He was one of a small minority of Englishmen who have been sensitive to the needs of Ireland and he courageously defended the good name of his adopted country. His wife died in 1827 and he himself was declared bankrupt in 1828. He then went to London

Petition of Maurice de Carrreu (Carrew) to King of England c1300 including Donemark, Bantry.

This petition written in French is held at the UK National Archives in Kew.  It refers among other places to Donemark, Bantry, Co. Cork and is one of the earliest written references to that part of the country.

The Normans would have found the fertile Drumlin belt around Bantry attractive.

‘Cave Canem’, Beware of the Dog, from Vesuvius 79 AD, replica guarding entrance to Bantry House, West Cork, acquire on Grand Tour by Viscount Berehaven pre 1840.


durrushistory's avatarWest Cork History

‘Cave Canem’, Beware of the Dog, from Vesuvius 79 AD, replica guarding entrance to Bantry House, West Cork, acquire on Grand Tour by Viscount Berehaven pre 1840.

Cave Cane
Beware of the 2,000 year-old dog!
Cave Canem (Latin – ‘Beware of the Dog!’) The dog we are here being warned about probably lived in England in the second quarter of the 19th century, but it must have had ancestors in Italy nearly two thousand years ago, because this is a copy of a mosaic found in Pompeii – hence the Latin – buried in volcanic ash when Vesuvius erupted on 24 August AD79.

Cave Canum tile panel

The ‘House of the Tragic Poet’, excavated in 1824-1825, is named after other mosaics discovered there depicting scenes from the theatre. But it was the dog mosaic found in the entrance hall that seized everyone’s imagination – including some enterprising sort who saw…

Burial Register, Macroom, Co. Cork, Church of Ireland with some Catholic names, 1727-1836


durrushistory's avatarWest Cork History

The register was transcribed by the Public Record Office in 1949 (p59-153) M5061, parts of the original are difficult to decipher. It may be the case that the graveyard was shared with Catholics as there are a lot of ‘Catholic’ names far more than are usually found in 18th century Church of Ireland records.
The burials will have many Catholics. It is possible that not all are buried in the C of I graveyard as it appears very small. There are however many beautiful Catholic headstones in the grounds. The C of I had ownership of all old church sites and burial fees were an income. In some cases they did not follow up on the old churches/graveyards in a parish but in others they did. All Catholics and most non conformists in Dublin are buried in C of I burial grounds up to the early 1800’s and the 1st…

Ulysses: 7.679-80

From Vivien Igoe.

It is ironic that his father was a Customs Officer. On his maternal O’Donovan side the extended family of O’Donovan and Deasy, Clonakilty probably acquired part of their 18th century fortune from smuggling. In the 19th century the families were highly political. Among their members were Magistrates, the first Catholic Clerk of The Crown for Co. Cork since the 17th century, an MP and later Judge.

The Joycean connection probably came from James Joyce’s father who was heavily involved with the Irish Parliamentary Party.
