When I saw "MORRIS" my eyes perked up!! Now, if you happen across a MORRIS/BROWNRIGG connection (as in Jane and William), that's mine. Also, I strongly feel there is going to come to light a MORRIS/FEARON link.....perhaps all these are linked to VALENTINE! m Mary Villalba SS United States Conservancy Secretary, Board of Directors (303) 290-8415 Tele P.

LOFTUS Thank you Terri for reminding me ! One of my ancestors , in the early/mid 1800's married a widow ....Loftus who was formerly a Griffin or visa versa. Have been trying to trace the details but hit the proverbial 'brick wall' .

Susanna Leggett was born around 1798 in Coolafancy Co wicklow Ireland she married William Mitchell of Tombreagh Hacketstown I am seeking their marriage date should you have it and confirmation of childrens births as well Cheers Cara

Just of interest Frederick Charles Loftus was born about 1884 and died March 1961 at Lower Cullen Co Wicklow Ireland and was buried at Dunganstown on 4th March 1961. Margaret Loftus who may have been born nee ? died December 1938 and was born c1852 is also buried at Dunganstown Co Wicklow 1938 Wiliam Loftus was born around 1846 and he died Nov 1899 at Knocknapark ( now I am not sure i have this townland correctly deciphered) he has a son Richard Loftus who married Sarah Smith 15th Dec 1906 Sarah was born around 1874 and died Nov 1920 at Stockadon Villas Landulph S. Mellion East Cornwall her father was George Smith Bride was full age and a spinster Groom was full age and a bachelor they were married by church of Ireland licence and by James Wright the rector Marriage was witnessed by Edward Smith and Frederick Loftus who is the brother of Richard. Their father William Loftus lived in Co Cork Ireland I am miles from my own office, but I think and remember this is only a think, from this distance that William Loftus born c1846 may have been a clergyman. Also the associated burials of Loftus folk at Dunganstown does give the conclusion that they also lived and died in the area for many years. Whether this family is a branch of the family from Co Wexford I cannot say at this time in my research. I am adding it here to show that a Loftus family did indeed live in Co Wicklow for many years. Cheers for the moment Cara

The Loftus family in the 1700s was from Loftus Hall in Co. Wexford, and they were connected to the Alcock family of Wilton Castle, near Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.

Hi Cara, we dont need yu ill me

Brendan, As I have said before and I say again, I dont know the south from the east so when I say to you that the name you seek was situated around Shillalegh is that South Wicklow, now dont be any of you cracking up as I explain I have no idea where anything is at this given moment in time. Well truth be known any time...........but thats my problem not yours Lady on the Carlow list name of Barb Dowling could assist you more on the area as her William Dowling married a derivative of the name Anne Astelford in the parish of Aghowle. So suggest you give the Carlow archives a hunt for Barbara If you dont ask you will never know then will you. Cheers from a girl on the mend now been down like a wet blanket with a virul infection but up and back at it now cheers from here cara

Hi I am wondering has anybody come across ASSELFORDs? Can also be spelt Astleford etc. but there seems to be a branch that used ASSELFORD. I think a John VALENTINE married a Mary ASSELFORD in 1815-1820, perhaps south Wicklow. She may have died by the mid 1830s and he may have remarried a RAINSFORD. Thanks Brendan
