The
following are lists of estate records that exist for
Co.Derry. 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.
