The Carte Collection (MSS. Carte 1-279) of historical papers was received chiefly by the Bodleian Library, Oxford in 1753-1778. This Calendar (MSS. Carte Calendar 1-75) gives an abstract of every paper in the Carte Collection in chronological order. It was formed by Edward Edwards, a librarian and writer, in 1877-1883 at the expense of the Bodleian Library. In September 2004, the Bodleian Library keyed in 32 of the original 75 volumes of Carte Calendars (Vols. 30-61). This data was shared with, and platformed by, the VRTI in 2024.
Butler, James (1610–88), 12th earl and 1st duke of Ormond, was born 19 October 1610 at Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England, eldest son of Thomas Butler, Viscount Thurles , and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Poyntz, of Iron Acton, Gloucestershire. Thurles was son and heir to Walter Butler (qv), 11th earl, who succeeded to the title in 1614 on the death of his uncle, Thomas (qv), 10th earl, whose one surviving child was a daughter, Elizabeth (qv). The viscount took his family to Ireland, but when returning from a visit to England was shipwrecked and drowned on 15 December 1619, leaving the 9-year-old James as the direct heir to the title. His widow Elizabeth married (a.15 June 1626) George Mathew of Thurles, Co. Tipperary, by whom she had a second family. Youth and marriage The details of James Butler’s youth are mainly derived from Sir Robert Southwell (qv), who presented a brief and laudatory life of the duke to his grandson and successor two months after the first duke’s death. According to Southwell, on his father’s death, Butler’s mother placed him in a school in Finchley to be raised in the Roman catholic faith, to which both parents were committed. However, through the manipulation of the law, James I claimed the young heir as a royal ward and in 1622 put him in the care of George Abbot, archbishop of Canterbury, under whose tutelage he received a protestant upbringing. The religious part of his education made a deep impression on the boy, but in other respects Abbot made little effort to educate his charge, and it was only the intervention of the grandfather that ensured some facility in writing, French, and Irish. His Latin was almost entirely neglected.

The 1766 religious census return for the Union of Kilmocomoge
The original return provided a list of householders’ names, as was required by the resolution of the House of Lords (see comment below about list of householders in Bantry), but only household and population numbers have survived.* The parishes in the union were Kilcrohane, Durrus and Kilmocomoge.
The numbers reported by Barry were:
Kilcrohane and Durrus, 71 Protestant households, and 343 Protestant individuals; 681 Catholic households, and 3,555 Catholic individuals.
Kilcrohane, 234 Catholic households, and 1,282 Catholic individuals. Protestant numbers only available with Durrus.
Durrus, 447 Catholic households, and 2,273 Catholic individuals. One resident priest. Protestant numbers only available with Kilcrohane.
Kilmocomoge, 75 Protestant and 519 Catholic households, containing 299 Protestants and 3,253 Catholics. Two priests.
William Carrigan provides the following additional information, which, importantly, confirms that the census provided the names of householders (in bold italics, our emphasis):**
Kilmocomoge: ‘Standish Barry, priest; Denis Doly, coadjutor: and in the list of the householders in “Bantry town & suburbs” we find the name of “Standish Barry, Popish priest for this parish”’.
Durrus: ‘Timothy Crowly, living in Upper Coomkeen is “Popish priest for the parish of Durrus”’.
Kilcrohane: ‘No priest given’.
