I think the WDYTYA episode with Brian Blessed mentioned his family (the orphaned children) being sent back to London due to Poor Law Relief.....
Keane (Westmeath)
Ledwith (Longford/Westmeath)
Gray (Sligo)
Eustace (Louth)
Frost (Suffolk)
Farrar (Yorkshire)
La Favor/Lefebvre (Quebec)
Mineard/Maynard/Mainard/ Maynord (Wiltshire/Monmouthshire)

Hi Erin,
I didn't see the Brian Blessed show - where were the children sent back from.  The links given to me above make for very interesting reading, re how England and Irish rules varied.
