Hello; >From the Cancellation Books, Valuation Office, Dublin. County of Cork, Barony of Condons and Clan Gibbon, Parish of Macroney, Union of Fermoy, Electoral Division of Gortnaskehy. Ordnance Survey 20, 28. 1880-1900. Townland of Billeragh East Page 4 Lot #11 Edmond Parker, In Fee, Land 8 acre/2rod/16perch. Note: This is bracketed with Lot 10 Cathe Veale in 1891. On Lot 10, Cathe Veale is crossed out in favor of Nathaniel Buckley. Nathaniel Buckley is crossed out in 1892 in favor of Abel Buckley. Also, in 1892 there is a pencil mark circling the name Abel Buckley. Also, Reps. of Abel Buckley 1891, indicating Mr. Buckley passed away and his estate was under the control of an administrator or administratrix. There is a note in the margin that Edmond Parker was on lot 11 in 1896. The Buckley's seem to be principal landlords in the area. Page 6 Lot 15 a Nathaniel Buckley, crossed out in favor of Edmond Parker, Ho. and Land - all notes between 1892-1896. Then, "new ho. 97" is written in the margin. Page 12 Billeragh West Lot 6 which was land and flour mill - is noted "91 mill in ruins". William and John Parter [I can't decipher whether this is Parter or Porter or Parker, because it is crossed out in favor of Edmond Kennelly in 1891]. This is only one Cancellation Book covering a period of time in the late 1800s. To get the overall history, I think you would be well counseled to hire someone in Dublin to go through the House Books (pre-Griffiths) and the rest of the Cancellation Books for other years, depending of course on your level of interest and willingness to commit funds to further research.
