    1. [DONEGALEIRE] Taughboyne Parish, Wickloow estate and Chichester's Inishowen estate
    2. Rachel
    3. I think most of your questions on Taughboyne have been answered. I would only add that I transcribed some early estate records for the Wicklow estate -1727 and Tiroddy was not included. Land changed hands all the time and he could have acquired it later. My own interest was in Carnamaddy - spelt Carrivenamaddy in the these papers . In 1727 ir was owned by the Wicklow estate but by early 1800s it was owned by the Chichester estate. I suppose I should check the Land Valuation office for more accurate dates.! Has anyone incidentally ever searched the Chichester estate rentals in PRONI?. There is such a mass of info on his varied land holdings - not to mention his private and political life - that I have never managed to find the Inishowen estate. Joseph Dysart of Carnamaddy was Chichester's land agent n th 19C and I live in hope of finding some gem like the Abercorn land agent correspondence. Rachel
