Records pertaining to Colonel Kumar Sri Sir Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji II (His Highness the Maharajah Jam Sahib, 1872-1933), ruler of the Indian state of Nawanagar from 1907 to 1933, famed Test cricketer for England, the earliest top-class Indian cricketer, and owner of Ballynahinch, County Galway between 1925 and his death. Following Ranjitsinhji's death, his nephew sold the castle to the Dublin-based McCormack family, and in 1946 it passed into the control of the Irish Tourist Board who converted it into a hotel.
