Rachel, I have not forgotten your kindness of the enclosed reply to my message. I wonder if you could tell me how I could get some information on these John Austins in Taghshinny Civil Paris? When you have a moment, Please check my websites, describing my recent book: www.Xlibirs.com/JaneAGottschall.html www.Xlibris.com/AsPistonsFlew.html Click on "Read Excerpts" gives entire first chapter. There are chapters in my book describing my visits to Ireland too. Thanks, Jane.

He found two Knight households, maybe same as McKnights. (I have noticed that families were variable about using an Mc, O or going plain.) James Knight was at Cornadowagh in Cashel Parish, Margaret at Carrowroe in Rathcline. These places are fairly close together. Rachel Smith >>
