Matthew signs a 31 year lease for 60 acres, 1 rod and 30 perches of land from the vast estate of Edward H. Keoghe. At that time Edward Keoghe controls all the lands in Carrigmore, Ballinaclare and Breagura.
The lease does have one condition: "Excepting and reserving to lessor all mines, minerals, quarries and game, with right of hunting, hawking, fishing and fowling on said lands." A phrase commonly inserted into such leases - interesting in this case as the land is the location of the Ballinaclare Quarry.
The lease also provides for Matthew's son and daughter-in-law: "Patrick Russell and Elizabeth Russell, his wife, during their joint lives, and the survivor of them, the cabin or cottage heretofore occupied by them"

In 1833 the local church was St. Patrick's in Barranisky, built to replace the Redcross parish church destroyed in 1798. A small church would later be built in Avoca village but was soon deemed insufficient to deal with the large numbers of miners who moved to the area. Construction began on what would become the Avoca 'Parish Church' (located in the village) in 1860. The previous church was converted into a National School.
