Hello, I've recently joined this list with the hope of finding my PENDER ancestors. My earliest Pender thus far is William Francis Pender b. ca. 1849 in Ireland, who immigrated to the US in 1857 and settled in New Jersey. His father's name is given as William on his death certificate. As yet, I have not been able to identify a specific place of birth. Using Griffith's Evaluation, I have come up with a list of four William Penders in four different locations. Among them is a William Pender who occupied a house on Malt House Lane in Kilrush, Co. Clare. Has anyone any information on this Pender family in Kilrush? Many thanks in advance, Lynda
