This may be significant to your research. My ancestor, John Ransford (sometimes recorded as Rainsford), married a woman from Athy, Co. Kildare in 1761 (Catholic Church). As there are no other Rainsfords in the Athy church records at that time, I assume he arrived in Athy, married this lady and continued to live there. His children were: Mary Ransford, John Ransford, Edward Ransford, James Ransford, James Ransford? and Michael Ransford. I am directly descended from John and I live in Athy. I have been looking for information on the original John for many years, without success.
PS I have a digital copy of the Buckland book, if you are interested.
