I can't get this to come up on Ancestry. Was it Ancestry UK or Ancestry.com you were using? What search criteria were you using.

Googled Irish Visitation and, apart from Visitations by the Pope, the only thing that makes any sense was an agreement between American and English and Irish Inns of Court, but that doesn't seem to have started until 1988!

Christine...A brief explanation re "Visitations" and "Presentments"...
These were relative to "Church Courts" going back 16th and 17th Century...
Church Warden's could present Parishioners of the Parish for offences under Ecclesiastical Law...
If you check out Church Courts...16th century you will get a fuller more in depth explanation.

Hi Christine, if you click on the Search tab on Ancestry and then click on Card Catalogue at the bottom. Type in Irish Visitation in Keyword in the Search section on the left hand side and it should bring you to the record that you found originally....hopefully!!!

Christine...I do not have Ancestry so cant even comment on what it is your looking for/at....No it would not be a "Family Tree".....it may be John Sandes is the Church Warden/Official conducting the Visitation as he has signed the Document...
What were you looking for to end up with the Research Guide for Irish Visitations..?

This is what Ancestry says about it's database

About Ireland Visitation

This database contains genealogies of some of the citizens of Ireland. In Ireland, the Ulster King of Arms (not the Herald, as in England) was in charge of controlling the use of coats of arms under the direction of the British Crown. The Ulster conducted visitations to record this use. Part of this recording included recording the pedigrees of the families using coats of arms. Pedigrees were recorded because families had to prove their right to bear the arms by showing their connections back to the original bearers. Because coats of arms were passed down through the generations, armory, or heraldry, has much genealogical value. This visitation, therefore, is significant because it provides over 150 pedigree charts as well as several illustrations of coats of arms used by families in Ireland.

Taken from: Herber, Mark D. Ancestral Trails. Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1998, pp. 492-494.

Very complex.

Christine....I can only suggest you send me via a PM the details you have found from Ancestry as I may be able to cross check them so far I have not located a Sale (Richard) or a John Sandes of Greenville Co Kerry although I have found Lancelot/Charles and families ....Are you certain it is the Co Kerry and not the Co Kilkenny...? Where did Richard Sale originate...?

Christine...Have found the answer to my question re Richard Sale...here he is with family...1881 Census...(note it has Maud F Sale but a check of her Baptism shows Maud Tudor...

Christine...I am not sure how/why you ended up in the Irish Visitations but the John Sandes you refer to married Maud Tudor Sale June 1896..in Derbyshire... 1901 they were living in Dublin (John b Co Kerry was a Barrister) with their family...
Do you have this info...? what exactly are you trying to find....Mauds family came from Derbyshire and John's were perhaps attached to the "Sandes" Estates Co Kerry...
You will be able to determine John's fathers name by obtaining their MC.

Eringobragh1916 Report 11 Nov 2010 21:16

Christine....There is only 1 Birth Co Kerry for a John Sandes (1868) which would fit with his age 1901 Census and the parents were George Sandes and Ann Whyte.
