Is anyone going to the NLI and could do a quick lookup for me, that might result in a 200 year old brick wall???
Family lore says a Captain WILKINSON fought in Sir Hardress WALLER'S regiment in the mid-1600's and was granted land in Bantry, Wexford (source:
Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland by Prendergast).
The Books of Survey and Distribution record ownership before the confiscations, and who the new proprietors were. This, I assume, should list Captain Wilkinson. I'm wondering if the
The Books of Survey and Distribution mentions his actual name and maybe any other details?
The Books for several counties are online, alas, not for Wexford, hence this request.
Here's the catalogue reference:

Thank you so much in advance if you can help!
Cheers,
Tim Wilkinson
