FMP has details of the case

[Pincera54]

Now that is a strange one as I have the only daughter of Thomas Pope, Harriet Pope of Popefield married to

1. William Pitt Blundon in 1813, she had 3 children
2. Henry Herbert in 1822, she had 8 children

One to look into

Popefield was an Encumbered Estate so it was sold, some of the Popes went to live with my relatives at Rheban Castle and some at Skerries House.

The Lease and Release document I referred to in an earlier post was for land in KILLENEGARD where Popefild was located.

Have you checked FMP - plenty of focus on the case?

Have you checked FMP - plenty of focus on the case?

Yes, the case very similar to many of the Encumbered estates that were put up for sale around that time, they borrowed money against the land and events didn't turn out well, the Potato famine and its knock effects played a big part.

Thomas H Pope was in so much debt he disappeared to Australia where he died in 1884.

I find that the Deeds registry is very good for leads, the Irish are always very careful about land you probably know this but I will post the link for anyone in the future
