As well as these, Volume 6 of Albert Casey's O'Kief, Coshe Mang etc. reprints the biographical notices from the Kerry Evening Post from 1828 to 1864, and these are included in the general index at the back of the volume.

More useful than any of these, however, are two extraordinary works produced by Rosemary ffolliott, her Index to Biographical Notices Collected from Newspapers, Principally Relating to Cork and Kerry, 1756-1827, and Index to Biographical Notices in the Newspapers of Limerick, Ennis, Clonmel and Waterford, 1758-1821.

Both are in fact much more than simple indexes, transcribing and ordering alphabetically all of the notices they record. Some idea of their scope can be gleaned simply by listing the newspapers they cover.

The Index to Biographical Notices Collected from Newspapers, Principally Relating to Cork and Kerry, 1756-1827 includes biographical notices relating to Cork and Kerry from the surviving issues of the following Cork papers:

• Cork Advertiser,
• Cork Chronicle,
• Cork Evening Post,
• Cork Gazette,
• Corke Journal,
• Cork Mercantile Chronicle,
• Cork Morning Intelligence,
• Southern Reporter,
• The Constitution,
• Hibernian Chronicle,
• Volunteer Journal.

As well as these, it also records all notices relating to Cork and Kerry in

• Finn's Leinster Journal,
• Dublin Gazette,
• Dublin Hibernian Journal,
• Faulkner's Dublin Journal,
• Freeman's Journal,
• Magazine of Magazines,
• Limerick Chronicle,
• Waterford Mirror.

The Index to Biographical Notices in the Newspapers of Limerick, Ennis, Clonmel and Waterford, 1758-1821 extracts and indexes the biographical notices from

• Clonmel Herald,
• Clonmel Gazette,
• Clonmel Advertiser,
• Ennis Chronicle,
• Clare Journal,
• Limerick Evening Post,
• Limerick Gazette,
• Limerick Chronicle,
• Munster Journal,
• Waterford Chronicle,
• Waterford Mirror.

In addition, a number of eighteenth-century Dublin newspapers are included,

• Freeman's Journal,
• Faulkner's Dublin Journal,
• Dublin Hibernian Journal,
• Hibernian Chronicle

and all notices for the areas covered by the above publications extracted, as well as notices relating to other Munster counties, and to Counties Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Leitrim, Longford and King's (Offaly).

Between the two works, then, almost all of the surviving eighteenth-century notices for the southern half of the country are extracted, along with a large proportion of notices up to 1821-1827, and most of the entries relating to Connacht, south Leinster and Munster which were picked up and reprinted by the Dublin papers.

All in all, the two works constitute a magnificent work of scholarship. Unfortunately, neither is as widely available as it should be. The National Library and Cork City Library hold manuscript copies of the Cork and Kerry index (National Library Mss 19172-5). Limerick Archives has a copy of the more extensive Limerick, Ennis, Clonmel and Waterford index. Copies can also be found in the library of the Society of Australian Genealogists.
