I appreciated Candi's comments on my message about possible mistakes in Dr Casey's work. Through the very kind efforts of another Cork rootsweb list member, who looked up Casey's Vol 11 for me, I have now discovered the mistake was mine. In the many notes I made in Canberra, I evidently copied a heading from one part of the volume and included notes under it from another part. I do agree with Candi that mistakes are sometimes made by others, also, in making transcripts. I am still trying to find, among my many papers, a copy of the comments made by Rosemary Ffoilliot about Casey's work having many inaccuracies in it. When I do, I will post it to this list.

When I asked the librarian at the Sydney State library about Vol 11 (because the page order in that volume is eccentric!), I was told that it was full of errors and dubious pedigrees and was I sure I wanted to use it? She was just giving an opinion of course. I can imagine it would be easy to make mistakes in transcripts because the heading for whatever section your name is in can be many pages back and hard to find. I came close to forgetting to note it a few times.
