Harrisgrove where in county cork?

[Cog]

searching for Harris members of my family in county cork, I have come across a place called Harrisgrove, County Cork (during late 1700's early 1800's) does anyone have any idea where this place is, or have they ever heard of it?  Any information would be grateful - could it be that my Harris's owned their own Grove???

Carol:
Harrisgrove was a townland in the Parish of Inchinabacky, Barony of Barrymore.

From Lewis:

"INCHINABACKY, or ROXBOROUGH, a parish, in the barony of BARRYMORE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 3 miles (N. W.) from Castlemartyr, on the road from Midleton to Youghal; containing 515 inhabitants. This parish comprises 1460 acres; the soil of the southern part is very fertile, forming part of the limestone district; towards the north the substratum is a yellow clay, but from the abundance of limestone has been rendered moderately productive."

And here is a mention of Harris of Harrisgrove so I guess your Harris did have an estate or something there.

1 / 2 June 1764.  Henry Wrixon of Ballygibbon, Co. Cork did let to Thomas Harris of Harisgrove, Co. Cork all that & those plowlands of Gurrane MacGarrett containing 196 acres in B. of Duhallow. To hold during the natural lives of Charles Bastable & George Bastable sons of John Bastable now in Rockfield, Co. Cork & John Wrixon present major of Cork. L.117.19.3 yearly rent. Wit: Henry Lysaght of Cork, Willam Harris of Harrisgrove & William Bowan Webb of Mallow.  rEg. 18 Jan. 1764.  John Webb, dep. Reg.

I believe that Midletown is nearby so you might enjoy this site.

Hi Carol:
Glad to be of help. As to how I find them, creative googling plus a warped thought process. 

Let me know if I can help more.

Hi Pat

Thanks very much I am sure to have more questions, and it is great to know someone out there cares!!!!

Am going to try some of that "creative" googling myself, truth be known I have already, obviously not quite creative enough yet! comes with experience and practice no doubt.

Thanks again - off for a google!!

And Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too!
The googling is only part of it now. Remember the warped thought processing. Maybe that is what they call experience, hmmm.

Hello

I am also descended from Harrises in Cork, and related familes in Kerry.

These are the names I am researching:

HARRIS - BASTABLE - WRIXON - FENTON - DUCKETT - MAYBERRY/MAYBURY

Specifically, I am looking for information on these Harrises:

Dr Richard Harris, c1745 who migrated to Clonmel, Tipperary and listed in 1794 Tipperary Militia as the surgeon.  Married Mary Fenton and had Richard, Henry, John, James, Anthony, Samuel, William, Mary, Ally, Bess and Harriett.  The sons in this family were all in volunteer militia in preparation for French invasion which never happened.  Eldest son Lieutenant Richard Harris married Mary-Ann Duckett, daughter of Thomas Duckett and Mary Mayberry from Kerry.

Youngest brother of Dr Richard Harris called Dr Thomas Harris, listed as the surgeon in the 1782 Cork Cavalry volunteer militia.  Married and had Catherine Harris who married Sir David Perrier the Mayor and Alderman of Cork.

Anthony Harris who married Susanna Wrixon on 20 Sep 1771 at Ballindie Church, Cork.  Don't know if this Anthony is related to the above families.

Some of the Harrises in my family have a forename of BASTABLE or a middle name of BASTABLE and I am still looking for the Harris-Bastable link.

Can you please post all the information you have on Harrises in Cork, especially BATHVIEW, MALLOW, ASSOLAS HOUSE, CASTLE MAGNER/MAGNOR, KANTURK, YOUGHAL, MIDLETON.  These are the placenames which keep appearing on google for these protestant families in Cork.

I am curious about this place Harrisgrove and its history.
