Spotted them, in 1901 they lived next door but one to the Allens that I am interested in. Imagine, they would have known each other all those years ago!
The Farnhams did own a lot of Cavan Town although the question of Land ownership in Ireland is often a 'hot potato'. They certainly built and laid claim to many of the fancier buildings and roads although there doesn't seem to be as much evidence about the ownership of the slum areas of town, I wonder why ;-)

Hi Neli, apologies for hijacking an old thread, but I have just started to look into my family history, and I came across this post. My great great grandmother is Julia Allen from the Half Acre. She had a son, Peter Smyth (birth cert spells it Smith) with a Mathew Smyth in 1891. I wonder if you ever came across her name? She doesn't appear in the area on either the 1901 or 1911 census. If you had any info, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks, Frank
