Place & story
A lease in Beagh townland
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record places Birch Grove in Beagh, also labelled Beagh Brabazon, in Creagh parish. At Griffith’s Valuation, Thomas Brabazon leased the property to Ellen O’Shaughnessy, with a valuation of £10. The survey separately records J. O’Shaughnessy as resident in 1837 and J. J. O’Shaughnessy in 1894. Their initials do not establish that these were the same person or explain their relationship to Ellen. The survey records a house surviving at the site. [2]
