My ancestery immigrated to America in 1823 from Portaferry (on Strangford Lough) having lived in the County of Down, Parish Saul. I understand that the landlord system existed at this time. Where can I find the name of the landlord over my ancesters. They were from Downpatrick. Many thanks for any suggestions. Thanks

Hi Bill,
Best bet for that era are the Tithe Applotments which are free online at titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/
