Thanks Summerhill!  I think Darby was Jeremiah... too many co-incidences.  But I know I should have real proof before adding a name to the family tree. :)  Great to know where Carrigbyrne is too.  Now that the whole of Ireland has been added to Google Maps 'Street View'  - I'll be able to take a stroll in Carrigbyrne later this evening. 
Thanks!  Clarissabell  :)

Don't be thrown by Carrigbyrne.  It was a Registration (sub) District, so lots of people have it on their civil registration.  It doesn't mean they were born there.
Chapman, Jackman, Roche, Whelan, Hanton, Dee, Stafford, Leary, McGrath, Murphy, White, Hayes, Shudall.

"Irish Names for Children" Patrick Woulfe (1923)

Diarmaid/Dermot (Jeremiah, Jerome, Darby ..etc)
"generally angicised Jeremiah"

and in the 1920s, when this book was published, there was encouragement to christen children with more Gaelic names.

So some little Dermots were called after their grandads Jeremiah/Darby.

Hi

If you look at the 1901 Census there are Freeman's living in Templescoby The Leap this is more or less the area you need it is all Courtnacuddy.
There is a John Freeman age 34
His wife Margaret age 30 and 3 children  Jeremiah age 6, George age 4 and John who was a baby
There are a few Freeman families in this area
If you look at Carrickbyrne there are McGraths

Hope this helps

Ronnie

Thank Ronnie - yes that looks like them all right.  Cortnacuddy you say... that is great to know! 
I will have a look for the McGraths too - brilliant :)
