As Terryglass a small village and also the Parish, I went to the Tithe records to look for Ledger.
http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…
As you cane see there are 2 areas. Ardcrony and Lorrha, below is town land of Abbeyville Lorrah.
if you zoom out one click you willl see Lorrah to the left then move the map then you will see Terryglass.

These are the Tithe records for Ledger in Limerick.

Thanks for this new information on Terryglass and nearby townlands!

The (Zachariah) Minnitt Ledger in Herbertstown in my 3rd great-grandfather, and I have a clear view of documents and descendents from him. His father, Zachariah Ledger, is, I suspect, the son of T Ledger and Jane Minnitt.

There are other Ledgers in Limerick, but I have not uncovered any apparent relationship between them (farmers and cabinet makers) and my line (booksellers). ZML, his son and grandson operated a bookstore in Limerick City - ZM Ledger and Sons - from about 1820 until at least the 1920s.

Thanks again!

Michael

Oh, the info about Tobart Ledger is is interesting! The dates may be in the right period.

Here's what limited information I have: Jane Minnitt was born around 1721, and married 3 times (this is info from Burke's Peerage):

1st: Mr. Carr of Limerick

2nd: T. Ledger of Terryglass (Burke's has it misspelled as "Ferryglass")

3rd: Isaac Jacques

My assumption is that the first two husbands died and she then remarried. If she first married around 1745, the subsequent marriages could be anytime after this. And she was likely capable of having children with T. Ledger until about 1765...  My ancestor Zachariah Ledger died in 1837 "at an advanced age" - if he was 75 at time of death, his birthdate would have been 1762. But he was already pensioned by the Royal Navy by 1816, so he may have been born earlier than this.

I know all this is conjecture and assumption from limited data.

So I am curious to learn more about the records relating to Tobert Ledger - what is the source?

With thanks,

Micahel
