Research notes

LILY ROYCROFT'S LINE; Judy Wight (21 Jul 1979) named this couple as Lily's great-grandparents. A by-license marriage = money; fits the 62-acre farm. The Wolfe sponsors below confirm the wiring. VALUATION BOOKS (captured Jul 2026): 'Currane' (= Corran) lot 1; ~~JOHN~~ / THOMAS / WILLIAM DAMERY, 67a jointly from Francis Woodley, £51 incl. tithes, ~31-yr lease with '17 years taken' (→ let ~1832-35), 'live together in one house', ⅓ each; the household in the flesh: John struck in revision, Thomas & William continuing. The WM DAMERY sponsoring below = the co-resident William. Whether the struck John is THIS John (alive 1854; struck ≠ dead; possibly moved to Kilmeen orbit) or his father the 1829 tithe-holder is OPEN. Test: Woodley estate papers, lease ~1832-35.

Source: Kilmeen register (seen by Judy Wight, 1979); Ballymoney registers; tithe 1829 (a John Dammery held 62 acres at Corran; the largest Damery holding anywhere; same man or his father ?)
