Place & story
A house in the records
University of Galway’s Landed Estates research places Hearnesbrook House in Hearnesbrook Demesne, within Killimorbologue parish. Eighteenth-century records associate it with the Hearn family, while an 1814 directory names Major Lyons as resident. George Hearn Kirkaldy occupied the property in the period of Griffith’s Valuation, following Lewis’s record of him there in 1837. Slater’s 1894 directory names A. J. Mackay. These entries document recorded occupation without establishing that every resident owned the property. [2]
