Archived Law Records
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2017 2:28 am
My great grandfather was a solicitor with an office in Dublin and another office in Ennistymon.
My current project is in creating a "whole" picture of him.......
He died in 1894 (56 years old).
Does anyone know what would have happened to his records?
Would they have been archived somewhere?
If found, would I be able to see, read or copy them?
We are coming to Ireland next week!! (I am currently printing the suggestions for visiting Eire that are on this page!)
I'm trying to create a real "picture" of him and his father. Since both were prominent in Ennistymon , they are mentioned dozens of times in the newspapers of the period.
I have learned that my great grandfather was involved in two "famous" cases......
One was called "The Great Irish Will Case" - Fitzgerald v Fitzgerald. Lady Edward Fitzgerald was sued by her late husband's brother. My ancestor was on her team - they lost the case.
He was also mentioned in the Moonlighter Murder of Head Constable Whelehen.
Anyway - I thought it would be interesting to take a look at his records.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading!
