Thank you Jack,
Its good to see that Langfords were living in place, at least until recent decades.
I have since made contact with my fellow living Langford-descendants in other counties of Ireland, and their descendants in Australia and Canada.
Regards,
Stuart

Clare / Re: HASTINGS RICHARDS Dunas c1830s

Hi LH,
I know of the existence of Ann Hasting or Hastings from the BDM certificates of her children. One certificate has Ann's birthplace as Dunas, another gives it as Bryant's Bridge, Limerick, consistent with your helpful information below. The available certificates give no leads on parent's names for Ann.
I know Ann Hastings and her husband Charles Richards had a daughter Charlotte Richards born 1855 (source: BDM certificates): hospital records show Charlotte Richards (b1855) was admitted under a religion code of Anglican (source:"Dunolly Hospital Admission Registers"). On the other hand, the hospital records also reveal the existence of a George Hastings (b Ireland c 1820 died Dunolly 1875) who was Roman Catholic. I have no other evidence for a family relationship between George and Ann. I know Ann Hasting's husband Charles Richards (c1824-1880) was born in Staten, Prussia but religion is unknown.
Yes, I was confused as the the historic location of Dunas/Doonass. I note Google Earth that Dunas and Bryant's Bridge are more or less on the borders of the two counties.
With many thanks for your interest

Clare / HASTINGS RICHARDS Dunas c1830s
« on: Sunday 20 April 08 10:42 BST (UK) »
Dear all,
Ann Hastings was born c1834 in Dunas, Co Clare (or perhaps in Limerick). She married a Charles Richards in the Victorian goldfields 1854. Her husband was born in Prussia but may have spent time in Ireland. [source: Victorian death certificates of Ann and Charles].
I am hoping to locate either of these families in that region at that time.
With many thanks in advance

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Charles Smith-Census 1841 1851
« on: Tuesday 15 April 08 09:59 BST (UK) »
Dear volunteer,
Charles Smith was born in London in the period 1830-1834 most likely 1832.
He emigrated sometime before his marriage in Melbourne, Australia 16 Dec 1852
Family hearsay is that he was from the Smiths that begat Elizabeth Cook nee Batts, wife of Captain James Cook, navigator. It is said these families spent time with each other; it is therefore possible that these surnames will be found cohabiting in the censuses.
With many thanks in advance

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

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

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
