Looking for Abraham and Alice Brownrigg, abt.1750
« on: Sunday 15 May 05 06:55 BST (UK) »
Looking for the marriage and children of Abraham and Alice, of Aghowle.  They were possibly married about 1780. Any information greatly appreciated.

Hi Judy,
My ggg grandfather was William Brownrigg from Mullins, Parish of Kilcommon, Co. Wicklow Ireland.  He married Jane Morris, also of Ireland, probably the same parish. William was born in 1785 and emigrated to L'Acadie, Quebec in 1823, along with 6
children, one of whom was Richard my gg grandfather.  It has been
suggested that his parents might be Abraham and Alice of Aghowle.  Only a possibility.  I would so like to find his parents.  Any information greatly appreciated.

I guess we don't match... My William Brownrigg was married to Alice Nickson/Nixon. She was of Co. Wicklow, he of Wexford. Sorry about that. I got my families mixed up- Alice's sister married someone from Co. Wicklow. I have other Brownriggs- these are the names they married into: Borbridge, Sherwood & Bradley. Some of my Brownriggs from Co. Wicklow: Henry, John, Mary Brass Sherwood, Samuel. Any of these familiar? Judy

Hi Judy,
None of those names sound familiar, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were related somewhere along the line.  My William had children named  William, Catherine, Stephen, Richard, Jane, Susannah, Marianna, and Andrew Morris Brownrigg.  Thank you for contacting me-it might have been a match.

1793 - 4 Anthologia Hibernica BMDs

Master Thomas Brownrigg died on 8th April 1793 in Grafton St., Dublin

There are no Brownriggs listed on the 1796 Spinning Wheel Census.

I am researching Borbidge (and variants) in Co. Wicklow and Dublin.  My 5x Great Grandparents were Frances Borbidge and Andrew Webb who married prior to 1800.

Peggy

Children born to Abraham and Alice Brownrigg are listed on www.irishgenealogy.ie

The children were baptised in Aghold Parish, Carlow during the 1780s.  Names showing are John, Abraham, William b 1785 and Mary Anna.

There may be more but I just did a quick search.

Cheers
