1784 Colonel Francis Bernard probably later Lord Bandon gift To Father Shinnick, Bandon of Land at East Gully, Bandon for A Catholic Church.

Bandon was a place of great prosperity from the mid 18th to the early 19th century.  Migrants from all over West Cork of all religions flocked to the town and surroundings.  It is likely in DNA research that quite a number of Bandon names originate further west as do a lot of the Plantation names going all the easy to the most remote parts of West Cork.

The Church in East Gully as built was one of the largest in Co. Cork at the time testifying to the prosperity of the Catholic community.

It is believed that the Attrridge family is of English origin. The first record I came across in Ireland was the marriage licence bond, Co. Cork for Philip Attridge of 1683 implying that the family were in Cork some time before that.  Some common Christian male names recur Arthur, Philip, Thomas and William.

Dr. Attridge of Canada has done a history of the family not generally  available.
