MacDonnell of New Hall
« on: Saturday 22 September 12 12:25 BST (UK) »
Hello All,
I'm trying to find out if the MacDonnells of New Hall, Co Clare were distantly connected to James II of Scotland & Edward I of England. I was told a while ago that there was a link, but don't know what it is.
Many thanks,
Bob

Hi

I hadn't heard of that link. Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland (1912) entry starts with Daniel MacDonnell in Kilkee in 1671. Earlier versions of Burke often make unverified claims.

I can send you the 1912 entry if that's any help - just send mail address.

best regards

My husband's mother was a McDonnell from County Clare - we don't know if they are related to the New Hall branch of McD's.  Family folklore says they are descendants from Sorley Boy McDonnell - have not proved that either yet.
