    1. [LEITRIM] Cookes in Gorteen, Leitrim, Ireland Griffiths Valuation
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: COOKE, MAGURN, NASH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/5416 Message Board Post: I ordered from the Valuations Office in Dublin the Griffiths Valuation Cancelation pages showing who inherited what land for the Cookes in the Parish of Cloone, County Leitrim. If you've seen Griffiths page 29, showing Isaac and Robert Cooke leasing the land in Gorteen, the land passed as follows: In 1861, Isaac's name was crossed out and replaced by Robert. In 1894, the Magurn land went to Robert. In 1895, Robert's name was crossed out and replaced by Jeremiah. In 1931, Jeremiah's name was crossed out and replaced by John Nash. In an unknown year, Patrick Joseph Cooke obtained a lease of land near the original parcel. (Perhaps 1976.) Just curious, does anyone know the parentage for Jeremiah?
