Down / Re: Location of "Sheepland", Manor of Newtownards
« on: Friday 13 November 15 11:00 GMT (UK)  »
I am now reasonably certain that the small townland of Sheepland or Sheep Park is now subsumed in the townland of Whitespots. In the list of County Down freeholders, PRONI reference D654/A3/1Q, 'the situation of freehold' of a David Boyd living in Whitespots is described as 'Sheep Park in Whitespots'.
(I am afraid that the map in PRONI referred to by Ballyaltikilligan did not prove helpful.  It shows the townland itself but not its context.  it doesn't for example show physical features or have the names of adjacent townlands which might have helped to locate it.)

My interest is in the Sheepland listed as being a townland in the Manor of Newtownards.  Sheeplandbeg and Sheeplandmore are at the far end of Strangford Lough.

Down / Location of "Sheepland", Manor of Newtownards
« on: Friday 24 January 14 11:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
"Sheepland” is listed as one of the townlands in the Manor of Newtownards, part of the Londonderry estate.  Does anyone know its precise location?
Also, I am wondering whether "Sheepland" is synonymous with the land known as "Sheep Park" apparently near Bangor which was leased by members of the Bryson family of the Cotton in the late 1700s and early 1800s.  Can any one help?

My apologies, Aghadowey.  I should have thought to have looked up the census for Dunlady before commenting on this topic. 
I have checked with my mother and these Lowrys in Dunlady are not a family that she remembers.

I wonder if mmcc can say which house is being referred to as "5 Dunlady Road" and in which townland it lay.  My mother can recall the families living on Dunlady road between the wars, a number of which were recorded in the 1901 and 1911 censuses.

Wexford / Re: Miller family in Wexford
« on: Thursday 20 September 12 21:23 BST (UK)  »
I am grateful for this information and leads to follow up.
I only quite recently learned (and not from family sources) that my Millers might have a Palatine connection. Sadly the Miller surname is not, in itself, diagnostic as it has English and Scots sources as well.
The family Christian names, although anglicized, would, I think, be consistent with a Palatine background.  I have in mind Matthew and Jacob and later a Hubert.
(PS If I don't respond quickly to further comments, it is because I am away from my computer for a few days.)

Wexford / Re: Miller family in Wexford

I am afraid that my Miller knowledge is sketchy. I know that my Millers farmed between New Ross and Inistioge and the male descendant is recorded at Ballycocksoost in the 1901 census.
As to Henry (the father of Jacob baptised at Inistioge), I had thought that he might have been the Henry recorded in the Griffith's valuation in the townland of Killeen but he would have been getting on a bit in age.
As regards Enniscorthy, it would be about 20 miles away from where the Millers were farming, well within possible social distance even in the early 1800s.
My oldest known Miller, the father of Matthew and Henry (and  grandfather of Jacob) was probably Henry Miller.  I have no date for him but believe that his sons, Matthew and Henry both married in January 1799.

Wexford / Re: Miller family in Wexford

I have only now come across this thread.
I have a hand written transcript of Miller baptismal records from the Church of Ireland parish of Inistioge, Co Kilkenny (which is close to New Ross and Co Wexford).  These include Jacob, baptised 3 April 1814.  He is shown as the son of Henry and Elizabeth.  (Actually the transcript shows "Mary" not "Henry" but as Henry and Elizabeth were having children before and after 1814, I think it safe to make the assumption that a mistake has been made.)
I believe that Elizabeth's maiden name was Flood.
I am descended from Henry's brother, Matthew, whose wife was Elizabeth's sister, Mary, and would be interested in following up a Palatinate connection if there is more information to be had.
As to sistera's query about the words in square brackets, this means: Religion - Episcopalian; age - 24 years; can read and write.
