I am looking for information concerning my Great-grandparents Richard Lord and Alicia Pratt married in 1861 in Aghaboe, Queens Co. Richards father was Thomas Lord (believed to be English) and Alicia's father was Thomas Pratt. Richard served in the 82nd Regiment of Foot in the Crimea and in Lucknow. Children born to Richard and Alicia Lord: Richard Lord b. 1867 - Mountrath, Queens Co Margaret Lord b. 1869 - Mountrath, Queens Co. (m. James Anderson) Thomas Lord b. John (Jack) Lord b. James b. 1874 - Mountrath, Queens (Married Elizabeth Campbell) - my grandparents Alicia b. 1871 - Mountrath, Queens (married Murphy) Richard and Alicia's children lived in Ballyfin and Richard died there - date unknown. I have been unsuccessful in locating Richard's military records and also do not know the origins of his father Thomas. I would be interested in sharing information about the Lord family.

I have an 1840 marraige certificate of my Great Great grandmother Susannah Lord when she married Oliver Strong in Rose Nollis, Queen's co. Ireland. She is from Rose Nallis, and Oliver was from Mt. Mellick. we may be related. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Gardiner" <gardiner@log.on.ca> To: <IRL-LAOIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 11:32 AM Subject: Re: [LAOIS] Laois Roll Call - Richard Lord/Alicia Pratt > I am looking for information concerning my Great-grandparents Richard Lord > and Alicia Pratt married in 1861 in Aghaboe, Queens Co.

Catherine, I am not familiar with the name SUSANNAH LORD, but given the geographic proximity to my ancestors, I think it is possible we are related. RICHARD LORD had several brothers living in Laois County. I am certain JAMES LORD, WILLIAM LORD and THOMAS LORD (named after Richard's father), were his brothers but to confuse matters he also had nephews with the same names. There may have been other brothers as well. Should any of these names appear on the birth certificate for SUSANNAH LORD, it would seem likely that we are related. (RICHARD appeared to be a younger son of THOMAS LORD making me believe that Susannah could be his niece.) Please let me know if you see any relationship in the above.

The Pratt refs in the tithes are before the time you are looking for and the gravestone inscriptions later - but it's not the most common of names in Laois. Jane Pratt surname Aghaboe area http://www.from-ireland.net/aughaboetithes.htm http://www.from-ireland.net/graves/rathsarantrans.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Gardiner" <gardiner@log.on.ca> To: <IRL-LAOIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [LAOIS] Laois Roll Call - Richard Lord/Alicia Pratt > I am looking for information concerning my Great-grandparents Richard Lord
