Major Denis Bingham's son William birth information

[Bob Queensland]

Hi 53,
Have been searching through DNA matching of late and missed your post. The property listed aligns to Arthur's mother residence/lands, Bayview House and Cottage at Curraghbee a couple of miles south of Binghamstown, I believe. Maria Houston, William Bingham's wife eventually moved into Arthur's Doolough Lodge until her death at 99ys in Nov 1899. I think the sale went through as Arthur's brother William "Willy" emigrated to Melbourne about the same time. I am still chasing a wife for Maj Denis Bingham and a mother for my GG Grandfather William, aided and abetted by many helpful friends. Thank you for your interest, keep safe mate, Bob

As you have already read, my ancestors stem from Doolough Lodge, the earliest my great great grandfather Arthur Shaen Bingham from the 1850's, I am unsure whether his father William owned it, a hunting lodge as part of the Bingham Estate in the early 1800s.

Hi

I have confirmed that Bridget and Katherine Geraghty's mother was Ellen Tollett.

Ellen's father was Lord William Tollett, Earl of Mayo. Ellen's brother (and Bridget and Catherine's Uncle) was Lord Frances Tollett. Their cousin John Tollett esq of Belmullet. Nothing is known of their father (Geraghty) Ellen's husband, at least not in my family.

anyone know anything about the Tolletts?

I am just finding out that I believe I am a descendant of the Tolletts. I believe Ellen Tollett the daughter of Lord William Tollett married James Geraghty and they had Catherine Geraghty "Kitty" who married Major Denis Bingham. I am thinking Lord William Tollett would be my 5th Greag Grandfather and Ellen Tollett Geraghty my 4th Great Grandmother.

I wondered whether this thread is still active and whether I could get in touch with Bob Bingham, to find out how far he's got with identifying Major Denis' family. I've got to three sons and four daughters - but there may be more!
