I'm sorry I can't help with your question, but my Grandfather was Thomas Edgar O'Donnell of Henley in Arden, so I am assuming that the Thomas you mention is my great great grandfather............my curiosity though is that his wife was Harriet Edgington and my grandmother was  Lily Emily Edgington...do you have any more clues. kind regards, Patrick O'Donnell

Hello, I noticed the name O'Donnell and as it is a name that I am also interested in Co. Mayo thought that I would join in.   I cannot recognise the names you mentioned but wondered if the area of Louisburgh and Westport figured in your research?  I am looking for descendants of a Michael O'Donnell born circa 1794 in Mayo and who died aged 70 in Louisburgh.  It would seem that the O'Donnells were a large clan in Westport however finding living members of the family are proving very difficult, so this is a desperate hope that your ODonnells are connected to ours. regards Joan D'Arcy
