Hi caoihmin have you registered with the Irish newspaper Archives yet I’ve found it a useful source, you could search ‘Peter Austin’ &other family names. Also if they went to national school here then the National Folklore Collection also online is a great way to find out about people of the district and townlands etc, good luck!

Hi 👋 I’m following the Bird family who were living at Slanduff early 1900s. The father Patt Bird was working as a shepherd at the Austin estate.

Hi my first post but I’m interested in the Kentstown/Slanduff chat. I’ve just found out that a Patrick Bird (Byrd) was herdsman at Slanduff. He’s living there with Margaret Parker his wife and children during the 1901 and 1911 census. Landlord was Mr.Peter Austin. Any further info guys please? Cheers.
