I too am searching for a link between the Wandesforde/Parkinson family c.1630 of Kirklington, Bleasdale and Kilkenny. First known ancestor I have is  James Parkinson, yeoman of Kilkenny, my 4 x great grandfather,  who came to England c.1720 and married  Jane Birch in Shrewsbury in 1723. Also tracking William Parkinson, possibly kin of Sir Christopher Wandesforde,  of Castlecomer, 1637 to 1641 as a possible ancestor. Also, the Catholic, John Parkinson, Royal Herbalist to Charles l  who came from Bleasdale district, born  in 1567, but spent his life in London.

Am looking for information on William Parkinson (c. 1640's) who came from Kirklington or Burneston with Christopher Wandesforde when colonising Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland.
Have found a Christopher Parkinson (born 1480 - MP for Berwick etc.) plus an Edmund Parkinson of Allerthorpe who married Susan Lascelles nee Wandesforde c. 1570's) and would like to add to the family tree and tie them all in. I know a William Parkinson lived in Castlecomer c. 1641.
Can you help me add to the family tree? Ideally I am trying to link the Parkinson of Castlecomer to those that currently live in Co. Laois near Abbeyleix / Roskelton/Raheen. Thanks
