Fell
Richard Latham Fell of Ulverstone, Lancashire and Fell Fort, Watergrasshill, Fermoy, county Cork, owned 1,330 acres in county Cork in the 1870s. Burke's "Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland" (1886) traces his descent from John Fell of Ulverston in the 17th century. Richard L. Fell (born 1831) was the fifth son of John Fell of Daltongate, Ulverston. A document in the National Westminster Bank, Ulverston, describes him as "of Watergrasshill" in April 1854.
