Leahy Land Deed Notes 1708-1950

Having spent many hours in the Registry of Deeds I thought it may be useful for others to see the notes I took on the Leahy deeds / Wills and marriage articles. This is a rich genealogical source often overlooked or sometimes avoided as some of the text and language can be difficult to interpret and understand. I appreciate that not everyone has the money or time to come to Dublin and spend days in the Registry of Deeds to extract this useful information. I systematically went through every Index of sellers from 1708 to 1950 and recorded every Leahy / Lahy / Lahey / Lahee / Laghy name and in most cases made notes on the deed (those with no notes have the book No, Page No and Memorial No recorded for the reader to order if of interest). In most cases I recorded the people (and any stated relationships) and land areas covered, acerage amounts and monetary values mentioned. Some deeds of particular interest to me have been transcribed in full. I have set them out in date order and indexed other surnames (witnesses, buyers, solicitors etc.) that occur in the deed. It should be noted that Leahys may also be recorded as 'buyers' however there are only Indexes for the 'Sellers' names. I hope the information will be of use to genealogists somewhere.
