The Waterford Chronicle
The Waterford Chronicle (1804-1872) was a newspaper from Waterford, Ireland. The paper was founded in 1804, and was known then as Ramsy's Waterford Chronicle. In 1825, the Irish language scholar Philip Fitzgerald Barron[1] bought the Waterford Chronicle, and used it to advocate for Catholic emancipation.[2] The paper was passed to his brother Pierse Richard Barron, and then sold to a Mr Peter Strange before being owned by Edward Netterville Barron (another member of the Barron family). The paper struggled, going through various owners. It was published twice weekly for a while, revived by Patrick Flyin in 1850, and then became a weekly publication in 1865.
The paper ceased publication in 1872.
