86 Archival description results for Leases
Envelope of leases of Derrinduff, baronies of Ballybritt and Clonlisk. [In date order.]
Envelope of leases of Lisclooney and Clonbaniff, barony of Garrycastle. The earliest lease, of 1701, was granted by William Sprigge of Clonivoe, so these townlands, together with Clonivoe itself [see Q/30] and probably all the lands in the barony of Garrycastle, must have formed all or part of the Parsons family’s inheritance from the Sprigges. [In date order.] The envelope also includes papers relating to the sale of Lisclooney Cottage to Oliver Claffey.
Envelope or leases of Loretto, barony of Ballybritt. [In date order.]
Envelope of leases of Powlduff, barony of Ballybritt. [In date order.]
Envelope of leases of Scurragh, barony of Ballybritt, on the outskirts of Birr. The lease of 1912 describes Scurragh as being part of the Townparks of Birr, and the subsequent leases are of ‘Townparks’ and do not specifically mention Scurragh. The envelope also includes papers relating to the sale of properties in Scurragh to the Birr Urban District Council and other purchasers.
Envelope of leases of the Shinrone estate (Shinrone, Cloughmoyle, Manure, etc) owned jointly by the 2nd Earl of Rosse and the Lloyd family of Gloster. Leases of this property seem to have continued to be made jointly, in spite
of the partition effected in 1806 [see E/37. In date order.]
Box of leases of Tullynisky, alias Tullaneskeagh, etc, etc, Woodfield and Woodville, barony of Eglish. [The present house on this townland, Tullynisky Park, was built by and for the two bachelor brothers of the 2nd Earl of Rosse, Rev. William Parsons and Thomas C. Parsons, c.1820; but in the first half of the 18th century the heir apparent to the baronetcy seems to have lived in an earlier house situated in this townland. From c.1860 it was the residence of the three
generations of the Garvey family who acted as Rosse agent, up to at least the 1890s being called ‘Thornvale’ (an English translation of the Irish, Tullaneskeagh) – see V/27. Woodfield and Woodville are sub-denominations, not townlands in their own right.] The box also includes papers relating to a 10-year lease of Tullynisky Park to George Gossip, together with maps of the premises, an agreement to surrender, and a 1997 licence to extract sand and gravel from Kiltemony Quarry, beside Tullynisky.
Leases of and a conveyance of premises in Church Lane. [In date order.] This section also includes papers relating to the sale of a Church Lane fee farm grant to Patrick Daly.
Envelope of leases of premises in Moore Park or Moorpark Street. [In date order.] The envelope also includes a file relating to the sale of property in Moorpark Street to Mary Dunne.
