These are in a bundle in the National Archive and were transcribed at the old Public Records Office pre 1922. Possibly for legal title purposes.  Three of those seem to be people of substance. The likelihood is all were related.

The Caheragh Crowleys may be related to the Crowleys of Ballyourane, Caheragh who in the tithe applotments c 1830 were one of the largest tenant farmers in West Cork.  They may be of the same line as apothecaries Jerry and James Crowley (‘Dr’ Jerry one of the founders of Phoenix Society), North St., Skibbereen of whom James married Rachel Evans of Lissangle around 1805.

IN the old Caheragh graveyard there are many  of the old Catholic gentry families O’Donovan of Ballaghadown, Caheragh and O’Donovan’s Cove, Durrus, O’Regan’s, Barrett’s Colomane.
