Bandon Born Alice Cambridge, (1762–1829. Women Methodist Preacher.

Cambridge, Alice (1762–1829), preacher, was born 1 January 1762 in Bandon, Co. Cork, of a presbyterian mother and anglican father, of whom no further details are known. She was brought up in the established church. Though she completed her formal education at an early age, she read widely in subsequent years. After the death of her mother (1780), she underwent an emotional crisis which resulted in her attending methodist services in Bandon. After her conversion she broke off her engagement with her fiancé, and started praying and preaching locally. In time she received invitations to speak in Kinsale and Youghal, Co. Cork, and Cappoquin, Co. Waterford. Opposition to her work grew within the ranks of the methodist movement, and she wrote to John Wesley (qv) for guidance. In his reply, dated 31 January 1791, he endorsed her role as a preacher, while advising her not to preach at the same time as her male counterparts in case she would ‘draw away’ their congregations. Significantly he also added that she should ‘avoid the first appearance of pride or magnifying herself’ (Memorable women, 196). In the summer of 1798 she addressed soldiers and their families at Charles Fort, Kinsale, where she was said to have moved many to tears.

1910 Skibbereen Weddings, Guests, Presents.

17 Wednesday Sep 2025

The first two weddings are described in Dr. Rachel Finnegan’s ‘The Memoirs and Diaries of Judith Isobel Chavesse. She goes into considerable details and here the full newspaper descriptions of those attending and the presents are listed. The 1893 weddings might be described as Protestant Gentry. The Local gentry had been on a downward spiral from the early 19th century but in 1893 they would have thought it inconceivable that their world would have largely vanished by 1922 excepting the enclave in Castletownshend. The 1910 is a Catholic wedding, again a very detailed listing of those in attendance and the presents. Despite the immense deprivation of many in the general district from the early 19ht century there was a thriving Catholic and Protestant middle class of professionals and merchants and this accelerated post 1922 particularly for Catholics. 1893, 1910 Skibbereen Weddings, Guests, Presents.

Will 1803. Sampson Jervois, Bandon.

ancestry, family-history, Genealogy, history, ireland


Samuel Jervois, Brade, Skibbereen.  Samuel Jervois , 1769, Brade, Skibbereen, in 1777 chasing Banditti in Murdering Glen outside Bantry with Richard and John Townsend and Daniel Callaghan.  Member at Bandon Hanover Association meeting Cork 1791 re Whiteboys. 1792 as Provost of Bandon convened a meeting on foot of a requisition of 200 where it was resolved to support the Protestant Ascendancy.   1799 Supporter of the Act of Union Between Ireland and Great Britain.  Maybe the father of Samuel who married Lucinda Allen.  Purchased 1770 Shandon Castle Cork (now Irish Ballet Company).  Elizabeth Murphy, widow of John Murphy of Newtown, is the sister of Samuel Jervois of Brade.  In this deed Samuel Jervois is creating an indenture of 14 hundred pounds on the mortgage of Castledonovan to provide a dowry for his niece Martha (Elizabeth’s daughter), on her marriage to Dr Henry Baldwin Evanson in 1828.  Among a number of Magistrate who at a meeting in 1812 in Skibbereen offered substantial monies towards the apprehension of those responsible for the murders of Ellen and Simon Loardan whose bodies were discovered in a lake at Bawnlahan and Glandore Harbour.

The only thing I’m not sure about is whether the lands at Castledonovan came into Samuel Jervois’s hands through his marriage to Lucinda Alleyn, or if they were Jervois lands all along, or perhaps even both families had interests in them. They are mentioned as “family lands” in his post-marriage settlement to Lucinda in 1818, but it’s not clear which family is meant, so Samuel may have already swapped whatever lands Lucinda originally brought into her marriage for the lands at Castledonovan. There is an earlier mortgage linking the Jervoises to Castledonovan (don’t know the date off-hand), but they may have been one of many families who acquired some portion from Daniel O’Donovan or when Lieut. Nathaniel Evanson mortgaged Castledonovan and moved to Four Mile Water. I suspect these lands were passed back & forth many times, probably each time someone married! Members of the Jervois family held over 450 acres in county Cork in the 1870s. In October 1855 and January 1856 over 100 acres of their property in the parish of Nohaval, barony of Kinalea, were offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court. The original lease, dating from 1710, was between the Busteed and Hodder families. In 1853 Samuel Jervois was among the principal lessors in the parish of Dromdaleague, barony of West Carbery. Townsend notes the discovery of copper on the estate of Samuel Jervois, at Leap, before 1810. Family history sources suggest that an earlier Samuel Jervois had come to Ireland with the Cromwellian forces in the mid seventeenth century. He had been granted land around Glandore.  Will dated 1803 described as of Bandon extracted 1806.
