Hello All, Thanks for your efforts Daz. I hope you have survived to see this. I looked at the Enniskerry Glenbrook House and would love to claim it as an Ancestral Home it is so attractive. I also looked at Shelton Abbey and found that it once was an Earl's residence. For a fleeting moment I thought I had found my heritage as an Earl's daughter! Alas in later years it became a prison, and may still be so. I may have asked this before but please bear with me. If one died intestate in the 1800's who administered the estate? I know there was a farm involved which was still run by family in 1909 and doing well. Also various members received 7 pounds each and William 12 pounds. I would love to know what that was worth in those days. Anona
