The ending of the Napoleonic Wars withe Battle of waterloo caused a huge collapse of farm prices and triggered a widespread depression. In the greater Bandon area this was worsened by the dependance of the textile industry much home based which could not withstand competition from England.

There are many accounts of widespread distress among Bandon weavers.

Presumably a brother slightly different spelling ‘Callinan’ Thomas educated Mr. Barrington admitted 5th July 1802.

Walker’s magazine records a marriage in November 1779 between John Callanan MD and Miss Cooper, Barry’s Court, daughter of William. It is possible that Cooper is a version of Coppinger and might account for his schooling in Cobh.

Of interest are the extensive pieces in relation to Michael Kearney an extensive farmer in Garretstown adn a listing of the various textiles manufactured in Bandon.
