
Edward John Beresford Groome is recorded as a bachelor, of full age, the son of Edward Groome, clerk in holy orders. Edward is a gentleman, resident at St Peter's Place, Drogheda. Susan Jane Ewing is recorded as a spinster, of full age, the daughter of Samuel Ewing, gentleman. She is resident at St Peter's Place, Drogheda. The marriage was witnessed by J. W. Chambers, Richard R. Groome and Etta F. F. Bowen.

Susan was born on 4 July 1865, in West Derby district, Lancashire, and baptised on 28 July 1865 in St Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, the daughter of Samuel Ewing and Susan Frances Chambers. She died on 7 June 1944 and is buried in Brandon Municipal Cemetery, section 16, block H, plot 46 subplot 2

Children: Occupation: Farmer. In 1906, Edward had 9 horses, 6 milch cows, 9 other cattle and 14 pigs.

Notes: Edward left Ireland for Canada aboard the Parisian which departed Liverpool on 28 April 1881 and stopped in Londonderry, where Edward embarked. The Parisian arrived in Quebec City on 8 May 1881, and John arrived in Winnipeg on 22 May of that year. He homesteaded near Brandon, Manitoba, and his grant in Section 16 Township 9 Range 19 was awarded on 31 August 1885. In 1892 he married Susan Ewing in Ireland and Susan emigrated to Canada that same year.

The Assiniboine Basin by Martin Kavanagh (1946) p123, contains extracts of a letters written by Edward to his mother. One headed Grand Valley, N.W.T., June 2, 1881, describes the land situation.
"All the land was taken up till we reached Little Souris district. Our caravan consisted of two Red River carts, two yoke of oxen, a buckboard for the guide, and a pair of horses."

Edward located at Little Souris. An extract dated July 19, 1881, describes his journey into town from his homestead:
"I started in an oxcart for Grand Valley, and after paying a dollar, for crossing the river by the ferry, the woman in the Post Office told me my letters
were sent to the Roddick settlement about five miles south."

The ferryman was George Ferrier who later farmed in the district. His family became close friends with the Groomes despite the exorbitant charge. The speed with which Brandon arose is indicated in the following extract (Brandon, July 18, 1881).
"Brandon is a city which owing to Grand Valley being flooded by the river has sprung up on this side of it and I saw the site of it about eight weeks ago and there was not a single house on it and now there are streets and I suppose over a hundred houses and tents."

There are very few references to Christmas, 1881. Mr. Groome has this statement in a letter of December 3.
"We have not yet, in this part of the world attained that stage of civilization at which they have Xmas cards."

One line in a letter of August 4, 1881, has a significance showing how quickly the country was being civilized:
"Mrs. Daubney has a piano."

Brandon's first election for the provincial legislature was held on November 2, 1881. The winning candidate was the Liberal, J. W. Sifton. In
a letter to his mother dated "Guy Foxes Day, 1881," Edward writes in a humorous vein:
"Well! on Wednesday Hambrough, Stanley and McKelvie the two carpenters and myself went into the election "first in Brandon" and as I had my homestead for three month on that day I had a vote and so had Hambrough and McKelvie so we voted for the conservative candidate whom I hope will get in but the result is not known yet. I have grown about twelve feet I think since I became so extensive a land proprietor as to entitle me to a vote. I may mention that I examined the gentleman I voted for most studiously in order to satisfy myself thoroughly that he had no corns but to my utter horror and disgust I afterwards ascertained that he was a Co(r)nservative, they would not let me change my vote."

Further insight is given into conditions in a letter from Edward to his cousin William Carpendale in Ireland, December 2, 1881.
Groome left Brandon on a haymaking contract west of Brandon in July 1881.
Dear William:
I got back to Brandon about a month ago after a pretty hard trip haymaking. We followed the line marked out for the railroad 200 miles west from Brandon which brought us twelve miles due south of Qu'Appelle. ... We went into Qu'Appelle for provisions. On the way home we went into Fort Ellice. About ten miles of the land west of it is a beautiful prairie. The town has got a Hudson's Bay Store and a few other stores but the police barracks was moved on the 1st of last July as the province of Manitoba was extended that far and the Mounted Police are only stationed through a territory. The railroad line runs twelve miles south of Fort Ellice. We passed the workmen laying the rails about fifteen miles west of Brandon and we saw a locomotive there but the lines are graded fifty miles beyond that. Brandon has wonderfully changed. There are over 500 houses in it now and a train to and from Winnipeg every day except Sunday.

Edward was on the haymaking trip for seventy-eight days at $1 a day, but the contractor only paid $30. Groome's laconic comment was, "He was an American."

Death: 25 August 1936, in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, aged 75

Father: Edward Groome

Education: Entered Trinty College Dublin on 4 November 1816
Alumni Dublinenses p350 (ed. G. D. Burtchaeli and T. U. Sadlier, 1935):
GROOME, SMYTH, Pen. (P.T.), Nov. 4, 1816, aged 14; s. of Edward, Generosus ; b. Carlow.

Notes:
W.F. Montague Groome list three unnamed Groome boys as sons of Edward Groome and Sarah Smythe, but does not list Smyth Groome (we know Smythe's name from the TCD records), so we can assume that he is one of these unnamed boys. The notes attached to the unnamed boys are:
1) Soldier
2) Soldier. Lieutenant in the Cavan Regiment. Died by accident  [this was John Groome]
3) served in Canada

I would thus guess that one of the notes (1) or (3) applies to Smythe though I can't tell which one.
