Hi,
yes linked to those sites, since then we have found relatives and more information from America.
Again through another kind lady on this site.You know relatives leaving Eire and making a new life elsewhere and the eventual information was unbelievable and they provided photographs. Not much on later generations though as Irish information became scarce for one reason or another.
They now have supposed to have originated in Huddersfield working for the gentry ie the Knox family(who themselves owned land in both England and Eire).Then moved to Eire.
We think William or willian was originally in England and moved to Eire his son Thomas was born in Co Mayo around 1836 or1839.
This is all very sceptical as it may have been Willian or Williams father that was in England and our lack of information is awful but you never know so we try.
Again thanks for trying to help and I do understand with more information its easier but you people find fantastic things in your research and if nothing is found at least we tried.
all the best
