Hi all.
I am researching some information regarding confiscated land that was redistributed as payment to Cromwellian soldiers. I have located several references online but am unsure where to look for further information.
One record is from the appendix listing that I found in the source shown in the attachment. The [Appendix to Reports of the Sub-commissioners - 4. Surveyor General's office]
The record refers to a 'report and schedule' and is listed as being located in Folio 70.
Where should I look to locate this folio - National Archives of Ireland or somewhere else?
Another records states 'Inrolled....1668'. Can anyone clarify what this means? Are there any associated records perhaps to investigate?
Thanks, Katharine.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to recall some very similar queries years back. Was that you?

It has definitely been discussed before on RC at various dates and with levels of information. Here is one thread.

My gt grandfather a Protestant from Nenagh, with a Welsh-sounding surname is reputed to have been desended from a soldier in Cromwell's army. His daughter, my grandmother, from a mixed marriage but brought up Roman Catholic, was absolutely horrified when we found this out in research around the time of her 100th birthday.
I guess i could look at some of these links for the names we have.
ETA Katharine75 was one of those posting on the thread I have just linked to.
Also this has some names

Yes, I would have posted similar queries about it on here. BUT, I just want to know where I can locate the folio.
I'd rather not post 'names' associated with my query in this instance as I don't want to waste people's time with references that I already have.
I have located the person of interest in Penders Census of 1659 and on the Down Survey website. I know where there land was located. I know who held it originally. I know that they served as a soldier in Cromwell's army and that is how they took ownership of the land in Ireland. Just yesterday I found a document that clarified the soldier was not one of those from 1649 owed payment, but served after this date. I also found the document with the folio number.
I am aware that in lieu of payment the soldiers were given the confiscated land. This was done through a lottery system and recorded, and from what I have seen the relevant record should have a location in England for my soldier.
Hope that clarifies why I have asked for specific information only, and I appreciate any assistance given.

Why not start by checking NAI online catalogue?

The University got back to me after doing my lookup in the book and no luck.
As for National Archives, I did use their catalogue and type in some of the keywords used in the sources but couldn't find anything that looked like it would be it. But, in saying that I am not entirely sure what the original record would be listed as, or if they would hold it.

I have submitted a query with the Archives and will await their reply.
