Sources Essay of Peter Mullowney .

 

Sources for the History of Changes in Land Ownership in the Barony of
Burrishoole , County Mayo .
I intend to research the sources for changes in land ownership of the
Barony of Burrishoole , maybe narrowing down to the parish of
Burrishoole and the estate of the O'Donel's of Newport House in the
period 1820-1923 . 
	I would expect to use Tithe's Applotments , Grfiffith's
Valuation , 1901 and 1911 Census , Parliamentary Papers , Leases and
Rent Rolls and files of Correspondence in the National Library . Other
sources to be consulted would be the records of the Court of Chancery
for estates for which a receiver was appointed, Encumbered Estates Court
, material from the Congested Districts Board , local newspapers . I
would also intend to look at material in the Valuation Office, Registry
of Deeds and National Archives . Other archives that I would consult are
the local history section of Mayo County Library , Castlebar , parish
registers in local custody and in Representative Church Body Library ,
Irish Land Commission Records Branch , Irsih Linen Center Lisburn ,
records of Castlebar Linenhall in possession of Fr. Curran P.P.
Castlebar , Land Registry and  Archives of Mayo County Council ,
