THE TENANTS OF de ROS 1874 A Landlord's List of Tenants, their rents and personal comments on them. Introduction.

The book I publish below is in private hands, and I am grateful to the owner for permission to publish same. It is written in a well-bound notebook with "Occupation List" on the cover. Inside the cover the words "Occupation List" are repeated with "(revised July 1874)" below. I publish the first half of that book. Clearly the book was re-written about 1878, but n o date is given. In fact some items of information about the tenants has been written into the first section of the book, rather than the second, although clearly the event being noted occurred after 1878. Perhaps the first section was seen to be too cluttered with additional information, and for this reason the book was re-written so soon. The previous Occupation List was written in October 1862. That book is also in private hands, but a photocopy of it has been deposited in the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland [T1588 -Strangford Estate Book] All three books refer to a map for the identification of the holding. No such map has survived to my knowledge, after the records of the Landlord were destroyed in the fire at Old Court about 1920.However, about the same time as the 1862 Book was being compiled, Griffith's Valuation was being carried out and the holdings mapped fr identification. Reference therefore to the holdings as identified by Griffith's Valuation will identify the holdings to which the various comments in this book refer. For ease of reference the PRONI reference is Griffith's Valuation Union of Downpatrick VAL/2D/3/1 T.2933/4/241 Griffith's Map. THE ESTATE AND ITS LANDLORD Dudley Charles XXIV Baron de Ros was born on 11 March 1827 and died on 29 April 1907. During the entire period covered by these three Occupation Lists he was the landlord. These were traumatic times for lamdlords in Ireland.In the wake of the famine years of 1845-49 agrarian discontent came to a head. Attempts at land reform in 1853 were defeated in Westminster, and all seemed safe and secure. Then Deasy's Act in 1860 began

the process of radically altering the feudal relationship between landlord and tenant. A series of Land Acts followed culminating with the land Purchase (Ireland) Act 1897 by which the Land Commission was empowered to puchase the estates of landlords compulsorily and to sell the individual holdings to the tenants. Viewed from his ancestrial home at Old Court, Strangford Co.Down, Lord de Ros saw the collapse of a way of life that had supported his family for more than 24 generations. His estate in County Down comprised much of the town of Strangford, and the adjoining townlands with two isolated townlands of Bonecastle and Castlescreen added thereto. This is an area of about 2,670 acres ( 1650 Irish Plantation Acres) producing an income of some 3,500 per annum, no small sum in those days. de Ros had other estates and other income. His agent resided in Dundalk, Co.Louth. However, to assist in the collection of the rents and the management of the Strangford estate a Sub-Agent was employed locally.
