Leases of Ballindarra, barony of Ballybritt
Part of The Rosse Papers
Box of leases of Ballindarra, barony of Ballybritt, on the outskirts of Birr. [Sometimes these, in common with other leases of suburban or rural townlands in King’s County, include in the same lease premises in the town of Birr. There
is therefore a good deal of inevitable overlap between the King’s County and Birr runs of leases. Within each townland or denomination there is also a good deal of duplication, because when renewable leases expired, the tenant’s original was returned to the Estate Office and often survived there along with the Estate Office counterpart.]

In or about the 1830s, the 2nd Earl of Rosse must have acquired the Berry interest, which was tantamount to outright ownership, in these townlands, subject
to continued Berry occupation of and residence in part of Dovegrove. These townlands were then subsequently settled on the 2nd Earl’s third son, the Hon. Laurence Parsons, who is a party to the leases of 1860, 1865 and 1872 in this sub-section.] The sub-section also includes papers relating to the sale of Clondallow to Daniel J.
