durrushistory's avatarWest 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…

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.

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


durrushistory's avatarWest 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.

Proceedings at the High Court of Justice at Dublin and Cork 1652–1654

Marriage License Bonds of 1679 and 1698 from Dioceses of Cork, Ross and Cloyne Mid 18th Century Marriage Litigation Arising from marriage of two Protestants: White (of Bantry) an Miss Dillon (Bantry) Married by Popish Priest.


durrushistory's avatarWest Cork History

Up to 1870 the (Protestant) Church of Ireland was the Irish State Church. Apart from religion it administered legal functions such as Probable and the regulation of marriage with its own internal legal system.

The format for Marriage was an application for a Marriage License Bond. It is likely that some Catholics applied fro MLBs for legal purposes or because of the Penal Laws and may have got married in Protestant Churches. There are a very large number of ‘Catholic’ names in the surviving registers.

This was expensive and as most Cork Protestant were labourers, artisan or small farmer the popular method was Bans where the proposed marriage was read out three time at service.

The litigation arose from the marriage of White/Dillon. Presumable he impregnated her and wen through a marriage ceremony. He then applied to re marry and her legal advisors issued a caveat at the Cork Consistory…
