Place & story
Tinny Park’s recorded occupants
Tinny Park stands in Corrastoona Beg townland, Drumatemple civil parish, County Roscommon. The Landed Estates database records T. T. Byrne as occupant in 1837 and Hugh Burns as holding the property in fee in the mid-1850s, when its valuation was £11. Those entries distinguish occupancy from tenure and assessed value; they do not establish that the valuation was an annual rent. [2]
An advertisement in 1868
The associated estate record identifies an 1868 advertisement concerning part of Ballycaher, also given as Bellacagher, in Drumatemple parish. It names members of the Byrne family and the trustees Hugh O’Beirne and Hugh McDermott in connection with the will of Hugh Gerald Byrne. The advertised rental is evidence of a proposed sale, rather than proof here of its completion or of a transfer of Tinny Park itself. [3]
