Sorry hit 'post' before I had finished.

I don't know if Rose Lodge still exists but it was situated within half a mile of Abbeyleix and within a quarter of a mile of the Rev Matthew Eaton's Academy for boys.  This Academy was at Bellview (the current name being BlackHills Yoga School.   As you can see from google maps BlackHills is very close to 'your Heath House'.

Mrs Suffield's and Miss Cramer's school was under the patronage of Viscountess DeVesci of DeVesci House, Abbeyleix and was bounded by the road leading from Abbeyleix to Mountrath and the demense of Lord DeVesci.

Hopefully one day our theory on Heath House will be solved.   Thank you again for your posts.

Hi Ramsin,

Thank you for you reply, Ramsin.   My ancestors, the Suffields and the Cramers, closed their school (maybe Heath House) at the beginning of 1831.  From a For Sale advertisement for Rose Lodge, Abbeyleix in 1830, the school was adjoining Rose Lodge.

Hello Ramsin,

I have only just viewed your post.   I am interested in Heath House, Ballacolla Rd, Abbeyleix as I believe it may have been Mrs Suffield's and Miss Cramer's Boarding School for Young Ladies between the years 1824-1830.  I have a record of a Tithe record in the name of Mrs Suffield of the Heath, Abbeyleix in 1826.

I am interested to know if you have confirmed your photo is actually Heath House on Ballacolla Rd?

Regards

JaniceS
