Description

The Northampton estate was owned by the Mahon family who built Northampton House. Portions of the estate were offered for sale in the Encumbered estates courts in 1851. The portion including the house was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in June 1865. It was purchased by Mr. Murray for over £1100. The OS Name Books record James Mahon of Northampton as a middleman for the estate of Arthur Alexander of Gort on lands in the parish of Ardrahan in the 1830s.

Hi there

I live on the site of the old Northampton estate in Kinvara. We moved in here about 16months ago the site of the old estate house is owned by my financees family.

I see you mention your great grandmother was Emily Mahon from Northampton Kinvara. This is very interesting for me as I have being trying to investigate as much about the northampton estate as possible and the Mahon and Murray families.

I have been desperately trying to find a sketch or photo of the old house but I have fallen short. I have also hit a wall in relation to what happened the families that lived here.

I would really appreciate if you could get back to me about any info you may have on Mahon family and Northampton or if I can give you information.

Hope to hear from you
Kind Regards
Tommy Nilan

Hi
I'm researching the Mahon family of Belleville Co Galway who appear to be connected to the Mahons of Northampton. James Mahon of Northampton was apparently the son of Thomas Mahon of Belleville from Thomas's first marriage to Sibella Lambert. It's Thomas's ancestry I'm interested in. He was supposedly the son of Bryan Mahon of Rindifin/Drumconert/Derrycourt/Lakefield, Gort, (not to be confused with Bryan Mahon of Castlegar), who was the son of Thomas, son of Patrick, son of Thomas Moghane/Mahon, related in some way to Mahon O'Brien of Clonuane (Cluain Dubhain) Castle Co Clare, who was killed there in 1586.
Does anyone have any information about Thomas Mahon of Belleville and his ancestors? I'm looking for documentation to confirm the lineage.
Many thanks.
Brid
