"See Lands of Raphoe" held under the immediate Tenant of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who has purchased the perpetuity. I am looking for an explanation about "See Lands." Church lands, but what does "See" mean? My townland of interest is Makenny, on the Fermanagh/Magheracross and Tyrone/Kilskeery border. Information about this townland is usually found in Fermanagh, as it is closer to the towns of Irvinestown and Ballinamallard, also the parishes of Magheracross and Kilskeery were united between 1622 and 1756. The above "See Lands of Raphoe" is included in both 1813 and 1838 sale notices for Makenny, in the Tyrone Parish of Kilskeery. Wikipedia - Raphoe The town lends its name to both the Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland dioceses, which covers nearly all, except the very southern section of County Donegal including Inishowen as well as County Londonderry and northern section of County Tyrone. Raphoe's status has declined significantly in recent centuries however, with the Anglican diocese being merged with Derry, while the Roman Catholic bishop now has his See in the larger town of Letterkenny. Thanks, Carole E.
