Hi Anne have you tried the " "Todd surname" site, http://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/toddboard.htm it has quite a lot of information and researchers for Ireland and someone may be able to help, my own Todd line ends in Belfast abt 1800 with a William Todd-son ORR Todd, I have three William's in the 1840 living close together and as unable to find a birth for Orr in church records I am up in the air with this line as do not know which of the three William's is mine!, keep in touch as very interested in any "Todd" developments Yvonne Lascelles (nee Todd) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Lackey" <rlackey127@charter.net> To: <irl-antrim@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 10:47 PM Subject: [IRL-ANTRIM] Roll call: TODD and CARMICHAELl > Andrew Todd and Janet Carmichael left the port of Belfast in 1798 with > four children - Archibald, Janet, Ellender, and John.
