Among the families involved in the Fishing Business in Bantry in the 18th century were the Jagoes. Families of that name were active in the Pilchard Business in Cornwall in the 17th century

It is now believed that Sir William Hull active in the West Cork fishery also had an operation in what is now Atlantic Canada in the early 17th century.

Catherine Morris’s recent book ‘Alice Milligan 1868-1953 (Four Courts Press) seeks to restore the lost reputation as one of the main drivers of the Cultural Revival from the 1890s and her father Seaton (1837-1916), Businessman Historian and Antiquarian Collector of Ancient Manuscripts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Milligan

The book outlines the cultural scene in Belfast in the 1880s and mentions the Belfast Naturalist Field Club ad personnel such as Anna Johnston (‘Ethna Carbery’), Francis Joseph Biggar, Patrick McGinley, John O’Donovan, Michael Hussey, Dermot Foley, William Gray, T.Ward, Sinclair Boyd:

At around the same time Robert Lloyd Praeger was working an an engineer in the building of Harland and Woolfs yard later to be the National Library:

Belfast powered ahead innovating with an industrial base owned by local people. The rest of Ireland has never credited the entrepreneurial genius of the Northern people in business, industry and engineering.

In the 20th century both states in the Island airbrushed Belfast’s early cultural history and today it may come as a surprise to many.

Bulmer Hobson, was in the printing trade, was inducted into the IRB. He was from a Quaker background and c 1913 severed his ties with the Friends. He opposed the 1916 Rising, was imprisoned by the Rebels was was later released. He became a ‘non person’ in Republican ideology. Was was taken in c 1922 as a Technical Civil Servant overseeing security printing of stamps pensions etc. He later became deputy head of the Revenue Commissioners Stamping Branch.

From Becketts letter to Tom McGreevey 9th June 1936,

‘While I was bathing a filthy little mongrel got into a profound coit with our old bitch, now in the height of heat. I and the act, we were surrounded by a ring of guffawing boys, naked, urging me not to interfere, nor spoil sport etc. I had to carry the two of them without assistance, into the sea & hold them until the glans contracted. Then I had to bring her down to a dog abortionist on the Upper Dargle Road & pay 7/6 to have her washed out.

To McGreevy 6th Nov 1937, ‘There is no animlal I loath more profoundly then a Civic Guard, a symbol of Ireland with his official Gaelic loutish complacency & pot-walloping Schreinlichkeit, & and if if I can insert even a fraction of this feeling in the gloved skull of Mr D.J. Reddin before leaving this whoreless kip of a country I shall gladly pay the exrea pound for the pleasure.

Ahlaoimh and his father, a hedge school master left Killarney around 1790 to South Kilkenny where he had been invited to establish a hedge school. The diary describes how the school was built in three days from sod of turf.

In time Amhlaoimh joined his father as a teacher and over time went int business as a draper and as apparently very properous. he was on good terms with the local Protestant gentry.

He kept the diary in Irish for his own pleasure. It is a beautifully written evocative work, of business, having hot toddies with his friens observing nature and the semi-illicit love of his life the beautiful Widow Máire de Barra (he was married),

There is in places a sense of longing, no matter how prosperous to the countryside of is birth. Ti and time again this emerges in their accounts of people from West Cork and Kerry who have left. One of the Jennings who left Dunmanway for Australia in the 1860s was always talking about the Bandon River according to family papers. In Casper Wyoming, people from Kilcrohane had the same longing.

https://durrushistory.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/devotions-to-father-barnane-28th-june-moulivard-church-durrus/

The old Church at Durrus East, Moulivard was probably built around the 14th or early 15th century, contemporaneous with the ruined church in Kilcrohane graveyard. Inside the church is an incised cross dating from the early Christian period. This was found by Jeremiah Hurley, d. 1933, grandfather of Vincent Hurley while ploughing their farm near the creamery and then placed in the Church grounds. Another cross of this type is in Cape Clear and may denote an old monastic settlement. There had been a monastic settlement at Scartbawn under the patronage of the MacCarthy (Teig Rua sept) who had a castle in the area. This moved to Moulivard to take advantage of the water power of Four Mile Water and the mill race is still visible in Ballinvillen (townland of the mill). Moulivard Church was in good repair in 1639 and in use mid-17th century but according to Brady was in ruins by 1699. It is said that the white friars are associated with the site but there is no corroboration of this. There is a local tradition that the church was used in Penal times, when Mass was celebrated from time to time by itinerant friars. On St John’s Eve an open air mass is celebrated each year. The stone table used otherwise for coffins is used and in the course of the mass parishioners call out the names of family members buried in the graveyard for prayers.

In the 1730s the Franciscans had a limited presence in West Cork site of their former monasteries. There is also a local tradition that a priest was hanged from a tree on the back road near Durrus Court, there were episodes of ‘priest-catchers’ in 1707, 1712 and 1717. On the coast near Kilcrohane is an area Coosataggart (Cuas an tSagairt) where priests reputedly used to hide in a cave in Penal times. According to tradition there was a church at

John Connolly, Gortycloona, b 1927 has acted as an unofficial guardian of the graveyard over the years. He was told by his mother Mary (nee O’Neill of Ballycomane b 1886 who had it from her mother Julia b 1859) that there was a monastry of huts occupied by white friars located at Gairdín na nBráth (na mBráthar? Garden of the brothers/monks?) opposite the present gates. The monks were supposed to some 20 in number but were murdered by Cromwell’s troops who came out from Bantry. It is not clear if the reputed monastry was temporary used by monks seeking refuge or was of some antiquity.
Coolculachta.

Vincent Hurley, Ballycomane attributes a cure of a chronic back problem of his to Father Barnane and his own father who suffered from Asthma generally had an easy time if he visited the shrine on St John’s night. He said that Jack Minihane’s father from Ballycomane were tidying the graveyard the night before St John’s Eve and saw a person with two crutches arriving and leaving without crutches. The gifts of coins left used to be collected by Paddy Collins a gentleman of the road. He also heard a story of a woman from Kealkil with a very sick child coming to Bantry the day Fr Barnane died and and being told he died and the funeral was on the way to Durrus East and the child recovered.

In the Paddy O’Keeffe papers there is a reference to a tradition that O’Sullivan Bere’s troops heard mass in the church returning from the Battle of Kinsale in 1600.
