Mayo / Lord Sligo/de Pothonier
« on: Tuesday 20 July 10 20:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Am looking for information on de Pothonier's born in Ireland, I think near Westport but possibly in Sligo? Have been told there's a connection between the Sligo family whose seat is in Westport.

Thank you!

Dublin / Mons. A. de Pothonier - Dublin?
« on: Tuesday 20 July 10 20:07 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Have been informed from one of the ancients in the family that one of my g-g-g-g-greats, a Francis/Francois de Pothonier b 1783, escaped from France with a brother who then married in to the Sligo family of Ireland, as in Lord Sligo. I have found the connection between Sligo and de Pothonier, and there does seem to have been a marriage between a grand daughter (frances Mahon) the Lady Anne Browne, a daughter of the first Lord Sligo. However, I'm trying to see if I can't work my way backwards and find out if they are in fact related to my ancestor, there appears to have been a Mons. A de Pothonier arriving in Dublin from Paris in about 1825, information gleaned from Irish news papers, he appears to have set himself up teaching french, and a few years on there's a blurb about his wifes death, leaving him and three children.

Would appreciate any information regarding his first name, birth, death, childrens names or wife...really anything at all!!


Thank you!

Suffolk / Ixworth Farm?
« on: Thursday 05 November 09 02:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Again,

So I've gone forward through the Parr Ixworth records, and it looks like a George Parr b 1831 took on what I'm assuming was the family farm, he died young and then his wife Susan let it out, shown on the 1881 Census. I've tried and tried but can't seem to get anywhere in figuring out which farm it was or any sort of land records, I'm wanting to know because I'm hoping it will help me get further back as the earliest farming Parr I have a record for is shown on high street as well, farming, with a farm of something like 140 odd acres.
So, any help would be greatly, greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks

Suffolk / PARR - 1700's and later
« on: Thursday 29 October 09 12:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All,

I'm trying to find out more about the Parr's of Ixworth, I've birth dates and things like that but I suppose what I'd really like if possible is local information, they seem to have had a Farm in Ixworth and something to do with a Mill as well on the High Street, I've been able to find out from Whites that it wasn't the Dairy Farm but not sure which it might have been. Also, any local information as to why the majority of the family died in the 1790's through 1820's? Was there a disease that may have swept through?
Any information what so ever would be greatly appreciated,

Many thanks,

Sara
