Rochford Family of Tulla, Co. Clare

Liam,

There is a townland named Cloondanagh in the parish of Tulla. No Rochford name recorded in the 1901 Irish census

for that townland.

Do you have the marriage record of Patrick Hynes and Bridget Rochford? What part of England did Patrick die in?

Quite a number of Rochford's recorded in the 1901 census for Mid and East Clare   www.nationalarchives.ie/census

Regards,

McCoy, thanks for the quick response and the info provided.

Cloondanagh has been suggested but as you point out no obvious Rochford connections - I checked Griffiths and Tithes as well.

I suspect that Clondulla is a local place name in Tulla parish rather than a townland, hence my posting the query.

Patrick Hynes died in Woodfield in 1898 and the funeral was to Broadford.. Patricks wife was Mary Fennessy of Lacarrow.

Bridget Rochford was Patricks mother. Her husband was Edmund 'Ned' Hynes of Woodfield.

The challenge is to find info on Bridget who was born in the early 1800s, married in the mid 1820s and had a large family in Woodfield - all before the existing parish records begin.
