Tipperary / Re: Family names : Ardill. Roche, B(o)urke & Cleary

Kathy,
My great grandfather was John Roche Ardill born in Tipperary in 1861. His parents were James and Susan(nee Hodgins, I believe, but am not certain). John Roche Ardill had two brothers Thomas(emigrated to Canada) and Adam (born 1866)and one sister Elizabeth. We believe that Adam was a half brother so James was married twice.
The connection between the Ardills and Roche's - in 1800 a Letita Bourke married Nicholas Roche. They had four children Edward(emigrated to Aus), Frances Henrieta, Maria Theresa(may also have gone to Aus) and Letita(same). Frances Henrieta married James Ardill. I don't know the link between these two and my g'g grandfather James, the father of John Roche Ardill. Any info would be much appreciated.Thanks.
