Place & story
Sale and subsequent tenancy
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database traces the McManus estate in Bohola back to at least the middle of the eighteenth century. Its account describes a 1,464-acre estate passing through the Encumbered Estates’ Court sale process in 1851: an initial sale was adjourned, and Mrs. Pery subsequently bought it. She leased the property to George Harkin. Purchase and occupation were therefore distinct events, rather than evidence that the buyer herself took up residence there. [2]
