My relatives lived in Castleconor Parish in the Stoukane area. In the late 1840's they were evicted and went to Enniscrone and Bunnanila. Their name was listed many different ways. Does anyone have information on the subject? I know they immigrated in 1867 to Pennsylvania in the United States. I don't know on what ship or exactly when. Their name changed to Ratchford when they immigrated. I have many church records for their births and deaths

I am also doing research on the Rochfords from Sligo as my husbands great great Grandfather came from there! He was Edward Rochford and his father was Michael. Edward married Bridget McGloin and moved to Glasgow. I wonder if there is any connection with our families as i have not found a lot of information about them in Ireland?

Hi, we have martin and michael rochfords, but apparently there was a christopher who i think was my great grandfather's brother, who lived in Sligo. There were definitely rochfords living in Sligo. Apparently someone else has said Ratchford could be a mis spelling of rochford as people couldn't read or write.
there are other childen to do you have names and dates to maybe there are connected ?

You seem to be a bit confused and perhaps think that all people with the same surname might be related.
Information posted for you on LIMERICK board indicates that your Rochfords were from Co. Clare.

Hi again. My Edward Rochford married Bridget Mcgloin in Colooney Sligo on the 11/10/1871. I have the marriage certificate for the marriage which has fathers names and occupation. I have also spoke to some of the mcgloin family who now live in America. I have also purchased baptism certificates for 2 of Edwards siblings in Sligo but cant find Edwards.
