Redington (Mirehill)

In the late 18th century Nicholas Redington, eldest son of Thomas Redington of Creganna, was living at Mirehill, in the barony of Clare, county Galway, which he may have held on a long lease from the St Georges. The property passed to his nephew and heir Thomas Redington, who lived at Rye Hill in the parish of Monieva, barony of Tiaquin and subsequently to Stephen Roche, Redington’s son in law. According to the Ordnance Survey Field Name books, John O'Flaherty of Mirehill was acting as agent to Thomas Redington's estate in the parish of Ballynacourty. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation Mary Redington held land in the parishes of Tuam and Belclare, barony of Clare. She leased Caherhugh to Michael Cullinane. It is clear from the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books that Caherhugh was part of the Redington/Roche estate. They also indicate that Mrs. Redington was the proprietor of townlands in the parish of Athenry. Mrs Mary Redington owned 166 acres in county Galway in the 1870s.
