Although a very short publication, amounting to twenty pages, this is none the less an extremely valuable source for researching ancestors in Coleraine, Co. Derry. The bulk of this publication lists those who were elected, admitted, or sworn in as Freemen of the Corporation of Coleraine prior to 1st September 1830. In most cases their address at time of admission is included as well their more current address is still alive. In total there are some 450 individuals included in this section. This is followed by the names of approximately another 1,250 individuals were either admitted in between 1830 and January 1832, were refused admission, or whose application had not yet been fully considered. The publication finishes with a listing of the Aldermen and Councilmen of the Corporation, including their addressed and duties, as well the property owned by the Corporation which were rented or leased and to whom the were let to.
