Crofton Archive A Collection of Architectural Drawings, Maps, Religious Manuscripts, and miscellaneous Estate Papers of the Crofton Family of Inchanappa House, Co. Wicklow, c. 1789 - 1900. The Inchanappa estate, together with lands in counties Cork and Monaghan, belonged in the 18th century to the Earbery family. Mathias Earbery (1734-1779), MP for Lanesborough 1768-76, married Elizabeth Barbara, daughter of Major Henry Crofton, and was father of Christopher Henry Earbery (1764-1818), who died leaving two daughters. The younger, Marcia Anastasia, married the Rev. Henry William Crofton (1795-1862), third son of Sir Hugh Crofton of Mohill, Co. Leitrim, 2nd Bart, who thus acquired the Earbery estates. The couple had no children and after her death Crofton married in 1840 Marianne Amelia Cazalet (died 1847) and thirdly in 1852 Frances, daughter of Robert Westropp of Fort Anne, Co. Cork. The Inchanappa line continued through Henry William's son by his second wife, Henry Morgan Earbery Crofton (1840-1878), and the latter's son Henry William George Crofton, a major in the East Surrey Regiment, who was killed in the South African war in 1902.

Archive of the Medlicott Family of Dunmurry, Co. Kildare In 1714 George Medlicott, youngest son of Thomas Medlicott, a London barrister and MP for Abingdon in Berkshire, acquired an estate at Dunmurry, Co. Kildare, and Dunmurry remained the seat of his descendants until it was sold in 1955. The papers in this archive date mainly from the period 1850 to 1950 and form a valuable insight into the running of an Irish landed estate during those troubled times. They include: · Folder containing a few early items, 1812-1847 · Ledger giving details of farm and household income and expenses from 1848 to 1855. Bound in ¼ calf. 37.5 x 15.5 cm. · Marriage settlement of James Edward Medlicott of Dunmurry with Margaret Davidson on 11 October 1859. 3 large membranes. · Bundles of bills, receipts, business letters, etc, c 1850 to 1950. · House account book, Dunmurry, Sept 1920 to Sept 1921. 16 x 10 cm. · "Farm account book". Contains only 4 pp of farm accounts, for January and February 1927. (The rest is taken up with lists of film actors, and answers to quizzes, and scores.) · Folio diary for 1946, with many insertions - bills etc. · "County of Kildare. Half-yearly statement for the half-year ended 31st March 1901. Including abstracts of proposals for payments, and also for new works or involving new contracts …" Approx 200 pp. · 4 Farm accounts books 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916 · Farm accounts book (wages) 1925-1928 · Farm accounts Book 1929-1931 · Edward James Medlicott diary 1942 (but in vol for 1941) · Althea Medlicott's chicken diary 1947 (Jan to May only) · 39 small diaries, all 11 x 8 cm, covering most of the years between 1870 and 1917; diaries for 1920 and 1932 (mostly blank) and one other There is also a file on the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway, including a diagram showing position of 60-feet girders renewed and to be renewed from Bombay to Wadhwan (dated in MS 1.7.[18]98. 21 x 34 cm. 6 ff on cloth, interleaved with paper). Also a number of personal letters, including one from a daughter Mary written as a small child: MY DEAR PAPA I LOVE YOO VERY MUCH, I HOPE I WILL SOON COME BACK TO YOU. HOW IS WEEWEE? THE WAVES ARE VERY ROUGH TODAY. I WAS OUT THIS MORNING BUT IT BEGAN TO RAIN. YOUR LITTLE MARY. Some of the letters deal with a family crisis involving James Edward Medlicott (1827-1913) during which his wife Margaret went to live in Dublin, whence she writes, with many underlinings (for example): "One word more. Do not dread exposure. As long I am so openly on good terms with you, there will be no exposure, because you must not pay hush money. Only do tell me how you were drawn in and when? Why did you not cut her in '77? Do say if you pay any one else. Do! I can bear all now. Remember you are very terribly laughed at about that vulgar brute E. Farrell. Take care, be more circumspect - more dignified. Don't make those vile jokes. And above all, don't joke with Mary Anne, Andy's sister. Remember it would be all over this place if you do. For I shall at once dismiss her. Now be brave and true and tell me all. Your loving wife MM. But very very unhappy wife. I am determined not to be put off with words but must have all broken off from this day. Write in your own name to Mrs Cassidy and say you give up the house now - God help you."

Terence MacSwiney's Paper FIANNA FAIL (The Irish Army). A Journal for Militant Ireland. Nos. 1-11 (all published), Cork, 19 September - 5 December 1914, various printers. Folio, mostly 4 pp (one double number). Fine copies. (1) Edited, financed and mainly written by Terence MacSwiney, later Lord Mayor of Cork, whose death on hunger strike in 1920 was a turning point in the independence struggle. Its main purpose was to support the Irish Volunteers, and to oppose Irish recruitment to the British Army at the start of the First World War. It reports the Volunteer controversy with Redmond in detail. It was suppressed after the eleventh issue, which reports a promise of German support for Irish freedom given to Roger Casement in Berlin. It did not circulate outside Cork, and complete sets are rare. After the paper was suppressed, MacSwiney sold his books to pay the printer's bill. He died on hunger strike some six years later. His centenary occurs this coming October.
