Scope and content
Letters received by Thomas Ormsby of Ballinamore Co. mayo. Includes letters from his brother Christopher Ormsby of Dublin largely concerning business matters, court cases and family matters. Christopher appears to have acted as family banker paying his nephews their allowances etc. The letters are in many cases quite detailed and portray much of the life of a busy Dublin merchant at the time. Christopher bought a number of properties during the period including land for development near Clontarf. There are also references to more general news such as the possibility of the enemy [the French] landing in his earlier letters and to such subjects as travelling to Tullamore by canal, as part of his journey westwards. Also a letter from Jane Ormsby, his sister-in-law. Also 10 letters from his eldest son Colonel Anthony Ormsby, usually enquiring after his parents health and the weather. Also 7 letters from his grandson Thomas Ormsby of Dublin, one from his nephew Christopher Ormsby, his sons-in-law, Frederick Trench, Lord Clanmorris and others.
