Pam It should be fairly easy to check yourself if you have an LDS Mormon Library (FHC) near you. You can then get the film of the Ffolliott indexes which indexes all (or most of) the Cork newspapers through the 18th and 19th century, including bankruptcies. To get the address of a FHC near you and to search their catalogue look at their website: http://www.familysearch.com/ search the Family History Library Catalogue: Location: Cork, category: Newspapers Kae Lewis
