Glascott family History
http://www.ocotilloroad.com/geneal/glascott1.html
nne Beata (Glascott) O’Donnavan
Birth: 19 May 1832, at 17 Leeson Street, Dublin, county Dublin, Ireland
Father: John Glascott
Mother: Mary (Donovan) Glascott
Married: William John (Donovan) O’Donnavan on 10 October 1872, in New Ross district, county Wexford, Ireland
William was Anne’s first cousin. He was born on 9 June 1832, the son of William Donovan and Elizabeth Dallas. William Donovan, of Tomnalosset, was the son of Richard Donovan and Anne Richards, and the brother of Anne’s mother, Mary (Donovan) Glascott. William was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, graduating B.A. in 1855, LL.B in 1859 (both in the name William John Donovan) and LL.D. in 1860 in the name William John O’Donnavan. He was a Member of the Royal Irish Academy, elected on 8 May 1865 (Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy vol 9 p224)and the Royal Dublin Society, elected in 1874 (Kerry cattle herd book p48). William’s name change from his father’s Donovan was deliberate, and presumably occurred between 1859, when William was awarded the degree of LL.B. in the name of Donovan and 1860 when he graduated LL.D. in the name O’Donnavan.
The Topographical Poems of John O’Dubhagain and Giolla-na-naomh O’Huidhrin p40 (A. Thom, 1862):
Morgan William O’Donovan, Esq., of Montpelier, in the county of Cork, has not only re-assumed the O’, which his ancestors had rejected for many generations, but has styled himself “the O’Donovan,” chief of his name, being the next of kin to the last acknowledged head of that family, the late General Richard O’Donovan, of Bawnlahan, whose family became extinct in the year 1841. His example in resuming the O’ has been followed by Timothy O’Donovan, Esq., of O’Donovan’s Cove, in the county of Cork, head of a very ancient sept of the same family, and by William John O’Donnavan, a junior member of the Wexford Clan-Donovan.

The article in now available online: 1845-7
These records were transcribed in 1946 by T. Shea and published in the 1946 issue of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society.
It was based on the record lent to him by William Daunt of Deriga House, Ballineen. His uncle Mr. Daunt was secretary of the Society and presumable maintained the records including the townland of the member.
Landlords have enjoyed a bad press in Ireland,. However n West Cork, some and their agent were anxious to promote modern agriculture, new crops, selective breeding, instructors. The various Agricultural Societies normally have a large Landlord representation.
Manch
Conner, possibly not a member but gave speeches. The Conners/Connor/O’Connors were agents for the Devonshire Estate but dismissed for alleged malpractice in granting favourable leases to relations. The family may be a scion of the ancient irish O’Conor family or London merchants Conner. Over the years individuals were involved in civil affairs some loyalist some nationalist. The line survives through the Fawcetts

I had been aware of George Victor Du Noyer’s antiquarian drawings from my days as a student, but that did not prepare me for the Du Noyer exhibition currently running at the Crawford – it’s nothing short of breathtaking. Du Noyer, it turns out, was far far more than an antiquarian: he was a nineteenth century Renaissance man, artistic, talented, curious, scientific and learned in equal proportions. Stones, Slabs and Seascapes is curated by Peter Murray (recently retired director of the Crawford) and co-curated by Petra Coffey of the Geological Survey. If you do nothing else this winter, get to Cork to see this exhibition!
I’ve decided to annotate the images with quotes in italics (image follows quote) from the outstanding exhibition catalogue which is a collection of essays, each written from a slightly different perspective. I’ve tried to show representative samples of Du Noyer’s work, mostly from the exhibition…
