Talbot - Pratt Roscrea - Tipperary area.

Hi Wendy, A group called The Talbot settlers, emigrated from North Tipperary early 1900 century.

To the best of my knowldge, Richard Talbot led them.

A lot of research done on them  here  Will try and find out more,.

Hi Wendy,

I'm an IrelandXO Volunteer here in Roscrea.  I have just seen your post.  I've had a quick search, but so far have found no matching records for George & his wife (Pratt).  I suspect that they may lie in the Church of Ireland records as the name Pratt is one that is in the Church of Ireland family.  I'll keep on looking, but I'm not hopeful of locating them as Roscrea Church of Ireland records are not online.  You might wish to send a query to the local rector Rev Canon Jane Galbraith, St. Cronan's Rectory, Rosemount, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary.  In the meantime I'll see what I can locate on your family.

Dick, IrelandXO Volunteer.

Thank you Dick.

I will let you know more of what I have now discovered.  George Talbot, I believe had a sister Mary Talbot( b. 1817) that converted to Catholicism and married a Patrick Mullally. (b. 1817 d. 1859).  Mary moved to the United States with her children in 1864.  Mary and Patrick's children were baptized in Borris in Ossory.  I was told recently ( according to an old letter) that the Talbot's originated from Ballaghmore area and Kyle.  This makes sense as recent dna hits have taken Pratt's in the era of George Talbot to Cloncannon., which is just up the road from Ballaghmore. 

Thank you 

Wendy
