Additional sources

[edit]

Found this, with a bunch of historical information worth incorporating:

  • Lewis, Samuel (1837). "Cahirconlish". A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland. London: S. Lewis & Co. – via LibraryIreland.

This seems largely the basis of The Cork Examiner article below.

Probably also listed in the following with some details, but I'm having trouble finding a free copy of vol. 1:

  • Cassell's Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland. London/Paris/New York/Melbourne: Cassell & Co. 1899–1900.

Same with this; it is probably in vol. 2 or 3:

  • Hamilton, N. E. S. A. (1899) [1868]. The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland, or Topographical Dictionary of the British Isles. London/New York: James S. Virtue.

Listed with considerable detail here:

Also listled here, with the considerably differing borders of the town, townland, and civil parish shown clearly:

  • "Search 'Caherconlish'". Placenames Database of Ireland. Government of Ireland, Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. 2023.

Probably also in this, but it's not available online:

  • Ó Murchadha, Diarmuid; Murray, Kevin; Ó Riain, Pádraig (2003). Historical Dictionary of Gaelic Placenames / Foclóir Stairiúil Áitainmneacha na Gaeilge. Vol. 3: C – Ceall Fhursa. Irish Texts Society. ISBN 1870166728.

Newspaper article with a lot on the early history of the town:

This was obviously drawing on a bunch of local-to-national history sources in addition to Lewis (above), but it's unclear what they might be. This newspaper piece has details not found in the Lewis piece.

  • The above was found here, with additional materials that provide other (older) spellings of this placename in Irish and anglicized: "Cathair Chinn Lis". Placenames Database of Ireland. 2023. "Archival Records".
