I am gathering data on Griffith families in Carlow. My own branch came from Co. Kilkenny but spilled over into Co. Carlow around places like Ridge and Killedmond. I have seen others in Fenagh, Dunlekney, Nurney, and Bagnelstown.
I have found that to keep them all straight that it is prudent to collect all of the records. So if you have any Griffith family data I would be most happy to exchange data.
-
Perhaps the Ireland census for your local area would be a good starting ground.
Includes 1901-1911.

Thanks do much Jack. I have looked an found many families in both Kilkenny and Carlow. Based on some of the other companion families I believe there were other Griffith families in Wexford and Wicklow.
Here's a great website for church records:

The Annie Griffith married to Nicholas Hopkins would be on the 1911 census as living in Newtown (mispelled Bewtown) ded of Agha co Carlow
Her husband was living in Agha ded of Agha at that time
They had only one daughter Olga (proper name Eleanor i think) who married firstly Billy Jeffers (one son deceased and one daughter still alive) then Alfie Fennel
She died about two or three years ago
The Griffith family name is gone now from the area
Hope this is of some small help
-
Thanks for adding your information. It all helps. It is better to have too many puzzle pieces than none at all!
I have managed to connect my Griffith family that came from around Coolcullen in Co. Kilkenny to another group in Ridge Co. Carlow. They are not that far apart. I did so through DNA. We were the first and second matches on the Griffith DNA website.
There are still living remnants of my Griffith line in Ireland that stayed on the land. My direct descendents left for Canada in the 1820's-30's. They were still coming into the 1920's.
If anyone has anyother info I look forward to recieving it,

Dublin Metropolitan Police 1836-1925 (Jim Herlihy)
Griffith Robert; DMP 2117, born. 1818 Dunleckny Co Carlow.
Jack

Thanks so much for the info. The military and police were popular with the Griffith family as I have others who served as young as 16 years of age. The first name of Robert was also popular.
I do have a ROBERT GRIFFITH Date of Birth 21 September 1816 in Dunleakney Father JOHN GRIFFITH
Mother SARAH GRIFFITH
I have a Henery Griffith b. 1798 in Dunlickny whose father was also Henery (and wife Mary)
I am also looking into the "Carlow Rifles" as a possible source of data.
-
my great grandmother was Anna Maria Griffith born in Rosdillig to George Griffith and Mary Leech. Can find no record or George's birth or his father Edward. Can you help at all?
-

based on the years of the civil births for George and Mary's children (1865 to 1868), then George would have been born in the 1840s or earlier, so you would have to search for a baptism for him. Do you know Griffith family religion ?
Shane
-
I have looked on the baptisms on irishgenealogy.ie but cannot find any appropriate baptisms. There seem to be a lot of Griffiths but not George or Edward at the right time. I know Anna Maria Griffith was Church of Ireland.
-
The Civil and Church of Ireland parish for Rosdellig is Kiltennell, which is included on IrishGenealogy, but only has records back to about 1837... which might be a bit too late for George's baptism
Shane
-
I have found the whole family in Rosdilig. Try checking here:
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/search.jsp?name2=&name=George+Griffith&location=Kiltennel&dd=&mm=&yy=&submit=Search&sort=&pageSize=100&type=&diocese=&parish=¢ury=&decade=
This should show your George and Mary's wedding in 2 Feb 1859. There are 8 children listed in the baptism records. There are original documents that you can view for free. This site let's you take copies of the sections that apply. I encourager to load them up in your viewer as they often contain more details that are not recorded.
By the way George's father is listed as Edward Griffith and Mary's is Joseph Leech.
If you have any male Griffith's in your line I would suggest that you get your DNA tested as there is a Griffith DNA website. I found two matches there.
-
I think debs35 already has that marriage & baptism information for Kiltennel parish. [see reply #9 (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,510119.msg3895556.html#msg3895556)] George's baptism is the problem, since it seems to be before the start of records for the parish
Shane
-
Yes, George's baptism is the problem. Maybe he or Edward were born elsewhere? Will look at other parishes. Do you know how Griffith family came to be in Ireland as it is a welsh name?
-
I presume you have already seen the 1852 Griffith entries in Rosdellig for a George and Richard on the valuation ?
These could be related to your Edward and George ...
You could check the Tithe records (c1820/1840) to see if these Griffiths were in Rosdellig at that time - unfortunately these are not available online at the moment.
Shane

Great - it is better to have things twice - than not at all. Here is some more information.
For years I focused on my Canadian Griffith roots in Ontario as there were many families to try to separate. By neccesity I had to become familiar with many groups that came from ireland to Canada. I then managed to find my own connection to the south of ireland through a family letter from 1892. This lead me the Kilkenny - Carlow area.
The Griffith - Leach connections are multi-generational. Here are some specific early ones that I have:
William Griffith abt. 1775 m. Catherine Leach b: 1775 b. Ridge, Co. Carlow County Father: Matthew Leach Mother: Elizabeth Edwards (Note: CATHERINE GRIFFITH Mother's name was CATHERINE LEECH. She had one brother named GEORGE LEECH who married SARAH MAY.)
RICHARD GRIFFITH (ROBERT) was born July 22, 1817, and died August 3, 1893 in Franktown, Lanark Co., Ontario, Canada. He married EDITHA LEACH Abt. 1836-1865, daughter of THOMAS LEACH and FRANCES COOKE. She was born August 16, 1821, and died July 11, 1893 in Franktown, Lanark Co., Ontario, Canada.
Note: Thomas Leech and William. Jr. and William. Sr.*, also came on the passenger ship the “Maria". Thomas & Williamm. Jr., settled on Part Lots 12 & 13 on Concession 8, Beckwith and Wm. Sr., settled on Part Lot 12 in the 9th Concession which would be just across the road from Robert Griffith b. 1776 in Enniscorthy Co. Wexford.
*William Leech Sr. b. 1750 d. 1798 (at Vinegar Hill) was originally from Clonjordan, parish of Templeshanbo, near Enniscorthy.
Marriage Anne EDWARDS b: 1752 in (Wicklow) Ireland Married: 15 Jun 1777 in Ireland
Children:
1. George LEACH b: 1778 in Ireland
2. Anne LEACH b: Cir 1779 in Ireland
3. William Henry LEACH b: 1780 in Enniscorthy (Wexford) Ireland
4. James LEACH b: Abt 1783 in Ireland
5. Elizabeth "Eliza" LEACH b: 1786 in Knockalane (Kilkenny) Ire
6. Susannah LEACH b: 27 May 1788 in Kilkenny (Carlow) Ireland
7.Elizabeth Ann LEACH b: Cir 1790 in Ireland
8.Thomas LEACH b: 1793 in (Wexford) IRE
9.Samuel "Leech" LEACH b: 1799 in (Wexford) IRE
10. Esther LEACH b: 1801 in (Wexford) IRE
You will note that the 1801 birthdate for Esther is hard to reconcile when we know that William Sr. died at Vinegar Hill in 1798.
I hope this helps folks.

The Griffith - Leach - Edwards families have been linked together for hundreds of years. I came across this interesting tree reference from the descendents of
THOMAS1 EDWARDS was born Bef. 1621 in Wales, and died in Wales:
FRANCIS4 EDWARDS (ROBERT3, WILLIAM2, THOMAS1) was born 1705 in Ildoorl, Bangor, North Wales, and died 1793 in Kilemond, Carlow, Ireland. He married ANN LEACH 1726 in Ildoorl, Bangor, North Wales.
Children of FRANCIS EDWARDS and ANN LEACH are:
5.
i. ELIZABETH5 EDWARDS, b. Abt. 1732, Ireland.
ii. RICHARD EDWARDS, b. Carlow, Ireland.
iii. THOMAS EDWARDS, b. Abt. 1727, Carlow, Ireland; m. ANN SHIRLEY.
iv. ROBERT EDWARDS, b. 1730, Carlow, Ireland.
v. JOHN EDWARDS, b. 1733, Carlow, Ireland; m. ANN JANE PARKER.
vi. JOSHUA EDWARDS, b. 1735.
vii. WILLIAM EDWARDS, b. 1738, Carlow, Ireland.
viii. MARHA EDWARDS, b. 1739, Carlow, Ireland.

Can anyone help with this? I am looking for any information on Thomas Leech/Leitch who married Winifred Whalen/Wheland December 1859 in Kilkenny. Thomas and Winifred came over to Ayshire Scotland around 1860 and had 6 children, Catherine, Margaret, Bridget, John, Patrick, and Thomas, their parents marriage info (above) is on their birth certs. Any information or advice on Thomas & Winifred would be a great help to me.
Thanks

Try searching this wonderful free resource:

Be sure to look at the actual digital record as there is often extra information available.
ScotlandsPeople.com also has fabulous records that are available for a very reasoanble fee.

Many Thanks for the link Sean, unfortunately the marriage isn't there, on the www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk image, it only has Dec. 1859 Kilkenny for their marriage, on the death certificate for Thomas it has his parents, Thomas Leitch and Rose Ann Leitch ms Kenny but no County or marriage date.

Thanks for the gravestone. Yes - Ridge is a Griffith hotspot. A large number of these folks came to Canada and settled in a placed called North Gower. I have established a DNA match with a group from this area.
My own Griffith clan came from around Knockalane and Ballahsallah in Co. Kilkenny.
We all have very early Canadian connections to a small village called Beckwith. Two Wexford Griffith families lived there - John b. 1799 and Robert b. 1776.
I have yet to establish a DNA link with the Beckwith folks but with 5-6 births around 1826-1832 in Beckwith lends itself to the conclusion that the groups were related.
-
Sorry for the delay. I can't help much as this is a new area for me as well. I did come across a record of a protestant Griffith family in Rosdelig in 1798 as they gave shelter to a father Murphy. There is not much info but here is the link:
http://www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/history-heritage/history-of-ireland/1798-in-carlow/fr-john-murphys-last-jour/

Well let me add my Griffith search:.........
My ancestor: DANIEL GRIFFITH b. 1817 migrated to St. John NB around 1850/51
He brought with him wife MARY CATHERINE MURPHY and twins 2 yrs of age: PATRICK and I think Ann.....or Mary Jane
Family lore says he was from CARLOW......but no evidence to support this
I do take note the surname spelled as GRIFFITH is prevalent in the Carlow region moreso than the rest of Ireland with the exception of perhaps Derry.....GRIFFEN is far more often seen in the other regions.
so I am going to guess the family didnt come by this idea of Carlow by accident: and that if true: Daniel must be related to the men listed on the Griffiths valuation left behind; since he had just left recently
Any of this information ring true to anyone? Or if anyone runs past a reference to a Daniel: eager to hear
I do note the Murphy family was very visible in this region as well
-
Have a Mary Griffith (born approx. 1798;died o8 Jan. 1889) married to Patt. Brady Ballytarsna Carlow in my family tree.Buried in Newtown Cemetary Carlow.
She is listed as (prot.) in the Dunleckney Parish records of the baptisms of their children (1828-1846)
Bradys lived in Cloneen and Ballytarsna Nurney (neighbours to where Griffiths farmed )
-
I have top start by clarifying that I collect everything I can lay my hands on if I think it is relevant. I am at the early stages of trying to piece together my Griffith ancestry. I have used DNA to connect some big pieces together but the downside of DNA is it that is does not show how we are related.
I collected a series of birth records of of:
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/index.html
This data is a primary source of BMD data based on church records. The records are available for review. The earliest I have is a death of an Elizabeth Griffith b. 1751 in 1812. I also took copies a series of births for a couple named John and Sarah Griffith. They had a number of children starting in 1803. There must have been two couples with the same names as there were two Marys, two Catherines, and two Elizabeths. There are other children that go as far as 1829.
The Griffith families that I am searching lived in:
Leighlin,Leighlin Bridge, Old Leighlin, Bagnelstown, Fenagh, Ridge, Killedmond
As for Nurney - there is a positive link as I have:
Husband Wife
Name ROBERT LITTLE ANNE EMMA GRIFFITH
Address BALLYLOO NURNEY RIDGE OLD LEIGHLIN
Occupation FARMER N/R
Father JAMES LITTLE JOHN GRIFFITH
I have a DNA connection to a Griffith group that came from Ridge. My other match is to a group from around Coolcullen in Co. Kilkenny.
I will add Mary to my records - thanks.

Hi
The Mary Brady(nee Griffith) I mentioned would(?) prob. have been a antecedent to the Margaret Griffith whose will was on the first page of the replys.They lived in the RC parish of Bagenalstown (Dunleckney).Not sure which C of I parish it would be.Most likely to be the same Griffiths as found on the 1901 census living at house no.9 Newtown DED of Agha Carlow.Bradys found in the adjoining townsland of Ballytarsna DED Templepeter.
-
my great grandmother was Anna Maria Griffith born in Rosdillig to George Griffith and Mary Leech. Can find no record or George's birth or his father Edward. Can you help at all?
Hi,
I realise that this is an old post but if you are still in this website, could you please reply. This Griffith family is also my family, my great grandfather James was a brother of Anna Maria. Their father George would have been born c. 1808 according to his headstone while his father Edward died in 1847 aged 77.
hope to hear from you soon.
-
The major pain in searching is the many names they have for things. Townlands - Civil Unions - Church Districts to name a few (all misspelled) can pose a challenge. Even the Counties change borders over time - (Carlow and Kilkenny).
I have a G. Griffith record:
G.Griffith Parish d. 1876 of Kiltennell — Killedmond Church
Along with a "John Leech, of Moctiny, to his wife Jane, 1851.''
http://www.archive.org/stream/journalforyear02asso/journalforyear02asso_djvu.txt
I have a DNA connection to a Griffith group that were from Ridge Co. Carlow who in turn were located around Killedmond. For years I saw this name in many permutations - Killermound - Killedmund - Killmund - Kildmund. I finally nailed it down to Killedmond which was a Church district and a town.
Kiltennell, Carlow:
Townlands or streets.

There are Griffith and Leach families there in the mid 1800s. Try looking there.
I may have found a sibling to Anna Maria:
Baptism of GEORGE SIMMON GRIFFITH of ROSDILIG on 1 June 1862

Hi again,
I possibly wasn't clear in my post as I do not want to post too much current information on a public site, but the Griffiths still live in Rosdellig and my mother was one of them. I still live nearby. I have a lot of our line of the family tree done, but Ireland's records have huge gaps that cannot be fixed so family lore and emmigration / immigration records are very important.
-
As for Nurney - there is a positive link as I have:
Husband Wife
Name ROBERT LITTLE ANNE EMMA GRIFFITH
Address BALLYLOO NURNEY RIDGE OLD LEIGHLIN
Occupation FARMER N/R
Father JAMES LITTLE JOHN GRIFFITH
As regards the above named people, Littles have been gone from Ballyloo since I think, the late 1970s or early 80s at the latest.Know the farm and house was bought by two adjoining farmers after the last them died.
-
Sorry. I tend to post a fair bit of material as the people are long gone. I have established a link to my Griffith line that still live in Ireland via DNA. They still own land around the townland of Knockalane near Coolcullen. I have some materials of the various families that were located in that area around 1800. In 1798 there were 4 Protestant families in Mothell Church. By 1800 there were 44. My suspicion is that they came from places like Rosdelig and Aghold in Widklow. One of the ways we could prove a connection is through email. We have 3 matches on the Griffith DNS website.
Perhaps we can exchange information off-line? My email is email address removed by moderator

My great grandmother was Anna Maria Griffith. I cannot get past her father George as his father was only buried in Rosdillig. I have no idea where Edward came from. There is nothing on Irish genealogy for a marriage. I am also stuck with the Leech side. It is lovely to know Griffiths still live there and as Anna moved away I have no family lore to fall back on.

Notice the Leach connections. I have a few leach contacts that I plan to run this by. Hopefully this helps. Also - have you checked here:
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/
Let me know how you make out.
-
Many thanks for reply. Where did you find the information on Edward back to Matthew as there is no mention of them on irishgenealogy/ie. and do you know where they came from as I presume it isn't Rosdellig?
-
The information comes from two sources. William "Billy" Griffith who is related to me by DNA got the tree info from some Griffith folks from Rosdellig. I added the bolded parts based on data from some Fenagh records I have (grave stones) as it appears to match well.
I do not attest to it's 100% accuracy but instead it is possible theory that needs to be confirmed. It is far easier to prove a positive than a negative.
I hope it helps.

I'm looking for the father of Richard Griffith who lived in Carlow Ireland. Richard married Amelia Hayes on February 3,1840 at Kiltennell Carlow. They had three children baptized in Kiltennell Carlow. Their names were Rosanna, Wlliam and Margery. Richard and Amelia left Ireland for United States aboard the ship Hottinguer on March 3, 1849 from Liverpool to New York.
Thanks!

interesting !! my Father was a James Little, born in Ballyloo House in Jan 1913 Anna , Robert,s Wife was down as being an Aunt at the birth , have been trying to trace which James Little was his Father , and Mother was listed as a Patricia Little nee Henley have not been able to find any trace of her either in Ireland or U K , we think he was born out of wedlock despite the birth cert , which we found in hospital records in Carlow when we were over there about 15 years ago , dad at some stage went to U K in his child hood, We have had a lot of help from Myra Bradley she has been amazing but in the end was as stumped as we have been she has been living in Ballyloo House for some years , but have not heard from her for a long time now so perhaps she no longer is alive ?? What a shame Robert and Anna ,s children did not have any children , We have traced a lot of the Little,s they were surprising well to do for that time in Ireland and the farming ( C of I ) families all seemed to inter Marry, Any information you might come across would be wonderfull !!!!! I am Maureen Bird nee Little.

Hello all,
My interest in the Griffith Family is somewhat limited but I saw the posting about Margaret Griffith who died in 1926 and left some money to Annie Hopkins, wo of Nicholas Hopkins. Annie Hopkins was the daughter of Margaret (nee Collier) wo of William Griffith
"annie " Griffith was actually baptised as Sarah Anne Griffith in 1894
-
I'm new to this site, and am a yank. So pls forgive any mis-steps. But am quite taken by this post, as I am researching a difficult ancestor: Joshua Edwards. I know he was in North Carolina in the 1770s. I know he married a woman named Rebecca (possibly Ward), and had 10 children between 1755 and 1778 - all presumably in the Colonies. Beyond that I know nothing at all of his possible origin or family.
If he emigrated to this side of the pond, either alone or with his family, any suggestions on how I might determine when and to where? I will search ISTG, although their records are spotty. Does anyone on this site know this family? If so, would be glad to supply all available info from this end to see if we link.
TIA,
Landon Edwards in Virginia
