Kildavnet Freeholders List

<p>A unique Census Substitute for the townland of Carrickkildavnet aka Kildavnet in 1829. This Freeholders List can provide useful information about those who held enough land to register to vote.

These could be partners on a freehold lease. Can you find your ancestor's name below?</p>
