Additional information:
Castletownsend was split into two words during that period by the UK M&M scribe.
Lloyd’s showed only J Atteridge as captain of 134t brig in 1828 –9. Lloyd’s then documents Captain J Atterdge (abbreviation) on the 134t brig Margaret in 1830 operating out of Belfast, a prize ship built in Halifax (presume Nova Scotia). No date of construction for this ship, which seems to have been customary with prize ships, but which limits some statistical analysis. Captain John Driscoll would sail as Master on the Hibernia of Kinsale and the Rising Sun of Cork and move to New Brunswick for a couple of years, before returning to captain Mary of Cork in 1841.

Fate of ship:
On the 2 March 1872 the ship was driven ashore near Stranraer, Wigtownshire and was abandoned by her crew. She was on a voyage from Troon, Ayrshire to Cork. She was re- floated on 27 March and taken into Ardrossan (List of Shipwrecks - Wiki). She moved to the Port of Plymouth in 1895 (CLIP). This ship was an iron- hulled brigantine, built at Robinson’s Waterside Dockyard and was named for Margaret McCarthy, the wife of Captain George Sutton (b.1804, Clonakilty).
