Two lists of tenants of the Meelick portion
of the Conyngham Estate have been transcribed from estate papers in the
National Library of Ireland by Matthew Mac Namara. Both lists were compiled
by the land agent, Marcus Keane. The first list names those tenants who
obtained judicial rents at different dates from 1884 onwards. The rents
were fixed by a Land Court and were about 80 per cent of the previous
rents. The second list records the names of Meelick tenants who purchased
their holdings under the Irish Land Purchase Acts. This list was compiled
around 1911 or 1912 and includes the townlands in which the holdings were
located. We give an alphabetical list of these tenants’ names as
well. We are grateful to Matthew Mac Namara for donating these transcriptions.
