Around the same time Dr. English was the Catholic Archbishop of Charlestown from a prominent Bandon family.
The O’Driscolls are probably of the earliest stock in the Barony of Carbery. In the 18th century on the Mizen Peninsula there are various O’Driscoll middlemen some, probably of Protestant Branches. It is likely that Dr. O’Driscoll was the son of a middle man referred to as ‘The O’Donovan’. Various O’Driscolls feature as witnesses as ‘Gents’ in wills of the Bechers and Townsends. One of the O’Driscoll women married into the Lord Carbery (Evans-Freke) family.
