Place & story
A Going family seat
Traverston was a Going family residence during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The University of Galway’s account identifies R. Going there in Wilson’s 1786 directory and Thomas Going in 1814 and 1837. Caleb Going occupied the property outright at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when its buildings were valued at more than £52. [2]
A later inheritance
John R. Lloyd occupied Traverston in 1906. He died unmarried in 1910 and left the property to his niece Ann Norris. The database records that the house has since been demolished. Its documentary history therefore preserves a sequence of occupation and inheritance for a building that no longer survives. [2]
