In 1808 Richard Harding Wigmore of Ballynona, county Cork, married Anne Atkins of Firville, near Mallow and they had four sons, Henry, Robert, William and Arthur and two daughters. Kilbarry, parish of Castlelyons, county Cork, was the home of a branch of the Wigmore family in the 19th century. They held the subdenominations of the townland of Kilbarry named Coolenafinoge and Inchinore in the mid 19th century under a fee farm grant. These lands were advertised for sale in May 1854. Henry Wigmore was described as "an insolvent". The Freeman's Journal reported that they were purchased by Richard Carroll for over £1100. Coolenafinoge was advertised for sale again in 1862, the estate of Benjamin Bradshaw Wigmore. Ballynona amounting to over 400 acres the estate of Henry Wigmore was advertised for sale on four dates in 1871 and 1872. It was held on a fee farm grant, dated 2 August 1860, Sir Arthur De Capell Brooke to Henry Wigmore and included the house and demesne of Brookdale. The original lease of Ballynona was from Richard Hull to Henry Wigmore and was dated 1758. The Irish Times reported that Messers. J. Fitzgerald and Mough were the purchasers as well as Mr. Healy, in trust.
Henry Wigmore of Ballynona, Midleton, owned 70 acres in county Cork in the 1870s. The Ballynona mill and 8 acres, still in Wigmore possession, was advertised for sale in June 1882.
