The
following are lists of estate records that exist
for Co. Down. 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.
The
first part of 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. The second
part of the page lists references to material
held by the Latter Day Saints Library.
