Longford / Re: Same family of Percivals in Longford and Leitrim
« on: Monday 30 May 22 02:34 BST (UK)  »
I'm Neil Percival, descended from John, then Thomas, then William then Thomas (my dad). We are the New Zealand connection or one of them! This research string is very interesting.

Looking at the confusion re the apparent appearance of John Percival / Anne Rosemond both in Longford and Leitrim, it is my understanding that they started in Longford and shifted to near Drumshambo on the death of the father of Anne Rosemond. I think this meant they were moving from a tenant situation to land ownership. I think this information was from Margaret or Kathleen (my dad's first cousins).

I understand this land was lost/confiscated in the 'Land Commissions' after the formation of the Irish Free State and at that stage they shifted to near Mohill. This would be researchable.
