Dublin. I don't have a lot on them but I do have: St. Columba's Churchyard (C of I), Swords cemetery marker: "Erected by their daughters in memory of James Sandford who died Sept 26th,1854 age 40 years; also their beloved mother, Margaret Sandford, who died May 25th 1859 aged 49 years. Not gone from memory, not from love. But gone to our father's home above. Also their son-in-law, Walter B. Phillips who died on the 8th day of June 1901 aged 56 years. Heb. 7.25. Also his wife Sarah who died 2nd Dec. 1917 aged 73 years. Prov. 10.22" Thomas Directory for Dublin and County Dublin (1850) lists James Sandford, Draper, etc. of Swords. I also know that James Sandford, Sr (born about 1763) was the post master in Swords. My line is a son of James, William, who married Mary Anne Stewart in Swords. Hope this helps a little.
