This book talks of Huguenots émigrés coming to Youghal. Then it says "The Corporation being entirely Protestant, welcomed them with open arms". What is the Corporation? Also reference is made to the census of 1659. I was not aware of any such early census.

Repeating the inquiry: "This book talks of Huguenots émigrés coming to Youghal. Then it says 'The Corporation being entirely Protestant, welcomed them with open arms.' What is the Corporation? Also reference is made to the census of 1659. I was not aware of any such early census." My reply-- "The Corporation" is likely a reference to the municipal corporation of Youghal. I have seen a similar term used for Ennis, a city in Co. Clare. As for the 1659 census, you can Google for that. I believe it is available on Ancestry.com or a similar service.
