Hi,
My ancestors in Wicklow came from the townlands of Ballynatona and Ballylow near Blessington and Ballinahown near Boystown.
Names are
Murphy, Higgins from Ballynatona
Clarke, Healy and Twyford from Ballinahown
Fitzsimons from Ballylow (though this is a more distant connection)
Is anyone out there also interested in these townlands and/or names

I have Fitzsimon and Clarke connections from Co. Wicklow
The Fitzsimon family lived in Ballywaltrin / Killarney townlands near to Bray, they also have connections with Kilmacanogue. I have also seen Fitzsimon (or Fitzsimons) listed on Griffiths for the Blessington area.
My Clarke connection is from the Delgany area - as far as I remember Patrick Clarke was a Grocer there in the 1860s.

I have just discovered that my ancestor, Laurence Higgins, was born and married in Ballytona. He immigrated to England (Liverpool) in the 1850s. Michael Higgins and Mary Walsh were his parents. He has sisters, Anne, Judith and Bridget - and probably other siblings.
I am interested in any and all information about this family.

Hi there,
I am searching for family members from the Dublin area from 1923 when my father was born. Then in August 1925 a St Vincent DePaul man found my grandmother Mary Healy who was residing in Basin Lane. she was supposedly unmarried with my father Daniel Healy who was illegitimate aged approximately 1yr & 9 months. My Father was removed from his mother & she reportedly was taken to a hospital.they never saw each other again. My father believes he was placed in Sacred Heart Home & later sent to Kilkenny.
If anyone can help me I would much appreciate it.
