Carol and Patsy, === Do we already know about this site from Trinity College? Its about a rebellion in 1641, that i have to admit know anothing about--- yet:) http://tinyurl.com/5t2mfk3 === It's interesting to see this website, as I have recently received an interlibrary loan (from Oregon, no less - a distance record for me) of Mary Hickson's 1884 two-volume set, "Ireland in the Seventeenth Century or The Irish Masscres of 1641-2". This book is the first reference listed on the above Trinity College website, under the section on "About" and then "further reading". The Hickson book might be useful as an adjunct to the Trinity College site, if it contains the desired deposition(s). The book has far-fewer depositions (only about 205 or so), but it includes additional information, such as some Records of the High Court of Justice, from 1652-4, and many addenda sections relating to various plantations, letters, misc. documents...... over 150 pages of these. Additionally, the depositions in the book have occasional placename-spelling variations when compared with the website, and the book includes notes and comments on most of the depostions - which don't appear in the Trinity College website. It might be worth your while to take a look at this book, if you're interested in the depositions. I don't know just how available this book is......you'd probably have to search www.worldCat.org for libraries near you, or check nearby academic libraries.

Thanks Pete - I hadn't heard of this one. I am trawling physically through the Cork depositions (1900+ of them - I'm about two thirds through) and found many placename variations. Also name spelling variations - a challenge for researchers!! In addition, there are names there which do not come up on the search function, so the trawl could be worthwhile, expecially if you are interested in a county with less depostions than Cork. But what a resource - stunning.
