Tweedy
The estate at Cloonamahon passed into the hands of the Tweedy family thorough the marriage of Meredith to Henry Tweedy. In 1862, Mr. Tweedy is recorded as the purchaser, in the Landed Estates Court, of a plot of land owned by Loughlin Redican. In 1906 Dr. Henry Tweedy is recorded as the occupier of property at Cloonamahon including a mansion house. In 1911 an offer on over 400 acres of the estate was accepted from the Congested Districts Board.
