A new book
Terrys of Cork 1600-2000
a local historical perspective
Just Published, a limited edition.
This book, available now in selected bookshops, looks at an old Cork family name, Terry, with particular reference to settlement patterns of Terrys in the City, and the Baronies of Barrymore, Cork, and Imokilly, between 1600 and 2000. Kevin Terry wrote the book, with a number of other contributors also. This area was selected after preliminary examination found that there are instances of close and interchangeable links between urban and rural settlements of Terrys within this area. It also examines Terrys who emigrated from Cork and settled in a number of other countries. These include France, Spain, England, Australia and the United States. The surname Terry is not a very common name in Ireland; its highest incidence is in Cork. It is of Norman origin and, in former times, Terry families played a significant part in the affairs of Cork City, the only urban settlement where they were prominent, serving as Mayor no less than twenty-two times. They also produced two bishops of the city in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The book seeks to establish some of the political, social, and economic reasons for the changes in incidence, distribution and dispersion of the surname over the period. The book looks at the incidence and distribution of Terrys at intervals, about fifty years apart, between 1600 and 2000. It identifies settlement location and numbers of families over the period.
