We are currently working on a summary of the Book entitled 'A Short Topographical and Statistical account of the Bandon Union' by W. Spillar 1844 as well as a summary of Townsends work entitled 'A statistical Survey of the County of Cork' 1815. Whilst these two works don't give us extensive details about individual families, they provide a very valuable insight into life in Bandon and the surrounding area in the two timeframes, namely 1815 and 1844. For example we learn from these two works that emigration around these dates was primarily due to the collapse of the weaving industry from 1826 onwards.
