Event Note

The Valuation Revision Books for Parcels 6A, 6B, Ballincurry from 1915 to 1929 are confusing.
There are many dates and names and I can't match them up to tell when the land changed hands.
Bridget might have held the land from 1923 to 1925.
Dates: 1915, 1920, 1923 in pink, 1925

Death May 23, 1923 Ballincurry Townland, Killowen, Kilbroney Civil Parish, County Down, Ireland   5a
Event Note

Based on the transactions in the Valuation Revision Books, and on Bridget's baptism date, I think this is her.
