Robert James Millar and Home Rule


In September 1911 the people of Ireland were asked to sign the Ulster Covenant, which was a protest against a proposed Dublin and ‘home rule’. The signatories wanted a continued British rule from London. This was signed by most protestants.

Robert James Miller did sign it on September 28th 1912 as seen below and here:

Just four years later Robert Millar would marry a Catholic girl, Bridget Mc Grane, and his relationship with his family and the Protestant community would be strained for many years.
