Kildare / Lewis Thomas - Naas
« on: Monday 28 September 09 16:14 BST (UK) »
I am totally new to this so I do hope this makes sense.
I just discovered that a couple of ancestors of mine are buried in St David's churchyard in Naas. I know very little about them but they are direct ancestors. Lewis Thomas was Indian Army (I think) and died in India in 1824 but I have found something saying he is buried in the churchyard (maybe just a memorial?). His father was also Lewis Thomas and I don't have any dates for him at all but I know he married a daughter of Edward Lovett Pearce MP. That Lewis Thomas always seems to be down as Lewis Thomas, Kilkenny, but I don't know why.
Can anyone suggest if there is some way of finding out more about both men called Lewis Thomas (the younger one was a Major General) and whether they actually lived in Naas for them to be buried there?
