FARMERS IN CASTLETOWN PARISH, CO LIMERICK 1848/49

This list of small farmers is derived from 2 documents in Ms. 8344 in the
National Library of Ireland, entitled 'Rent ledger of lands in Co. Tipperary the
property of the Maunsell (?) family, 1848'. Despite the title, the properties
are in the townland of Carrig Beg (spelt Carraghbeg in the document) which is in
the Parish of Castletown, Co. Limerick (403 acres). It is on the Tipperary
border and in the Poor Law Union of Tipperary. The two relevant documents are a
rental with a list of 22 tenants, and a separate letter from Michael Ryan
(presumably the land-agent writing to the landlord) detailing the "..number of
acres in tillage and meadowing in Castletown" dated Oct. 24 1849. The latter
document contains almost all of the same names as the rental, but the final
three on the list below are additional to the rental list and may have taken up
tenancies from the original list in the interim. The file also contains rent
receipts which clearly show the location of the properties as being Carrig Beg.
