    Wiki -
    "The nonjuring schism was a split in the Anglican churches of England, Scotland and Ireland in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, over whether William of Orange and his wife Mary could legally be recognised as King and Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland.
    The word "nonjuring" means "not swearing [an oath]", from the Latin word iuro or juro meaning "to swear an oath"."

    Yes I was referring to William Law and co; who else in terms of religion could be described as non-Jurors?

    Wiki mentions Ireland but I have never come across any actual reference to Irish non-Jurors and wiki is not the greatest source on earth.

    Offhand from that historical era from what I read in various texts the main Jacobite supporters were Scottish post Boyne. Not that there was not some cross-sectarian support for that cause in Ireland, but it was more actualised into action by sections of Scottish society.

    No Irish Protestants and even some Presbyterians supported the Jacobite cause and fought with King James II- but were there Non-Juror Parishes in Ireland?

    My one book on that period at hand 'The Siege of Derry' by Macrory, P does not mention them in Ireland in and around that time.

    I don't think there were any non-juror parishes.

    Even when it was firmly established and at its numerical largest, Irish Anglicanism has always been a minority religion in Ireland. And I think that created a sensitivity about, and pressure to avoid, any kind of schism.
