Congratulations Leanne! 😃

Oooh. Super interesting. I will have a look to see if I come across McMahon evictions. What makes you say “mass” evictions?

Thanks Ciarán! I’ve been at this for a long while now. The end is in sight :) Earliest date is 1568. What’s your theory? Would love to hear more.

Looking forward to kicking off my Bath Estate Lecture Series 21 August for Heritage Week 😬 #carrickmacrossworkhouse

My annual research trip to @longleatofficial.bsky.social private archives to work on my ‘Irish’ Bath Estate book (Co. Monaghan) is now 10 years in the making - and nearing completion. This walk in the morning helps with inspiration ❤️

If I come across them - I’ll be sure to let you know :)

Thanks for getting in touch! I’m doing the family tree to better understand the influences on JBS so would love to hear more about your connection. Not my family relations but fascinated all the same :)

This is fabulous! Congratulations Leanne. Can’t wait to read it 😊

You too Siobhan!
