Samuel Crosthwaite was a large scale miller at BAGENALSTOWN around the 1820s to 1840s, possibly longer.  His address in Pigot's 1824 Provincial Directory for Leighlinbridge gives an address for (probably) him at Lodge Mills. There were also Crosthwaites not far away, farming near ATHY in Co Kildare, one of whose sons, John, was the Dublin clock maker; a John Crosthwaite in LAOIS (Queen's Co) married to an Elizabeth with a son Samuel born c.1838; a Leland Crosthwaite with mills just outside Dublin at LEIXLIP, Co Kildare, a son of whom probably was Thomas Crosthwaite, a governor of the Bank of Ireland, and Leland Crosthwaite of Clontarf. Are all or some of these families connected? Bill. ======================================= Before you post a message to the IRL-CARLOW mailing list you must subscribe to the List.
