Having followed up on all the really helpful information that was sent to me, I have a new question. On searching through the Valuation revision books, I've found Patrick Lynch. It seems he was able to purchase the tenanted family farm in 1909 under the LAP ( the Land Purchase Acts). In the 1897-1915 book I can see the old owner of the farm, Francis Gervais, has been crossed out. In the column "immediate lessors" there is a word I can't make out. It looks like "Infee" - I have no idea what this means - does anyone have any ideas? I've attached a photo of it.
Many thanks in advance.

“In fee” means the occupant had acquired the freehold. So it was no longer leased. Obviously that’s consistent with a Land Act purchase.
