A LIST OF SMALL FARMERS, COUNTIES LIMERICK & TIPPERARY - 1848

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) and in the Poor Law Union of
Tipperary.
The two documents are (a) rental with a list
of 22 tenants, and (b) a letter from MICHAEL RYAN
(presumably the land-agent) detailing the '..number of
acres in tillage and meadowing in Castletown dated Oct.
24 1849. The letter 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.
