Description: Claire Santry's Irish Genealogy News
RootsIreland.ie has uploaded 579 Lease Abstracts for the Manor and Lordship of Monaghan. They span 1679–1810.
These leases not only name the people who have agreed the lease, they often include mention of other people and their properties. As such they are a useful census sustitute for the county.
For an example of the records provided in this small collection, I ran a search this morning for surname Smyth and found a lease drawn up by the Earl of Clermont in July 1792; it related to the townland of Nart in the civil parish of Kilmore.
