Title: Tyrone Land Grants - 1611 through 1667
Post by: JonBoody on Tuesday 01 March 22 14:36 GMT (UK)

Hello,

Does anyone know if any of the land grant documents from James I, Charles I or Charles II (about 1611 - 1667) still exist, and if so, where they can be found? I am studying the early ownership of a number of townlands in Tyrone and I was thinking perhaps the actual grant documents might hold more information than the abstracts that I am finding. Is there any chance these might be safely held in Scotland or Ireland, as opposed to burned in Dublin in 1922?

Thank you.

Does Proni have any useful records?

Thank you for the replies.

PRONI does actually have copies of at least one of the grants I am looking for, and I have placed an order with them for a digital copy. The more I've been looking the more I believe the original copies were lost in 1922. Still, if at least a copy of one still exists, perhaps others do as well somewhere.

I was unable to find anything in Family Search, although it's possible I am just not searching properly.
