I Hello I am searching for information about my ancestors the Booth/Nethercote family who were in Parsonstown Kings County from about 1739. 

I believe there was a Thomas Booth “of Rathgibbon” who was granted a land lease in or around 1739. I don’t have any other details about him. I would like to know more about how he came to be there and who his wife was.  The family were COI.

His son, also Thomas Booth, was married to Sarah Nethercote. I believe he died c.1792. Sarah was the daughter of Isaac Nethercote but I don’t have any dates or details for them. 

I would be very grateful if anyone has any details they could share. 

Thank you.

  • Thank you very much Geraldine. 

    I am very grateful to you for finding and sharing these files.  They make very interesting reading.  Can you tell me if the church record document is dated 1713?  Its a bit tricky to read, and do you know which church it is from?  I am pretty sure that the Thomas Booth in the prerogative wills document is my 5 times great grandfather.    Can you tell me does Rathgibbin still exist in modern day Ireland?  Thank you again for your help - that's another piece of the jigsaw.

  • Hi Sally:

     

    Glad to see that you are making progress with your family research.  Would you let me know when you plan on visiting Ireland?  We can organise to have a volunteer meet you if possible.

    You can email me about this at:  jhalloranryan@irelandxo.com

     

    I look forward to hearing.

     

    Kind regards,

     

    Jane.
