Hello
 I'm trying to track down my wife's Ledwidge ancestors in the St James' Parish in the mid 19th Century..in particular Frances Ledwidge who was born/baptised in 1841 , or thereabouts ,and who married a Thomas Kenny at St James' in1863. The family later moved to Scotland.

At the time of her marriage she was living at 70 James St. and her Marriage Banns sponsors were given as Patrick Ledwidge of 70 James St. and a Mary Anne Kearnes of New Kilmainham [ were these her parents, brother, married sister, or was Mary Anne Kearnes related to to Thomas Kenny ?

The 1851 Census for Dublin lists a Michael Ledwidge as Head of Household at  70 James St..is he the father /brother of Patrick and/or Frances?

The same Census lists a Richard Ledwidge as Head of Household at 107 James St.
l
Has anyone any info relating to the above Ledwidges ?

I have some other info  on Ledwidges contained in the 1851  Census if anyone is interested [ unfortunately Windows VISTA is incompatible with the 1851 CD so I cannot undertake any searches
Regards
Harry
