Tipperary and Waterford tenants on Woulfe Mansfield Estate 1783-1811

Share it

Small Sources 18: This list of 131 tenants is from the index to a rental of the Woulfe Mansfield estate in the period 1783–1811.  The original is in the National Library of Ireland, NLI Ms. 9632.  The Woulfe & Mansfield families had separate estates in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary (Woulfe) and Rathgormuck, Co. Waterford (Mansfield).  In 1785 Elizabeth Woulfe (whose portrait is above) married John Mansfield and the two family’s estates were combined. Further information on the family estates is in the Landed Estates Database   The rental covers separate lands in the two counties, but they were managed as one, so the index includes tenants from both estates.  The full details of holdings, rents, payments etc can be found in the rental.  See our article here for a detailed account of rentals and their relevance.   Note that this only includes names listed in the index. Names of further tenants can be found in the original rental records as the nominal tenants often act on behalf of groups in an area.  The names are listed as spelled,  and with the abbreviations used, e.g. Jno. = John, Wm. = William etc. Other useful information in the index (e.g. occupations, property names etc) is also included.  The index has been ‘updated’ in places to show that the property has passed to another tenant.  For example Joseph Coppinger now James Power suggests that the property previously occupied by Joseph Coppinger is now occupied by James Power.

Many of the names are typical of the two counties:   Kennedy, Mara, Power, Lonergan,  while others are unusual such as Fling, Skelton, Coppinger and Tredenham.  Further information on any of these families may be found in our publication Sources for Irish Family History 2021.   It contains listings of articles, books and other published sources on over 2,500 Irish families.
