1825 - Tithe Applotment Book, Summerhill, William Short, 100 acres, total payable £9 10s 0d, Henry Short, 100 acres, total payable £10 4s 0d.[1]
1844 William Thomas Shortt of Kilgeever Lodge Mayo and Newton Shortt of Ballinamona Co Tipp re 1736 deed whereby Benjamin Friend demised lands to William Shortt. Benjamin Friend interest now vested in John Derby of Leap Castle and William Shortt interest now vested in William Shortt, John Shortt, James Shortt, Francis Shortt, Newton Shortt and Henry Shortt re lands in Summerhill inc Holiwell Lodge. Also mentions John Shortt, William Shortt and Henry Shortt, the three sons of Newton Shortt. [2]
1847 - William Thomas Shortt of Kilgavran Lodge Mayo (1st), Frances Emily Shortt his wife (2nd), Newton Shortt of Ballinamona (3rd) re lease made 2/1/1736 between Benjamin Friend and William Shortt. Interest became vested in 1829 in William Shortt, John Shortt, James Shortt, Francis Shortt, Newton Shortt and Henry Shortt re Summerhill. John Shortt interest vested in William Thomas Shortt by virtue of will of said John Shortt dated 3/2/1826.[3]
Dunkerrin Parish Register deaths: Nuton Shortt, Summerhill, 6/6/51, aged 75 years; William Shortt, Summerhill, 27/6/47, aged 82 years; James Shortt, Summerhill, 2/4/39, aged 68 years; Henry Shortt, Balymona , 25/8/32, aged 55 years; John Shortt, Lisheen, 28/5/1826, aged 56 years.
This means that the order of births would be William b. abt 1764, John b. abt 1770, James b. abt 1771, Newton b. abt 1776 and Henry b. abt 1777. This is the order in which they are listed in the Deeds above so it seems likely that they are siblings (the only one who is not listed in the Dunkerrin Parish Register being Francis Shortt.
