Hi Earl,
Thanks for your message.
Catholic records from Bandon are available online free of charge here:
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/
You can use the Irish TImes website to see what records are actually available in the parish- luckily Bandon?s records start as early as 1794 :
Hopefully you will be able to find something there.
Bandon is a Catholic parish in Cork. However, Ireland is also divided into civil parishes. The civil parishes that make up Bandon Catholic parish are:
Ballymodan
Desertserges
Kilbrogan
It is important to know this as other records may use the civil parish name instead of the Catholic one.
For example, the Tithe Applotment Books. These are land records dating from 1823-38. I searched for Clerkes in Co. Cork and you can see that there were some recorded in the above civil parishes:
You could also check the later Griffith?s Valuation (1848-64)
