Small Sources No. 75: This is a list of 435 tenants of the Wynne estate in Sligo and Leitrim in 1798. The original is among the Wynne Estate papers in the National Library of Ireland (reference NLI Ms. 3311). The family bought the estate, called Hazelwood, in 1722. At the time of this record in 1798, the proprietor was Owen Wynne V (1755-1841) who was a member of the British Parliament and an ‘improving landlord’ who invested time and resources in developing his estate, and improving the farming practices of his tenants. This was not usual for Irish landlords at the time. Further information on the Wynne family is available here.
The estate papers detail the personal and business transactions of the Wynne family, and among these are a series of rentals. Rentals are the records kept for management of tenants and are variable in content. For further information on their format and family history value, see our detailed blog “Rentals as a resource for Irish family history“. This particular rental document is an ‘annual’ return defining the rent and arrears for the period ending 29th Sept 1798. The list is in a series of columns defining the ‘denomination’ or property location; the name of the tenant; and the arrears and rents due. An extract from a rental page is shown in Fig. 1.
The rental contains separate tenant lists for 4 parts of the Wynne estates. These are:
County Sligo: A single list of 336 tenants, all of which have holdings on land in Sligo county owned by Owen Wynne. These holdings are very predominantly in the Civil Parishes of Drumcliff, Calry and St. Johns which are in the North of the county and together surround (and contain) the town of Sligo.
County Leitrim: A list of 99 tenants in Leitrim under three headings, all of which are marked below as ‘(Co. Leitrim)’. Note that the spelling of townlands in these holdings have not been compared with current spelling formats:
- 57 tenants in Owen Wynn’s own estate in Leitrim. These are in the townlands of: Balliglass, Barrack Park, Corglass, Cornagregarny, Dadreen, Gortenare, Lurganboy, Lugnafaughry, Menafull, Milltown, Mountain Third, Sracreeghan and Twigspark
- 17 tenants in lands of Owen Wynne ‘held under the See of Kilmore’ which is a Church of Ireland Diocese. (See ‘Other notes’ below). These holdings are in the townlands of: Barrs, Cornea, Cooladonnell, Cartrongibbagh, Derrynehimerky, Drimnargid, Gortnacreeve, Gubnegeer, Kinkellon, Lattoon. Lissarush, Raheelan, Shasmore.
- 26 tenants in lands of Owen Wynne ‘held under the See of Ardagh and Tuam’ which is a Church of Ireland Diocese. These are in the townlands of: Cloonlogher, Cloonclare, Cloonquin, Gortgarsons, Killinumery, Nure, Pollboy, Rossinver Tythes, Rossfriar, Shanvoss, Shabrick.
A few other points on the list of tenants and properties:
Places:
- The holdings are defined by townland, or by street if the holding is in Sligo town.
- Unless otherwise indicated, the properties are in County Sligo.
- Where streets are listed, these are in Sligo town.
- As is usual in older rentals such as this one, some of the townland names are spelled differently than the currently accepted form. For the Sligo townlands (only) the current form is listed in addition to the form used in the original.
- If no current townland name (or variants of) could be found, this is indicated as ‘(name or variants not found in townland lists)‘. Examples include Cloonhibikin and Mymlagh. These areas may be sub-townlands. Large townlands, of which there are many in this area, would have informal sub-divisions for practical purposes. These generally do not appear in formal lists. If there are no notes after the townland name, the spelling used in the original is the currently accepted form.
Names:
- No first names are listed for some tenants, particularly those in towns. Rentals are made for the convenience of landlords and their agents. If the tenant is well-known to the agent, the name detail was not required.
The handwriting is difficult to interpret in many cases, so this list is offered on a ‘best efforts’ basis. The author (presumably an agent working for the estate) also uses an unconventional set of abbreviations for first names. He uses Jn. (presumably John) and Js. (presumably James) but also uses J. whose meaning is unclear. Other name abbreviations used, and their probable meaning are: Abm = Abraham; Andw. = Andrew; Arch. = Archibald; Bw. = Bartholomew: Ch. = Charles; Domk. = Dominic; Geo. = George; Gilb. = Gilbert; Hy. = Henry; Jer. = Jeremiah; Jos. = Joseph; Laur. = Laurence; Matw. = Matthew; Michl. or Ml. = Michael; Rd. = Richard; Robt. = Robert; Rog. = Roger; Thos. = Thomas; Tim. or Timy. = Timothy; Wm. = William. Although not a name, some are indicated as widows (sometimes Wid.)- It is noteworthy that the names are not fully representative of the local population. The most common names in the area of Sligo in which these holdings occur (the Barony of Calry) are: Feeney, Gillen, Gilmartin, Hart and Higgins. This is based on Griffith Valuation records from the 1840s. All of these are more typically Catholic names, whereas the tenant names in the rental rather reflect the non-Catholic population, which represented some 10% of the total. It may be that Wynne (as a politician) favoured non-Catholic tenants as they could (under certain conditions) vote, and were more likely to vote for him.
- Further information on some of the families listed may be included in our publication ‘Sources for Irish Family History 2021‘. This e-book is a listing or bibliography of 6,500 books, articles and some library sources on 2,500 Irish families. These sources have been collected from local history journals, genealogy magazines, library catalogues and published book lists.
Other notes.
Diocesan Properties: The legal formalities regarding Wynne’s involvement in the Diocesan properties in Co. Leitrim is not clear. It would appear that the Wynne estate acted as agent for the dioceses in respect of these properties.
Tenant consortia: A common practice of Irish tenants was to appoint a leader who would act as the nominal holder of a property. The holding would in practice be divided into several independent farms run by each partner. These are indicated in the rental as ‘and co.’. In some cases holdings are indicated as a plural of the name e.g. ‘Fletchers’ etc. This would suggest a tenancy involving several members of the same family. In some cases there are only two parties: e.g. Burrows and Peacock; Hennery and Scanlan.
Rectorial Tithes: Note that the ‘holding ‘ of Warren and Shaw below is ‘Rectorial Tithes‘, and McSharry has the ‘Rossinver Tythes‘. Tithes are a form of tax payable by all denominations for the upkeep of the Church of Ireland. While tithes were generally owned by clergy, they could also be owned by lay-people. In this case the Wynne estate is renting their tithes to these persons (so-called ‘tithe-farmers’) who would collect the tithes in anticipation of collecting more than they have paid.
