I am attempting to trace my husband's lineage to find out if his ancestors were of the Irish Babington line or English, and I have hit a major roadblock. The farthest back I can find is William Babington, b. 1719 d. 1769, who had 2 sons, Thomas (d. 1808) and William (b. 1745 d. 1825), in Cavan County. Does anyone have any information regarding this line of Babingtons? My husband tells me that the family lore is that the Babingtons of Cavan had migrated there from England, but I can find no evidence of this. He also mentioned a fire that may have destroyed important documents, so this may indeed be the "end of the line". Thank you for any help you can offer!!
