| Sarah Anne Haughton 1840-1918 |
Sarah Anne Haughton is my 2x great-aunt, a younger sister of my great-grandmother Mary. The Haughton family lived at Ardreigh, near Athy in county Kildare, where they owned the mill. Sarah was given a sketchbook by her father Alfred Haughton in November 1857, and over the next few years she filled it with detailed sketches of the places she visited. The sketches displayed here are mostly of county Clare, done while she was visiting her sister Mary Pilkington at Kiltrellig and Ennis.
Sarah's sketchbook is now in the custody of my cousin Tom, and he has kindly given permission for me to share these images.

Love these sketches, what a wonderful record of the times. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing beautiful sketches.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to respond. I enjoyed the sketches and pictures. It brought back so many memories when I saw the picture of the Glenard House. It's been forty years, but it is exactly how I remembered. I will keep searching. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them. Sorry I couldn't help more. Try writing a letter.

ReplyDeleteHi Olivia, I am happy for you to share the link. I’m very interested in your engraving. My 4x great grandfather Benjamin Haughton lived at Mullagmast from about 1740. I would love to see a picture! You can contact me directly using the ‘contact me’ form.
