Inquisition in Ulster - Latin Translation?

[Gilby]

Where did you get the family tree sketch you posted (1st post of the 2nd page)?  It looks like it is based on the version of the Stewart pedigree recorded in the Dobbs Report.

No!!!   Dobb's Report is compiled from Pedigrees he found!!

It looks like the Dobbs Report is based on the version of the Stewart pedigree which Betham had compiled and which were listed elsewhere and by McAnlis!! 

Dobbs has over 3500 names in his report, where do people think he got them from??

I’m sorry if I’m being a bit slow here, but I’m still not clear where you got the sketch tree from…?  You mentioned the GO collections, but there are about 100 books online for it (NLI), and I don’t know which one you were looking at.

I still think the sketch tree is drawn by someone making notes on the Dobbs’ Report.  The handwriting looks like Betham’s to me.

The Hutchinson Bequest had to go through Parliament in London... What Year??

It is possible that Dobbs hired Betham to do the research for Court Case!!

Lawyers etc don't run around even today researching Who is Who if they are trying to find descendants of people named in a Will that he is trying to probate!!

Hutchinson died in 1740.  The Dobbs report was done in the 1790s.  Betham didn’t come to Ireland till about 1805.

Francis Dobbs was married to one of the Stewarts, so that probably helped him.  A lot of the research seems to have been done by interviewing people about their families.

Must have been hectic, relatives to the 5th degree qualified!

It went on so long that is had to go to Parliament to try to get it changed so that it could be distributed and be dealt with.
