Hi Mutley,
I don't think they are inmates of anything in the way we normally assume.
I am guessing they are boarders. The term inmate is used in a number of places through this Folio. Page 7 has for the top entry "Inmate to No. 18".
The term lodger is used in various places but a quick perusal of some 16 pages did not find the term boarder.

I would agree with Doug re the "inmate" situation, but ...

1) The Driscolls, John Driscoll being head of household, with McCarthys being Mary 60, Thomas 15, Mary 18, James 25 - those are the ones you expressed interest in, so they are with the Driscolls, not with Sarah Canty, she's not head of household for your lot.
2) The Canty woman - who isn't a woman! "Sarah" Canty is Jonah (or could be a faded Josiah?) Canty, an 83 year-old widower. I am not sure what the first bit of that "Occupier" bit is, could be "Partly" I suspect, but he is shown as "House Keeper in absence of Family" so, whatever it says, it's pretty clear what the position is. With him are the second lot of McCarthys - Charles 57, Mary 56, James 32, John 18 - not your McCarthys.Last edited by Mythology; 22-12-2006 at 8:04 AM.

Thanks Procat
My lot were boarders all their lives and moving around, I imagine, to skip paying the rent, so that fits.
Thank you Mythology
What I can see on my screen is so faded but now I have read your transcription it makes sense.
It is young Mary b. 1833 I am interested in. I wondered if this is the Mary from Cork that married a Frederick Horsnell b. abt 1830 from Faulkbourne, Essex between 1846 and 1853.
If this is her it narrows the marriage search dates.
Thanks again
Mutley
