I have written a genealogical article about the Cornish who worked in the copper mines in Allihies, West Cork, Ireland ,from 1812 until they closed in 1884.  It was published by the Cornish Family History Society in the March edition of their Journal.        The Cornish in West Cork

The great Cornish tin mine Wheal Grenville (1845 - 1920) was the reason for the existence of the mining village of Troon.  It drew miners from other mines which were close to being worked out - notably from St. Just in Penwith, Sancreed, Pendeen, Madron, Breage, Crowan, Gwinear, Wendron and St. Erth. They often went back to their previous church to be married, or took their children (or their grandchildren) back to be christened.
