"The only resident landlord on the island, Mr. William Pike ...", from a very disturbing contemporary Freeman's article about famine on Achill Island in 1880 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/133486960?searchTerm=p...

Funnily enough, the only person with the surname Pike who was enumerated in Mayo in the 1901 census was a German-born Church of Ireland jeweller by the name of Eanos Pike who was living as a lodger with the McNamara family in a three-roomed thatched house at Slievemore on Achill Island, not to far away from Glendarary!

Looking at the housing and building returns on the 1901 and 1911 censuses, I can't find a house to match Glendarary - there are six pages of records from the townland of Sraheens, but nothing of this size - could the house have been uninhabited as early as 1900?

Per eiretrains: Achill, Co.Mayo, is the terminus of the well know line from Westport, built by the Midland Great Western Railway in 1894/5 Looks rather new here.
