Hi Ailbhe
I wonder are we talking about two different Ballyloughlins? Ours is in County Wicklow? Would yours be in County Wexford?

Hi Ailbhe,
As far as I know my g grandfather and family left Ballyloughlin in very late 1800s but then came back again in 1940s. In the period in between I think there were various people renting the farm. One of the main ones was someone called Wrench(?) who lived on a neighbouring farm and rented Ballyloughlin to keep horses. I think he was big in to horses and showing in the RDS. Maybe this is the period your grandfather was around.

Ireland / Re: SMYTH (e) Help Please born In Dublin

Hi Tadpolenz. I've had a look through our own family stuff and also the one book we did buy down at the Palatine centre which was called People make Places, story of the Irish Palatines" by Patrick O'Connor. There are general references to Smyths in it as in settling near Askeaton and having cider orchards etc. He also mentions a Charles Smyth of Pallas (Pallashenry) beside Askeaton in 1776. But no reference to any of the names you are looking for.
In our own family stuff, my Great Grandfather was James Smyth born 1814 and he had a brother John (died young and left 6 children - none of the names match yours)and a brother William - not sure what happened to him. Their father was Robert Smyth. I suppose there is a possibility that your Richard could have been a cousin of our James as the dates are about the same time but I'm afraid that's all I have for you.
If we unearth any more I'll let you know.

Hi, I think your Smyth is definitely one of the Palatine families who came to Askeaton/Rathkeale in Limerick from Germany in 1709. My maternal Grandmother is also descended from this family and came from a farm called Drumlohan near Askeaton, Co. Limerick. We were in the Palatine museum at the weekend and there are lots of books and info about these families. Their website is www.irishpalatines.org. We were also looking at gravestones in Askeaton graveyard and the only two that might tie in with you was
"Erected by Jean Smyth was Supple CHARLES SMYTH departed March 6 1804 aged 72"
and
"James Smyth, Drumlohan died 1870 aged 56"

I have one page of Newcastle church of Ireland baptism/records from 1697 to 1700 available as a word document for anyone interested. It won't attach to this message as word.
