Tide’s Out!


Finola's avatarRoaringwater Journal

the Cove

Up here in Nead an Iolair we have a perfect view of the state of the tide in Rossbrin Cove, the natural harbour below us which is accessed from Roaringwater Bay. Just now it’s a Spring Tide – and an extreme one: we’ve never seen the Cove quite so empty. I think it’s because there was a ‘supermoon’ a day or two ago – that’s the point at which the moon’s orbit is closest to the earth, and this affects the rise and fall of the tides.

low tide

On a day when the sun does be splitting the stones we walk the long way over the hill and through the lanes to have a look at what the low tide has revealed. The surface of the boreens is hot to the touch, and it’s hard to recall that, during the last couple of weeks, we have had wild storms, some icy mornings…

durrushistory's avatarWest Cork History

People worldwide with Cork connections owe an eternal debt of gratitude to Richard Caulfield. His career is dealt with here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Caulfield

Many of the Church of Ireland records from the Cork Churches were transcribed by him and the originals went up in a few seconds with the detonation of explosives placed by the Anti-Treaty IRA in the Public Records Office of the 4 Courts Complex in 1922. At the time the Public Records Office was regarded as among the best in the world.

The RCB Library in Orwell Road, Dublin have some of his original transcripts, the industry involved is apparent from his comments.

‘Reverend L.O.Madden lent me the Registers on the 30th June 1877, Saturday 1.30 commenced 8.30 (coden sie)’

In the middle of the transcription between different sections from Births to say Deaths he has inserted in his own hand.

This is an index to the transcription of the Greenwich In-Pensioner register  as taken from the ADM 73/58 book at the National Archives, London. This was compiled by Ted Beard. The original book had date of entry, name, age, place of birth, place of residence, marital status, number of children, trade, length of service, last ship and any injuries/medical conditions brought on by service in the Royal Navy. If required these can be given on request to Ted or myself. This was a very hard to read document written in tight spidery scrawl, so transcription errors may (indeed will!) have happened.

They are remarkable for their survival skills appearing in Cork records from the 13th century and after many changes in religon, wealth are still prevalent not only in Ireland but in branches in France, Spain, Portugal, the West Indies and as well as the usual areas of Irish Emigration.

Sale of Durrus/Bantry, West Cork Estate of Arthur Hutchinson Deceased by landed Estate Court, 1854 including to Townlands of Derrivahallow, Killovenogue, Clonee, Ahagoheen, Parkanna, part of Moulivard, Gutheyclona, Middle and West Letterlickey with valuable Lead Deposits with Legal Tenure, Maps, Tenant’s details:


durrushistory's avatarWest Cork History

By the mid 19th century a large number of Irish landed Estates were hopelessly insolvent. This was caused by a combination of the effects of the Familne falling agricultural prices since the Battle of Waterloo and the availability of easy credit. Many Irish landed estates borrowed heavily to fund children’s education, dowries for daughters jointures for unmarried female children as well as supporting an unsustainable lifestyle.

The solution was the Landed Estates courts which took over the Estates guaranteed title to prospective purchases who took title without the mortgages.

Many of the records of the sales which include legal tenure, tenant details and surveys are available in the National Archives. Better quality reproductions may be obtained there by individually printing from the micro films.
