Viola, I knew someone could answer this. Thank you. Cecelia was actually Hugh McDonnell's daughter. Your answer clarifies the records for me. Janet In a message dated 3/27/2013 2:41:58 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, viola.wiggins(a)tesco.net writes: Janet The Colours are matched to the changes which took place and the year in the same colour . "In Fee" under the Immediate Lessor means that the occupier began his purchase of the plot under a LAP][Land Act Purchase"] either the Ashbourne or the Wyndham Act. Payment was made twice yearly over a number of years. The measurement of land was A=Acres R= roods P= poles or perches. 40 Perches or Poles= 1 Rood 4 Roods = 1 Acre [A Pole or Perch was 5.5 square yards]. Mary McAvenna was the initial occupier in Griffith's Valuation. The Year that Celia took over indicates the date Mary probably died or retired if it is only the given name that changed the Surname will be the same. ie. the Celia could be Mary's daughter if only Mary deleted and McAvenny left. "Reps of......." also indicates a death of the person, but who's legal iAdministration of the property has not been officialy completed. [Look for a will in that year or the following year]. The change from Celia to Hugh McDonnell could mean that Hugh married Celia Now if the Celia is in front of McDonnell it can be taken as Hugh's daughter. I hope this helps everyone follow the progression of changes of Occupiers/ Lessors. At a time between the initial Valuation and the year the updates ended the measuremments of the land changed from Irish to English and this is sometimes noted as well if it took place with altered measurements of the land. If the Occupier's name is followed by a given name, Jnr or Snr in brackets it might indicate a relationship between the two people in the same townland..
