Place & story
Uskane House in the valuation records
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database identifies R. Hall as proprietor of Uskane House in 1837. The Ordnance Survey Name Books recorded Mr. Kent as its resident in 1840. At Griffith’s Valuation the property was held in fee by Robert Hall’s representatives, with the house valued at £8. These entries distinguish the person living in the house from those holding the property; they do not establish that Mr. Kent bought it. [2]
