Can anyone tell me the name of the Earl of Kingston in 1852? He is identified as landowner in sections of Billerragh east, Macroney Parish, during Griffiths Valuation of Cork. Also would anyone know if rent records or any informartion at all exists about this person during this time period? Bill O'Loughlin

Public Record Office of Northern Ireland Another considerable quantity of 19th-century MS and printed case papers, correspondence, etc, 1846-1872, all relates to the litigation between and among the Kings and King-Harmans, the re-settlement of the Mitchelstown estate and the (first) re-settlement of the Rockingham estate which took place in this period and all of which were more-or-less interrelated and were inspired by the illegitimacy of Henry Ernest Newcomen King, second 'son' of Robert King, 2nd Viscount Lorton and 6th Earl of Kingston (though almost certainly the son of Robert King's wife, Anne, by the Vicomte Satgé St Jean). Family background. The depositor of the King-Harman papers, Colonel A.L. King-Harman, not only owns the papers covered by this list, but published a short family history based on them and on other sources, entitled The Kings of King House (Bedford, 1996). One principal source for this was the much longer family history, The Kings, Earls of Kingston (Cambridge, 1959), printed privately for family circulation by his late father, Capt. R.D. King-Harman, RN, DSO, DSC. Both books are in the archive, the longer version being on loan from Elizabeth Lady Shakespeare, a direct descendant of the 1st Viscount Lorton. These are essential sources for the complexities of King, Harman and King-Harman family history, which cannot be summarised within anything resembling reasonable bounds. Copies of The Kings of King House may be ordered from Colonel A.L. King-Harman, c/o Lloyds Bank, 34 High Street, Bedford MK40 1SB (price £8.50). It is highly recommended reading. http://proni.nics.gov.uk/records/private/kinghar.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: <Wtoxr7@aol.com> To: <CountyCork-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 10:37 PM Subject: [Cork] Identity of the Earl of Kingston in Griffiths Valuation > Can anyone tell me the name of the Earl of Kingston in 1852?
