  • 5/1 Chapter 5 the SOUTH-WEST Counties East, South and North-West CORK -- KERRY -- West LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island T
    Chapter 5 THE SOUTH-WEST counties East, south and north-west CORK -- KERRY -- west LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, visitors to Ireland from Britain and the Continent were appalled at the poverty of its people, and wondered at this because so much of the land was fertile. There were many reasons for the destitution, so many that Frank O'Connor neatly sidesteps them -- but he is in little doubt of the main reason: ignorance of the true condition of Ireland, on the part of its distant government, because of the difficulties involved in visiting it [1] : Books about a country usually begin with its history. Books about Ireland which do this tend to remain unread. The misunderstandings are too many... Ultimately, perhaps, all the misunderstandings can be traced to sixty miles of salt water which stretches between Britain and Ireland. O'Connor was writing in the 1940s. Mr & Mrs Hall begin their vast, chatty, obsequious (to the English reader) but well-intentioned three-volume Ireland , a hundred years earlier (1841), with a long description of the purgatory of a pre-steam crossing to Cork. They agree with O'Connor [2] : It was not alone the miserable paucity of accommodation and utter indifference to the comfort of the passengers, that made the voyage an intolerable evil. Though it usually occupied but three or four days, frequently as many weeks were expended in making it. It was once our lot to pass a month between the ports of Bristol and Cork; putting back, every now and then, to the wretched village of Pill, and not daring to leave it even for an hour, lest the wind should change and the packet weigh anchor..

  • The Parish Register and Family History Collections of the Late Michael Leader
    THE PARISH REGISTER AND FAMILY HISTORY COLLECTIONS OF THE LATE MICHAEL LEADER by Mary Casteleyn When Michael Leader, of 119 Warwick Way, London, a former Vice-President of the Irish Genealogical Research Society, died unexpectedly in 1998, the Leader family offered this Society his genealogical papers. Michael had worked, for most of his life, on transcribing the Church of Ireland parish records for County Cork. He specialised in genealogies of County Cork families, and these families were his main interest during a long and industrious life. His papers and records were stored over four floors of his house in London, and constitute a major collection of County Cork material. The collection also includes Methodist, Presbyterian and Quaker registers. We are indebted, indeed, to the Leader family for this very generous and valuable collection. Michael Leader wrote about his work in an article entitled “Transcripts of County Cork Parish Registers” in The Irish Genealogists Vol. 3, No. 5, 1960. THE PARISH REGISTER COLLECTIONS The list of parish registers mainly covers County Cork but occasionally strays outside the Cork boundaries as, for example, when a diocesan boundary extends into another county. The dioceses are listed in alphabetical order. It must be emphasized that the listing is not intended to be a definitive list of what exists for each parish; this is a list of registers which were transcribed at some time between the 1950s and the 1990s. A few registers or parts of registers still remain in notebook and shorthand form although a programme of typing these is in hand. The shorthand notebooks can be difficult to read.
