Edm Bremingham de Broghall

[Ghostwheel]

I'm not sure what to make of it.

Kilfoylan is about 30 km from Broughal by road.  Broughal to Drum, Roscommon is about 40 km.  Considerably shorter than to the distance from Broughal to the Carbury area of Kildare.  But, I wonder if Maurice was still alive and in Broughal in 1719, the year of Mary's grave, since she probably died relatively young.  Indeed, I still have the hope that there might be a local grave.

It's an interesting family though.  They married people who were transported to a different county by Cromwell, or so it was said.  Maybe, some form of surrender and regrant?  I didn't know they had anything like that in that period.  Or maybe, he didn't give them any lands, and it was the king.

Wow, Hallmark!  You are a genius!  That is a really great find.  #13, that has got to be them!  The names seem to correspond.  Edmond and William and Myles.  Broughal appears on the Down Survey as Broholloe, which has to be the 'Brohollo" here, and there where Molloys nearby.

Too bad it doesn't mention Maurice.  But wow!  Edmund's (who was living in 1610) father and grandfather! and the place where he was from!  I never thought I'd see that.  That is really amazing!

I take it that Maurice was probably a son of William, who was a son of Edmund.  Assuming, William had issue, which he probably did, since he was alive at least until 1670, in Broughal according to the Down Survey website.

I take it that John Bermingham of Rahin, who was prescribed, was some sort of relation to William.
