The 1766 religious census return for the Union of Kilmocomoge
The original return provided a list of householders’ names, as was required by the resolution of the House of Lords (see comment below about list of householders in Bantry), but only household and population numbers have survived.* The parishes in the union were Kilcrohane, Durrus and Kilmocomoge.
The numbers reported by Barry were:
Kilcrohane and Durrus, 71 Protestant households, and 343 Protestant individuals; 681 Catholic households, and 3,555 Catholic individuals.
Kilcrohane, 234 Catholic households, and 1,282 Catholic individuals. Protestant numbers only available with Durrus.
Durrus, 447 Catholic households, and 2,273 Catholic individuals. One resident priest. Protestant numbers only available with Kilcrohane.
Kilmocomoge, 75 Protestant and 519 Catholic households, containing 299 Protestants and 3,253 Catholics. Two priests.
William Carrigan provides the following additional information, which, importantly, confirms that the census provided the names of householders (in bold italics, our emphasis):**
Kilmocomoge: ‘Standish Barry, priest; Denis Doly, coadjutor: and in the list of the householders in “Bantry town & suburbs” we find the name of “Standish Barry, Popish priest for this parish”’.
Durrus: ‘Timothy Crowly, living in Upper Coomkeen is “Popish priest for the parish of Durrus”’.
Kilcrohane: ‘No priest given’.
Census abstracts for the dioceses of Cork and Ross can be found in NAI PRIV/M/4921, pp 16-22. For clerical succession lists for Cork and Ross see W. Maziere Brady, Clerical and parochial records of Cork, Cloyne and Ross (3 vols, Dublin, 1863-4).

Introduction
This paper deals with the Anglo-Norman settlement in what may best be described as
mid-Cork, an area centring on Bandon town, and goes on to trace the descent of the
chief families of that settlement into the early 17 th century. It also features a study of
the O Mahony lords of Kinelmeaky and the O Murrays of Ballymodan.
