The
following are lists of estate records that exist for Co.
Clare. There are a few 'categories' of records, rent rolls
or leases are probably the most useful for any family
history researcher or maps that include tenants names.
These are the type of estate records for which references
are usually found. There are however, other types of esate
records which may prove of use such as account books,
petitions and proposals from tenants, lists of landlords
families and also vouchers or receipts. These can be overlooked
when creating any list of estate records.
For
the most part, estate records remain in their original
manuscript form. These have not to the best of my knowledge
been filmed by any organisation outside Ireland or England.
Copies of some of these records are held in repositories
in Dublin, but the majority are held by PRONI. The Latter
Day Saints Library does hold some estate records on film
or copies of books written about landlords.
This
page lists the the names of the landlords, (bold) and
some records existing for their estates - the manuscript
or film numbers all refer to material held in Ireland.
Where there is only one reference for any Landlord, then
the years covered are beside the Landlords name. Where
there is more than one reference then the Landlords name
is at the top of any grouping and the years listed with
each manuscript reference under that name.
The
estates that your ancestors lived on (if they did) may
at times be found by checking through the Tithes Applotment/Griffiths
Valuation lists for the parish or county.
