If I die in Ireland I desire to be buried in the family vault at Killurin, Co. Wexford, but if in England to be buried in Kensal Green.
Appoint my nephew David Beatty eldest son of my brother Edward and my nephew David Beatty eldest son of my brother David, and said R. S. Guinness executors.
In witness 16 Aug. 1850.
Thos. Beatty
Witnesses: Will: Armstrong, New Hall, Co. Clare.
Octavias O'Brien, solicitor, 47 Fleet Street, Dublin.
& Probate of the will of Thomas Beatty, formerly of Nanau Street, Dublin and later of Sion, Co. Wexford, Esq., deceased, granted to David Beatty of Heathfield and David Beatty of Rorodale, both in Co. Wexford and Richard Seymour Guinness of 26 South Frederick Street, Dublin, the executors 6 Sept. 1851.
* This must be a clerical error for “Rorodale” when drawing up the will, as it is clear testator intended David Beatty of Rorodale to be trustee for this trust fund. [Note by Philip Crosslé.]
