TENANTS OF STEWART ESTATE IN DUBLIN, IRELAND 1797-1807

This is a list of 97 tenants on the Dublin estate of
James STEWART from 1797 to 1807.  The estate consisted
of properties on Molesworth,  Kildare and South
Frederick streets in central Dublin city, and 4
townlands around the village of Ballyboughal in north
county Dublin.  These are in 2 rentals in the National
Library of Ireland (Ms. 5944 and 5945) and consist of
half-yearly rental records from 1797 to 1807. As in
most rentals, name abbreviations are widely used: Matw.
is Matthew, Wm. is William., Richd. is Richard etc.
The identity of the estate owner James STEWART is not
certain,  but he is possibly  James STEWART from Tyrone,
a member of the British Parliament who married Elizabeth
MOLESWORTH,  a grand-daughter of John MOLESWORTH, the
developer of Molesworth street.  The STEWART family also
had strong connections with the constituency of Swords,
Co. Dublin in which the rural townlands are located.
This may explain how these properties came to be in the
possession of James STEWART.
The list of tenant names, particularly those in the city
properties, include many that are unusual in Ireland,
such as EATON, KEMMIS, RYVES, VAVASOUR, HANKINSON and
OULD.  Note also that there is significant variation in
the spelling of some names from year to year and it
appears (from the handwriting) that the accounts were
drawn up by different people over the period.  For
instance, there are 5 different variants of the name
GARSTINE ' Gaston in the different rental lists. The
tenants are listed below by the location of their
holding.  Although most tenants were present for the
entire period 1797-1807,  new tenants are indicated by
the date from which they became tenants.
