Rose (Mullaghmore)
In the mid-19th century Gertrude Rose of Mullaghmore House, county Monaghan, held an estate of about 4,000 acres in the parish of Tedavnet. She was the youngest child of Dr Thomas Rose, an army surgeon, and his wife Mary Anne Mair. She inherited the estate at the age of 21 following the death of her uncle James Rose in 1841. In 1821 Scotsman, James Rose, bought his estate from the Bishop of Clogher for £20,000. Four other townlands were leased directly from Thomas Plunket, Bishop of Tuam, Killala and Achonry. Edward Fiddes was agent to the estate in the 1840s and 1850s and Edward Lucas of Castleshane was trustee until Gertrude Rose reached the age of 21 in 1849.
