My tables are sorted alphabetically by Occupiers' name - any Immediate Lessor may be listed numerous times throughout a parish. Immediate Lessor names are not sorted alphebetically
In those instances when a person is listed twice in the same townland and the Immediate lessor was the same for each entry I have the occupiers name once and indicated how many times that name occurs in that townland beside it.
I have excluded the name of Immediate Lessors of Vacant properties when that person was already listed as being an Immediate Lessor in the same townland. The names of Immediate Lessors of vacant properties are included if that person was not listed as an Immediate Occupier previously in that townland.
e.g in the following situation:(example not from this parish)
Occupier - Surname & Name Immediate lessor - Surname & Name Townland Bowe John
Bowe John
Brennan Michael
Brennan MichaelPope Letitia, Mrs.
Pope Letitia, Mrs.
Trench Fredk. F., Rev.
Trench Fredk. F., Rev.Kellyville
Kellyville
Ballintlea
BallintleaA person called John Bowe leased two sets of properties from Mrs. Letita Pope in the same townland -Kellyville.
A person called Michael Brennan leased two sets of properties from Rev. Fredk(Ferderick) Trench in Ballintlea.
I indicate that a person leased more than one property from a particular 'Imiade lessor' in a particular townland by putting an x and a number behind the first name. In this case, my entries for these two people will be as follows:
Occupier - Surname & Name Immediate lessor - Surname & Name Townland Bowe John x 2
Brennan Michael x 2Pope Letitia, Mrs.
Trench Fredk. F., Rev.Kellyville
BallintleaThe Immediate Lessor is the person who owns or leases the property from the Landholder. The Occupier is the person who leases the land from the Immediate Lessor. The Occupier, in turn, may sub-let part of the property that they are listed as being the Occupier of, in which case, their name is then listed in the Immediate Lessor column. You need to see the original pages of the Griffiths Valuation which lists the type of property being leased.
See Griffiths Valuation for a more detailed explanation
