Hi I think there are two answers! Kingston is a small townland 2 miles due south of Rathdrum village. It is near Corballis, Ballinacorrig Upper and Avondale - so that might help you if you have any names coming from those townlands. Corballis was a big house built in the area (1735) and of course there was a house at Avondale (1777) where Parnell was born. There is also a Kingston Hotel in Dun Laoghaire (which was in North Rathdown, the area is now called Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown), which used to be called Kingstown before independence. You could check out a book "Between the Mountains and the Sea" by Peter Pearson to see if he mentions a Kingston House in the Dublin area (or if this hotel used to be Kingston House). I will have a look here locally and let you know. Were you expecting it to be a "big house"?
