Davey/ Davy/ De Burgh

[Mojo47]

Hi,

I’m looking for opinions on the following:

If I have Davey/Davy ancestors from Co Mayo, would these be descended from the De Burgh family?
I think I once read somewhere that the Davy’s are somehow connected?
Also I’m looking for a place called Drumrood from the English census’ .The only one I can find is Drumrud near Ballyglass,Co Mayo.Does anyone know of another?
Any help or thoughts much appreciated

Also I’m looking for a place called Drumrood from the English census’

Can you say where that came from?  What year census and do you have a specific persons name associated with it?

Hi,

Sorry I should have made it clearer.The surname is Davy in the 1871 Census for Whitehaven,Cumberland.
It records my ancestor as being from Drumrood,Ireland.
Hope this helps

Margaret/John Davy have Birth Regs with Mothers mn as MCCartney.

Do you have Johns 1846 M/C to Bridget McCartney to confirm his Fathers name/occp?

This looks to be a second Marriage for John as 1851 there are older children in the household.

This is possibly the family in 1841 - the names are listed amongst the others.
‘Henery’ is actually at the end of the list after Patrick and William.

‘I’ and ‘S’ are often written in a similar way. As you can see Henry is shown as born Scotland.
There is though a Henry Davy/ey in later censuses born Scotland

Hi,

Thanks for your input so far.It gives me other things to look at.which I think are useful, so thank you.
The real point of my question is regarding the potential Davy/De Burgh connection in Ireland and does anyone know of any other Drumroods or Drumruds in Ireland??? Or is Drumrud in Co Mayo the only one?

.......does anyone know of any other Drumroods or Drumruds in Ireland??? Or is Drumrud in Co Mayo the only one?

Spelt as drumrood, there aren't any townlands or parishes, but as Drumrud the only townland is in Co Mayo.

Hi,

That’s the same answer I came up with.I searched the entire country too.It seems that this is the likely place my Davy ancestors came from.I just need to try and find them in the parish records.If they exist??

Thanks again to all for your help!

I forgot to add.Does anyone have anything on the Davy/Davey De Burgh family connection?

Thank you
