Mary, Baltimore townland is 615 acres in Co. Cork in the Barony of West Carbery, Civil Parish of Tullagh, Poor Law Union of Skibbereen, Province of Munster. There is also a Baltimore Town in the same area. Baltimore is 8 miles (18 km) SW of Skibbeern. It is a centuries old fishing village full of atmosphere. The tall, whitewashed "Beacon" offers fine view of the harbor and Skerkin Island across the bay, per my 1980s tourist guide. At that time there were regular passenger sailings to Clear Island, also boats to Hare Island and Long Island, also in Roaring Water Bay. Nearby Barley Cove has a magnificent sandy beach. Robert R. Matheson compiled a database of the occurrences of births (5 or more) in Ireland in 1890. There were a total of 136 O'Sullivan births that year, 6 in the Province of Connaught, 0 in the Province of Ulster, 8 in the Province of Leinster, and 122 in the Province of Munster (Kerry with the most, then Cork, followed by Limerick). ---- Original Message ----- From: "Mary E.
