I visited PRONI on Tuesday 18th to try and find the Trust Deed which the Dept of Agriculture say is deposited there. Search of database in PRONI and examination of a few likely looking files (judging by their titles) produced no results. Another file is held off site by PRONI and will have to be fetched in meaning another visit. I also examined records of Landed Estates and found a number of entries under the married names of the Batt granddaughters who transferred the land to the tenants. These will be followed up on the next visit as I was running short of time.

I also visited the Belfast Newspaper Library (click to find map) to follow up on information from Downpatrick but I didn't have the correct date so will need to back there too. The Newspaper Library is a useful asset as it has copies of numerous local newspapers going back several years both on microfilm and in folders.
