Caledon House

[Janice M]

Hoping someone can help.

Are there any local records that would show photos and/or staff records for Caledon House?

I am looking for information on my 2 x's great-grandparents William Gordon & Elizabeth Wylie, along with their children. William was a coachman and it is believed that he worked for the Alexander family of Caledon House.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Janice

p.s. - I have also posted on the Antrim site in the hopes that someone will have access to PRONI.

Thank you both. ( I meant to say thank  you for both posts showing the links) (lol)
I have attached a portion of the Ireland, Griffith’s Valuation, 1847-1864
It shows my William Gordon at the bottom.
Could this be on the estate, or would this have been separate?

Thank you.

They owned the town and looks like he was renting estate house in the town...
