I too am searching for a link between the Wandesforde/Parkinson family c.1630 of Kirklington, Bleasdale and Kilkenny. First known ancestor I have is James Parkinson, yeoman of Kilkenny, my 4 x great grandfather, who came to England c.1720 and married Jane Birch in Shrewsbury in 1723. Also tracking William Parkinson, possibly kin of Sir Christopher Wandesforde, of Castlecomer, 1637 to 1641 as a possible ancestor. Also, the Catholic, John Parkinson, Royal Herbalist to Charles l who came from Bleasdale district, born in 1567, but spent his life in London.
