Patrick Hewitt, who is responsible for the registers for the parishes of
Dunmanway, Drimoleague, Drinagh and Coolkelure. I was searching for Richard

and said that the only parish with dates going back that far was
Drimoleague, to the west of Dunmanway. Patrick Hewitt's email is
Maybe he could be of assistance to others. I am
