Desforges Family

[paul732887]

Has anybody come across the surname Desforges (may be spelt without the s on the end) who lived in or around Cork circa 1870's. My initial lead is my GG Grandmother whose maiden name was Frances Mary Desforges who married Frederick James Campbell in St Patricks Church in 1896, i am currently waiting for a copy of the certificate coming through from the church.
Also, could anyone advise of any good sites? Help!!!
Many Thanks
Paul

Hello,

Check the griffiths valuation for this name. You can find the marriage in the marriage indexes at your local family history centre too. i would also suggest googling this unusual name. Perhaps there is a message board for this name.

See my website for links.

Hi

I have a Desforges on my list of Cork men that died during the Great War.  He is Michael Desforges and he died on 14-03-1917 in France.  I have no address for him but I do know he was born in Cork and enlisted in Liverpool.  Originally he was with the Liverpool Rgt but went to the Machine Gun Corps 174th Bn.  He was a Private and his number was 3376.  If I find any more information I will post it.

I hope this is of some use to you.

Regards
Mitch

Hi Mitch

Many thanks for the information. I am pretty sure this guy was my g grandmothers brother who died in Somme, the details you have provided all fit-in. He also had a brother who fought in the Great War (not sure if he was killed or not) his name was Jeremiah. If you do come accross him, i would again appreciate any oinformation.

Many thanks

I have just noticed your message from just over a year ago and as a result will keep this short.

I am a descendant of Michael's sister Frances Mary, My mother has told me of a few stories of Michael, especially from when he was living in Liverpool, think he stayed in Knotty Ash with my Aunt Nell. I know of Charles but forget most, will need to dig out my records. Was he the police officer?? Who are you?
