In the case of my Mulledy's I was lucky, they never moved.?? As? a? matter of fact because the name is not common it was easy to go through the first British census and find them in it.??? Because they stayed in one place it was? also easy to find the other families they married into, though those families either died out or left. Good luck with your search, Susan Mulledy -----Original Message----- From: king133@juno.com <king133@juno.com> To: irl-longford@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 3:06 pm Subject: [IRL-LONGFORD] Relocation in County Longford in 1820s Question: Does anyone have a 'feel' for how much our ancestors moved from townland to townland in the first half of the 1800s? If I look at the parish of Killoe and find only some of the children of 'James HUGHES' in the church records there, was it likely that the other Hughes children may have been born in another parish? or was movement from townland to townland not commonplace in the early 1800s?
