Some of the records were copied by the Vicar for transmission to the Rolls Court at the end of his incumbency. At that time the Church of Ireland was the State Church and ran a parallel legal system dealing with probate matters.

Among the names in the community are those long associated with the area O’Hea, McCarthy, Collins, Coghlan, Hurley, O’Sullivan. The Travers family are associated with the sea as Master Mariners, Ships Husbands. There a number of marriages from Tide Waiters early Customs and Excise and Water Guards early Coastguard some English. During the Napoleonic Wars the signal tower at Seven Heads was occupied and some of the personnel married locally.

The Lislie Landlord family is represented, and their marriages including on to a Charles Andrews a Barrister of Comber, Co. Down in 1839.

A number of pages are missing as they did not copy well.

Attridge Thomas, Castle Townsend, Lord Morpeth, Robert Troy R.C.Vicar, Thomas Attridge


In 1841 Lord Morpeth was leaving Ireland having served a successful term as Chief Secretary. The Duke of Leinster organised a roll of 160,000 signatures of those thanking him for his tenure. Maynooth University (http://history.nuim.ie/morpethroll) has organised the restoration and digitalization of the roll which can be accessed on ancestry.com.

One one page headed Robert Troy R.C., Vicar of Castletownsend there are around 250 names. Included also for local identification purposes is the name of Thomas Attridge, Merchant, Castle Townsend. Most of the names are local to the area but quite a number may be local Church of Ireland names. Given the loss of various census and church records it is of use to those researching their family pst. Included in the names are

Attridge

Thomas (Merchant), James, Sandy, John, Thomas, James, Arthur, Richard, John, Thomas, Joseph

Burchie (Burchill?)

Samuel, Abram, John, John

Dunston
William, Morgan, Thomas,
Michael Salter, William Glenville, Adam McGuire,
