PRONI has many of the Mercer company records. The company itself in
London has an archive as well. According to their Archivist,
however, the early records (before about 1860's-70's as I recall)
mostly cover only transactions and correspondence between the company
and the middle-man/agent they used in Ireland and related
records. It has very little on the actual occupiers of the land
beyond statistics. That said, its always worth a try looking at
them. The Mercer Archivist seemed willing to help when I contacted
them 2-3 years ago on an unrelated query.
