Drumlamph House

[overmann]

I am trying to find Drumlamph House.  It is in the Castledawson area and may be another name for Fairview.  The Henry family lived at Fairview in the early/mid 1800's and my ancestors the Manns lived there in the late 1800's.  Both families also have a connection to Drumlamph House.

There are no Manns listed in Griffith's Valuation (mid 1800s) in Drumlamph townland although there were Manns in the area.

1861 R.John Henry, Fairview, Castledawson was a magistrate-

Here's a bit of the history of Drumlamph townland-

You'll see from other pages on George's site that there are Manns listed on Castledawson War Memorial, etc. There's a link to contact him at top of page and he should have more information on Drumlamph and Manns.

Thanks aghadowey, the history of Drumlamph townland is very interesting.  The period I am looking at is about 1875 to 1910.  My gt grandfather Henry Church Mann was also a JP and magistrate and later the Baronial High Constable for Loughinsholin.  He gave his address as Drumlamph House, Castledawson on children's birth certificates, correspondence and his will, however, the Ulster Towns Directory lists it as Fairview.  I have seen Fairview House but have been unable to find any evidence of a Drumlamph House except for his references and a couple of references in postings about the Henry family (who had also lived at Fairview).  I was hoping to find if it still exists.  I'll try contacting George.

My ancestors, the Henry family, lived at Dumlambf House 'till the 1860's. 

Could Fairview have been the house's original name – I certainly have family documents which mention both Fairview and Drumlambf? 

Rev Robert Henry died 1/11/1802 at Fairview
John Henry, who died in Virginia in 1809, was baptised at Fairview 11/11/1761
My great X3 grandfather, James Henry died at Fairview 24/11/1850
And my great X2 grandfather Capt Robert John Henry certainly owned the house when he died in 1866, the Letters of Administration states: "Robert John Henry late of Drumlambf House in the County of Derry". 

Capt R J Henry presented a paper to the Dublin scientific community in which he described his deep concern at the pitiable condition of the workers employed on his farm and his attempts to improve their diet. Ref:  Dublin Quarterly Journal of Science, Vol IV, Pages 83-85, Published 1864
