Between 1981 and 1990 I made notes immediately after speaking to various Co Cork people about my Cork ancestry. I now wish to make those notes available to anyone interested. Any clarification comments added at this stage are in square brackets. I would welcome any questions or comments.

Notes from conversation on 29 Jan 1981
- William Dukelow [his great grandfather] built the house lived in by the present Dukelows. The half on the left (pink) was built first, then another piece was added for his son William when he got married; that part has now passed to the McCarthys.
- William Dukelow had previously lived in a house, now totally disappeared, behind the present house.
- No knowledge of William Dukelow being wealthy; he was apparently in danger of being evicted and built the outhouse (at right angles to the house) in order to appear more industrious – built in front of the house so that it could be seen.
- William Dukelow fell off his horse, returning from Durrus races. The horse returned alone. His body was washed away and not found for a couple of days.

Notes from conversation on 7 May 1989
- She was recently told by Mrs Roberts of St Luke’s [Home] that the Peter Dukelow who lived briefly, before going to Droumreagh, was William of Brahalish’s first cousin.
- Having been written-to in advance [with the suggestion], Mrs Roberts stated that William Dukelow’s mother was Williamson.
- Richard and Ursulla Dukelow of Crottees were first-cousins - as both had father’s called Charles, this must be through their mothers. Ursulla’s mother was definitely Williamson.
- Ritchie Dukelow (late of Crottees) was reputed to be the product of three pairs of married cousins.
