Longworth-Dames Ballyburly
« on: Monday 29 August 11 23:13 BST (UK) »
hi, this is probably a long shot but would anyone know if there are an records left for the staff of Thomas Longworth-dames, Justice of the peace and deputy lieutenant in the early 1900s, it looks possible that my Great great grandparents met while working for him around 1902. It looks like there were two longworth-dames families one living in Greenhill and the other in Ballyburly.

thanks

Hello, I also have ancestors who worked for them in Ballyburly in 1901, they seem to be gone by 1911 so am not sure what happened to them. I haven't been able to find anything further so would be delighted if there are any staff records etc held....

Yeah I saw that alright, my ancestors were Hughes based in Greenhills, I see from OS maps that the old house seems to be still there... but who lives in it now I haven't been able to find out.

Strangely I have some records of the staff during the 1901 Census.  My Great Great Grandgather Christopher Murphy was the butler working on March 31st with one his son Christopher Patrick Murphy who was 15 years old and a Page.  I know later another son James Murphy - my great Grandfather was the Butler and Christopher Patrick was second in charge.  They emigrated to America later after family lore said the house was burned down.
