Reposting info: THOMAS ROCHFORD married MARGARET RUSSELL (dau. of Patrick Russell and Catherine Fowler)in Slane in 1855, according to the Meath Heritage Center. The witness was Tom Williams. They were Catholic. Since they named their first son, James, and their first dau, Anna, these could be the first names of the paternal grandparents? Would appreciate any info on Rochford.

Hi Bryan, I'm willing to bet they also turn up as OWEN from time to time...

Hi Steve, I inadvertently misled you - the family I was referring to were OWEN as opposed to OWENS. Keep looking!

The only Owens I know was the Revd Owens, one time vicar of Oldcastle and Loughcrew, who became the Bishop of Killaloo (I think that's where it was). This was in the 1950s.

Looking for any connections whatsoever for OWENS in Meath/Louth. Especially in Julianstown, though any information is welcome. They were Church of Ireland, and seem to have been moderately prosperous (had the vote; called Esq. in newspapers & MIs; etc.) This is my known OWENS family in Meath & Louth: 1. Simon OWENS of Julianstown, b. c1770?, Meath sp Christina MCGOUGH b. c1775?, Dublin marr. 28 Apr 1796, St Mary's, Dublin (IGI unconfirmed) 2. male b. bef 1800, Meath? 2. Edward OWENS b. c1800, Meath? ("of Castlebellingham Louth" by 1838) sp Sarah COULTER b. c1812, Dowdalshill?, Dundalk, Louth marr. 24 Feb 1838, Louth 3. Jane Margaret OWENS b. 1839, Castlebellingham, Louth 3. Simon OWENS b. c1841, Castlebellingham?, Louth 3. Joseph OWENS b. c1843, Ireland 3. Thomas Coulter OWENS b. c1844, Ireland 3. Edward OWENS b. c1846, Ireland 3. William McGough OWENS b. c1848, Ireland 3. George Lawson OWENS b. c1850, Ireland 3. Christina Matilda OWENS b. c1851, Ireland 3. Mary Isabella OWENS b. c1852, Ireland 3. Samuel Arthur Wellington OWENS b. c1855, Trim, Meath Edward OWENS & Sarah COULTER & all their listed children emigrated to Queensland, Australia in 1863; Sarah died 1880, and Edward died 1883. They are my g3-grandparents; I have lots of info for the family in Australia after the 1863 move. The following OWENS are probably also connected, joins not yet found: 1. Thomas OWENS of Julianstown, c1717-1789; bur. Mullary sp Mary c1755-1805; bur. Mullary 2. Ann OWENS c1784-1801; bur. Mullary 2.
