It is believed that the Attrridge family is of English origin. The first record I came across in Ireland was the marriage licence bond, Co. Cork for Philip Attridge of 1683 implying that the family were in Cork some time before that.  Some common Christian male names recur Arthur, Philip, Thomas and William.

Dr. Attridge of Canada has done a history of the family not generally  available.

Given the destruction and loss of Irish  census records for the 19th century these listings contain huge detail of those exhibiting and their addresses.

Despite the perception of widespread poverty and distress in West Cork from the mid 19th century there was a cohort of middling to large farmers. Many  enjoyed leases and were improvers

In the Bandon area there were those  like in the  Bandon area T.J. Biggs, Garryhandkerdmore,  John Hurley, brewers, William Connor Sullivan. They didn’t agree on politics but worked  together to improve agriculture, bring the railway to Bandon and  endeavour to improve navigation on the Bandon river.
