Title: Help wanted with land grants????
Post by: Katharine75 on Monday 21 June 10 03:11 BST (UK)

Hi.

I am looking for someone with a bit of knowledge about land grants in County Wexford in the 1600s to advise me. I have a potential ancestor listed on Pender's census, and another reference where he seems to be listed as a soldier of the Commonwealth in Ireland.

I assume his land grant was payment for service in army.

Can anyone tell me where to go for more information etc?

You should of course consult your copy of the "Civil Survey' for Co. Wexford.

Yours, etc.
