Oooh-Er, Flickroonies! This is all change, eh? Well, I loaded this one up without saying any bad words at all (and one on our other Flickr stream too - there's a minor mystery attached to that one if you've any time on your hands when you're finished here!) I really miss the map displaying automatically on screen though.

DannyM8 I wonder was that often the case with some of these Big Houses. Census was done in March or April - the family away until the summer?

It could be a legal document? A list of evictions planned for the next two years and the likely benefits in shooting rights that might accrue? Nah! I'm just being cynical today!
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Constant Thank you for that. And the most recent Ambrose Congreve died just last year, aged 104!
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Swordscookie Oh, you are cynical today! Think it definitely was a newspaper...
