LANGFORD

[collinscarnegie]

Hi all,
I am hoping for leads on the LANGFORD family.
John Langford(c1800-1860) was born Ballyhupahaun  He married a Sarah Curtis(c1808-1895). Children were John, William, Ann and Jane.
William (b Drummond 1839 d Brunswick Victoria 1912) married 1864 Wesleyan Chapel, Charleston Rd, Dublin, Ireland to  Louisa Sinclair Jones (b 1839 Dublin died 1915 Melbourne Victoria). [source: family history document]. I note a William and Louisa and 4 children were present on the  'Western Empire' which  arrived Melbourne September 1871 [Victorian PRO]

My family history document says: "They lived at Drummond, Ireland and their graves are in the Churchyard of St Brigids Church at Rosenallis..... The land they farmed has changed hands several times but as far as I know is still known as "Langford's field" at Rosenallis. There are several tablets and a window in the church to the memory of departed Langfords."

I would be grateful if anyone has leads on this family

Best wishes to all
Stuart

Welcome to Rootschat.
Since the dates you need are before civil registration in Ireland you need to search for church records (if they still exist). To do so you need to know the family's religion and where they lived and then start looking. Have you tried searching the LDS catalogue (www.familysearch.org) in case they have microfilmed the records you need?

No leads on IGI, unfortunately. My LANGFORDS were almost certainly Wesleyan

Not IGI- LDS online catalogue.

Unfortunately I can't find anything on the LDS catalog for Laois that might help- no church records, no probate, no tax
