Chandler Families of Kildare
« on: Saturday 21 March 15 09:46 GMT (UK) »
Hello ,
I'm looking for any info on James Chandler born 1810 Kilcock parents and or siblings unknown
and Henry Chandler believed born about 1810 no info on background but married to a Maria Connors. Marriage believed to have taken place about 1830 + but no certificate found yet.
All Chandler info seen thus far doesn't allow for these 2 anywhere in Meath or Maynooth etc. which seem to have been the family bases.
Wexford and Dublin Chandlers already ruled out.
Possible that the names are for one person ie Henry James or James Henry ??
Thanx
Rodc

There is a reference to Chandler's near Kilcock.

 Mrs. Brigid Butler, a farmer from Grange, Newtown, Kilcock, Co. Kildare, remembered, “If caught stealing food they were threatened with shooting or transportation to Van Diemen’s Land. There were people named Chandler living in Capagh (Kilcock district) who were caught stealing a bag of potatoes. One of the family was hanged out of a cart on Chandler’s Hill and some of the family were transported.”
