Information on Philip North

3c Philip North (16.4.2) d 1772 at Tubberbonny (will 1772 - Vicars prerogative wills and Betham), Dublin, m at St Michans, Dublin, on 23 Aug 1735, Eleanor Connor or Elinor Connor (SP email 16 Mar 2008, SP1, SP3, SP8) d 1776 (Vicars prerogative wills and Betham) and had issue (SP email 21 Mar 2008).

Deed 290 578 196434 of 29 June 1761 refers to two properties, one in Arran St and one in Ormand Square, Dublin. The deed recites two deeds of 13 Nov 1735 in which Lord Cashell made over the lands to Ralph Leland, glass grinder of Dublin, now deceased; in a deed dated 13 Apr 1756, Ralph Leland, Richard Leland and Captain John Leland, children and residual legatees of Ralph Leland senior, and the executors of the estate of Ralph Leland senior, including Rev John Leland, doctor of divinity, made over the lands to Adam Strean; then by deed dated 9 May 1758 Adam Strean and his son and heir Johnas Strean made over the lands to Philip North of Dublin, tallow chandler. The deed itself sets out an agreement by Philip North, tallow chandler, to make the various deeds, particularly the 1756 deed, available to Elinor Strean, daughter and executor of Adam Strean, the better to evidence her title in the premises in any court hearing . . . (EN email 7 Sep 2008; CN email 14 Jun 2010 - missing the end of the transcript, so we may not know the full story). Deborah Leland married Roger North of Whitewell in 1760. Deed 275 602 182506 of 24 July 1770 records that Philip North of Dublin, tallow chandler did demise unto Thos Rotherary, tallow chandler, all dwellings and warehouses etc at Strand St, Dublin, for 61 years from 20 July for £60 per year, present Emor North, witnessed 4 Aug 1770 (EN email 21 Jun 2008). This Philip North of Tubberbonny is the right age to have been retiring from business in 1770 and had a son Emor, but the description gent in his will does not suggest he was a tallow chandler. If he is the Philip who let a house to Wm Gargan in deed 490 380 315018, however, he might have been as much merchant as gent. Philip North is in Watsons Almanac and Directory from 1761 to 1770 (EN email 26 Jan 2010). Deed 303 446 201828 of 30 Sep 1774: Eleanor North widow and executor of Philip North late of Tubberbonny Co Dublin 1st part; Daniel Heatly of Newtown, Dublin, includes Olivia Hunter widow, money owned to Eleanor £213 re mortgage on towns and lands at Newtown, 115 acres, Barony Coolock, Co Dublin (EN email 17 Aug 2008). Dublin directories in 1738 and 1753 list Philip North, chandler, at Arran St, Dublin; from 1761 to 1770 he is listed at Strand St (EN emails 21 Sep 2009; 4 Feb 2010)
