hoping that some-one may be able to help with info re Jane Bull born Dec 1842 - mother ? Jane Greenham and father ?William Bull. Lived in Maryborough, Queens County (now Portlaoise, Co. Laois). If I have the correct Jane - she married a Matthews and I can see her on 1901 and 1911 census as a widow.
Know nothing about 'Bull' or 'Greenham' connections.
Many thanks.

Thank you for that link - I'll have a look.
I should have said but I think that they were probably Church of Ireland or maybe Methodist :-\ :-\
I found the names in a family bible.
Good wishes,

I am interested in all things "Greenham"! In fact I set up the blog which gives an index of Irish Greenhams from 1600 to 1800: http://earliestgreenhamsinireland.blogspot.com/
James Dyas Greenham was my 3 x great grandfather. (I have his silver teapot with his initials!) He had 2 marriages with 8 children from the first and 3 from the second (my line).
Robert Greenham was a son from the 1st marriage to Jane E. Hornidge, christened, St. Catherine's, Dublin 4 Jul 1803. He married Jane Moon from Cupar, Fifeshire, Scotland on 3 Oct 1836 and settled in Mountrath where he was involved in the family business of cotton milling. When it failed, he emigrated with his wife and 3 of his children, arriving Melbourne, Australia 9 Mar 1857, and has living descendants in New South Wales.
Robert and Jane's children were:
* Jessie Victoria Greenham, ch. 7 Jul 1837, Clonernagh and Clonagheen Parish, Mountrath
* Jane Greenham, ch 29 Sep 1838, Clonernagh...; m. James Patton MacKenzie, Victoria, Australia, 1862, 7 children; d. Melbourne 25 Jan 1925
* Margaret Greenham, b. Mountrath, abt. 1843; d. Melbourne 4 Apr 1914
* Robert James Greenham, ch. 29 Jul 1841, Clonernagh...;mar. Catherine Florence Spicer, 1877, Victoria, Australia, 2 children; d. Sydney, NSW

Did you ever sort out your Bulls of Maryborough (Portlaoise)
William Matthews married Jane Bull. They had 5 children.
Jane Bull had a sister called Amelia who married Joseph James Wilson in 1877 in the Mountmellick district.

Thank you this is very helpful. I am an Australian descended through Robert Greenham and Jane Moon who migrated to Australia. On DNA I am often matched through this maternal line to people in the USA but don't know where the link it. Maybe one of Jane Moon's siblings (i.e. children of George Moon) migrated to USA. Any ideas ?
