Title: Nolan/Gray Families
Post by: TerryN on Wednesday 03 February 10 01:44 GMT (UK)

Hello,

Looking for anyone connected to the families of Nolan or Gray.

The Nolan family was Church of Ireland and lived in Wicklow Town. The patriarch was William ( 1755- 1830, early form of name was Nowlan). He had several children, William, James, Andrew, Henry, Elizabeth and Richard. Several were doctors and businessmen.  I have accounted for most of Andrew and Richard's family.

Richard married Christiana Gray from Upper Leabeg, Co. Wicklow. Her father was John and mother Mabella. Her brother Joseph was listed in Griffiths as head of house, sisters Arabella and Sophia. Gray is a very uncommon name for Wicklow.

So far over the years I seem to be the only family member interested in this branch.

Terry

I had always heard that my grandfather, Thomas Wilkinson born 1904 in Wicklow Town, had an Aunt Jane Nolan...I have not been able to prove it though...The Wilkinsons were Church of Ireland also..
