 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Diocese of Portsmouth
With this he made a start, and the eighteen years of his episcopate was a slow and steady growth in every department of diocesan life — the founding of new missions, the establishment of religious communities, and the gradual increase in the ranks of the clergy.
He was well known in all branches of public life, and at his death the esteem in which he was held by the people of the borough, was attested by their liberal subscriptions to his memorial chapel in the cathedral.
Bishop Cahill had been Rector of Ryde since 1868, and vicar-general of the diocese since its foundation, he was consecrated coadjutor (titular of Thagora) only three weeks before the death of Bishop Virtue.

 Portsmouth Herald Local News: Catholic reformers: Keep priest records
PORTSMOUTH - New Hampshire members of Voices of the Faithful are asking Bishop John McCormack not to allow the destruction of priests’ records after their death, even though the state has said the Manchester diocese is permitted to do so.

The records indicate that Gendron, who was bishop of the Diocese of Manchester from 1975 to 1990, destroyed documents once at the request of an accused priest and again at the request of a facility treating another priest for abuse.
