Hello Everyone,

Here is part 2 of the Lardner and associated family surname post for wills and probate records found in the Limerick Will Books.  Please see part 1 for the whole detailed description of what is being shown.

Update to my post "Will and Probate Records"

Hello Everyone,

Exciting news!  FamilySearch.org has posted digital images of the Limerick Will Books online and they can be accessed for free!

I've updated my post titled Will and Probate Records with the wills that I could find for the already listed non-Lardner related surnames.  So please take a look to see if entry for one of your family members has a new Probate link attached.

I will be slowly working on putting together a second post with additional surnames associated with the Lardner name, so hopefully that will be posted within a few weeks.

Until Next Time,
Jessica

Will and Probate Records 1858-1888 (Part 1)

****UPDATED WITH LINKS TO INDIVIDUAL WILLS ON APRIL 2, 2016****

See Other "Will" Posts: Part 2, Part 3 - Under Construction

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would make a general entry about the available will and probate records that I have found online (please let me know if there are others so that the information can be shared).

On the FamilySearch.org site, they have made images from the "Ireland, Calendar of Wills and Administrations, 1858-1920" public.  These records, when filtered for the location of Clare, provides over 7,000 results: LINK.  Of course, I'm not listing them all here, but if you are interested you can add additional filters to the search which may assist with locating records on your family.  Please keep in mind, that the spellings of surnames come in a variety of forms, so make sure you try all of the possibilities you can come up with...  The record I was looking for came up under the name Larner, not Lardner.

-----

Below are the list of searches for known names associated with the surname Lardner, whose Letters of Adminstration and wills were filed and probated in Limerick between 1858-1888.

Please note, I didn't look for the multitude of variations possible for most of them, these are single searches on the most common form of the names unless otherwise noted.  If probate of the will was completed in Limerick and filed between 1858-1888, there is a possibility that you may be able to get a microfilm copy (see the microfilm links at the end of this post):

James Lardner's Will

In the process of doing my search, I had always heard that wills were basically non-existent prior to 1922, but that there might be indexed summaries of wills available.  Therefore, my first stop was FamilySearch.org website to see what records they may have available and voilà...

Ireland, Calendar of Wills and Administrations, 1858-1920 

- Family Search Database - 

County Clare Lardners (and surname variations) found in will and admin index 


Probate Name        Date of Death     Location                              Beneficiary            
James Lardner       6 Mar 1912         Lisheencrona (Carrigholt)    John Lardner
Thomas Lardner    24 May 1913       Monmore (Kilrush)               Mary Lardner
James Larner      13 Jul 1883        Clounlaheen West            Catherine Larner

Even though the surname is not spelled the way my family has come to understand it, it was the Clounlaheen West location that had me looking at the entry with hope (below is partial transcription of what is listed in the index):

LARNER, James
Effects £51
"Letters of Administration (with the Will annexed) of the person estate of James Larner late of Clounlaheen West County Clare Farmer deceased who died 13 July 1883 at same place were granted at Limerick to Catherine Larner of Clounlaheen West aforesaid the Widow and the Principal Legatee."

 Taking what I had understood about probate records (read the articles from the National Archives of Ireland and Family Search for assistance) I decided to order FHL film# 100947 for the Limerick District will books... and I was surprised to find a will for James Lardner Sr!

Dated 20th of February, 1883, the document stated that James had decided to disinherit all of his children he had with his first wife Bridget because of their lack of "obedience" and "subservience" to him.  Instead, he left his second wife Catherine Halloran Lardner (née Breen) his worldly possessions after his death and the right to pass on that property to his step-daughter Mary Halloran when ever she so chose.  This transfer did take place between Catherine and Mary's husband, James Scullane, and is recorded in the General Valuation Revision lists of Kilrush Rural District (FHL film# 819460).

In addition to this disinheritance information, there followed a phrase that had me scratching my head in puzzlement over his relationship with his blood descendants.  Apparently, the children were disobedient enough that he had no other choice but, "...to help them to emigrate to foreign lands..." Which, OK, I'm not exactly sure how that logic works, but I decided to focus on the idea that all of the children had emigrated by 1883.

This fact may explain why I have been having such difficult time locating information on my 2x Gr-Grandfather's siblings in Ireland.  As a result, I now have a newly modified set of questions I need to answer about them: when did the children leave?, where did they go? and were they married with their own families when they emigrated?  The search continues!

Until next time.
