Parish for Bantry, Cork and Ross Diocese

I am trying to find more information about my 2nd and 3rd great grandfathers and 3rd great grandmother.  My 2nd great grandfather, Daniel J. Leary, was baptised on March 5, 1833 in Bantry Parish.  His parents were Daniel Leary and Elizabeth Donel (?) Leary.  Can anyhone help me find the correct parish on Ireland XO, if it is included on this site.  Thank you.  Pam McAlonan

I'm not sure whether there's a Bantry parish group at Ireland XO, but in case you don't have the following info;

The Catholic parish records for Bantry (which go back as far as 1788) are available online at this link:  https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0019

And this link contains other info about the parish, and the townlands in it (including info from Griffith's Valuation):  https://www.townlands.ie/cork/bantry/

That second link is to records for the civil parish of Bantry, and sometimes the Catholic and civil parishes do not have the exact same boundaries (and may even have different names in some places), but in the case of Bantry the name is the same and the boundaries are also more or less the same.
