Edward Nelson

I learned Edward’s name from the marriage certificate of his son John Nelson and Letitia Kells (27 July 1874)

Griffith’s Valuation of 1860 shows Edward in townland of Aughnacloy, Parish of Drumsnat, Monaghan. He is a tenant of the Earl of Clonmell, leasing Land of 12 acres 10 perches valued annually at £8 15s, and house & buildings of 7 perches valued at 1s for the house and 14s for the buildings.

Edward is also a landlord to Edward Connolly, leasing house and gardens of 20 perches valued annually at 3s for land and 12s for buildings.
