I have an ancestor (Philip Foot) who was moved from Seven Heads to Sandy Cove in 1822. I have been looking through the Establishment Books to track his career. There is an entry in ADM175/14 (Ireland 1820-1822] for Sandy Cove as a sub-heading under Old Head of Kinsale (Folio 13) and Philip is there. Then in ADM175/16 which covers later dates, Sandy Cove has its own page, though also sharing the name Upper Cove in the box at the top of the page as name of Preventive Station (Philip is here too). When he moves on in 1829 to Roberts Cove the entry states that he was transferred from Upper Cove . I notice in the list of stations in this web site that Sandy Cove is named as a place rather than a Preventive Station, so I am wondering if it was informally named/formed at the inception of the coastguard service and later formally renamed Upper Cove? |
