Actually, the Henry Cornelius's were land agents for the Coote family (and others) so I thought it would be a little easier to get additional info. Am coming to Ireland in Jan. so am trying to find out all the various places I need to go. Sorry, who is this lady "Mary"?

Author: sniliaghin Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.lex.general/2658.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: There was one Head of Household with the surname Cornelious listed in the 1901 census of Laois That was - a lady called Mary living in Ballytarsna, Castletown and Castletown has it's associations with Mountrath. It's not a surname that would be easy to find on a search in anyone's files given that the spelling you use is the same as that od a first name. I'm sure you are fuly aware of this, as any search for the surname Cornelius will turn you up tons of references to sites with the first name Cornelius. You might like to check out thsi Mary though, whether she was a widow, living with a family - whatever. I dont have any other information, not even the film ref number for the LDS 2/15 is my National Archives of Ireland ref no, that may be some help - though sometimes, when I have keyed in refs, my computer has changed them to wheatever it thinks they should be - the ref is either 2/15 or 15/2, Castletown DED, Offerlane parish Easily available through your local family history society - you pay a fee, they order in the film for you Best of luck Jane Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It is what would be classified as an unusual surname for Ireland. The Griffiths Primary Valuation has been mentioned to you in some replies, it is on linee for free on the Ask About ireland website. Go to that site, think of as many variations on Brisland that you can, substitute the different vowels where there is a vowel, remove the 'd' and pretty mush you will find all and any vriations listed in the Griffiths. Remember - back then and way before it (1850's), an awful lot of people spelled words phonetically - that is as they heard them and would spell what they heard. We Irish can speak fast, I currently live on No. 7 Dean XXX street, if I say 7 Dean street to someone, they 'hear' seventeen XXXX street. Having lived in a number of counties as a child, I do not have a strong accent which can be associated with any county. I am said to have a neutral accent and it is said that I speak clearly - but fast...... People had stronger accents back then than we do today *never* exclude something because it is not spelled exactly like you know it to be in your own family history. Yo uare not going to find this family immediately, you have some exploring to do. Begin with the Griffiths, it's freely available in line, I can't think of the URL off the top of my head but I know it's been given you in a reply. Check oiut the distribution of the surname on that site, which parishes does it occur in? Then, you have to check out the Tithe Applotment Books for those parishes -s ee where you can find this surname in the Tithes - or variations of the surname. Temember what I have said about substituting the different vowels, find all the variations, then go to the parish records if they exist and that's the best you can do to begin with. It's a surname that will turn up - and Denis is not the most common of first names. Focus on the areas you find a Denis in and people with the same first name that he gave his first son. If the records are there, and you do as I say, eventually you wil find something - if it is there. The least you wil end up knowing is something about the surname in all of ireland or just Laois - and that, is a lot more than others ever learn.

I know that the "Brislan/Breslin" is extremely unusual in Laois...but I did a search of 1850's Griffith's Valuation of the all of the variants of this surname I could think of (Breslin, Brislin, Braslin, Brisland, etc...) and came up with ONLY 2 HITS - Bryan and Thomas BRUSLAND in the townland of Glenkeen Upper, near Clonaslee. Search the following link: http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_family_search_form.php Also, there is a James Brusland still living in Glenkeen Upper in the 1901 census, see following link: http://64.233.169.132/search?q=cache:Ce4vzPEjp48J:www.from-ireland.net/laois/census/1901/kilmanman.htm brusland 1901&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us If you are certain that your Dennis Brisland hails from county Laois, then Glenkeen Upper may be a possibilty.
