Wolfenden K Burroughs

[Blue Ted]

Any help on this greatly appreciated.  Very little facts other than he wrote a book, published Dublin 1848 "Lectures on the Book of Genesis". Was Curate at Grange  "Silvan"?? and Deacon in Cloyne 1817.

Believe his mother was Ann Kenny, born c 1754 in Queens, and we know her married name was Burroughs (Burrowes).

He had M.A. after his name so maybe he went to TCD.

Many thanks

found a possible reference to W.K. Burroughs in an Ecclesiastical directory list of 1850 (in Thom's)

   Wolf. K. Burroughs, Leighlin, Graigue

Leighlin is the diocese, and Graigue is the posttown.

Graigue is in county Laois (Queens) but very close to Carlow town.

There is a mention of a will in the W.P.W. Phillimore, Indexes to Irish Wills, Vol. 1 (1909) to a Wolfenden Burrough from LEIGHLIN in 1798.
