Greville-Nugent
William Fulke Greville was the second son of Fulke Greville of Wiltshire, a grandson of the 5th Baron Brooke. He married Meliora, daughter of the Honourable and Reverend Richard Southwell. The Grevilles county Limerick estate was leased to the Reverend Richard Southwell on 29 May 1731. In 1840 William F. Greville's grandson, Fulke Southwell Greville, created 1st Lord Greville in 1869, married Rosa, the only child of George Thomas John Nugent, 8th Earl of Westmeath. He assumed the surname Greville-Nugent in 1866. He was a principal lessor in the parishes of Kiltullagh, barony of Castlereagh, Kilglass and Kilmore, barony of Ballintober North and Aughrim, barony of Roscommon, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Almost 6,000 acres of the Castlereagh estate was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates' Court in 1858. Griffith's Valuation also records Foulke S. Greville holding land in the county Cork parishes of Clonpriest, Ightermurragh and Titeskin, barony of Imokilly and William Greville holding land in the parish of Clonagh, barony of Connello Lower, county Limerick. This land in the parish of Clonagh, the estate of the Marquis of Westmeath and others, trustees of the will of William Fulke Greville deceased, was advertised for sale in November 1861 with lands in the barony of Imokilly, county Cork. The total acreage amounted to 3,192 acres. Most of these lands and a large estate of over 4,000 acres in county Cavan were offered for sale again in May 1864. This county Cavan estate was formerly part of the Manor of Hansborough or Corraneary, granted to the Hamilton family in the 17th century. It was bought by the Grevilles in 1776. Lord Greville’s county Cavan estate was in the parishes of Drumgoon, Knockbride and Drumlumman. He was living at Corraneary House in county Cavan at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In 1876, Lord Greville's main estate was at Cloyn Castle, near Delvin, in county Westmeath. It was located mainly in the parish of Castletowndevlin (13 townlands) but also in Clonarney and St Feighin’s. Woods writes that Colonel Greville purchased the Mullingar estate from the Earl of Granard in 1859 for a sum believed to be £125,000 and also Clonhugh. In the 1870s Lord Greville owned nearly 10,000 acres in county Westmeath, as well as over 1,900 acres in county Cavan, over 1,200 acres in County Longford, nearly 4,000 in county Roscommon and 451 acres in county Cork. His son Algernon owned over 8,000 acres in Longford at the same time. The Longford estates were mainly in the parishes of Ballymacormick and Granard. It had been in the hands of Fulke Greville's uncle, Richard Greville, in the early and mid-nineteenth century and he was noted as among the principal lessors in those parishes at the time of Griffiths Valuation.
