Location: Near Birr,Offaly, Ireland
Straduff, also known as Sraduff, was purchased by the Antisell family about 1704-1709.[1] [2]It is near Birr, and described as 62 miles south west of Dublin, and consists of four hundred acres of land prettily wooded. This was purchased by the first Antisell who migrated to Ireland, Christopher and his son Thomas then acquired the property. It was adjacent to the property that Joseph Antisell resided in Arbourhill. No doubt Joseph grew up at Straduff.
Sraduff - Taylor and Skinner record Antisell Esq as the proprietor of Straduff in the 1770s. T. Antisell occupied Sraduff in 1837 and Christopher Antisell was resident in a house valued at £10+ in Sraduff in the early 1850s. The house was valued at £15+ in 1906 and was held by Monsell Antisell with 342 acres of untenanted land. This house is now a ruin.[3]
