Other Dublin

- Find source for the Richard Yeilding entry in
[Dublin directory, 1738].
- This is a special modern compilation from various sources.
- Think the Richard Yeilding entry
is NOT from Watson's Almanack.
It has no general list of people at this stage.
- The Richard Yeilding entry
might be from the collection of bail bonds of Apr-Sept 1738.
Now in DCA.
- GROI
-
It could be random if any Kerry people would mention our story in a letter around 1806.
-
If a son of Rowland Blennerhassett had an affair with a servant,
probably no one outside the family would mention it.
-
If a daughter of Rowland Blennerhassett had an affair,
it would be a big scandal, and
almost any Co.Kerry family might mention it in gossip.
- McGillycuddy papers.

- Papers of
Browne, Viscount Kenmare.

James Crosbie, MP, of Ballyheigue,
- James Crosbie was patron of Rowland Blennerhassett (1st Baronet after 1809).
- Search for letters from and
about Rowland Blennerhassett, especially around 1804-1809.
- In turn, James Crosbie's patron was his cousin
John Crosbie, 2nd Earl of Glandore
(succ 1781, died 1815).
- So might be worth searching
Glandore papers
for Rowland Blennerhassett references.
- James Crosbie entry in historyofparliamentonline
has more references.

[BL].
