Hi

Had a quick look at site you mention...

Am not a 'natural' historian... does it look as if the 'Landlord Mansfields' of Killygordon would have been English :'( or Irish  ???

If you are related to Irish RC and they took the kings shilling, please go with care when looking for Irish RC relatives. It was not the done thing to take the kings shilling or join the police.

The Sin of our Forefathers... [circa 1789] cast a long shadow  ::)... did they have 'Police' in 1789?

I'll be sure to tread carefully in the 'Emerald Isle' [circa 2010] 8)

How times have changed  ???

The Irish have a long memory and times have not changed.

How very sad for you...  :'(

I like to think that there is good in every soul on this earth... somewhere

However, Good Night and God Bless to you

I am talking from experience.
You could try the Central Library Letterkenny, Oliver Plunkett Road, Letterkenny, County Donegal.
e-mail: central(at)donegallibrary.ie (replace the (at) with a (@)
You seem to know a lot about your relatives, it would help if you had the townland name.

Taking the kings shilling could mean selling their land.

Most of the Mansfield's seem to be earl's.  Where your family in the seat of power?

I had a look on the micro fich in the Library, they don't have much on Irish History, but I came across a Ann Mansfield born May 1779 to a Alexander and Elizabeth Mansfield at Donaghmore, Tyrone.
