Miscellaneous Legal Documents.

Illustrated below are some of the former solicitors office documents we have in our archive. We welcome more of the same: Please contact us.

 

The oldest document currently in our collection. A legal document dating from 1706. For hearing in the House of Lords in February 1706. An attempt by one Hyacinth Pilley, Gent. to have lands near Ballybeg, Co. Roscommon restored to him. The land was then in the names of Hugh & Katherine Madden and Hyacinth wanted the land back. We don't know if he succeeded, but the Pelleys / Pilleys are not now in the area or in Co. Roscommon. The name can be found in south-east Galway.
