Unfortunately, he never got around to it. I have remedied the omission by reading Victoria Glendinning's fine biography, which covers Trollope's Irish period thoroughly. She gives in detail his various places of work and residence. He was for a time supervisor of the midlands and western districts. His places of residence and work while there are detailed by Glendinning, but no mention is made of Athlone.
