Laois (Queens) / Re: Knapton - servants records

yes indeed.
The person particularly associated with Knapton was a Thomas McKenzie (sometimes spelt MacKenzie or M'Kenzie). The information I have on him is limited but he was married in Kilkenny at St Canice in 1864 to an Emelia Wetherley. He is described on the marriage record from Rootsireland as a "servant" from Knapton. He seems to have moved (possibly with the family?) to the areas of Knocktopher and Thomastown as his wife and child died there and he is described as a 'butler' on the daughter's death certificate in 1873.

Thank you for your offer.

Thank you for this. It has helped me as I can see online that William Brownlow was a deputy lieutenant of Monaghan and is listed as living at Knapton House. There also seems some family link with Abbeyleix. so there are some old estate papers to plough through.

Cork / Re: MCkenzie/ Cork Blackrock/ Flower Lodge

thank you for that suggestion. I have found some of the family in 1901 and 1911 in the census actually living in Cork City.- isn't it a great resource- but I have a gap between the birth of one Thomas in 1867 and the next Thomas (b 1891.)  I had wondered if flower lodge was still there as a house in 1901 but not really sure where to look for it

Cork / MCkenzie/ Cork Blackrock/ Flower Lodge

looking for McKenzie/m'kenzie/mackenzie living in Cork or Blackrock about 1890's . My grandfather Thomas m' kenzie's father was living (as a servant I think) at Flower Lodge  at the birth of his sons at this time.
I think this then became the sporting venue but would like to trace its earlier history as well to see if I can find staff records

Thanks - that is indeed the marriage . I had seen the information on roots ireland but fathers names were not given-- I clearly need to get the original civil certificate
