I did a search of Kilcatherine parish found a site where they show it is now called Eyeries Parish, it listed all the different parishe and the names they were changed to where applicable. No wonder everything is so hard to find. Parts of Allihies are different at different times also. they also show Allihies and Kilcatherine parishs as county Kerry. parishes west of Bantry (Kimocomogue) are given as Cellechdach,(Killough or Killeacac), Cellmana,(Allihies or Kilmanagh, Cellchattigern(Kilcatherine) and Cellmoceogain (Kilmackkowen) I found out from a living decendant in Kealanine, Ireland that that is the current english name for Caol An Eidhin, Coomhola Bridge, outside Bantry, Cork, Ireland. Coomhola Bridge is just a bridge at the base of Coomhola mountain. but it is Coomhola church This small mind may burst before I figure out where to look for what, although I probably sound like it already did.
