Place & story
Bushy Park in the parish
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database identifies Bushy Park in Kilshanahan parish, Barrymore, near Rathcormac. John Walsh occupied the house in 1814. By the early 1850s, Richard G. Campion was resident and held the property from Major Heliger Lloyd; the buildings were valued at eighteen pounds and fifteen shillings. William Moore Hodder occupied it in 1906. These records distinguish residents from the person through whom the property was held, without establishing a single uninterrupted family ownership. [2]
