Visit to Clonakilty

Are there a lot of farms in the Clonakilty area or would it be easy to track down which one used to Richmond Farm and has been renamed or indeed has quite possibly been sold off for building land?

Hi Sue,

I presume that Richmond farm is where Patrick Nagle in Griffiths lived. It is plot reference 2 a b on the map, Rathbarry School House is reference 5, Kilkerin House is to the left of the school, so you have reference points to work on.

What you do then is go to Google maps and type in Kilkerin or Rathbarry and you can see todays view of what is there, it is a beautifull part of the country, Kilkerin House or Ruins must be still there, the house was on Kilkerin lake.

PS if you go back to PN's record in Griffiths on the far right you will find the map link

Hi Sue….

I know I'm about 10 years late to this discussion, which is kind of nuts.  The Nagles you are looking for lived at the Red Strand, Ardfield, Clonakilty.  I'm 36 years of age, and for the last 12 years of my life have searched for my best friend that went missing in 2007 in France, Richard Nagle.  This is how I just stumbled across your search.  Every few months, I spend a day or so seeing if I can find him.  I believe the Nagles of Ardfield you are looking for would be this family.  I can't recall the name of Richard's mother, father, brother, or sister (who last time I heard was a Psychologist in the US).  So much time has past that their name's escape me.  His uncle was named Vivian Nagle, who passed 4 years ago https://rip.ie/death-notice/vivian-nagle-clonakilty-cork/237625.  He was a well-respected teacher in the town of Clonakilty.  Right now it's one of those days I've shed a tear at that thought of Richard, and have spent a couple of hours again trying to find him.  Should you want to contact me, my email is *.  I believe this is the house on the land of the farm you are looking for (4km only from Rathbarry, putting it in the townland of Rahtbarry)  Once again, apologies for the necrobump on your post.  But I really would love to find out information just like yourself.   https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Red+Strand+Beach,+Unnamed+Rd,+Co.,+Ganniv+Beg,+Co.+Cork/51.5490096,-8.9321523/@51.5495017,-8.9323123,541m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m9!4m8!1m5!1m1!1s0x484452363f39a04d:0x6dc1c8a5a8329d9b!2m2!1d-8.9259799!2d51.5478352!1m0!3e0

If I recall correctly, the house to the left, the surname is Levis.  Might help if you are still on the search, or you may be able to help me in any information about Richard.  Thanking you, Conor.
