Harrington (Urdail) home in Clountreem, Castletownbere, West Cork, Ireland

February 2005: more video footage than anyone needs from a visit to old Harrington home in Clountreem. As I understand it, this property was once owned by Jeremiah Harrington (Caobach) b. abt 1790, then JOHN (or Jack) HARRINGTON (Urdail), b. 1820 in Gowlane, Kilmacowen married "cliamhain isteach" (see below) to this place which was then passed down to the next generation, down to "Dan and Mary", the last Harrington owners: Daniel Harrington (Urdail) (12 Jun 1901, d. 01 Apr 1974) and Mary Harrington (Urdail) (b. 11 Dec 1889, d. 21 May 1974), brother and sister of my grandfather Michael. The house is not far from "downtown" Castletownbere in County Cork, Ireland and I believe the exact location is: 51.667455,-9.898944 The drive shown in this video begins on R572 (Seaview Terrace/St Joseph's Villas?) then turning right, driving along a road and turning left at the sign: "Clann Troim, Clountreem, (Wedge Grave)" then following this road (or "boreen") up to the house. cliamhain isteach: "To explain the Irish expression "cliamhain isteach": it means a man marrying in as a son-in-law to his wife's parents. He leaves his own place and settles down in her farm. "Cliamhain" means a son-in-law; "isteach" means (coming) in." - Riobard O'Dwyer, Vol. III Introduction Beara list posting re: wedge grave in Clountreem: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com...
