Hi Chris
I don't know enough to answer this question, so look forward to hearing from others.
But I'm thinking of one kinsman ca. 1800 - 1830, definitely Presbyterian, maybe even Covenanter. He was not a land owner, at best a lessee (found a lease to his son at PRONI). He was a lodgemaster for the Masons, also for an Orange lodge -- yet "despite all this", got himself severely and publicly whipped for being a "United Irishman" ca. 1798 and not kowtowing to the authorities of the day!
And this family branch includes RC today .... lovely folks.
We really have intertwined roots. Or as the Scots might say, "we're all Jock Tamson's bairns"!
Warm regards
Dave

This might sound a little odd but I have a question.
Having grown up in an RC household I thought the Masons were not part of the RC culture.
Is that the case in 19C Ireland as well? Were Masons the landholders as opposed to the lease holders or Bog Irish as my family were known to describe ourselves?
With thanks
