Hello Craig, Sadly, my list of Practical Farmers in Dromore parish recorded in the 1820s is all that there is. Such a list recorded in the Ordnance Survey Memoirs is rather rare and worthy of inclusion on CTI. Generally it is only gentry, large landowners and proprietors of townlands (usually non-resident) who are recorded. The OS Memoirs documented the landscape, buildings and antiquities, land-holdings and population, employment and livelihood of the parishes. Mills, social life, education, trades and occupations are also included.
