Transcriber's Notes:
1/It is likely all of Kyran's property at St. John's was owned jointly with Ellen. However in November of 1883 a deed for property belonging to Kyran Condon was executed in which Ellen sold the property, on the north side of Caplin Bay, to James, Thomas and Patrick Clancy.
2/ The abbreviation KCMG means Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.
3/ The abbreviation DCL means Doctor of Civil Law.
