Tipperary / Re: Family names : Ardill. Roche, B(o)urke & Cleary
« on: Friday 24 June 05 18:35 BST (UK) »
My name is William Stephen Roche Ardill and I have just started to investigate my family history, both the Roches and the Ardills. My grandfather, Harry Roche Ardill emigrated to Canada in the early 1900’s from Ireland, as did one of his brothers, John Roche Ardill. Their father, also John Roche Ardill was a minister in the Church of Ireland (Dean of Elphin) for some 40 years.
The Ardills seem to come from Tipperary and the Roches from Wexford. I am attempting to determine when the two families came together. Any insight you may have would be appreciated.
