VALUATION OF TENEMENTS
PARISH OF KILDRESS
For the townland of Ballynasollus on pages 96 & 97 of the valuation records.
The Ballinasollus townland, Kildress Parish were part of the Stuart Estates.
Occupiers Immediate Lessors Description of Tenement A R P
David Frazer Earl of Castlestuart House, office, land with 2 Cottiers houses 14 2 0
as you can see David Frazer had three areas of land second area 13 2 0
third area 14 2 30
William Frazer Earl of Castlestuart House, office & land 25 1 30
John Frazer Earl of Castlestuart House, office & land 24 3 0
as you can see John Frazer had two areas of land second area 5 1 30
These records show three brothers resident at Ballinasollus - while the earlier 1766 Religious Census shows only one Fraser resident, which leaves us with a time gap of 70 years or so which has yet to be investigated.
