Irish Flax Growers
List, 1796
The 1796 Flax Growers
Bounty List is held in the Linen Hall Library, Belfast
which gives the names of farmers in all parishes who were
awarded spinning wheels and looms for growing areas of
flax. Lists are available for all the counties of Ireland
except for Dublin and Wicklow, and are arranged in
parishes within the county. Unfortunately the townlands
are not given. It is especially useful for Co
Donegal as there are some 7000 names (from a total of
about 55,000 on the list). Some women feature in entries
especially in the province of Munster.
The list is in the Latter
Day Saints library. British film area 12, fiche # 6341104.
