Lord Leitrims Evictions

Post by Michael Faughnan Jr. »

I often read of families that were evicted or relocated by Lord Leitrim in the late 1800's. Is anyone aware of any records that may exist with this regard ?

Some of my ancestors lived on the Madden estate in Leitrim and I found loads about it at the following web site<br>http://proni.nics.gov.uk/records/private/madden.htm <p>it talks of rent records, maps, journal records etc.<p>Just as a matter of interest one of the Maddens was a son-in-law of Lord Leitrim and there is some stuff about him in these records.<p>Definitely worth a try<p>Jim<p><br>
