MANSFIELD... Donaghmore

[family_tree_owl]

My clan appear to come from Donaghmore circa 1780s

Two brothers took 'Kings Shilling' (sorry Republicans) and never went back.

If anyone can provide a few pointers on next moves.. would be well received

I think there was a Captain Ralph Mansfield who owned an estate at Killygordon which is in the parish of Donaghmore.
However, he would have been an English native or planter I would imagine.
Hope this is of help

Thanks, Derrylass. From your link I found mention of Mansfield several times on that page (it's Killygordon not Killygorden which is why googling didn't seem to find it).

sorry I was in a rush only get One hour on the machine,
have you been on the home family page, go through search eng: when box comes up type in = Homesfamily of Killygordon
If your family were RC and they took the kings shilling I am not suprised they have not been back, you should be asking what happen to the rest of the family because they took the Kings shilling.
You could write to the The National Library of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.
