This is a selection of the rentals mentioned in the Casey Collection. In the main they are substantial tenants who would have worked some of the land themselves and in many cases sub let.
The Kenmare Estate was the Brownes/Herberts and was one of the few to remain in Catholic hands during the Penal Laws. It was probably O’Sullivan before the Confiscations.

I think Florence Sullivan, Daniel Cronin, et al. tie back to the clipping you have on some of the charged Fenians, interesting.
