Kenny's wife was the Hon Elizabeth Maud Younger a daughter of 2nd Viscount Younger. The Manor House is the residence of Alastair Davidson (youngest son) and his wife Jean (both DL). They run the B & B. Andrew Davidson qualified as a solicitor and worked both north and south of the border. <br />The report of the Irish Estates (Special) Committee to the Court of Assistants of the Worshipful Company of Grocers indicates that the estate of the Grocers Company was some 11,745 acres together with an area of slob land. It was sold in eleven lots plus the slob land. The sale price totalled £157,656. The Davidson family purchased lots 6 and 7 for the sum of £41,500.Northern Scrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852483880332431011noreply@blogger.com
