Hey Sean, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, I have no idea which branch of the Stafford family I descend from, and so this just becomes another name in my research list. There seemed to be many Staffords living in the area at the time (particularly Athy), but since my ancestors were pretty much in Prosperous I have been trying to work with the names from Griffiths under the assumption that my 3x great-grandfather came to or was born in the area and married the daughter of a neighbor.
I havent been able to find any documents that state names of my 3x great-grandmother's relatives. Her death certificate revelas nothing along these lines, her marriage seems to have occurred in the 1840s just before church records in their parish started being kept, and the baptismal/marriage records I have ordered for her children do not state any Staffords as sponsors/witnesses. If anyone reading this post has other suggestions on how I can locate some definitive names for these relatives, I would appreciate your sharing them.
