Ireland / SAURIN, SORAGHAN, SORIN, SORAGHAN etc
« on: Sunday 26 January 20 13:19 GMT (UK)  »
A bit of a stab in the dark but I have reached a 'stone' wall trying to link the earlier namesake of mine Estienne DE SAURIN (d. 1741 in Ireland) to the later name changes of SORAGHAN/SORAHAN etc.  I am looking for some details concerning an early person (which I believe is one of his sons, from one of his 4 marriages) named STEPHEN SAURIN (b. 1703 Ireland) who married MARGARET BREENS in 1723 (no record of any children.  Somewhere along the line there were name changes to SORIN, SORAGHAN, SORAHAN (Sullivan) and so forth depending where the families settled.  From the other direction I have a John SORAGHAN/SOROCHAN (b. Abt 1730) married Mary HALL (5 Children all girls).   William SORAGHAN (b. Abt 1730) married Anne Clark (2 Children - girls).  Mathew SORAGHAN (b. Abt 1730) married Mary AUSTIN/ASTIN (1 son HENRY b. 1750) and Patrick SORAUGHAN/SORAHAN (b. Abt 1730) married Anne BUTTERY, BUTTER (2 Children - JANE and RICHARD b. 1755).   Grateful for any details of the above or similar early families containing the various name changes/spellings.
Regards

Ireland / SAURIN, SORAGHAN

Hello,
I have been researching the family name of SAURIN for the past 25 years, and have built up an extensive Family Tree and Database over this time.  However the Irish family link of SAURIN and it's Irish spelling of SORAGHAN still alludes me.  I have many individuals (and families) of SAURIN, SORAGHAN and (the odd) O'SORAGHAN registered in Ireland in the mid 1700's until the present day - but no registered/direct link between the two names.  My lineage is very clear from the persecution of the early SAURIN Nobles, and the   Eddict of Nantes when the family fled France and settled in Ireland about 1730.  However as there are SORAGHANs in Ireland before that, and the O'SORAGHAN name mentioned as early as 1633, it would suggest that another side of the SAURIN family emigrated to Ireland much earlier.  I know that the name spread out to the Americas, Canada and Australia in the 1800's, and again I have records of these -  but it is the earlier Irish settlers that I am particularly interested in (with so many of the early records lost in the uprising, it is proving quite difficult).

Is anyone researching the SORAGHAN (or O'SORAGHAN) name that have records of individuals/families as early as 1600 up to say 1799?.  Grateful for any steer in this direction.
Regards
Steve Saurin
