Isaac William who died in 1916 in Somme was born 14 May 1896, another male born 6 March,1897 (probably died young), Rosie Priscilla May Emma born 1 May 1898 and Bloomfield Meyler born 7 September 1899 married Sarah Yeates daughter of William Yeates farmer in Magdalen Church of Ireland Dublin on 19 November 1940.
Thank you for the further information on Bloomfiled Meyler Usher. We have a copy of a fine portrait of Dr. Isaac Usher.
These Ushers are descendents of Arland Usher who was Mayor of Dublin 1469 and this branch are known as the Ushers of Birr. The first Reunion of the Ushers of Birr was held in 2007 and every two years since, hence our interest in tracing descendents.
