THOMAS PEACOCK
Ballyrashane, CountyLondonderry;
Poor Law Union: Coleraine;
DED: Knockantern.

VAL/12B/30/14A-F.

BOOK 14A – 1860-63.

PLOT - NAME -Immed.Lessor - Descr. Of Holding -Ttl

9j-Thomas Peacock-Andrew Ferguson-House...........10s

BOOK 14B – 1864-80.

9j.........(Thomas Peacock).........Andrew Ferguson
4A+B.....James Stirling...............Andrew Ferguson
9j...........James Stirling...............Andrew Ferguson

(This book was a nightmare to transcribe. Thomas is stroked out of book 14B, and his name is not replaced. He is not listed anywhere else in this book. The holding of 9j is transferred to beside holding 4A+B, and all these are now rented to James Stirling. The enumerator amends this in red pen, dated 1876. Again, this is when he notes the change, not when the change actually happens. )


BOOK 14C – F
The rest of the books state that holding 9j is with 4A+B, and is rented out now to John, Thomas and Andrew Stirling. No further sign of Thomas or any other Peacock in this townland.

Again, this is inconclusive as we know Thomas has lost the holding by 1876, and we see no further sign of him in this townland. Could he have moved to another townland or emigrated.
