the following information was found:

peace for the county of Galway deceased who died 17th December 1872 at
the same place was proved at the Principal Registry by the oath of
Edward Thomas Stapleton at No 28 College Green Dublin Solicitor the
sole executor.
Unfortunately this will no longer existed, as the entire collections
of wills were destroyed in the fire in the four courts in 1922. There
are a few will books from which the original wills were transcribed,
but do not apply to this case.
