1841 Cork County election, Shenanigans, Patrick O’Sullivan, Millcove, Senescahal, leading Conservative party from Castletown Berehaven on Schooner ‘Sophia’ to Bantry via Adrigole, Leaving Bantry 4am, Breakfast in Dunmanway , Bandon 2pm.  Attacked by Mobs in Bantry, Bandon and Upton, Parish Priest of Bantry Father Barry and his Curate Father Ragley pass through Bandon in a Coach Greatly crowded, Festooned with Handkerchiefs, Branches Of Trees Waving, A Great Deal of Noise.

The losing parties in the election Messrs Leader and Longfield (to Daniel O’Connell and Roche) petitioned Parliament to investigate the election.

This is from the evidence of Patrick O’Sullivan, Agent for the Bereaven Estates of Lord Bantry and his English Bankers. He was bringing a party of mostly Catholic Tenants and middle men to Cork to vote.   The questioning of him suggest an element of undue influence on his part as most of the Catholic electors voted for o’Connell and Roche.  Longfield paid the expenses of the voters.

The appendices give the voters.

 

Although the O’Sullivan lands were forfeit for rebellion, most of their area remained under their de facto control in either the Bantry/White or Kenmare Estates with the families being agents or middle men well into the mid 19th century.

Research started with the 1901 and 1911 census:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Lowertown/Knock/1158418/    (In the 1901 census Thomas Millar is a Dairyman!)

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Lowertown/Knock/444397/

The 1911 census states they had 14 children. When I go to Family Search website I find Thomas Miller (or Millar-it shows up both ways) with Mary Chambers having many children in the right time period and the right place:
