Hi Floxxie
I've done a significant amount of research on the Leek family of Tamlaghtard and have them living in Macosquin on the Hearth Money Rolls of Charles ll's reign following the Cromwellian settlement. I haven't been able to find their origins in England but there is no apparent records of them in the area in Plantation times, so presumably the name arrived with the task force (New Model Army?) to quell the Irish Rebellion.
I'm very keen to dust of my old genealogy records and assist with your research, and look forward to possibly learning something new about the Leeks.
Julian
Thank you Julian. I hope I can find something new for you although finding their origins sounds like it might be a post-dissertation project! Just send me a message when you have dusted off the files and we can have a chat about your family lines.
