Name Description
Stanuell In the 1890s Charles A. Stanuell held 7,672 acres at Letterkeen, Srahrevagh and Srahmore in the barony of Burrishoole, county Mayo, formerly part of the estate of Nathaniel P. Simes. The Simes/Stanuell estate was originally part of the estate of the O'Donels of Newport and head rent was paid to the Marquess of Sligo. Records in the Westport Estate Papers in the National Library document the Stanuell estate at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century.
Simes Nathaniel P. Simes bought 7,719 acres in five townlands in the parish of Burrishoole, barony of Burrishoole, county Mayo, for £4,000 from the sale of the O'Donel of Newport estate in the Encumbered Estates' Court in the early 1850s. Much of the Simes estate was in the possession of the Stanuell family in the late 19th century. For more information about Teevmore see http://familyhistory.oram.ca/burrishoole/?page_id=1345
