Harrisgrove where in county cork?

[Cog]

Hello Malc

firstly, many apologies for the delay in replying and thanks for taking the time to reply to my posting.

Unfortunately I dont have much at all on my Harris side. My GGgrandfather was born in Ringaskiddy.  His family were mainly in the Royal Navy.  Your reply has raised a question though, I always thought that my Harris's were catholic as he married a catholic, but what if he were protestant and converted, to marry my GGGrandmother !  I have been told that my Harris side originally came from Worcester/Gloucester area of England so this could make sense.

The only information I have on Harrisgrove is what is already posted.

Again sorry for the delay in replying

Hello

I'm sorry to resurrect an old thread. I've only recently made progress on this side of my family. Hopeully there is someone out there who will see this.

I have discovered a family connection to Cork, it is very complicated.

My gggrandfather John Sudlow (1794 1850) from Liverpool married three times.

1 1824 Catherine Martindale widow of Joseph Martindale. Catherine had two daughters Mary and Josephine when she married. Catherine died in 1838.

2 1839 Annie Hobbs of Cork, from whom I'm descended. Annie died in 1842.

3 1846 Hannah Paget of Cheshire. Amongst others they had a son Henry William Sudlow.

John Sudlow died in 1851.

Mary Martindale married William Hobbs of Cork , brother of Annie Hobbs.

Josephine Martindale married Richard Harris of Lakeview, Blackrock, Cork and they had a daughter Rachel Georgina Harris who maried Henry William Sudlow.

Phew, I told you it was complicated.

Where I tie into this thread is through the Harrises. I can trace the Harris line to Assolas via William Prittie Harris. I have also come across the name Wrixon but I can't give you the connection right now. Was the house at Assolas was leased from a Wrixon?

All these people were protestants and I have it in mind that the protestant community in Cork must have been quite small. They seem to intermarry quite a lot.

Regards

Hello

I think I may have linked up with your Harrises very remotely.

The link is as follows, I think

My indirect ancestor Richard Harris lived at Lakeview, Blackrock, Cork. His father was William Prittie Harris.

From the online catalogue of National Library of Ireland website:

Copy of confirmation of arms to the descendants of Richard Harris of Lisgriffin Castle, Co. Cork, and to his grandson, William Prittie Harris of Lakeview, Blackrock, Co. Cork,...

From a book by James Grove White 1903? In the chapter headed Lisgriffin Castle

The castle is on the farm of Mr. Patrick Frawley of Lisgrffin, who lives
in a house N.W. of the castle (1909). He is a brother of Mr. James
Frawley of Harris Grove (Farrancotter Townland) and of Mr. John Frawley
of Boanna, near oM Templemary Church. The present landlords (1909)
are Colonel C. L. Casey, late R.A.; A. E. C. Casey (Bengal C. S., retd.), and
their late sister's husband, S. Eardley-Wilmot, CLE., late Inspector-
General, Imperial Forest Service of India. It was purchased about 1857-59
by Mr. Casey (father of the above-mentioned) from the Annesleys of Annesgrove.
It is now being sold to the tenants under the Land Purchase Act of
1903.

So it looks like my Harrises came, at one time, from Lisgriffin Castle where, in the vicinity, is a place called Harris Grove.
