The Silver Bowl: 1851 May 9

To give a sense of context - William OLIVER starting in the early 1700s held leases to both Lisloony & Cavanapole. Both townlands were held by OLIVERs for about a 150 years. In 1827, a Benjamin OLIVER held leases to land at Breaghy. Also, OLIVERs connected to mills at Laragh in Co. Monaghan owned a mill at Derryhaw. This is closing the circle of OLIVERs who are related to each other - and I will add more to this soon.
