George Bolton, Solicitor, having Carriage of Sale, No 6 Ely Place, Dublin and Nenagh.

Thanks again, Mary, for this and all your other fascinating postings. John Rutter Carden ("the woodcock"), owner of the adjoining Barnane estate, had purchased a large part of Willington's Killoskehane estate in 1855 (while in prison), and was able to acquire most of the rest at the 1864 sale you mention. He spent a great deal of money on improvements to the land and castle, and was in the process of selling it in 1866 to Lt Col Albert Fytche of Bengal, but died before the sale went through. I have a good many relevant deeds and other papers. The castle, near Templemore, is still well preserved: its owners live in the USA but spend many months there every year.
