Place & story
Marriage and residence
The Landed Estates database records John Hornidge as living at Calverstown in County Westmeath. In 1838 his son George James Hornidge married Jane, daughter of Robert Matthews of Killare House. The marriage connected the Calverstown family with another Westmeath landed household; it does not establish that the couple were born at either residence. [2]
Land beyond the townland
By the mid-1870s George James Hornidge of Calverstown was recorded as owning 582 acres in Westmeath. The database separately lists John Hornidge of nearby Dalystown with 177 acres. These are county landholding figures associated with named owners, rather than measurements of the present Calverstown townland. The place belongs to Clonfad parish and should be distinguished from Calverstown village in County Kildare. [2]
