Thanks Hanes and Hallmark ....another of Maj Denis daughters accounted for ....I had read about the false Maj Denis will (a Captain Bingham initiated it but was supposedly authorised by William)..... I'm trying to translate the Gailic text ..all dutch to me ....I dont know of 1818 with Nash family other than family allowed to live rent free near Castle and one of daughters to marry young Denis in 1846.

Sketches in Erris seems a good read .. was it set about 1830s ... Gives a good description of Maj Denis ... his military stance and landlord stature at least until the town of Belmullet took away any wealth left at Binghamstown.... no love lost between Catholic Priest Lyons and him at the time .....still looking at Dublin for Williams birth ?? .. Thanks

Hi Hallmark... are you thinking Denis to be born in England not Ireland ??

[hanes teulu]

A member of the Nash family sued Denis Bingham in 1811.... WHY??

Saunder's Newsletter, 5 Dec 1811

"... On 2nd October 1809, Mr Nash. likewise of Mayo and, it would appear, likewise a magistrate, was taken into custody on information sworn before Mr Bingham by Atkinson, a revenue officer .... No ____  ? of indictment could be founded upon the informations, and he was, of course, discharged ...".

" ...Mr Nash then made application to the Crown of King's Bench for a conditional order for a criminal offence against Mr Bingham for malicious arrest and imprisonment ..."

"The sentence of the Court, ..... , was that Mr Bingham should pay to the King a fine of 300l, be imprisoned three calendar months and give security to be of the peace, himself in 100l and two sureties of 500l ..."

Hayes found the information below
Rank - Lieutenant
Name - Denis Bingham
Date entered rank in Regiment - 30 May 1788

Wiki mentions the regiment being transferred to the Irish establishment 1746 (known then as the Duke of Shrewsbury's Regiment of Horse) and transferred to the British establishment 1788 as the 5th regiment of Dragoon Guards.

Seems to be a British unit operating in Ireland .... read a piece in your attachment "Sketches in Erris" that the author was relating a story of Denis in uniform on a grey charger in 1799... author stated a Brigade Major of Yoemanry who came from Sligo ..... we have found a commission of Lt only so far.... the story describes an incident four years after establishing Binghamstown as a landlord... a bit confusing
