Dear Everyone I've been listening in for just over a week now and found the thread on styles of research very interesting. Whatever your view, there is no doubt that the Internet has made contacts between researchers of similar interests very much easier and that is what I most enjoy. It is so exciting to find that someone else has been researching exactly the same people and so wonderful to compare notes and ideas. So, I am hoping that someone will be reading this, with raised heart rate, because they too have links with the surnames listed above. The research that has bought me to this list is into my husband's family, LESLIE-ELLIS who lived at Magherymore near Wicklow until 1956. His grandparents were John Lancelot Leslie-Ellis, 1902-1961 and Joyce Hilda HAWKINS, 1906-1987. Prior to 1850s the surname was just ELLIS, so I'm interested in this surname too. I look forward to hearing from anyone with similar interests. Best wishes Kate Burhouse Exmouth, Devon Also seeking my RANNcestors!

Hi All My great grandfather, William ELLIS, was born c. 1828. The only information that I have about his family is that his father was Robert, a Farmer. William was a schoolteacher. He married Sophia ELLIOTT in Church of Ireland, Rathdowney, Co. Laois (Queen's County) in 1853. They subsequently lived in Tipperary, Co. Sligo (Riverstown), Co. Wicklow (Shillelagh), Co. Louth (Dunany) and Co. Kilkenny (Gowran). Schoolteachers obviously moved around a lot in those days! I have traced most of the intervening ELLISes but haven't been able to get back beyond Robert ELLIS, the Farmer. I haven't linked any LESLIE-ELLISes with my family tree but have quite a few connections with Co. Wicklow (Shillelagh & Rathdrum), particularly the SPEARES family. Regards Brian Ellis Dun Laoghaire Co.
