Hello All, Recently I found a death record for my second g. grandfather Thomas Broughal/Braughal. (Last name is often spelled with other close variants). Thomas Broughal died in Newark, NJ, USA on April 16th, 1882. His age was given as 70 which I think was a few years above his actual age. Thru the IFHF and the County Wicklow Heritage Centre I found a birth/baptismal record for a Thomas Broughall from 1816 which I think was his. Parents names on this record were William Broughall and Honor/Hanah. Family was RC and Parish listed was Dunlavin. Later a sister to this Thomas was born and baptised on 08/30/1818 Parish of Valleymount. Later my second g. grandfather Thomas Broughal/Braughal was married at Ballymore Eustace Parish to Esther Poland on 04/29/1840. (Ballymore Eustace Parish stretches between County Kildare & Wicklow. It is just north of Dunlavin where I think my Thomas Broughal/Braughal was born in 1816). Children of Thomas and Esther born and baptised at Ballymore Eustace Parish were: James, 07/22/1841; Hugh, 1843; a second James, 02/24/1846; Mary, 03/06/1848; Joseph, 02/09/1851. The family emigrated to Newark, NJ about 1853. My great grandmother Esther Mary Braughal was born in Newark in July 1854 to the same parents. Later another sister Mary was born in Newark in October 1857. Do these Broughal/Braughal family names from Counties Kildare/Wicklow connect with anyone out there. I am happy to share my information with anyone who inquires. I lasted posted about my Broughal/Braughal's about one year ago. Thanks, Jack Smith
