I thought the Vandeleurs gambled away their land in the mid 1830s? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralahine
Caoimhghin,
According to the article you linked, that would be correct.
Best wishes, Kieran
Dear Caoimhghin:
Thank you for your comment on the message board. The Vandeleurs have been researched and discussed through the Kilrush District Historical Society, and it may be worthwhile contacting them and looking at their website for any further historical information. Their website contact is: http://kdhs.ie/
All the best,
Jane
