How could two families seem to be in two counties at roughly the same time. I have baptism of five children to John and Percival and Ann Rosemond in Clonguish Parish at Lissagernal..Alexander 1821,Elizabeth 1822,William 1824,Arthur 1828 and Eliza 1836.This was provided by Longford Genealogical society. From the IGI (and I spoke to the man who extracted the records and sent them to the IGI..an American who was related to the Percival family)I found Alexander born 1822 son of John born Aughriman Co Leitrim and William born abt 1828 Aughriman Kiltoghert Leitrim, Elizabeth 1831 Aughriman too and Thomas. Now I have met the grandchildren of Thomas. They also claim that John Percival and Anne Rosemond are their g grandparents, in fact they showed me the grave and knew the inscription on it. The grave is in Drumshambo,Kiltoghert Co Leitrim. Anne Rosemond's family were from Co Leitrim. I need hep urgently as I am flying to NZ tomorrow to discuss THE TREE with another descendent of Thomas. I am descended from Arthur. There was definitely a John Percival paying tithes in Lissagernal in 1829-33

Have far apart are the two places that the same family are supposed to be in? County Longford and County Leitrim march each other and it might (depending on distance) be a case that the family lived in one place but went to church in the other.

Yes, I realise the counties are attached but Currawn ,Mohill (no longer on maps) must be somewhere up near Drumshambo or Aughriman and therefore at least 15kms or more away...a long time back then.

The other families connected to these Percivals are McCormack, Jones, Dunbar,Crowe .Any relatives out there? John Percival leased land from the Earl of Granard as far back as 1782

In reply to Skm. I am descended from the same Percivals as you.Can you get in touch with me again. Victor and his brother are cousins of my mothers . I live in Australia descended from Arthur Percival but I have been to Ireland and met margaret and Ivy. I have done a fairly complete family tree but need to complete the picture. I have also been to New Zealand to meet other descendents of John and Ann

Does anyone here have information on Alexander Percival b. 1826 Longford, Ireland. Possible son of Henry Percival and Ann McCormick or perhaps a Roger Percival? May have a tie to Percivals from Leirtrim or possibly Wexford?? Thanks any information at all helps. I think the reason there may appear to be two families likely is because of different churches. There is a story in my family that Alexander's parents that the father was an Irish protestant and the mother a Scottish Catholic and hence they were rejected by their families. My Percival family ended up in Ontario, Canada.
