I am a direct descendant of Thomas Kilduff and his son Bernard Kilduff who were originally from Rallicorbally, Taghmon, Westmeath, where Thomas owned 9 acres of land according to the 1825 Griffith's Valuation. In fact, during my genealogical research I noted several place names in the Taghmon and surrounding area that contained Kilduff residents, I am assuming these persons were all related.
The following individuals are my GGGgrandparents and family:
Husband: Thomas Kilduff, date of birth and death unknown.
Wife: Mary Louisa Kilduff, date of birth and death unknown.
Children of Thomas and Mary:
1. John Kilduff: born 1825 in Rallicorbally, Taghmon, Westmeath date of death unknown.
2. Bernard Kilduff: born 1827 in Rallicorbally, Taghmon, Westmeath and died 1899 in New York City, New York, United States.
3. Helen Kilduff: date of birth and death unknown.
4. Peter Kilduff: date of birth and death unknown.
5. Thomas Kilduff: date of birth and death unknown.
Bernard Kilduff, my GGgrandfather, emigrated to the United States with his wife Mary Wall and their son Patrick during 1842. Bernard had a total of 14 children who also begat large families and now thrive throughout the United States. I have no information about Thomas Kilduff, his wife or their other children, except for three additional Griffith's Valuations that identify these individuals in the Taghmon area.
I would be greatly interested to learn more about the Kilduff family from Taghmon and appreciate any information provided. Thank you very much in advance.
