Marriage Settlement*15 November 1847A Memorial of an Indenture dated 15 November 1847 was made between Henry Ffrench Esq. of Beaupeep in the county of Roscommon of the first part, Margaret Dignan of Enfield in the county of Roscommon aforesaid, spinster, of the second part, and Margaret's brother, Philip Dignan Esq., of Enfield in the county of Roscommon and Richard Kelly Jr. Esq. of the town of Roscommon, in the county of Roscommon, of the third part, regarding the intended marriage of Henry Ffrench Esq. and Margaret Dignan.

Ireland’s memorial deeds are handwritten, and the microfilmed copies are often difficult to read. Additionally, we are uncertain, in some instances, that we have identified the correct townlands. In earlier times, how the name of a townland was spelled depended upon how the initial scribe heard the name pronounced, and then how future scribes interpreted what was written. As a result, the names and spellings of many Irish townlands were spelled differently from deed to deed, book to book and year to year. Attempts to standardize the spelling of Ireland’s townlands began around the turn of the 20th century. A townland’s Barony did not always remain constant, either. Changes were made as populations grew. Our own transcription that follows attempts to identify the correct townlands mentioned in the deed and spell them in the current (2020) standard form. Our placement of quotation marks around a townland’s name means we remain uncertain about our selection of the correct townland, or have used the spelling as we saw it in the deed because we couldn’t find a good guess. Our transcription follows, and we welcome suggestions and corrections:

Ireland’s memorial deeds are handwritten, and the microfilmed copies are often difficult to read. Additionally, we are uncertain, in some instances, that we have identified the correct townlands. In earlier times, how the name of a townland was spelled depended upon how the initial scribe heard the name pronounced, and then how future scribes interpreted what was written. As a result, the names and spellings of many Irish townlands were spelled differently from deed to deed, book to book and year to year. Attempts to standardize the spelling of Ireland’s townlands began around the turn of the 20th century. A townland’s Barony did not always remain constant, either. Changes were made as populations grew. Our own transcription that follows attempts to identify the correct townlands mentioned in the deed and spell them in the current (2020) standard form. Our placement of quotation marks around a townland’s name means we remain uncertain about our selection of the correct townland, or have used the spelling as we saw it in the deed because we couldn’t find a good guess. Our transcription follows, and we welcome suggestions and corrections:

Reciting as therein and among others, said Indenture witnessed that in consideration of said intended marriage and others, the considerations therein mentioned, she the said Margaret Dignan, with the privity and consent of the said Henry Ffrench, granted, bargained, sold, assigned, transferred and made over unto the said Philip Dignan and Richard Kelly Jr., their executors, administrators and assigns, all that and those two several Judgements for the respective sums of £4,000 and £2,000 obtained against the said Hamilton Gorges by the said Margaret Dignan, and all sums of money due or to become due thereon, and all benefit and advantage thereof.

Ireland’s memorial deeds are handwritten, and the microfilmed copies are often difficult to read. Additionally, we are uncertain, in some instances, that we have identified the correct townlands. In earlier times, how the name of a townland was spelled depended upon how the initial scribe heard the name pronounced, and then how future scribes interpreted what was written. As a result, the names and spellings of many Irish townlands were spelled differently from deed to deed, book to book and year to year. Attempts to standardize the spelling of Ireland’s townlands began around the turn of the 20th century. A townland’s Barony did not always remain constant, either. Changes were made as populations grew. Our own transcription that follows attempts to identify the correct townlands mentioned in the deed and spell them in the current (2020) standard form. Our placement of quotation marks around a townland’s name means we remain uncertain about our selection of the correct townland, or have used the spelling as we saw it in the deed because we couldn’t find a good guess. Our transcription follows, and we welcome suggestions and corrections:
