 EIGHT CENTURIES OF ENGLAND IN IRELAND A SYNOPSIS OF IRISH HISTORY
Republicans/nationalists (those who advocate re-unification of Ireland as a sovereign, thirty-two county republic) are quick to point out that the six counties do not comprise the whole of Ulster and that no part of the six counties is as far north as is the northern coast of County Donegal.
The Republic of Ireland is sometimes derisively referred to among some republicans as the “Free State”, a reference to the designation appended to the twenty-six counties by Great Britain during the treaty negotiations of 1921 and an expression of contempt for the inheritors of those who accepted the partition of Ireland.
The formative epoch in the history of Ireland was the four centuries preceding the death of Queen Elizabeth I. It was during that interim that the Anglo-Normans/English established themselves in Ireland and the religious divide became such a great factor.

Because the Northern Ireland office's statement of what happened supported this version, all subsequent investigations carried out by the RUC were mobilised to support this explanation of events.

 FAQs About the Family of Thomas Wickham (1624-1688)
In 1802, William was named chief secretary for Ireland, while his nephew, noted businessman and liberal politician Henry Wickham (1800-1867), served as an M.P. for Bradford, Yorkshire from 1852 to 1867, and was also a partner in the Low Moor Iron Works.
According to some researchers, many of the Irish Wickhams are descendants of English nationals who migrated to English controlled enclaves of Ireland some time after the Norman takeover of Ireland that began in 1169.
Probably the easiest family to confuse with the family of Thomas Wickham (1624-1688) is the family of Thomas Matthew Wickham (1730-1790), who also went by the surname Wickingham.

 Phrase and word origins
Another legend suggests the word comes from Old Keokuk, a Native American tribal chief who was said to have signed treaties with his initials.
Apparently (and inexplicably), the phrase was adopted by traders and explorers in the region to mean "chief", and from this route entered the English language as a synonym for "those in charge", or "those very high on the totem pole".
The most plausible theory for the origin of "Bob's your uncle" refers to a case of nepotism wherein Lord Salisbury (Robert, or "Bob") appointed his nephew to the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland (1887).
