Hello I am new to this list and am researching my gggrandparents Patrick Leonard and Margaret nee Kelly. I believe Patrick's father may have been Robert Hickson Leonard. They were married in the RC Church in Bruff in 1849 and their son Joseph was born in 1853. In 1854 they emigrated to Australia where they had a large family. Any information on the Leonard family from Bruff, Limerick would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Maureen, At the time of the Griffith's Valuation in Limerick in 1851 there was a Patrick Leonard in the Civil Parish of Bruff in the town of Bruff. There was no Robert Leonard at that time in all of Limerick. Also, with respect to Kelly there was within the Civil Parish of Bruff a John Kelly, T/L of Newtown, and a Patrick and a Thomas from Brackvoen. If it was me I would look to see how close Brackvoen and Newtown was to the town of Bruff. This may give you some indication as to where they were actually from.
