I forgot to mention there is a Pakenham Place, off the Dublin Road in Belfast in 1861, not really unusual, what is kinda nice is that, there is a R. J. Pakenham., manager, living at 2b Pakenham Street in the 1880 directory, no street in the 1861 directory, there is also a Pakenham Lane by 1880.
Also listed is a Rev. Arthur Hercules Pakenham, M.A., Langford Lodge, Crumlin. He is listed under magistrates in the 1880 Directory.
Listed under Crumlin:-
CRUMLIN
Is a small post town, parish of Camlin, in the County Antrim, fourteen and one-third English miles W. by N. from Belfast, situated on the road between Antrim and Lurgan, and two miles and a-half E. of the head of a bay of Lough Neagh. On the Camlin, which skirts the town, and from which river its name is a corruption, are extensive corn and flour mills. Wood-turning has been carried on to a very considerable extent during the last few years, and is likely to be extending still further; at Hiram Farr's mill, near Crumlin, and at Thomas Rea's mill, both on the Crumlin river, enormous quantities of chair-legs, table-legs, brush heads and handles of all sizes, axe-handles, spade and shovel shafts, peg-tops, &c., are turned out weekly/ From the situation of the town, near Lough Neagh, it derives facility of communication by water with Belfast, Newry, Antrim, Magherafelt, and other towns. Petty Sessions are held on the fourth Monday every month. The Parish Church was destroyed by the army of James II in 1689. For the convenience of members, services in connection with the Irish Church are held every Sunday evening, at 4-30, in the Court-house, Crumlin, and which are well attended. The Presbyterians and Unitarians have each a place of worship; and there are two Free Schools and a Dispensary. ONE OF THE SCHOOLS WAS BUILT AND ENDOWED BY THE LATE MAJOR-GENERAL THE HON. SIR H.R. PAKENHAM, of Langford Lodge; the other is under the National Board of Education.
Magistrates who presideat Petty Sessions - Rev. Arthur H. Pakenham.
