Hi Peg
Thanks for your enquiry.
I have some notes written by my grandmother, these notes were excerpts taken from letters written in the early 1900s about an estate left to Thomas by Richard (thought to be Thomas's brother) and Marianne(a lunatic)!! Neville. Thomas and Mary(nee Austin)Neville as far as we know were from Ireland and have only Kilmonoughan and Athlone as clues. About 20 years ago I sighted some of these letters about the will and hired a genealogist to find out what happened to the estate. While the will itself was probably destroy in a fire in 1922, the records of actual sums paid out, and to whom, were kept at the Bank of Ireland. The people that recieved a share, in 1912, are as follows;
Rev. E.G. Deedes
Sir Wm Montgomery Geary
Sir H.E. Dering Prov
Sir William Richard Powlett Geary Bart (this person was 'deceaced when raised', and I think shared by the next two people)
L.C. Geary
Chas H. Monsarrat
I have been checking these names with the IGI thing!! and have found that there is a definite connection to the Neville family, but in England, not Ireland. So far I have found that most of the above family names have turned up a link by marriage, I still have to sort out a few notes before I could give you exact details. We also still have to prove that Thomas was actually related to Richard, but as Thomas has been so difficult to track I thought I'd try the names on the will and hopefully get some clues. I hope this helps, let me know if you need more info.
