Administrative History ↴
The collection is mainly documents of the Vickery Family in Bantry, Co Cork from c.1770 – 1998. The family are best known as the owners of the Vickery Inn or Vickery’s Hotel in Bantry. The Hotel opened in 1850. It was re-registered with Bord Fáilte as a guest house in 1977 and re-named as Vickery’s Inn. It closed in 2006. -

Scope & Content: The Vickery Family ↴
The Collection consists mainly of legal documents, e.g. leases for properties or plots of ground in the town of Bantry and in the townland of Rooska/Rusky/Rooskeigh in the Parish of Durrus, Co Cork. The Vickery’s leased these land from the Earl of Bantry.
The Collection divides naturally into three parts. Section A is concerned with the Vickery family and is broadly arranged in chronological order according to individuals. John Vickery (the Elder) is the earliest individual and thus items relating to him are at the beginning of the listing. His son James follows, and so on. John Vickery had a large family and the collection contains material relating his son James, his heirs Thomas and Richard, and their heirs. There is an accompanying Family Tree to the Collection that may be helpful to the overall understanding of the Vickery family.
Section B contains information on individuals or families who were either related to the Vickery family or were living or owned properties in Bantry town. Some of these properties may have passed to the Vickery family thus explaining why they came to be in the Collection.
Section C contains two Bantry town maps which are not naturally ascribed to any of the previous documentation so are given a separate entry.
