Homan, Papers of Sir William (LE3)
This collection can hardly be said to provide a comprehensive record of the Grandison Estate, centered on Dromana, County Waterford. It provides an interesting glimpse into estate management at the beginning of the nineteenth century through the few examples of Homan's correspondence. The leases, while providing information on specific agreements and holdings, provide no discernible land-holding pattern.

Lucas Family Papers, County Offaly (LE37)
Although these papers came to be owned by a member of the Lucas family, they barely contain documents that concern them.

It is unclear when the Lucases came into possession of the Ryans' papers.
