Also the Devonshire Estate records (Lismore Castle Papers) are held at the National Library in Dublin. A searchable index is online at http://www.nli.ie/pdfs/mss%20lists/129_Lismore.pdf They cover much of the land around Bandon, Innishannon, Enniskeane etc and go back into the 1600s in places. I spent many hours last year researching in these papers for the Bandon area website (and myself!) and they are a fascinating treasure trove. Regards, Patsy - New Zealand.
