Tenants’ wills, case papers, and leases relating to Derrinsallagh

Two large envelopes containing a few leases, but mostly tenants’ wills and case papers, all relating to Derrinsallagh, barony of Lower Ormond, Co. Tipperary, [which may or may not have been part of the Dunalley estate, but probably was a much later acquisition of the Earls of Rosse.] This section also includes Irish Land Commission sale papers relating to the ‘Derrinsallow’ property of John Pilkington.

Tradesmen’s accounts to the 5th Earl and Lady Rosse

Four envelopes of tradesmen’s accounts to the 5th Earl, including a few to Lady Rosse, from London, Dublin and Birr tradesmen (primarily the first) for all manner of goods (among them a pendant brooch supplied by C. Faberge,
1910), but excluding accounts for major items connected with Birr Castle and gardens [for which see M/25 and 33 respectively], 1910-18; together with 7 volumes of Birr Castle house-keeping books kept by Lady Rosse/de Vesci and (in one case) her sister, Countess de la Feld, 1910-30. [See also T/30. Not in chronological order.]
