Toler
The Earl of Norbury held land in various parts of Ireland including counties Sligo, Mayo and Clare, as well as Durrow Abbey in County Offaly (King's County) where the 3rd Earl was murdered in 1839. The Sligo and Mayo properties were inherited from the Phibbs of Lisconny. The mother of the 2nd Lady Norbury, Elizabeth Brabazon, was a daughter of John Phibbs of Lisconny. According to Griffith's Valuation for Sligo Union the house at Lisconny was leased by her to Bernard Cogan in 1857. The county Mayo estate was located in the parish of Turlough, barony of Carra and his county Clare estate in the parishes of Feakle and Tomgraney, barony of Tulla Upper, close to the border with county Tipperary. His county Tipperary estate was located in the parishes of Clonoulty, Oughterleague, Moyaliff, Upperchurch, Twomileborris, Kilruane, Aghnameadle and Kilmastulla. In 1876 the 4th Earl held over a thousand acres in both counties Sligo and Mayo and much more extensive estates in counties Tipperary (7,798 acres) and Clare (2,453 acres). His county Mayo estate was vested in the Congested Districts' Board on 8 March 1915.
