Pagets of Knockglass (Mayo) and Kinard (Sligo)

[myluck!]

the following may be of help: http://www.linleyfh.com/oursecondsite-p/p597.htm
this is a website with similar names and reference to Major James Paget

James PAGET(died 1901) married Jane Caroline KNOX(died 1906) of Mayo in Dublin on Aug 19 1857
Civil reference Dublin South 1857 Vol 5 Page 290 in St. Mark's Parish
Church record: http://www.rootschat.com/links/0gb0/
Jane was the daughter of Major John KNOX of Greenwood Park & Jane Adelaide HANDY

They had several children according to the linleyfh.com site; I can see Thomas Cecil Oct 27 1984 (bap Crossmolina) registered BALLINA V19 P22 and female Oct 05 1866 (bap Crossmolina) registered BALLINA V19 P21 but not the others easily.
Listed on another web site is Jane PAGET m. henry Julien RICHARDS of Barnagh House, Mayo 1893; Annie PAGET m. Thomas Robert HENDERSON 1902; Violet & Caroline

Thomas Cecil PAGET died in Dublin South Jul-Sep 1890 aged 25 ref: V2 P401

A follow up on wills could provide more information

Thanks Myluck, I was amused to see in that 1857 wedding record for Captain James Paget, that his father- in-law was his witness. That was because the groom's father was bitterly opposed to the marriage. An article in the Freeman's Journal of 21 Nov 1857 describes how Thomas Paget verbally attacked John Knox his fellow magistrate, during a court hearing, for having stolen his son! I wonder why he was so opposed?
These details are interesting, but my original question remains. Who was the father of James Paget of Kinard (1803-1872) and what relation was he to the bad-tempered Thomas Paget of Knockglass?

Probably no news to you, but may be of help to someone else researching these families.

Yes you're right pastmagic. That's really useful information for this family, and it originally helped me identify my gg grandfather James paget and put me on the track of the several Pagets who emigrated to Australia in 1877. Up until then, we only knew of my great grandmother (and alias) Marcella who came out here. I'll be following up on some of the references it mentions on my trip to Dublin.

If you're interested in this family, I've found out much, MUCH more about them in the last few months and have written up what I've discovered on my website:

I've also contributed the details of the deeds I've consulted to the Registry of Deeds index project which should gradually become a fabulous online genealogy resource.

Hi... It was fascinating to read all you've uncovered about the Pagets on your website. I tried to comment there, but my comment didn't appear for some reason, so I decided to try here. My interest in the Pagets stems from the fact that I own a small part of what was once the Fahy estate. More interestingly, I own the site where the house stood, along with a couple of derelict outhouses and half of the walled garden.  It was very interesting reading about the people who lived there, and what went on. Anyway, hopefully you'll get to see my comment here.........
