Canon Shinkwin was talking to the older people in Borlin (Bantry, West Cork, in Irish around 1903 and asking them to speak Irish to the small children at night with a view towards arresting the decline of the language. There were 4 million Irish speakers pre famine in 1840 and in 1900 probably at least 10 million worldwide whose parents had been Irish speakers.

In some ways people continued to speak Irish but through the medium of the English language. To some extent that is still true. The rhythms of language appear normal but to non Irish English speakers appears strange exotic and sometimes puzzling. The language lives in hidden in placenames, field names in half forgotten phrase which exist in the collective unconscious.

In the Irish Civil War one of the Cronin family from Borlin was a Free State Officer and was known as ‘The Borlin…

I used this map in my presentation at Macroom last Saturday too. However, 110 million men in Europe share R1b – M269 so we need to drill much further down to find the more recently discovered SNPs that separate out the different septs in Ireland, particularly in Munster. We are getting there, however slowly.

1820.  Death of Doctor Michael O’Driscoll, MD., aged 64 at Charlestown, South Carolina, USA, aged 64, Eldest son of The late O’Driscoll, Creagh, Co, Cork. brother of Michael O’Driscoll, Eq., Baltimore, and 18th Century O’Driscoll Deeds.

Around the same time Dr. English was the Catholic Archbishop of Charlestown from a prominent Bandon family.

The O’Driscolls are probably of the earliest stock in the Barony of Carbery.  In the 18th century on the Mizen Peninsula there are various O’Driscoll middlemen some, probably of Protestant Branches.  It is likely that Dr. O’Driscoll was the son of a middle man referred to as ‘The O’Donovan’.  Various O’Driscolls feature as witnesses as ‘Gents’  in wills of the Bechers and  Townsends.   One of the O’Driscoll women married into the  Lord Carbery (Evans-Freke) family.
