The account of 1802 is clearly derived from the Curraghmore MS., but omits dates; calls Sir Tristram Beresford "Sir Marcus "; leaves out the visit to Gill Hall, where the ghost appeared, and substitutes blanks for the names of persons concerned.

Otherwise the differences in the two versions are mainly verbal.
THE BERESFORD GHOST "There is at Curraghmore, the seat of Lord Waterford, in Ireland, a manuscript account of the tale, such as it was originally received and implicitly believed in by the children and grandchildren of the lady to whom Lord Tyrone is supposed to have made the supernatural appearance after death.

The account was written by Lady Betty Cobbe, the youngest daughter of Marcus, Earl of Tyrone, and granddaughter of Nicola S., Lady Beresford.

She lived to a good old age, in full use of all her faculties, both of body and mind.

I can myself remember her, for when a boy I passed through Bath on a journey with my mother, and we went to her house there, and had luncheon.
