Ireland, Exchequer Court of Equity, What are they?

You might find out more detail in newspaper reports and also entries in the Dublin Gazette, if you are lucky, from the time. Records of old Irish newspapers might be found on Findmypast's newspaper archive (i.e. the British Newspaper Archive), Hathitrust, and in the Irish Virtual Treasury. Note though coverage of the Dublin Gazette there is still an ongoing project, the version on the British Library Burney 17th and 18th century newspaper collection is more currently complete but only accessible at academic institutions. It is also on Findmypast between 1750-1800 but it is not clear exactly what the coverage is. Note in all cases though that if you think something might be there it may pay to browse manually as the OCR misses a lot of text especially the sort of small text legal cases are reported in the Gazette. But if you do find something mentioned, places and specific family details and relationships may be explained. You may also find other legal records on the Treasury.

Thanks melba schmelba, I have my sights set on a Find My Past subscription but will wait out my subs on two other sites first,- money, money money. What I have-some distant DNA links to O'Callaghan Hyde Holmes, Born 1805 in Kinsale. He had emigrated to Quebec but needed to return to Ireland 'to settle an estate' and he died en-route from cholera. This family definitely has Quaker connections, so Find my Past is in my future LOL.

Thanks, yes, these are the scans that are used on the Irish Virtual Treasury, which on the Oireachtas Library site go from 1750-1815

But a few years that seem complete are unfortunately almost half illegible as double page spreads were scanned together at the same focal length meaning one side is mostly blurred. But that collection has many years that the British Library Burney Newspaper Collection is missing, although the British Library collection has some much earlier issues going back to 1706, so really you need to consult both sources (I am not sure if the Findmypast collection is one or the other, or another entirely) if you want to be sure you are doing a as complete as you can search  .
