A Chronological Index of the Irish Martyrs

Having looked at the series of papers by Father Denis Murphy S.J. in recent postings I now reproduce the chronological index to his 1896 book, Our Martyrs. Father Murphy's work covers the period 1535-1691 and it is interesting to compare his index with the catalogue of Irish martyrs submitted to Rome following the official Diocesan Inquiry held in Dublin 1904-1907. That list begins in 1540 and ends in 1711 and can be read here.  As the names on the official catalogue are given in their Latin version, this index may also help anyone struggling to identify the various individuals! The majority of the martyrs studied by Father Murphy were included in the official submission to Rome, but others, such as the Trinitarians of 1539, were omitted due to lack of firm evidence.
