George Ransford 1778 Dublin Ireland.

[genesearch1]

Does anyone know this George Ransford in the UNION OF MONKSTOWN,​DUBLIN,​IRELAND Date 1778 ??

The Date gleaned from www.familysearch.org relates to the Christening of his daughter Elizabeth
on the 3 May 1778 !

I found the information below from familysearch.org.

Also Can anyone tell me where I can get the records for the 'UNION OF MONKSTOWN,​DUBLIN,​IRELAND' ??

Also and more to the point if this George Ransford had any more children ?
If so any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Genesearch

Hi Lindajane,
I will try and get a copy of that book by Seymore Guinness.

I thought I might have to check local Parish's but it seems to be just the book written  that it refers to.

Then again I might be wrong.

The guy who posted the link you referred me to has since passed away.
So that link is gone !!

Any other help would be appreciated.

Thanks for replying with this.

Kind Regards

Based on the preface to this publication, the term 'The Union of Monkstown' seems to refer to a combined collection of records for the Church of Ireland parishes of Monkstown, Kill o' the Grange, Dalkey, Killiney, Tully, Stillorgan and Kilmacud.

Transcripts of records for some of these parishes are available on the pay-website of www.rootsireland.ie. In addition to those included on the FamilySearch website, the records for some of these parishes are also available in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Some of the details included in the publication are from primary records that no longer exist.

The register of the Union of Monkstown (Co. Dublin), 1669-1786
(continued to the year 1800 from parochial returns). Ed. by Henry Seymour Guinness. Published 1908

quote :
'In 1670, when the register opens, the Union included the parishes of Monkstown, Kill o' the Grange, Dalkey, Killiney, Tully, Stillorgan and Kilmacud ... As population increased, many of the included parishes dropped away ... nevertheless, up to the year 1800, when the present volume closes, Monkstown was still the principal centre of registration for the district'

Hi Shane,

Thank you for clarifying this for me.

I have been to the Representative Church Body RCB in Churchtown D14.

I will go there again soon and see what information they have in relation to these records.

Another location that comes up, and one I posted under Edward Rainsford in 1770's was St Mary's and St Peter's Church.

This location is off Wexford St or more to the point, the Cemetary behind Kevin St College close to St Stephens Green in Dublin.

In that Post I found that Edward Rainsford is buried, who I  believe though I'm not certain is Sir Mark Rainsford's the Lord Mayor of Dublin 1701's, eldest Son !

Perhaps this Church has records also. Although I image they are Protestant or Church of Ireland Records held there !!

I will go to both places and see if I can find any information in relation to all this.

Thank your for replying.

Kind Regards
Genesearch.

Hi Shane

I also found this online which has many names on it.

I did find a 'Ransford' which is the spelling , spelt from Ink Pen which because it blends the i with the n
the I  is sometimes missing from the name.

This might be of help  !! I'm find it difficult to read from it.

However some experienced genealogist might find it more revealing.

Hi Shane,

This Book compiled just last year in 2010, has some interesting information.

Read the Preface below - it says St Kevins Church , ( back of Kevin St College today  )
extended out to Milltown etc.

Quote Below + Followed by the link.
*******************************

"The parish of S. Kevin was of much greater importance. Its
church stood (where a modern successor may still be seen, between
Camden Row and S. Ke\'in Street) in tlie ancient Iris'n city of
Dublin, but outside the line which marked the jurisdiction of the
mediaeval city authorities, and on the ground of the Archbishop's
powerful palatinate. Its parochial area extended to the Dodder
from its mouth to above Milltown, excepting the small area about
Donnybrook. These lands included the Archbishop's manor of
Cullen, containing the modern suburban districts of Rathmines,
Harold's Cross, Cullenswood, Ranelagh, and Milltown. The
valuable tithes of this important parish were given by Archbishop
Comyn to his enlarged collegiate church of S. Patrick, for its
Oeconomy fund. The vicarage continued in the gift of the Arch-
bishop, and was usually conferred on his vicar choral in S. Patrick's
cathedral. In 1306 the rectorial tithes were valued at £10, and the
vicarage at half as much more. "

I hope this is useful to others also in their searches !

The RCB Library might have a copy of that Monkstown publication by Henry Seymour Guinness, if not I'd say the National Library would be a worth a try

I will keep keep an eye out for any copies..
