Will of Ellen Colgan

Copy will of Ellen Colgan, 33 Great Charles Street, Dublin. Bequeaths the residue of her estate to her brother Rev. John Colgan SJ and Rev. Thomas Vincent Nolan SJ, Rev. Michael Browne SJ and Rev. James Bury SJ, St Francis Xavier's, Upper Gardiner Street, Dublin.

Will of Matilda O'Donnell

A file relating to the will of Matilda O'Donnell in which she bequeathed the residue of her property to her trustees and executors, Fr. Thomas V. Nolan SJ and Fr Michael Browne SJ, Upper Gardiner Street, Dublin. The file contains extensive background material that appears to have little to do with the Society of Jesus and their bequest. However, as Frs. Nolan and Browne were appointed as trustees and executors of the will it may have been necessary to acquaint themselves fully with Miss Matilda O'Donnell's affairs.
