Re: 1841 census
In Response To: 1841 census ()

Just had a quick look at your census pages 7 & 8 for Marown District 1. Looks like Ballafreer to me. Perhaps someone with a map may be able to help you with location. The named properties (i.e not out houses) on those pages are in this order - Ballaclucas Cottage, Ballaclucas Farmhouse, Trolaby Farm House, Ballafreer House, Trolaby Cottage. However, p.10 also has, after Brook Moor House, Ballafreer Cottage, Balla Hutchin Cottage and Ballafreer House.

The initials F.S. (just the fancy writing of the time, not Fr) stand for Female Servant.
