I am a direct descendant of the Jones's from Ballybrennan big and Little. My 5th great grand father Richard and his wife sarah are buried in the cemetary there.
I have nothing on who Sarah was or where Richard came from.
I have no marriage for his son Michael.
I do have Michael's son Michael marriage to Margaret Oughton in Ardamine.
and Michael's older son Richard to Margaret's sister Martha also Ardamine.
I belive the family leased the properties for abt 200 years. I have a copy of R'rd Snr elder son William's will but little else.
I have photos of the property and cemetary from the current owner.
I am leaving this message hoping that one day some one can help me with my family.

Thank you for all your help so far. Yes the 2nd Richard mentioned above is a brother to my Michael. I was lucky enough for a family will being filed in England by another brother William naming a lot of his family.
The house Ballybrennan Bree is a mistery to me. I have worked on the Disney Jones family being connected as they have used the Ballybrennan name and also being protestant as well. Also followed some of their decsendants to Bendigo Victoria Australia some as mine. But despite this have not been able to get a connection or that one more generation back.
Also the William Jones family from Killinick has a photo of the Ballybrennan little house as their family home before leaving for Canada, So am sure this William has to be related to my original Richard- may be younger brother?
Any more ideas or more possible connections welcome.
