I realise it is a bit early for this site, but maybe some readers have info on the Banko/Banco families from Birr in 1700's and 1800's, before they mostly left to migrate to Australia, mid 19th century. I hope to visit the town next October.
Thanks, Roisin.
Hi Roisin-
My Gx3 grandfather married Hannah Banco, who think was Thomas's daughter. Brand new to Ireland XO, so if I can work out how to PM you with details, I will!
