Ireland / Re: Index to Irish Wills 1484-1858: Where to find the wills?
« on: Tuesday 24 November 20 20:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,

I have only indexed pre-1858 wills from https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/225052?availability=Family%20History%20Library

That catalogue overlaps with https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/3590?availability=Family%20History%20Library Some of the salvaged wills and early post-1922 submissions appear in three different catalogues!

They are all indexed at https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1047420?availability=Family%20History%20Library Eight volumes of 6000+ card index pages These point to:
*"T" references in catalogue 225052 eg https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH8-T3YG?i=4062&cat=1047420
*abstracts by Gertrude Thrift, these are at https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/234649?availability=Family%20History%20Library, try cross-referencing https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH8-R3Y3-Y?i=4065&cat=1047420
*the Will Books and Grant Books - including the ones not on-line

PS I've updated the list of pre-1858 wills, I missed a batch of 45 Armagh wills.

Prerogative Will Books: 1664—1684, 1706—1708 (A—W), 1726—1728 (A—W),  1728—1729 (A—W), 1777 (A—L), 1813 (K—Z), 1834 (A—E) are at https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/466810?availability=Family%20History%20Library

I've attached a list of pre-1858 wills from the post-fire submissions to the NAI, easily imported into Excel. The later ones are too numerous for me to have time to record.

Thrift's "Indexes to Irish wills" are available via https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/?navigation=&perpage=&page=1&sort=_score&search=Indexes+to+Irish+wills&fulltext=1&bookmarks=0#title Volumes 4 & 5 have the northern dioceses.

The IGRS has quite a few Swanzy and Welply abstracts at https://www.irishancestors.ie/members-area/irish-wills-the-igrs-card-index/

I may have missed this but has anyone looked at the Stewart Will Abstracts at the NAI? See https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSNR-W9GL-M?i=494&cat=225052

Have you tried the Rent Ledgers at http://www.muckrosshouseresearchlibrary.ie/Rent-Ledger-5H-1874.php

Despite the date this ledger starts in 1885.

Catherine Elizabeth White, born 25th November 1781, to Newport White and Harriet Davis. Married Benjamin Newport White, died 28th November 1862.

That one is Tipperary.

Looking at what I think was the original document you googled, these look like claims under Act of Settlement and Act of Explanation. The document at https://www.jstor.org/stable/29742632 lists some of the cases in the north of Ireland. Which county did your ancestor have property in?

BTW have you look at Pender's "census"?

PS joining JSTOR is free and their COVID-special terms allow you to look at 100 documents per month.

Have you tried the State Papers at https://archive.org/details/cu31924091770861/page/n575/mode/2up/? It might show the original land grant.

If it was queried under the Act of Settlement or Act of Explanation it might appear in the later versions:
•1660-1662 - https://archive.org/details/calendarstatepa00mahagoog/page/n7
•1663-1665 - https://archive.org/details/calendarstatepa12offigoog/page/n4
•1669-1670 - https://archive.org/details/cu31924091769590/page/n4

..and if was still unresolved in 1699 when Annesley and co. got to work then the Chichester House claims would be the next thing to look at especially if you can get into a Family History Center and look at the Tenison Groves collection. Next in line after would be the Register of Deeds Land Index for the relevant county, though that only started in 1708.

Many apologies if you've already tried these.
