Some Cork Wills (1528-1859), destroyed in 1922 copied by William Henry Welply of Balineen, West Cork.

The Welply’s are the McCarthy Mór’s who married Welply’s (a Dutch Man) daughter about 1700 and inherited his large estate in Cork City and Macroom. Welply had no sons and McCarthy assumed the name Welply.

Welply was born in Balineen 1866 and died in Belfast at the age of 90. He was a School Inspector and after Partition opted to serve out his time in Northern Ireland. The wills were copied pre 1922 most are now destroyed. The RCB Library in Rathgar in Dublin have some of his papers including many visits to Archives and Libraries in Ireland and the UK.

This is taken from Dr. Albert Casey’s collection.

In 1945 he was a member of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society with an address in Greenisle, Co. Antrim.

Subscribers to the Cork and Passage Railway 1837 including the Dublin Pim Family, the Ryanairs of the 1830s.

The Dublin Quaker Pims family had extensive business interests.  Their South Great George St store in Dublin was demolished in the late 1960s to make way for a hideous even by Dublin standard office block long occupied by the Revenue Commissioners no longer so.  They make a huge success of the Dublin Kingston Railway by differential pricing and the went  on to invest in railways all over Ireland.
