Box of leases of premises in or near Birr which, even with the aid of Q/16/1, it has not proved possible to pin precisely or even approximately.

Box of leases of Ballindarra, barony of Ballybritt, on the outskirts of Birr. [Sometimes these, in common with other leases of suburban or rural townlands in King’s County, include in the same lease premises in the town of Birr. There
is therefore a good deal of inevitable overlap between the King’s County and Birr runs of leases. Within each townland or denomination there is also a good deal of duplication, because when renewable leases expired, the tenant’s original was returned to the Estate Office and often survived there along with the Estate Office counterpart.]

Envelope of leases of Ballinree, barony of Ballybritt, adjoining Birr and Crinkle. [In date order.]

Envelope of leases and deeds of conveyance of Ballywilliam, barony of Ballybritt, near Birr. [In date order.] The envelope also includes modern papers about the sale of Rangers Lodge in Ballywilliam to Bridget and James Callaghan.

Envelope of leases of Boolanarrig, barony of Eglish, the lease of 1801 being of a part of Boolanarrig called Clonmelin. [In date order.]

Envelope of leases and deed of conveyance of Bruckera, Brockerybeg, Cushnavanlagh, Gortgreen and Ardgoga [see Q/21. In date order.]

Two envelopes of leases of Cappaneale, including Cows Bawn, barony of Ballybritt, on the outskirts of Birr. [In date order.] The sub-section also includes papers relating to the sale of properties in Cappaneale to Tony Kelly and various other purchasers.

Lease of Cowspark, barony of Eglish [probably near Birr].

Envelope of leases of Derrinduff, baronies of Ballybritt and Clonlisk. [In date order.]

Envelope of leases of Lisclooney and Clonbaniff, barony of Garrycastle. The earliest lease, of 1701, was granted by William Sprigge of Clonivoe, so these townlands, together with Clonivoe itself [see Q/30] and probably all the lands in the barony of Garrycastle, must have formed all or part of the Parsons family’s inheritance from the Sprigges. [In date order.] The envelope also includes papers relating to the sale of Lisclooney Cottage to Oliver Claffey.
