    1. [IRL-KERRY] Estate Records in Ardfert
    2. Anne
    3. Hi All I wonder if any of you have had any experience searching estate records in the National Library. Let me explain the story so far:- My gg grandfather is in the Griffiths as Edmond Slattery of Sackville Ardfert. In the 1901 census, two of his sons Michael and Maurice are farmers in Abbeydorney and Kilflyn. There are no Slatteries of that line in Sackville in 1901 In the 1911 census his sons are still in Abbeydorney and Kilflyn and now one of Edmond's grandsons in back in Sackville Family lore says that Edmond was evicted from the land in Sackville by the landlord William Talbot-Crosbie and sometime later (between 1901 and 1911) the land was given back to the family by William Talbot Crosbie's son. By that time Edmond was dead and the land went to one of Michael's sons. Of course this story may just be a family story but.. I have discovered that some estate records for the Talbot-Crosbies are in the National Library and I will be in Dublin next month and I would like to know whether I am likely to find anything about tenants such as the Slatteries in the estate records. Thanks Anne in cold and wet Sydney Researching\ Slattery in Ardfert, Abbeydorney and Kilflyn.
