Hi, I am looking for information on my 4th great grandfather Pierce Somervil (Somerville) b 1768 Warwickshire, England d 1832 Ballyhannon County, Armagh, Northern Ireland. Wife Elizabeth (maiden name unknown). Brother of George and Jacques. Any information on Pierce's parents would also be greatly appreciated. I often read the posts for the Somerville's in Ireland.
thank you

Thank you Kloumann for the link. The "Pierce Summervill probate 1816" may be his father? as his name was believed to be Pierce also, there are/were a number of different spellings of the Somerville surname

Hi Pierce Somerville was my great great grandfather after whom I am named.I have a useful set of family notes taken from my father's interview with Pierces's grand daughter Annie in the 1930"s. They trace the descendants of the three brothers but shed little light on the origins other than confirming they came from Warwickshire to buy horses for the British army and stayed and were of Huguenot descent and the surname was then pronounced somerelle. Like you would be interested in Warwickshire origins but Coventry was a significant site of silk weaving Huguenot immigrants. The note is too large to attach but happy to email it
