  • Intermarriage and Other Families This Page Shows the Interconnection
    Intermarriage and Other Families This page shows the interconnection between the Townsend/Townshend family and some of the thirty-five families with whom there were several marriages between 1700 and 1900. It also gives a brief historical background about those families. Names shown in italics indicate that the family shown is connected with the Townsend/Townshend elsewhere. Baldwin The Baldwin family in Co Cork traces its origins to William Baldwin who was a ranger in the royal forests in Shropshire. He married Elinor, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert of Powys and went to Ireland in the late 16th century. His two sons settled in the Bandon area; the eldest brother, Walter, acquired land at Curravordy (Mount Pleasant) and Garrancoonig (Mossgrove) and the youngest, Thomas, purchased land at Lisnagat (Lissarda) adjacent to Curravordy. Walter’s son, also called Walter, was a Cromwellian soldier and it is through his son Herbert that the Baldwin family in Co Cork derives.

On behalf of us all I extend sympathy, not only to the loved ones of all those who have died of COVID-19, but also to everyone who has been bereaved during this pandemic. Not being able to give loved ones the funeral we would really want to give them is one of the most heart-breaking aspects of the current times. Much in my prayers and yours, have been those who are ill with COVID-19 and all others whose other illnesses have been compounded by the strictures of these times. In a different way, Leaving Certificate students and their families have been much in my thoughts and prayers.

Cork. OVERALL DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH Timoleague is an attractive village, with its colourful houses stepping up the hillside and marvellous ruined abbey. The adjudicator noticed many improvements since last visiting the village. Your three to five year work programme, formulated as it was in February 1999 is now half way through and you seem to have successfully achieved many of the objectives you set yourselves. Maybe for next year’s competition you could set a timescale against these projects. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Many of the buildings of the village appeared extremely bright, fresh and colourful. The charming centrally located Catholic Church looked most attractive, especially the side entrance area off Chapel Hill. The railings to the main entrance on Main Street will perhaps need to be painted up before next year’s competition. The Church of Ireland and grounds looked extremely well maintained. The National School looked extremely fresh but some weeding was necessary to its playground area. The public toilets adjacent to the Abbey looked fine as did the Community Centre. Pad Joe’s looked most attractive in pink with blue trims and its abundant window boxes.

Most of the references however relate to a range of smaller settlements and locations for which there are no new zoning specific objectives in this plan. The governing provision for these areas is objective ZON 1-4 in Chapter 9 of this volume. It states as follows: “Where lands out- side the main settlements were zoned in the 1996 County Development Plan (or in subsequent variations to that plan), the specific zoning objectives for such lands, until such time as the appropriate Local Area Plan has been adopted, shall be those set out in the 1996 County Development Plan (as varied), subject to such objectives being consistent with the overall strategy and general objectives of this plan. The table shows the relevant page number and volume from the 1996 County Development Plan where the relevant basic zoning map can be found, together with a reference (where appropriate) to any subsequent zoning variations that were made for that settlement / location. 2003 County 1996 County Development Plan Development Plan Zoning Map No. Issue No. Zoning Map Relevant variation(s) A Aghabullogue South Cork vol Page 281 Aghada Zoning Map 30 Issue 1 Ahakista West Cork vol Page 112 Aherla South Cork vol Page 256 Allihies West Cork vol Page 124 Ardarostig (Bishopstown) Zoning Map 12 Issue 1 Ardfield West Cork vol Page 46 Ardgroom West Cork vol Page 126 Ardnageehy Beg (Bantry) West Cork vol Page 112 B Ballinadee South Cork vol Page 230 CORK County Development Plan Issue 1: February 2003 2003 221 Appendix B.
