Place & story
Annual support for a school
Samuel Lewis recorded approximately 100 children across two private schools in Kilteevan parish in 1837. Mrs Mapother contributed £5 annually to one of them. His account does not name that school or give Mrs Mapother’s first name, and the payment should not be treated as the school’s entire income. He separately identified Kiltiven House as the residence of J. E. Mapother. The entries record educational support associated with the Mapother name without establishing a particular relationship between the two people. [2]
