I have relatives named Lavelle from Faulmore on the mullett in Mayo. My grandfather Thomas Ford came from a town called Lug of the Cly on the mullett. For years my cousins kidded me about the name until an aged woman showed me where he lived and I talked to the parish priest and got records. Now I check back and it shows that his father was James had he lived in bingingstown on the mullet which was owned by a landlord. The priest told me that James's son was not easy to get along with the landlord and that is probably why he came to America. I will share this information with you. I am also been told that the name ford came from County Cork but who knows Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
