De Renzy & Dundas Of County Wexford (Revised Edition 2023)

by Arthur Kavanagh

This book is a stand-alone and updated version of the the histories of De Renzy and Dundas families of Co. Wexford which were part of the book entitled The Wexford Gentry II. This book examines in some detail the advent of each family into County Wexford and to their estate known as Clobemon which lay on the banks of the Slaney river halfway between the towns of Newtownbarry (Bunclody) and Enniscorthy. This is a biography and memoir of two prominent Wexford families.
While the De Renzy family were the first owners of the estate following the Cromwellian Settlement in the 17th century the Dundas family became owners by purchase in the 19th century.
The descendants of the De Renzy and Dundas families are traced from available records.
