Dear ALVELEYHISTORIAN  & TWC

Its good to hear of some possible ancestry before Robert of Masonbrook.  I know that Robert had two brothers, John (1695-1718) and Christopher (?) and also possibly Nicholas, Edward & Joane. Their father was Christopher also and he was, I understand a Captain in the Navy. My information is that Capt Christopher (or his father Sackville MAson) came from West Worldham in Hampshire.
Robert of MAsonbrook married Sarah monck and that is where the 'monck mason' came from. The family Monck were a significant family from England, an ancestor of whom was The Duke of Albemarle who gained fame during the Civil War ( he was a royalist!). There are couple of incidents of the Masons marrying their cousins in the monck family

He also had a son John (Rt Hon John M M )who was an MP for Blesssington, CO Wicklow and Privvy Councillor and it was he who lived at Mason brook. He married Catherine Mitchell

My information prior to Robert is rather sketchy as this reseach was done by my late grandmother and before the age of the web so I'm not entirley sure of some of the sources. After Robert I have a bit more detail of my direct line.  I really must  go to Ireland and do some research..... :-\

Hi
New to this website and can,t seem to reply direct to you

Thomas Monck Mason had three sons, Thomas, William & Robert plus two daughters.  He has a connection with Hanover Square as he was married there and the dates would suggest Anna might be one of those daughters.  Thomas was the notable balloonist, flautist, operatic producer, joint founder of the Garrick Club etc etc etc . Anna would be my gt gt gt aunt (?) if this is correct

Hi, The monck masons & Masons were ancesters of mine and I have an extensive family tree and documentation. JAmes does not appear however Thomas was a notable georgian figure. and can be traced back to the Mason's of MAsonbrook and further back
