Flax growers List
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.
