Scope and content
Register of received and professed brothers and sisters of the Third Order fraternity attached to the Capuchin Friary at Rochestown, County Cork. The volume contains several lists of confraternity members under name, address, reception and profession dates, name of director at the time of profession, and remarks. The remarks mainly note whether the individual has left the locality or is deceased. Some of the lists indicate a division of members into geographical areas (such as lower and upper Rochestown).
