West Cork History

Marthene Williamson of Nova Scotia has put a significant amount of time researching families many of whom come from the Rossmore/Brahalish area of Durrus. More like Beamishes come from Mizen. It is interesting that through the Canadian and other records you can in effect get births from 18th century Ireland.

Another feature of the Canadian census records is language.  Many of the Cork Protestant families put Irish into the box for language.  It is not possible to say if it was Irish or the variation of English spoken in Ireland.  Accounts of descendant speak of a soft brogue and language spattered with phrases and words from Irish.  Even when they were speaking English they were almost speaking irish with english words using a different syntax than that used in England.

It is interesting that the free language app Duolingo has Irish in the top 10 with the largest market North…

1848.  Attendance Book,  Dunmanway, West Cork,  Church of Ireland (Regular, Not Great), Parishioners Names, Addresses, Age, Deaths,  Confirmations.

Some of the names reflect theories of the linen industry by Sir Richard Cox in the early 18th century.  he brought families from Leitrim and Fermanagh.  Names such as McGivern probably a variation  of McGovern reflect this.

https://durrushistory.com/2016/02/19/gentlemans-magazine-1749-on-sir-richard-cox-and-the-development-of-the-linen-industry-in-dunmanway-co-cork/

The Norwoods probably originate from Ballinascarty.  When they came to Dunmanway they brought according to family lore tow Deasy brothers their ploughmen from whom the Dunmanway Deasys descend.  The Norwoods were teachers, middlemen and professionals.

Burke’s Peerage on Freke-Evans Family, Lord Carbery, Castlefreke, and Contrast with Bernards (Earls of Bandon) Co. Cork.

West Cork History

Burke’s Peerage on Freke-Evans Family, Lord Carbery, Castlefreke, and Contrast with Bernards (Earls of Bandon) Co. Cork.

Re the Bandon Bernards, where George Bennett got his early history of the family from, heck knows as they didn’t come from the North of England – They came from Essex. They did have a coat of arms as it ties in with the Essex family. I think that the Frekes were more aristocratic than the Bernards and I couldn’t prove the supposed 1600s marriages between the Frekes and the Bernards (the 1700s onwards are fine) – the Frekes family history is quite well documented as far back as the early 1600s. The Judge amassed a fortune and bought up all that he could and from then on they were landed gentry deriving their income from leasing out their estates. They also entered into very strategic marriages so were intent on ennobling themselves…

Allman’s Distillery Bandon, Co. Cork,  from 1825-1929, Genealogy and Cotton enterprise..

The Allman family were an enterprising one having among other businesses cotton mill in the late 18th century.

In it heyday was one of the principal distilleries in Ireland employing hundreds and taking a large amount of grain grown locally, it had its own railway sidings connected to the Cork and Bandon railway.    Inter family litigation in the early 20th century did not help its survival.  Bandon Mart on the Bandon Cork road is built on the site.
