LARGE URN AT THE RDS – PRESENTED BY THE LAST GERRARD OF GIBBSTOWN COUNTY MEATH 1935

Gibbstown Demesne Estate owned by the Gerrard Family.The family were resident at Gibbstown, near Navan, county Meath, from the late 17th century. I cannot find out what happened to them but I suspect that much if not all of the estate was taken over by the Land Commission and distributed to poor farmers relocated from the West of Ireland.
