A document in a Galway solicitors' collection records Arthur Pittar Lattey and Robert John Lattey, both of Calcutta, co partners in a jewellery and gold and silver smith business. Robert Lattey, a London lawyer, purchased the Butler of Cregg estate, in the Encumbered Estates court in 1849 and part of Lord Gort's estate in September 1854. Robert John Lattey, whose address is given as Creg Park island, county Galway, owned an estate of 3,469 acres in county Galway in the 1870s. It included lands in the parishes of Killursa and Kilcoona, barony of Clare, which he had purchased from Francis and Walter Butler of Cregg, near Gort, in 1851. Robert John Lattey was the eldest son of Joseph Senior Lattey of Dublin, who worked for the Revenue. R.J. Lattey lived in India for a time, returned to England where he lost money in the bank failures of the 1850s but was able to retain his Irish property. In 1906 Robert Thomas Lattey held an untenanted demesne of over 160 acres and the mansion house at Cregg. Over 1,700 acres of the Lattey estate in county Galway was vested in the Congested Districts' Board on 27 Jan 1916. A detailed family history is given at http://lattey.com/
