Got it now, I did put it in correctly but copied from here and had a full stop after the net bit.  Sorry about that.  You should hear from me soon.

Hi again,
I possibly wasn't clear in my post as I do not want to post too much current information on a public site, but the Griffiths still live in Rosdellig and my mother was one of them. I still live nearby.  I have a lot of our line of the family tree done, but Ireland's records have huge gaps that cannot be fixed so family lore and emmigration / immigration records are very important.

My great grandmother was Anna Maria Griffith.  I cannot get past her father George as his father was only buried in Rosdillig.  I have no idea where Edward came from.  There is nothing on Irish genealogy for a marriage.  I am also stuck with the Leech side. It is lovely to know Griffiths still live there and as Anna moved away I have no family lore to fall back on.

Many thanks for reply.  Where did you find the information on Edward back to Matthew as there is no mention of them on irishgenealogy/ie. and do you know where they came from as I presume it isn't Rosdellig?

The information comes from two sources. William "Billy" Griffith who is related to me by DNA got the tree info from some Griffith folks from Rosdellig. I added the bolded parts based on data from some Fenagh records I have (grave stones) as it appears to match well.

I do not attest to it's 100% accuracy but instead it is possible theory that needs to be confirmed. It is far easier to prove a positive than a negative.

I hope it helps.

I'm looking for the father of Richard Griffith who lived in Carlow Ireland.  Richard married Amelia Hayes on February 3,1840 at Kiltennell Carlow.  They had three children baptized in Kiltennell Carlow.  Their names were Rosanna, Wlliam and Margery. Richard and Amelia left Ireland for United States aboard the ship Hottinguer on March 3, 1849 from Liverpool to New York.

Thanks!
