Title: Lord Boyne estate
Post by: Gortinanima on Saturday 07 April 18 10:37 BST (UK)
I am searching a Campbell family from Donegal, Ireland who were tenants on Lord Boyne's estates in Co Donegal.

Family tradition has it that a John Campbell died in England having gone there with Lord Boyne and became (his) steward” - no date is given but it seems to have been in the early to mid 1700s -- so not sure of the accuracy of this oral history.

Anyone have knowledge of the Boyne family history in Shropshire in this time period?

Yes, that's the same family.

Is Stanton Lacy near Shrewsbury where John Campbell died?
