| Message | Great site and I just got a copy of your great book. I'm very lucky my house, Newpark House, Ennis, was rescued by my parents in the 60s and survives (with a lot of work). Keep up your great work, thank you. |

| Message | Absolutely amazing site. I especially enjoyed " The Haunted House." I miss not having any really old places such as these to go and see here in Canada. Next time I am back home in Ireland I must make a note of some of these wonderful places but for now I have to visit them virtually. |

| Message | What wonderful photography. Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures. I long to visit Ireland and by the time I do, some of these places will be gone (or I'll be too old, crippled and blind to do the really cool sites like these). You've stirred my imagination and given me hours of rare enjoyment viewing your work. Please do more! In my part of Canada, an OLD building is a century and a REALLY OLD building is 125! And as I have always suspected Ireland is beautiful. Again, many many thanks. |

| Message | Wonderful pictures of Ballynagarde, I didn't know it existed! My great great grandfather was James O'Brien Croker, grandson of John Croker & Mary Pennefather, so Ballynagarde was their ancestral home. (James's parents were William Croker & Margaret O'Brien). James got himself into trouble in Australia, convicted of fraud & spent two years in Sydney Gaol in 1838 to 1840. I often wonder why he left Ireland, maybe he had problems there as well? Anyway, loved the photographs. Regards, Ros Finch |

| Message | Williamstown, 280 acres, has a large house on it in which the Rev George Garnett lived. He had recently married, and died in 1856 leaving the place to his eldest son, William Stawell Garnett who was born in 1838. The early Oakley Park deeds concern both Thomas Williams who lived at Williamstown, and Joseph Williams, probably his brother, who lived at Oakley Park then called Lawrencetown. Joseph Williams built the early part of Oakley Park, and Thomas rebuilt Williamstown, which was previously called Boaravely. Boaravely is also the proper name for the river, which is usually called the Moynalty River. However the Williamstown House of the 1830s was built in the second half of the 1700s by Rev George Garnett’s father. It is an impressive three-story house, which looks very like nearby Rockfield, and the two houses are probably by the same architect. Towards the end of the 1900s the Garnetts left and Williamstown was occupied for a while by the Dyas family; they left it to Miss McCormack who died in the 1950s. Since then the house has been empty and is slowly decaying into a ruin. |
