The Papers

The collection which amounts to seventy—three boxes of material was deposited in the
National Library by Lord Mountcharles on loan in 1954 (Accession No. 1539). The
records mainly date from the early eighteenth century to the 1920s. The collection is by
no means complete; for example, most of the correspondence dates from about 1818-25,
and there are rentals for the same period and then a gap to the late nineteenth century.

While several of the Conynghams served as Members of Parliament and were in the
army there are no related papers and there are very few family or personal papers. There
are, however, a number of marriage settlements and some testamentary material

Most of the collection relates to estate administration (legal records, estate
correspondence, rentals and accounts etc). In county Donegal there were four distinct
estates (Boylagh, Mountcharles, the Rosses and Stranorlar), the county Meath estate was
centred around Slane and that in county Clare around Kilkee. There are also a number
of items relating to the Kent estate.

The legal records (which include settlements, mortgages, leases, Irish Land Commission
papers, and conveyances etc) are mainly in copy or draft form and in the case of the
latter are sometimes amended (occasionally heavily). Most of the legal records were
prepared by the family solicitors in London (John Benbow and later members of the
firm). Some of the records are in the names of trustees of the various estates (who were
sometimes related to the family).

The correspondence consists principally of letters from the estate agents and the 1“
Marquis to John Benbow, and deals almost exclusively with the day-to—day running of
the estates.

The collection includes early legal records relating to the Burton family in counties Clare
and Limerick (dating to the mid—seventeenth century) and the McCausland family, who
owned the manor of Stranorlar (dating to 1654). Hannah Conyngham married Rev.
Oliver McCausland in 1785. There are also a number of records relating to the manor of

Limavady/Newtownlimavady (dating to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries) and
lands in Wales.

There are a number of collections of Conyngham papers in other institutions, mainly
records relating to their English property from 1592 in the East Kent Record Office.3

Arrangement

The collection has been arranged in three subgroups (I) Estate administration, (II)
Family, and (111) Records with no obvious connection to the Conyngham family.

The subgroup ‘Estate administration’ has been broken down into records relating to the
estates in general and into the counties in which the family had land (and further broken
down into the places within each county). In the case of each of these the records have

3 See National Register of Archives


been divided into legal records, estate correspondence, rentals and accounts, and other
records.

In the subgroup ‘Family’ the records have been divided into a number of sections
including marriage and other settlements, testamentary records, correspondence and
accounts etc.

I. ESTATE ADMINISTRATION

This sub~group comprises records relating to the administration of the Conyngham
estates principally in counties Clare, Donegal (where there were four distinct estates),
Meath and Kent. The records include items relating to estates held by the Burton family
(Clare and Limerick) the McCausland family and the Stewart family (Donegal) and the
Aickin family (Meath). A considerable amount of the records are in the names of
trustees (who were appointed under the provision of various settlements and wills)
including Sir Theodore Brinckman, Arthur Lord Wrottesley, Arthur de Moleyns and
Frederick Ramsden (some of whom were related to the family). The records mostly date
from the early eighteenth century to the 1920s.

I.i.2. Estate correspondence and related items (Mss 35,344 — 6)

The correspondence dates from 1794 to c.1925, mostly from 1819 to 1827. It is
principally addressed to John Benbow (1 Stone Buildings, Lincolns Inn, London), who
was solicitor to the Conyngham family. Much of the correspondence is of a routine
nature: such as Conyngham‘s requests for appointments; letters relating to Marquis
Conyngham’s agents’ accounts and rentals; individual cases; petitions and applications
for situations. Much of the correspondence is by Henry, 15‘ Marquis Conyngham and
includes some letters addressed to him. There are also letters from Henry Joseph, Lord
Mountcharles (died 1824). The economic depression of the early 1820s is reflected in
the letters. The correspondence from 1827 is very sporadic and of a miscellaneous

nature. Except where stated the quotes are from letters from Marquis Conyngham to
John Benbow.

Ms 35,160 (1) Includes letter from John Benbow to Henry Viscount Conyngham
concerning the making of a trust deed (21 June 1795), and letter
relating to an advertisement ‘directing those who might have any

claim on the late Hon Burton Cunningham [sic] to send accounts’(5
July 1796); 7 letters.
1794-6

(2) Includes correspondence relating to the Shanagolden estate in
Limerick (1803); letter concerning fishing rights in the River Owea,
County Donegal and the action of the agent to Mr Murray’s estate
(17 May 1806); and papers as to the establishment of an Irish

mining company (1807); c.30 letters.
1803-08

(3) Correspondents include John Finlay, Dublin and Francis Mansfield.
Includes copy of letter from Col William Armstrong to C01
Browne, army agent, Dublin; and letter re provision for

Conyngham’s children (26 May 1816); 20 letters.

(4) Includes correspondence relating to recovery of revenue arrears
from James Montgomery, collector of customs for the district of
Killybegs (Conyngham was one of his sureties), 1817~21; letters
relating to Earl Llandaff’s bond (1818); letters from William
Armstrong re his claim for money for the price of the ‘ensigncy in
my company’ (Conyngham was commandant of the Londonderry
regiment); detailed letter from Francis Mansfield concerning the
River _Owea fishery, 2 June 1817, he refers to the award made by Sir
Arthur Forbes on 8 June 1672 ‘that each party shall have the right
of fishery within their respective proportions and if one should have
lands on the one side of the loughs and rivers and the other on the
otherside that each party shall have equal freedom and priviledge
(sic) of the said fishings’ and to the further award of 3 Oct 1674',

letter from George Pentland concerning Lord Ponsonby’s debt, (25
Sept 1818); 20 letters.

Ms 35,345 (1)

(2)

Includes references to the level of arrears on his estates;
Conyngham writes ‘you cannot be surprised at the great
astonishment I expressed at the arrears due to me on my estates in
Ireland’ (29 July) and ‘that the greatest mismangement seems to
have occurred in the collection at Stranorlar — shameful arrears also
in Boylagh and Mountcharles (5 Aug); circular as to the
appointment of clerks of the peace (20 Nov); and printed letter from
Association for Discountenancing Vice & Promoting Knowledge
and Practice of the Christian Relief re subscription; c. 30 letters
1819

Includes references to the election; Conyngham wrote ‘I am
informed Government seats are going very cheap. Pray make
private enquiries and let me hear from you on the subject as
probably Imight be tempted to purchase for Francis (second son
and later 2”’ Marquis) - of course you keep this perfectly secret’,
(13 Mar). He wrote in relation to Francis’s appointment that: ‘the
King did it in the most amiable and kind manner — unsolicited & tis
certainly the best appointment in his gift except the very tip top; I
like it as it fixes him about the King’s person’ (16 Apr); includes
letters from Lord Mountcharles re grant of land to the church at
Templecroan (sic) (4 Aug); Correspondence relating to Sir Henry
Montgomery; letters about rent levels and abaternents ‘I do not
recommend harsh measures to be adopted against my tenants but I
wish them to be punctual & industrious’ (12 Nov). Includes a letter
about Benbow’s employment in which Conyngham writes ‘I
certainly feel myself quite in the dark as to the state of my affairs in
Ireland. The agents are of course quite silent they neither remit as
formerly to me the rentals or accounts — I have frequently
mentioned to you I should not write to them on business’ (3 Dec); c.
50 letters.

1820

Correspondence as to person to value estate in County Donegal
applications; 11 letters.
1 820-1

Includes letters about the appointment of a sub-agent in

County Donegal, their duties etc; Lord Ponsonby’s affairs, (28 Jan);
and re James Montgomery's debt; 23 letters.

Jan—May 1821

Includes letters relating to the kelp industry; Conyngham wrote
‘what answer ought I send to the kelp memorial — Rogers certainly
deserves encouragement. He is an active bustling little man. Why
not establishment a company of  kelp fellows on my 900 acres
paying a kind of duty as rent. Rogers would be delighted to take the
land?’ 30 June 1821. He states that ‘I shall with pleasure give nine

17

(5)

(6)

thousand ggineas for Lord Shannon’s house and fixtures furnished’,
He refers to the fact that ‘the King has paid us a visit — and seems

quite delighted with Slane’, 29 Aug 1821; 17 letters.
J une-Sept 1821

Includes correspondence with reference to the purchase of O’Neills
estate in County Meath: ‘tis a most desirable purchase in point of
situation to Slane — and though £12,500 is a great sum we think it is
better to give it than lose the purchase’ (23 Nov; the figure of
£12000 is referred in a letter of 12 Dec). The economic difficulties
are mentioned in several letters; Lord Mountcharles writing from
Ennis states ‘the country is in a most lamentable situation nothing
but the most active exertions of the police can prevent a most
unpleasant winter. I have reason to believe that there are some
religious motives mixed up with a determination to resist the
payment of tithes and rents. I regret extremely that my father’s
tenants have been called upon to pay an increase of rent  the
impolicy of the measure during existing circumstances, ought to
receive some attention’ (28 Nov); some days later Conyngham
writes ‘Mountcharles still at Ennis  he gives a woeful account of
my tenantry — most of them ‘unable to pay actually starving & in
justice to them a general abatement in the rents ought to be made’
(12 Dec). Conyngham also writes of his appointment as a privy

I.ii.2. County Clare estate correspondence and related items (Ms 35,364 — 5)

The bulk of the correspondence dates from the early 1820s and is from Conyngham’s
local agent Robert Keane (Becchpark, Ennis). Most of the letters are addressed to John
Benbow (Marquis Conyngham’s solicitor) and to Henry, 1“ Marquis Conyngham. The
correspondence deals with the day—to—day administration of the estate. Subjects covered
are agent’s accounts, collection of rent and arrears, proposals for the abatement of rent,
holdings falling out of lease, and recommendations as to who should be the new lessee
(with character references). There are also a number of petitions from tenants. The state
of the county and the economic depression of the early 1820s are commented on. There
are some references to Conyngham’s estate in County Limerick. The later items include
presscuttings and letters concerning landlord tenant relations in Kilkee (1866) which
were the subject of a pamphlet by Sylvester Malone, Tenant wrong illustrated in a
nutshell; or, a history of Kilkee in relation to landlordism during the last seven years in

a letter addressed to Right Honorable W.E. Gladstone M.P. (Dublin 1857) 57pp.
The correspondence is arranged chronologically.

Ms 35,364 (1) Includes comments about the payment of election agents; 6 items.
Nov 1818

money due to Conyngham, and the state of the country; ‘The prices of

(27 Oct 1819); 15 items.

(6)

(7)

(3)

county Keane writes, ‘we are very quiet, we have a strong military
force and a large establishment of police, private robberies are the
only things we have to complain of’ (1 1 Feb). The low prices of
commodities are a constant theme and Keane suggested that ‘it will
require £500 to relieve them (the tenants) effectively some of the
money should be laid out immediately in purchasing meal while it is
cheap and the remainder should be laid out in purchasing seed
potatos’ (23 Apr). List of increase of abatements recommended from
1 May 1821. Referring to a visit by Lord Mountcharles, Keane
writes, ‘he is very much liked, I wish he was to spend so much time
with us every year, our county would be the better of it, and I have no
doubt but his coming to the country at this particular period and his
advise to the tenants has had a very good effect’ (1 1 Dec); 23 items.

1 82 1

Includes petition from the tenants of Ballyea (at the end of which
Conyngham has noted ‘the reason for my not granting the abatement
required proceeds from the petitioners stating a falsehood; I never did
promise them an abatement’). Also includes letters relating to the
office of clerk of peace of Clare, seizure of stock, delay in getting
accounts ready, and a copy letter from Keane to Marquis Conyngham
as to the relief of tenants in Clare (21 Apr); 22 items.

1 822

Includes letters re Crown rents (27 Jan), condition of fishermen (5
Feb), in relation to his delay in sending in accounts Keane writes, ‘I
expect now that the fairs are coming on to be able to get in a large
sum of money’ (2 May). He refers to the circumstances of the
tenantry around Kilrush: ‘even the middlemen are as badly off, as they
depended on the payments of cottiers’ (3 May). Includes petitions
from tenants of Ballyea, and Rathmeehan; 19 items.

1 823

Includes references to the improved state of the tenantry, Keane
writes, ‘I have pleasure to tell you that everything is rising and that his
I_ordship’s estate was not since the peace in so fair a way of doing
well as it is at present’ (22 Feb); again Keane commented, ‘we have
had the finest season ever and the best crops I ever recollect seeing
and the tenants are beginning to pay in their rents with satisfaction’
(29 Sept). Includes letter from Keane’s son, Frank N. Keane, to

Marquis Conyngham, and proposals for taking lands; 17 items.
1824

Includes a statement by Keane: ‘the government talk of headquarters
being removed from Ennis to Clare Castle which will injure the town

family that might hereafter be of use’ (25 Apr). Includes 5 letters

The Conyngham family had four distinct estates in the county: Boylagh, Mountcharles,

practicable to separate the records dealing with the Boylagh and Rosses estates as they
were both in the same barony. There is also a section dealing with the estate as a whole
in the county. The records include leases, recoveries, agreements, conveyances and
statements of title etc. The records also include papers relating to the McCaus1and and
Stewart families. Some of records are in the names of trustees of the Conyngham family
including Arthur, Lord Wrottesley and Sir Theodore Brinckman, and the trustees under
the will of Victor, 5'1‘ Marquis, Frances, Marchioness Conyngharn and Herbert Blunt.

and is principally addressed to John Benbow and Marquis Conyngham. The agent of

I.vi.3. Rentals and accounts (Mss 35,416 — 8)

The rentals and accounts were compiled by the agent. The agents of the Slane estate in
the 18203 were William Dean and George Pentland, and from c. 1920 Charles Keane,
Edward Sclater and F.M. Boylan. Until the mid 1820s the rentals do not record the
denomination of land occupied by each tenant, however the rent roll (c. 1818) does
record this detail as well as the term which each tenant held his holding. The early
rentals were compiled half-yearly (in May and November) and most of the later ones
yearly. In the agent’s accounts the payments included head and quit rents, rent charges
and tithes, repairs and improvements, insurance, rates, taxes and salaries. For a number
of years the accounts and rentals are included in the one volume. Accounts include
Slane improvement accounts, demesne workmen’s accounts (which record how each

worker was employed and his wages etc). The rental and accounts are generally pages
sewn together or soft—backed volumes.
