• Notes

  He was 52 on the 1901 Census Aunt Annie said that "one of the post office ones had told me that that there was a Neill who was related to my grandfather (James Kinnear) who lived on the lane between Bertie and Norman Richie's house." This must have been relation of his mother Bessy. Annie can remember that James was 86 when he died (28/2/99) Meredith estate 1878 shows James Kinner at 15A Hollymount (20 ACRES) Griffith's valuations show that James took over the rental of a 46 acre farm at Ballyplunt in 1881. The landlords Mrs. Waulfe? and Catherine Hamill. In the first Griffith's map of 1863 this farm was part of a much bigger farm of 128 acres rented by Robert McKibben snr. In 1871, presumably on the death of Robert, the land was split into 3: Farm 7 became - 7A now rented by Thomas Huddleston 56 acres House and land 7B now rented by William McKibben 47 acres house and land 7C Pat Doran In 1874, farm 7B passed from William to Robert McKibben jnr?. It was this farm (re-numbered 9 in 1880) that was bought by James Kinner in 1881. A year later he took over a small holding of 5-6 acres (12Aa) from John King. King remained in the house paying rent to James whilst James used the land In 1895, Thomas Huddleston's land (renumbered 8) was taken over by James Jervis. In 1903/13? James Minnear sold his 22 acres of land (ref 7Bb originally 9Ab) to James Kinnear. Later in 1912, 6 acres of land including a house (ref 7A also originally 9Ab) was bought from Patrick and Francis Keen. This was probably James Kinnear jnr as the Valuation book for 1914-1921 shows these properties owned by "James Kinnear" while the original 47 acre farm still owned by "Jas Kinnear". In 1921 James Jervis was still the neighbour.
