Roddy Peter Roscommon Castlereagh Baslick Ballindollaghan (Crump) Hon & V. Rev. Henry Pakenham P.P. (Landlord) Ho ld (House and Land.....11 acres) Ballindollaghan aka Crump/Knox. It would appear Hugh (1901/1911) was son of Peter Roddy above. The "Vesey" family also leased land same as above...(note variation to spelling when searching Mary and family) Hugh and Mary (Vasey/Veasey/Vesey) had quite a number of children and they are all on Family search.org.
