Place & story
Ownership and succession
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates research records George Battersby QC holding the 331-acre townland of Carrick in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, published in 1854. It identifies the parish as Saint Mary’s in Westmeath. George’s holdings extended beyond the county: the account records estates in Meath and Wexford as well. When he died in 1880, his second son, John Radcliffe Battersby of Loughbawn, succeeded him. This is a history of the family’s landholding and succession, rather than a claim that all its properties lay within Carrick. [2]
