Listers:
I am looking for information about my GG Grandmother, ANN FLYNN and
the FLYNNs of or near Ballyandreen, Ballycotton.
Here is what I know about ANN FLYNN:
JOHANNA FLYNN appears in the records as ANN, JOHANNA and NANCY FLYNN
(FLINN and FLING)! She was born ±1830 and died after 1873. She was,
most likely, from Ballyandreen.
Does anyone know if there are Flynns still represented there?
There are three Flynn listings in Grifith's Valuation of County Cork
1851-1853:
Flynn Denis Ballycottin, Cloyne
Flynn John Ballybranagh, Cloyne
Flynn John Town of Cloyne, Spital Lane, Cloyne
ANN FLYNN married PATRICK DARGAN (DORGAN) of Carrigkilter,
Ballintemple in the early 1850s but I have been unable to find a
marriage record. Any suggestions?
ANN FLYNN is most likely buried in the ancestral Dorgan cemetery at
Ballymacoda Hill Cemetery, Shanagarry, East Cork.
There is a church baptismal record that Patrick and Nancy (synonym for
Ann and Johannah) Dorgan were the godparents of Michael John Shinnick
who was born December 18, 1873 in Ballycatoo, Midleton, Cloyne, County
Cork. He was baptized in St. Colman's Church, Cloyne on December 20,
1873. His parents were John Shinnick of Ballycatoo, East County Cork
and Elizabeth Dorgan of Ballybraher, Parish of Cloyne, East County
Cork. John Shinnick and Elizabeth Dorgan were married 20 FEB 1973 at
St. Colman's, Cloyne. Elizabeth Dorgan was the daughter of Patrick
Dargan and Ann (Nancy, Johanna) Flynn.
Here is what I know about PATRICK DARGAN (DORGAN)
Patrick is listed in the Valuation of Tenements 1855 in Carrigkilter,
Ballintemple (Churchtown South) as Patrick DARGAN. Maurice Cusack
leased the land in Carrigkilter before 1855 and Patrick DARGAN later
leased the same land about 1855. The landlord's name was Thomas Garde
Durdin. Thomas Garde Durdin would arrive in East Cork from England
each year to collect the rents. While in Cork he stayed at one of his
estates: Shanagarry "Castle" or Sunville House. Thomas Garde Durdin is
listed in Griffith's Valuation, June 1853 - Civil Parish of
Balliintemple, Barony of Imokilly as being the Landlord with an
Office, Land and Plantation.
In the 1855 Landlord Index of "County Cork Encumbered Estates" (Volume
4, FHL Film No. 25883), Thomas Garde Durdin, Esq. sold his land
holdings at auction on 19 June 1855. At the time he held the "Lands
of Killderrig, Carrigkilter, Coalvodig otherwise Sunviille,
Ballybraher West, Snugborough, Ballyronahan, Ballybraher East,
Ballinamona, and part of Shanagarry - 19 June 1855."
This is the date that Patrick Dargan "bought" his farm ... a farm that
he had formerly "leased" from Thomas Garde Durdin. This is the first
recorded DARGAN (DORGAN) "deed of sale" since the English Reformation
of the late 1500s. I have a copy of this deed from the Dublin Archives.
I would appreciate any thoughts, hints, suggestions or comments.
Thanks for your time,
BILL DORGAN
