Major Denis Bingham's son William birth information

John's daughter Anne married a St George, I have nothing on Henry's Anne's marriage … so many Annes, Johns and Henrys hey

Must be 2 Annes marrying a St George so. In Henry's 1789 Will he left £2500 to his eldest daughter Anne St George (since deceased)

Recalling previous threads, in 1794 Denis Bingham was a captain in a militia in Mayo with 350 personnel.
I don't think he was in Germany and may have returned after Holland in 1794… that's if he actually went there for the full duration with the 14th or at all, above information puts him as a Lt with the 5th in 1788 after having been in the 14th previously.

In reply#73 you say...

Henry married about same time 29 Oct 1761 to Letitia Daly ... therefore could have had the three sons John, Henry and Denis over the following five yearsish .. oops there were also about six daughters.... so a Dublin based family .... one of the daughters Anne married Chrisopher St George in 1778 .......


So were there two??

Firstly, no idea about Michael Bingham Kelly - that link doesn't work that you sent. What dates are there for him?

Secondly, I am not sure of Anthony Kelly's origins. Given these dates it is possible Edward was his grandfather, or a great-uncle, the records simply don't help us due to lack of documentation apparently. There aren't an enormous amount of Kellys either, so that going back a few hundred years a common ancestry is likely. I read an old Belmullet history book that confirms the O'Kelly Clan arrived from Roscommon and Galway into Belmullet. They previously held lands in Roscommon and Galway since the Middle Ages - and fought in the 15th century against the O'Donnell family of Donegal, in alliance with Mayo Burkes.

Indeed they did!

Well connected, not commoners.

Well saying that many of them ended up farmers, who struggled for a living! Fortunes change and not all of them were well off. It is frustrating because I don't think I'm going to solve Anthony's parentage, his marriage isn't recorded civally, and the Church record doesn't name parents. Not straightforward. Will leave it here for now, but this is very interesting material.

Talk about being well connected.... French, Ussher, St Lawrence

No problem.  Was going to post the Kellys on the French/Bingham Pedigree.

They even go to a family in Caledon, Co. Tyrone I was looking for.....   Will chase these up tomorrow. 

Time for a coffee in Grafton St now... then a pint of two of the Black stuff at train station.
