Style (Donegal)
William H.M. Style was among the principal lessors in the parish of Kilteevoge, barony of Raphoe South, County Donegal, at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s. His estate in Donegal amounted to over 39,000 acres in the 1870s. This branch of the Style family is descended from a junior branch of that family whose seat was Langley, Beckenham, Kent.
