Hi Dave - I've just accidentally deleted the list of Bandon and area BMDs that you posted. If it's not too much trouble, could you please repost. With thanks, Karen

Thank you, Dave, for the further information on the Bandon and area BMDs. You and other members of the Irish rootsweb groups have given me so much information, my head is spinning. What fun lies ahead, eh! Karen

There is a computerisation project underway for these records (and, yes, I'd rather have digitisation!). It is coordinated by Commander Cosbie who lives in Cobh, County Cork. I'm not sure where his project is up to but his contact details are: The Director Cobh Genealogical Project, Merville, Cobh, Co Cork mervillecobh@eircom.net The RCB Library in Dublin holds a large number of parish records but does not undertake research and probably does not have the resources to digitise even a fraction of them. Many are also on microfilm at the National Archives, Dublin.

Hi, I'm still searching for my Dalton roots. I would appreciate any information on early Cork Daltons, ie 1700s and 1800s. Thanks, Velma Dalton Boudreau

Thanks Karen, There are quite a few Stanley records on Kate Press' website (searchable--I got 24 hits for Stanley): http://home.alphalink.com.au/~datatree/index.htm Also check Margaret Grogan's site--only 6 Stanley hits there: http://myhome.ispdr.net.au/~mgrogan/cork/ire.cork.htm Ginni Swanton has a lot of Cork records. A search only finds 2 for Stanley, but it doesn't pick up scanned material. However, she has scanned images of all of Bennett's 1862 book, "The History of Bandon." http://www.ginnisw.com/corkmain.html And the fourth of my favourite sources for Cork records is Paul Turner's site: http://www.paulturner.ca/Global/irelandinfo.htm Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Fraser" <kmfraser@pacificcoast.net> To: <countycork@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 2:13 PM Subject: Re: [CO CORK] Stanley: early marriage/baptism records > Sharon, thank you so much for all that information.

Sharon, thank you so much for all that information. You've done a terrific job transcribing all those records while you were in Cork. Karen Fraser Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

Dave, Thanks for the information and the link. The big problem appears to be how to access these records. It sounds like a great project for digitalization... Cliff.

Hi again Karen, Quite a number of C of I parish registers dating back before 1800 have survived, including those from Bandon and surrounding area. I have been through the Kilbrogan and Ballymodan registers. Kilbrogan begins in 1752, where I found the following baptism record naming Wm Stanley as a sponsor: John Sealy and Abigail 24 Oct 1756 George sp: Joseph Cooms, William Dooly, Mary Sealy 2? Jan 1760 Joseph sp: William Stanley, Richard Sealy, Kathrine Howse [mother of Joseph was not named] Marriages (1st one both were Stanleys): 26 Dec 1764 James Stanley and Sus. Stanley 6 Oct 1769 Thomas Woods and Ann Stanley Ballymodan goes back even further--to 1694--here's another for Wm Stanley: 25 Jul 1759 William STANLEY married Mary BURCHILL I also noted that there were a number of other Stanley records in the early Ballymodan registers that I did not record. I think it would be well worth your while to find someone who could access these records for you--I found these registers at the RCBL in Dublin. I know there is currently a project underway in Cork to get the C of I records online and make them available to the public, for a fee. Right now I can't put my hands on the specific info, but someone else may have the link. You can search the records I copied from the Bandon area registers as I submitted them to a rootsweb email list in 2003--here is a link to that list: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search?path=CAN-CHALEUR-BAY-IRISH When I searched for Stanley just now, I got 20 hits (but many of them won't be of much use).

Thank you, Dave, for the STANLEY information. I've spent a good part of my morning looking at the web sites you also sent. In looking at the Griffiths Valuation, the STANLEY name is certainly widespread, however, my ancestor, William STANLEY, on the 1871 Census for Wigan, England, gave Cork as his place of birth and as there isn't any apparent reason for him to have lied, and the STANLEYS of Cork are from the Bandon area, I'm inclined to believe that my Francis and family were from that area. William STANLEY was married in 1839 at age 19 and named his father as Francis, weaver. William signed his name. I found William, Ellen and their son, Thomas, age 1, living with Francis and Amelia STANLEY on the 1841 Wigan, England census. Francis, Amelia and William were born Ireland. Other children were named Margaret, Mary, Emma, Sarah, Charlotte, David, Ellen and Jane. Francis STANLEY was married in 1836. In 1841, Francis, age 25, weaver, born Ireland, and Mary had two daughters, Susan, age 2 and Amelia, age 8 months. Other children were named Isabella, Alice, Mary Ann and Francis, Margaret and Elizabeth. David STANLEY was married in 1834. David and Ann baptised a daughter, Susanna, in 1835. One record that was kindly sent to me is for the baptism in 1817 of William STANLEY, son of Francis and Susan STANLEY. I'd like to believe this could be my William, however, according to his age at marriage he would have been born in 1820 and census records and his death record indicate a birth date of between 1821-1823. Does anyone know the whereabouts of any records for the mid to late 1700s and early 1800s? I'd like to find a marriage record for Francis and Susan STANLEY and also for Francis and Amelia STANLEY. I also wonder if there is a burial record for Susan. Is the Irish naming pattern the same as the English? Could William's first born son, Thomas, be named after his grandfather? Again, I'm asking too many questions but any further help would be appreciated. Thanks again, Dave. Is it possible we have a connection? Karen Fraser Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

Hello, Karen -- I have the following STANLEY family record among my McCABE and SEARLS ancestors from the Bandon area: Francis McCABE (1848-1925), farmer and baker, Derry Castle, son of Isaac McCABE, farmer and schoolmaster and Catherine JONES married Elizabeth STANLEY (1849-1918), daughter of Francis STANLEY, farmer of Knockaneady, Ballymoney Parish on July 2, 1874 at Desertserges (west of Bandon). I've also come across the following STANLEY marriage record: William STANLEY and Mary BURCHIL on July 26, 1759 at Ballymodan, Bandon. Here are some STANLEY burial records at Ballymodan, Bandon: May 31, 1719 ___________ son of Edw Stanly Oct. 26, 1720 James son of Edward Stanly Jan 24, 1725 Susanna dau of Edw: Stanley Jan. 3, 1732 Mary dau of Thomas Stanley May 31, 1733 Elizabeth dau of Edward Stanley July 28, 1735 Edward April 5, 1739 Antonio of Thoms Stanley Feb. 25, 1741 Mary wife of Thos Stanly Apr. 8, 1743 John son of widow Stanley You may find more at the Bandon and Kilbrogan registers or at this link to some Ballymoney Parish registers: http://www.paulturner.ca/Ireland/Cork/Ballymoney%20Parish/bp-text-9.htm Other links to area information: http://www.bandon-genealogy.com/index.htm http://www.genealogylinks.net/uk/ireland/cork/ http://myhome.ispdr.net.au/~mgrogan/cork/ballyneen_surname.htm (includes STANLEY death records) http://www.ginnisw.com/Confirmation%20Records/Scully%20to%20White.html (includes STANLEY confirmation records) http://www.failteromhat.com/guy/kinsale.htm (includes STANLEY resident) http://books.google.com/books?id=8b4eREmqNj0C&pg=PA60&lpg=PA60&dq=ballymoney +parish+county+cork&source=bl&ots=tvfi-bsvHQ&sig=_ltw7oyC7ubH7NNM9UZ1yyfpPp4 &hl=en&ei=Kw9fS63mHsyUtgeYmuzqCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved =0CB8Q6AEwCTgU#v=onepage&q=stanley&f=false http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/townlands/index.cfm?fuseaction=Town landsInCivil&civilparishid=221&civilparish=Ballymoney&citycounty=Cork Hope this helps.

Hello everyone, I'm new to Irish research and have a lot to learn. My gggrandfather, William STANLEY, gave his birth place as Cork (no clarification of whether it was the City or County) on the 1871 Census, Wigan, Lancashire, England. On his marriage certificate in 1839, William gave his age as 19 so he was born about 1820 and he named his father as Francis STANLEY. In 1841, William & Ellen and their son, Thomas, age 1, lived with Francis STANLEY, age 75, weaver and his wife, Amelia, age 70, both born Ireland. Besides William, Francis had a son, Francis, born about 1816 in Ireland and married in Wigan in 1836. I believe he also had a son, David, born about 1813, married in Wigan in 1834, so the family left Ireland by the early 1830s. William named his only surviving son, David. Quite by accident, I've come across some Ballymoney and Bandon parish records and found STANLEYS with the forenames Francis, David and William and decided it might be a good place to start my search. Does anyone know where I might find earlier records? William and David, I know would be very common names but is Francis also a common name? I would appreciate any help or suggestions on where or how to start my research. Karen Fraser Vancouver Island, BC

The IGI extracts may have been from parish records. A google search for Church of Ireland parish records listed several links for sources besides the below: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy/church.html http://www.ireland.anglican.org/index.php?do=information.dioceses&page=diocese&id=70 http://cork.anglican.org/ http://www.ireland.anglican.org/index.php?do=information.dioceses&page=showparish&id=16200 unless I've missed something, the LDS does not seem to give any film numbers for C of I parish records. (Could someone correct me on this?) "Tracing Your Cork Ancestors" McCarthy & Cadogan says: Rathcooney: baps. 1750-1897, mar. 1749-1954, deaths 1750-1853, and lists RCB as the source. Some of the other Google links may have more information. Mac. Berkeley, Calif.

This is probably clutching at straws in trying to get through a brick wall with my GGGrandfather, Howard Gillman Daunt born c 1810 / 1811 and whose father was John Daunt. Howard married and died in South Dublin, but may have come from Cork. I have found an IGI Individual Record that says: John Daunt birth 1772 Cork married Harriet Danckert 1792 Cork Ireland. Harriet Danckert born c1776 Rathcooney, Cork. My extra excuse for clutching at this straw is that Howard named one of his daughters Harriet. Does anyone know anything about either of these individuals? Or, does anyone know of a Danckert - Gillman connection, as my line kept the Gillman as a middle name as a tradition. I know of a couple of Daunt Gillman connections, but these don't seem to have John Daunt in the loop. And does anyone know if there's anyway of getting more info on these individual IGI records? I did say I was clutching at straws. Thank you Caroline
