1821 CENSUS (partial)
Uibh Laoire or Inchigeela Parish, Co. Cork, Ireland
Fr. Donnacha O Donoghue was curate in
Ballingeary Co. Cork in 1917. He was at that
time researching a book about the poet Maire
Bhúi Ní Laoire. He employed a genealogist in
Dublin to collect relevant material from the
public record offices. Ballingeary Cumann Staire
was lent his papers in the early 1990s by
Gobnait Creed of Inchigeela.
Thus we
have the following partial return of the 1821
census for around 18 of the townlands in
Inchigeela Parish.
The originals were destroyed in 1922
during the Irish Civil War.
The following
towlands are included (though not in this
order.)
Cappanclare
Carrigleigh (Inchigeela
Village)
Carrignacurra
Carrignaneelagh
(Carrigingelea) (He includes Kilbarry)
Coolmountain
Coomroe
Derreennacusha
(Gougane Barra is in this townland)
Dromanallig (Ballingeary Village)
Dromcarra
Droumcarra (North and South presumably)
Glasheen
Gortaneadin
Gortsmoorane
Inchibeg (Inchybeg)
Inchimore
Lagneeve
(Laghneave)
Milleen
Rossmore
Derrinargid (Derrinarigid) – This is probably
now Silvergrove
N.B. All houses in some townland are not included. It seems Fr. O'Donoghue had particular interest in some family lines.
We have changed the townland spelling to
the 1851 census spelling
