In Mary Driscoll story about her homeplace she says that a couple over 70 then in 1937 have stories in Irish and English, Mr and Mrs. Sam Kingston. They are probably the grand parents of Letia Camier who with her husband Tommy runs the Folk Museum in the same townland.

Lawn Tennis Lining Machine by Robert Day and Sons Cork in Gortnagrough Folk Museum, Ballydehob, Co. Cork.

Mr and Mrs Camier have been collecting items of local interest for the last 60 years. Their museum is located in Gortnagrough to the north of Ballydehob.

The plate on the machine indicates Day and Sons. It may be that it was made by some other firm and that they were the vendors. The firm appears variously as harness makers and fancy leather goods at Bowling Green Street, Cork.

The Cork Antiquarian Robert Day may be connected to the firm.

Schull East Church of Ireland Births 1828-1873

Skull/Schull East (Scoil Mhuire), West Cork, Church of Ireland, Baptisms, 1828-1849.

From microfilm National Archives, Church of Ireland Records Box 25 (other Cork records Cove, Fermoy, St. Peters and St. Annes Cork among others).

Catholic records are online irishgenealogy.ie
There are a considerable amount of Methodist Records which may be in Bandon or the Belfast Archives.

In due course this will be updated and transcribed.

It might be noted that pre Famine 1847, the costal area of West Cork and Caheragh had a population density (excluding mountain,lakes and bogs) equalling that of China Haiti and India. The Protestant population was not quite as poor as the Catholic but there are numerous labourers and small holders on a scale not seen in Ireland outside Northern Counties. Looking at the surnames the origins are diverse largely English in origin but with Huguenot, Scottish and native Irish (Gaelic and Norman) all intermixed over the years by marriage.  Many of those in the Register later emigrated either as individuals or with their family to the USA or Canada.
