I know that many of the Henry Cornelius's left the country for NZ and even here in the UK. The reason why I am focusing on Mountrath is because there is a family vault there of the Cornelius's. It would contain valuable information if I could locate it, such as wives' names and dates. We are also trying to find an Edward Cornelius - who might have come from Holland. He married Sophia Atkinson of Dublin. Yes, have thought of different spellings esp. since he apparently came from the Netherlands, but my search has come up with nothing! We had no problem finding Sophia - who lived to be 101! She's buried at St. Andrews Church. But again, nothing about where he is buried. There is a family history center in Leicester and/or Nottingham - so maybe I should try there. My main reason of coming is research, but that being said I recently obtained Irish citizenship from my grandmother Cornelius so my coming is a little more than pure research. How I wish I could live there.... Regards Deborah Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
