Mike, I would love to receive the information you hold.  Perhaps you could send it via the personal message line.  Alternatively l will advise my email address.
 With thanks,
Anniebelle

You can't send attachments with PMs (suspect that 33 pages of information would have to be sent that way) but you can certainly use PM to exchange email addresses (which you aren't allowed to post on the boards).

The 1863 notes are from the Ironmongers Company who were one of the local landlords and covers only their properties. A deputation from London would come over every few years to make inspections, etc. and the 1863 notes, which are wonderfully detailed, still survive. I have the 1863 notes and a 1886 tenants list which just gives name, acreage and rent.

I am interested in the Ironmongers Records. Could you tell me where you found them so I can look for them. I hope to visit PRONI in the fall and would like to see what I could find for Lisnascreaghog, near Brockaghbuoy. Thanks Sheila Macauley

Ironmongers' 1863 Notes are in London (Guildhall Library- at least that's where they were 25 years ago) but PRONI have copy on microfilm as far as I know. If you are interested in the Notes send me a PM with the names you want to check from Lisnascreagh.

Hello,
Have been looking for a copy of the book "The Name's McAlary" and I came across this page in my searchings. Does anyone know if the book is still available, if so, where can I get it?

Hi,
I think Drumgarra refers to Drumagarner site of the Catholic parish church in Kilrea.
