Place & story
A house in Ballytrasna
At Ballytrasna in Templenacarriga parish, Timothy O’Regan occupied a house and other buildings held from John Courtenay at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database gives their valuation as more than £19. It notes that the first Ordnance Survey map did not show a house with a demesne in that townland, without assigning a precise construction year. [2]
The name on the later map
The database places the Ballytrasna House label on the 1890s twenty-five-inch map in neighbouring Glenawillin. O’Regan also leased that property from the Courtenay estate, with a valuation exceeding £5 at Griffith’s Valuation. It had become more substantial by the 1890s. The account distinguishes two locations, rather than tracing a single building through both sets of records. [2]
