Pawnbroker Registrations Cork City and County from 1810s in Cork Interrelated Families as Pawnbrokers and Sureties From Bantry District, Helens, Trenwiths, Bellingham Swan. Link to 1912 Thornton Family Genealogy.
This is from a Parliamentary report. The report summary suggests that in Cork the occupation was not particularly remunerative.
The Thornton family is mentioned. In 1912 one of the family living at Ashton House Blackrock in Cork later the school did a family genealogy listing the Bantry Youngs from mid 18th century, Helens, Trenwiths, O’Sullivans, Attridges, Swantons, Crowleys, Longs among others. This Genealogy recently surfaced in Canada. Some of these names appears in the pawnbroker list.

In the Paddy O’Keeffe (Bantry businessman and historian) there are a number of references to General Young.
Canadian Biography: General #2 because of his age span of 1787-1863. His daughter Harriet Jane Young, born in France in 1818, married a Freeth and is on Find-a-Grave.
General Plomer Young #1: The part about the siege of Seringapatam (in India) included in the Burke’s entry on William Cole and Jane Young must have been added after the fact. The siege was in 1799 (or there may have been an earlier skirmish in the 1780s) well after the marriage notice of 1776 which stated that the bride’s brother was General P. Young. If this is Plumer Young, he must have been born about 1740 to have been a General by 1776.
Regulations made in 1735 Between The Owners of Seine Boats in Bantry Bay, Dispute to be Determined by Mr Nicholas Mead at His House ‘Spread Eagle’ Presented to Fishery Enquiry 1836 by Mr. R. Young, and 1749 Bounty from Royal Dublin Society to Mr. Meade and Young for Fish Landings at Bantry.
The Young family were involved in the Bantry Fishery since at least 1600. The Youngs lived at Young’s Point possibly now the location of the Maritime Hotel. This was build on stores which were once Young property. There are descendants in the Dunmanway area.

Looking up the Church of Ireland records for Bantry I came across Thomas Young Cotter, born in Bantry in 1805. His father Richard may have been born on Cloyne, Co. Cork and he married Ellen Young in London. It is possible that she was of the Bantry Young family who were prominent merchants and engaged in the fishing business. The Youngs are probably in Bantry since at least 1600. Richard was a purser with the Royal Navy in the West Indies and was late joined there by Thomas.
Thomas’s medical history is documented in a biography

He had a literary turn editing the South Australian Magazine and The South Australian Almanac. His father had earlier published ‘Sketches of Bermuda’
From Bryan Richards
According to the Muster List of HMS Cerberus, Richard Cotter was born Abt. 1776 Cloyne County Cork. I now discovered Richard and Ellen Young married twice, once in Bantry and again at what is now known as the Queen’s Chapel Savoy…

The Baltimore Fishery was part of a larger fishery including Leamcon, in Schull controlled by Sir William Hull, that of Whiddy Island rented by Davenant from O’Sullivan Bere and that of Cornwall. Hull may have had another fishery in Newfoundland. The fisheries were financed by London merchants.
