Co. Kildare:
Two Indentures dated 1810 and

Dublin, leases property in Kilcock, Co. Kildare,
to John Colgan. The first refers to premises in
Kilcock, the second to “the field opposite the
racecourse”.
Colgan is evidently a developer, as his rent
includes “two fat hens or two shillings” every
Christmas for each tenement he builds on the
premises. He also undertakes not to hinder
the division of the Commons of Kilcock. The
second lease has a manuscript map attached.
