Dublin / Dublin Houses
« on: Sunday 17 April 11 10:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have a record for the christening of twins Jane Elizabeth and Harriett Grace Coates, Parents William Coates and Elizabeth Spencer. I know that Elizabeth is somehow linked to the Nugent family, this information is from Elizabeths will where she refers to Aunt Nugent. The house the twins were christened from is 22 Richmond Hill, Rathmines Dublin. This according to Griffiths in 1853 was owned by Mrs Nugent. Does anyone know how I can find out more information about Mrs Nugent, or who owned this house before then?
Many thanks
Anne

Hi
The abstract is from Elizabeths will, it reads"the sum of £567 at present retained by the Irish land Commission being two fifths of the value paid by them for my Pottagh Estate in Ireland"
Elizabeth died in 1898. I think that Henry Hervey Bruce must have brought the estate from the Land Commission before the Griffiths Valuation, after Elizabeth had sold it to them. I have tried the Land Commission but am trapped in a burocratic circle as I have no dates and no more evidence. I did find an old map from the 1830's on the web that did show Pottagh as an Estate, however I cannot find it again no matter how hard I search!
Any more ideas would be very helpful

Thanks for your help. The extract from Elizabeth Spencer Coates will that I have refers to the 'pottagh estate' I can however find no concrete link between Henry Hervey Bruce and the 'Nugent' family. This is all very confusing! Elizabeth was born in Portarlington in County Laois and I have not managed to find any details of her parents either.
I will keep looking, maybe a trip to Ireland is needed
Thanks again

Hi
Does anyone know who used to own the Pottagh Estate in the 1800's? It was left to a relative of mine Elizabeth Coates (nee Spencer) in a will by an Aunt Nugent sometime between 1816 and 1897. Elizabeth then sold it to the Government. We have no idea who Aunt Nugent was, any help would ne much appreciated.
Thanks
