I'm a newboy so I don't know what you mean when you say "you've sent the link to this thread ".
There was nothing on your posing that I could see. Was that an error or am I supposed to do something to get to the link ?

Thanks,
Mike St.George

I haven't a clue. Who's talking to whom in these postings? What am I supposed to be doing to " gain the link to this thread " and what 's on that link ?

Viktoria:
Yes, Howard Avenel was in fact a member of my ( rather distant ) mob. He was a Lieut. in the Life Guards and the son of Howard Bligh - 1857  and Florence Evelyn ( Baker ). He had brothers, George Baker Bligh - 1892, and Frederick Ferris Bligh - 1908.

And you are quite correct that there were a number of branches of the St.George family in Ireland. They originated, so it's said, in the Limoges, France area and crossed with, or not too long after, William The Conquer, ending up with an estatre, Hatley St.George in Cambridgeshire. 600 years later they had  those estates in Ireland. There is much, much more to the St.George family history in England, Ireland and Canada ( and a little bit in the US ) but no time or space to put it here.

I certainly would like a copy of the photo you mentioned. Photos are very important to me in my research. I'm new to this site so I don't know how that's done, and I think they removed my email address from my original posting. Perhaps you know how to get the photo to me. I hope so.

Thanks very much for responding.

Kilkenny / The St.George Family in Ireland.
« on: Wednesday 02 March 11 23:52 GMT (UK)  »
My name is Michael Patrick St.George. I was born & raised in Ottawa, Canada and I presently live in the USA. I have, God help me, been engaged in family history research and have discovered a substantial history in Ireland starting, I think, in the 1600's when various estates, and manor houses were owned by them.

My primary interest right now is an estate, manor house, and buildings in County Kilkenny called Woodsgift. It was located at Clomantagh area NW of Kilkenny town on present-day R693 between Freshford and Urlingford. It was destroyed by fire c.1914 and later torn down although a huge stone fortress-like farm building still stands as, I think, do other, smaller buildings, stone fenced exercise yards, etc.

It was a St.George residence and estate but I'm having a problem finding any
information of the various people, and generations who lived there and I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge re. same.

Thank you,
Mike St.George

RE: Harold G.K.Richardson
I registered on this site specifically to respond to your posting.  Harold Richardson is / was my grandfather; my mother's father. I recently started researching my family history using old letters, family history from Burke's and Debrett's Peerage and various other sources, and had just finished tracking down his family members at their various locations in England when, Just for the heck of it, I entered his name on the search line and to my amazement your postings to this site popped up. Some of the information I've come up with may be of value to you and it looks like you have research methods that I could use as well.. Also, this website appears to be a very valuable source of info. Having said that, I have to say that I'm a novice to the computer / internet world and I haven't a clue how to go about exchanging info with you. I guess there is no confidential way to exchange email addresses so I suppose I'll have to check in to this to see what you think about all this.
Cheers,
