Spencer & Brophy Families in Laois
« on: Friday 27 February 09 12:08 UTC (UK) »
I am looking into the origins of my Great Great Grandparents Henry and Anne (Brophy) Spencer who came from Ireland. Henry was born about 1811 and Anne around 1821. Both were of the Roman Catholic religion.

There were a family of Brophy's who were Stonemasons who moved from Roseanalis. Co Laois to Vicarstown in the same County. This was at the same time as the canal was been built there. My gt gt grandad Henry Spencer was also a stonemason and records show that a Henry Spencer also lived in Roseanalis. He married Ann Brophy around 1835 and she may have been part of the above family?

Around 1854, along with their children Susan, Lucy, George, Mary, Ann, Ellen, Margaret and Elizabeth, the family sailed to Liverpool from Newry and eventually settled in the North of England where Agnes (Preston), Julia, Henry jnr (Blackburn) and Joseph (Bradford) were born.

If anyone has any information on the above family I would be pleased to know.

My great great grandmother was Bridget Brophy she married John Conroy.  I know very little about Bridget but know she and John lived in Queens County (Clonaslee).  There children were born from 1857-1876.  Childrens names are:  Edward, Thomas, Anne, Mary, Honora, Eliza, Bridget, James and Margaret.  Given the children's birth years I would guess Bridget was born around 1830.  If you have come across her name in your Brophy search and have any parent/sibling info I would love to see it.
