You think they may have been brother and sister to John..... so have you checked??

Richard & Elizabeth had a number of children they were Michael, Mary, John, Richard and Ellen. As I mentioned at the beginning, it's Richard the father's origins that I am interested in finding out about. This refers to the period prior to 1840 when his father William signed the lease for the smallholding at Ovidstown. In that year Richard would have been about 6 years old.

As you can see Michael & Mary were brother and sister and the possible godparents of John.
