The Norths of Ireland

This tree was initially prepared in 2007 based on the work of Peter Bamford and Sheila Perino, drawing on a number of sources. Work continued rapidly up to 2011 as the Registry of Deeds was explored, and has continued more slowly since then.

You will probably find this tree rather large and unwieldy, though the details are often the more interesting part of the story. There is a concise version in which the detail has been deleted. It is still rather large but might make it easier to follow the structure of the family. The concise version is not always 100% up to date.

The Norths of Ireland are descended from the Norths of Guilford, Surrey, England (CoN). For more information on the early Norths in England, see the Supplement in The Lives of Rt Hon Francis North, Baron Guilford, The Hon Sir Dudley North and the Hon Rev Dr John North, together with an autobiography of the author, by the Hon Roger North, edited by Augustus Jessopp, DD, in three volumes, London, George Bell & Sons, York St., Covent Garden, 1890.

About 1660, after the Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland, a John North was resident at Kilbride and had issue (CoN). A post to Ancestry.com by Mary E North Cull dated 22 May 2009 says John's wife was Mary Hannah Bird

1a Roger North of Newcastle, d 1701 (CoN), will pr at Trim (Bainbridge) and had issue

2a Joseph North of Newcastle (CoN), d c1729 (will dated 7 Mar 1728, probate dated 20 Aug 1729: 16.4.2, Vicars prerogative wills, & SP email 15 Oct 2015 p.04), d after 1728, will 1729 (SP1), m Mary (16.4.2) m 1705 (SP1) Mary Emor (or, incorrectly, Mary Ernor), alive 1726 (SP1), daughter of Richard Emor (or, incorrectly, Richard Ernor) (SP3), and had issue. ('Ernor' seems to have been a printer's error in Bainbridge: subsequent children are all named Emor.) The order of Joseph's children here is that in his will. Will of Joseph North, Newcastle, Prerogative Grant Book 1729 Folio 297 A: beloved wife Mary £100 & £20 a year; Roger, eldest son, farm and stock; Richard, Philip, Susanna, Emor, Joseph, Sarah, Mary, William, Michael, John, Anne; and to Robert Walker a cow called Thickhorns.

3a Roger North of Newcastle, named as eldest son in his father's will, d c1765 (16.4.2), d c1766 (Vicars prerogative wills), m Mary Ulick Browne daughter of Ulick Browne of Slane, Co Meath (SP3) (gravestone engraving, Dundoden, Westmeath (SP1)) and had issue. Betham's extract of his will states, '217 North Roger of Newcastle Co Wtmeath Gent - Dated 23 June 1765 - pd 24 Feb 1766 - wife Mary - Son Ulysses - daur Susanna - Sons Charles - & Richard - Sons Roger - and Philip - daurs Mary Cane - and Margaret Bonynge - Brothers William - and Joseph North -'. Deed 1777 321 10 211494 records the date of Roger's will as 24 Feb 1764. Deed 96 66662 of 4 Jun 1736 is their marriage settlement: a memorial of indented articles of agreement effected between Ulick Browne of Slane in the county of Meath gent of the one part & Roger North of New Castle in the county Westmeath gent of the other part whereby in consideration of a marriage then intended shortly to be had between the said Roger North and Mary Browne, youngest daughter of the said Ulick Browne, & other considerations therein mentioned, the said Roger North did covenant to settle the town and lands of New Castle in the said county of Westmeath containing 251 acres plantation measure (EN email 24 Oct 2007; CN email 21 Jun 2009). Deed 321 10 211494 of 26 Mar 1777 refers to his children Charles, Susanna, Richard, Ulysses and Joseph; it recites deed 1758 190 487 127789 of 7 Apr 1758, the demise to Roger North of the lands of Davidstown from Henry Pilkington of Kilbeggan and Abraham Pilkington of Toar for the lives of Charles, Susanna and Richard North for 5/- pa (that lease for lives was inherited by Roger's son Charles and subsequently exchanged for a lease for ever: deed 1779 331 231 221491); the 26 Apr 1757 demise to Roger North of Lisauna [Lissara] in the Barony of Moycashel from Judge Rochfort of Steamstown for an annual rent of £10; and subsequent lease on 2 Mar 1758 of the same lands of Lisauna to William North of Clonfad in trust for Roger North at an annual rent of £4 (?deed 1758 190 488 127791 - though that deed has no recorded date, makes no mention of Roger North and is for a rent of £6 pa: perhaps recollections had become a little rusty by 1777?). In deed 1758 190 489 127792 of 15 Mar 1758, Alexander Swift of Lyn, Co Westmeath, granted to Roger North of Newcastle an annuity of £25 pa out of the lands of Lynn for the natural life of said Alexander Swift. Deed 1758 190 488 127790records a grant to Roger North on 7 Apr 1758 by Henry Pilkington of Toar and his son and heir Abraham Pilkington, of an annuity of £60 pa payable out of King for the lives of his children Charles, Susanna and Richard. That grant was reversed in deed 1779 331 231 221491. Deed 1757 185 553 124252 of 26 April 1757 concerns Roger North Newcastle, William North, and Robert Rochfort of Westmeath: Roger North did grant set and to farm [let] to Robert Rochfort his heirs etc, all the lands and towns of Lisaord(?) [Lissara] c 72 acres Barony Moycashel from 1 May during lives of Robert Rochfort, Charles Rochfort his son, and Mary Rochfort his daughter, renewable forever (EN email 17 Aug 2008). Deed 321 10 211494 of 26 Mar 1777 records that Roger left Lisaura to his son Richard. Deed 208 395 139000 of 1 May 1761 is a record of a mortgage by Bryan Geoghan of Derryroe, Barony of Moycashel, Co Westmeath over his land at Derryroe for £420 sterling to Roger North of Newcastle, gent. Deed 220 56 143990 of 14 Dec 1761 outlined arrangements for the substitution of new 'lives' in the same mortgage, and was witnessed by William North of Clonfad, attorney in the Court of Exchequer in Ireland (Roger's brother) (CN email 10 Mar 2009)

4a Ulysses North of Newcastle or Ulysses Browne North (deed 308 437 206170 of 1775 (EN email 14 Mar 2008; CN email 9 Mar 2010)), d 1780, High Sheriff of Westmeath (CoN), m Eliza Bagot (16.4.2) or Anne Parleat (SP1) (SP email 11 Mar 2008) and had issue. Eliza's will of 30 Oct 1833 (as Elizabeth North, widow) left part of the lands of Kilcoursey called Cottage, parish Kilbride, Barony of Kilcoursey, King’s Co, to her grandson Charles Bagot; and £20 each to grandson William Bagot of Kilcoursey and granddaughter Eliza Ann Ball (Eliza Ann Bagot) widow of Mt Pleasant Ave Dublin. Her executor was Charles Bagot (National Archives: EN email 25 Apr 2008) She seems to have outlived her husband by 53 years, and when she made her will her daughter was already a widow.Deed 1768 252 171270of 18 Jun 1768 records a mortgage of lands of Newcastle, 251 ac profitable land plantation measure, Westmeath, from Ulysses North ('eldest son and heir at law of Roger North formerly of Newcastle')to Chas Hornby of Dublin for £500 sterling(EN email 24 Oct 2007 (as Book 270, ref. 171270); CN email 5 Aug 2009).Deed 1784 352 240067 of 28 Oct 1778 records a mortgage for £622/13/8of lands at Newcastle (251 ac, that part held by lease under the Earl of Belvedere), Gurteen, Co Tipperary (304 ac, leased from the representatives of the late Thomas Matthew; now Gurteen Agricultural College, about 2 miles from Clonfree: EN email 23 Jun 2009), at Gormagh, Kings Co (207 ac, held by lease from George Stepney), and at Lynn (leased to Alexander Swift), from Ulysses, just before his death, to Phillipe North, his brother, witnessed by William North of Clonfad [Phillipe North's son] and Charles North of Tyrrellspass [not placed] and Phillip North of Dublin [presumably Phillipe's second son] (EN email 24 Oct 2007, CN email 5 Aug 2009). On 6 Dec 1831, Elizabeth North of Tyrrellspass leased and released forever the town and lands of Derryroe, Westmeath, ~62 acres, of which she 'was seized in fee or some other good and sufficient estate,' to Mary Shervington, widow, of Carlow, Co Carlow, along with 'all writings papers and evidences relating to the same or any part thereof' (deed 1831 878 494 582994: CN email 29 Apr 2009). The references to evidence of title may indicate that Elizabeth did not have particularly good evidence of title to Derryroe; perhaps she inherited it via a default on the mortgage recorded above in deed 208 395 139000 of 1 May 1761. It is not clear why she was 'of Tyrrellspass' at that time

5a Elizabeth North (16.4.2) m(1) Aug 1790 (ML) Rev Charles Emilius Bagot of Kilcoursey (her cousin: 16.4.2) and had issue (Burke); m(2) Rev John Ball of Gucey, County Wicklow (http://baggetthistory.com/irish_data.html)

6a Charles Bagot of Kilcoursey (Burke & will of his grandmother, Eliza Bagot). Thoms 1846 directory records Charles Bagot of 12 Charlemont Place, Dublin, & Kilcoursey House, King’s Co. Charles had issue, including Ulysses North Bagot, b 1822 (http://baggetthistory.com/irish_line.html), who, when of 12 Charlemont Place on 21 Feb 1851, married Rachel Meyler, dau of John Meyler (St Peter COI parish records, Dublin)

6d Emilius Walker Bagot (Burke)

6e Eliza Ann Bagot m Rev John Ball of Delganny, Co Wicklow (Burke & will of her grandmother, Eliza Bagot)

5b Mary North (16.4.2) or Maria North, m Milo Bagot (16.4.2). Milo Bagot might be the Miles Bagot or Milo Bagott who appears in some deeds. Deed 483 539 316980 of 19 Sept 1795: Milo Bagot of Paddocks, Kings Co and Maria Bagot otherwise North his wife; Rich Ross of Clara and Emor North of Dublin: marriage solemnized [presumably between Milo and Maria] & Milo Bagot did grant bargain sell release unto Rich Ross and Emor North [presumably as trustees, probably 4b Emor the attorney] all lands of Kilmalin, otherwise Paddocks, Barony of Kilcoursey, Kings Co 59 acres, & gives Maria £60 yearly for her jointure (EN email 21 Jun 2008)

4b Richard North (16.4.2), perhaps d c1789 (Vicars prerogative wills), m c Mar 1784 (Deed 1784 356 419 241213 records their marriage settlement) Lucinda Gouldsbury, widow of William Croghan, sister of Rev Ponsonby Gouldsbury, rector of St Catherines in Tullamore until 1830 (SP emails 10 & 20 Oct 2007) and had issue. Richard 'was a military officer who died while his son was an infant. The education of the orphan was, however, tenderly conducted by his mother’s brother, the Rev Mr Gouldsbury, a wealthy and exemplary clergyman who died during the present year at an advanced age' (The Gentleman’s Magazine, Jul to Dec 1831, Vol Cl, 24, part 2nd, by Sylvanus Urban, Gent, London (Google Books)). Deed 1819 746 421 507956 indicates that the Rev Mr Gouldsbury was the Rev John Henry Gouldsbury. Deed 308 437 206170 of 1775 (EN email 14 Mar 2008; CN email 9 Mar 2010) describes Richard North as 'Ensign in his Majesty's 15th Regiment of Foot'. A Lucinda North, aged 65, of the City of Dublin was buried on 30 Jan 1819 (so b c1754, aged c30 in 1784; Clontarf parish records, Dublin)

5a Catherine North. Deed 550 375 365776 is a marriage settlement dated 9 Dec 1802: John Lloyd Armstrong of Dublin, Catherine North of Dublin, Lucinda North, widow, mother of Catherine, Rev Henry Gouldsbury of Boyle, Co Roscommon, Rev Thomas Lloyd of Boyle - marriage between John Lloyd Armstrong & Catherine North, £1,000 part of the lands at Miltown (EN email 22 Jan 2009). This looks like Catherine was a daughter of Lucinda Gouldsbury who married Richard North and became a widow on his early death. Catherine would have to have been born shortly after her parents marriage (Mar 1784) to be old enough to marry in 1802

5b John Henry North, b 1789, d 29 Sep 1831 aged 42 after a few days illness, m in Dublin 2 Dec 1818 Letitia Dorothea Foster (SP3), youngest daughter of the Right Rev William Foster, Lord Bishop of Clogher, sister to the Hon John Leslie Foster MP (see wikipedia entry: he was not John Foster, First Baron Oriel (1740-1828), who was Chancellor of the Exchequer for Ireland: CN email 14 Aug 2009; her sister was Henrietta Foster, Countess de Salis). His wife survived him and there were no children (SP email 10 Oct 2007). Letitia Dorothea North, Collen, Louth, prerogative inventory, 1853 (CPR 1922 WW50). The Kings Inns Admission Papers 1607 – 1867 (Irish Manuscripts Commission 1982: EN email 21 Sep 2009) record North, John Henry, only son of Richard [North], [of] Newcastle [Guilford], decd, & Lucinda Goulsbury, educated Chester, TCD M [Michelmas] 1805. J H North & Foster, marriage bond, 1818 (CPR 1922 WW24). On 19 Nov 1836 (Deed 1836 21 66: CN email 26 Feb 2009) Letitia was a widow, executor of John Henry North's estate (giving up a lease for 900 years dated 15 Oct 1810 of 39 Upper Rutland St, Co Dublin) and 'of Monasterbois, Co Louth'; we don't know when she died. TheTCD Alumni lists his father as 'Henry', not Richard as here (EN email 25 May 2008: 'North, John Henry, Pen. (P.T.), June 6, 1803, aged 15; s. of Henry, Generosus; b. Dublin. B.A. AEst. 1809. MA. Vern. 1811. [Bar 1810; Judge of the Court of Admiralty (I.).]'); Burke states that Ulysses North of Newcastle (4a above) was his uncle. He was Trinity College Dublin, Irish Bar 1811, Judge of Admiralty, and MP for Drogheda (Sketches – The Irish Bar by the Right Honorable Richard Lalor Sheil, MP, Vol 1, 1854, Bedfield Publishers 110 Nassau St, New York (Google Books)). In 1823 John Henry made a speech to the Jury in the case of Graham and Handwich: 'Whatout a bold and upright press there is no public opinion. The public itself is a heavy, inert, senseless mass, fit only to sustain the weight of power, and to bear the haughty foot that treads and tramples on it, this is the divine celestial spirit that informs it all, in every artery and pore with new vitality' (J Joly Pamphlets – National Library of Ireland Rare Book Collections 1125 1140 Irish Trials). Thoms 1819 Directory records J H North, barrister, at 43 Upper Rutland St, Dublin. Thoms 1825 & 26 records J H North, 31 Merrion Square, Dublin (EN emails 28 Feb 2008, 1 Sep 2010). In Merrion Square he was a neighbour to Daniel O'Connell (King Dan by Patrick M Geoghegan p.230: EN email 31 Oct 2009). There is a monument to John Henry North in the Harrow Parish Church (photo by Trevor King in SP email 13 Nov 2009). Wikipedia entry

4c Charles North of Guilfordor Davidstown, m c1781 Ann Pilkington of Toar or Tore (23.2.1) (deed 1794 479 315 306621 (CN email 11 Mar 2010) recites their marriage settlement dated 19 Jan 1781) and had issue, sons and grandsons who joined the British Army (CoN). There are several deeds concerning Charles:

Deed 671 58 460489 also refers to Kilbeg and Kilbeggan. The 1818 deed refers to their 'only' children; but there are two other children who have been attributed to the marriage: Henry and John.

His death certificate records that he was a retired Colonel in the army, and present at his death was Roger Charles North, relationship not listed, Royal Artillery, Fort Brockhurst, Gosport (SP email 6 Sep 2007). In 1858 the then Major North of the 60th Rifles wrote a chronicle of a period in India in 1857, Journal of an English Officer in India. He was then Deputy Judge Advocate General and Aide-de-Camp to General Havelock. The Journal includes a photo of the author. He was a Captain in the King's Royal Rifles in Dec 1848 (A Regimental Chronicle and List of Officers of the 60th or King's by Nesbit Willoughby (SP email 2 Oct 2007)). He was a Lieutenant in the British army in 1836, Captain in 1838, Major in 1857, Lieutenant Colonel in 1858 and Colonel in 1865 (SP email 8 Apr 2008). In the National Archives (reference M5710: EN emails 3 Apr 2008 & 26 Jan 2010) there is document regarding 'title to land at Clonmel', in which 'William Jones and Joseph Jones ... to their grandson Roger Charles Edward North, 5 Jun 1873 if he reaches 21 years.' Assuming at least one of these two gentlemen was the father of Elizabeth Jane Jones, then she and Charles had a son, Roger Charles Edward North. Deeds 1853 24 94 & 1863 40 148 (CN emails 18 Feb 2009 & 9 Apr 2010) both refer to the will of Sir Richard Jones, father of Morgan Jones (d c1862, Clonmel: Calendar of Wills, National Archive, EN email 15 Jul 2009) who was father of William Robertson Jones and concern legacies out of lands of Clonulty, Barony of Kilnenianagh?, Co Tipperary, from Sir Richard Jones to his grandson and 3 granddaughters: William Robertson Jones, Hollyville Park, Co Dublin in 1863; Elizabeth Jane Jones North, wife of Lt Col Charles Napier North stationed at the Tower of London in 1863; Mary Morgan Cuthbert, wife of Charles Davenport Cuthbert Dublin in 1853; and Jane Jones of Clonmel, spinster in 1853 (EN Email 16 Oct 2008)

She left a will (EN email 3 Apr 2008): late of Fortwilliam, 21 Jun 1884 probate granted to Charles Frederick North, 64 Wilbury Road, Brighton, Sussex, retired Major General, son, in the sum of £5

6a Henry North, b c1812, died young (SP2)

6b Charles Frederick North, b c1816 in Lurgan, Ireland, d 22 Nov 1906 in the UK, General in Royal Engineers, part of the Herit Mission in India, Aug 1839 (Sir John Login and Suleep Singh by Lena Login, 1890), lived in London, m Marion L ... (or Maria (SP2)), b c1834 in London. In 1901 he was aged 85, a widower, living with Edith and Alice in London, and had issue (English census 1871, 1891, 1901; SP email 2 Oct 2007). India Office records (ref: Z/O/1/10 No 7905) with a start date 8 Dec 1830 include 'Charles Frederick North, Bond, Cadet, Military Seminary, Amount of security: £200, Sureties: Michael Blood, Mount St, Grosvener Square, Surgeon; Robert M Grindlay, Cornhill, Merchant'. Michael Blood is probably Charles' mother's brother Michael (1795 - 1831) (Burke). As second entry with a start date 1815 includes 'Maj-Gen, Bombay Eng & RE; Phillimore IV p. 459; d 22 Nov 1906 UK' (SP email 2 Dec 2008). He is recorded in H G Hart's annual army lists in 1863 ('no details': EN email 14 Mar 2010)

5e ?Henry North (Bainbridge), '88th Regiment' (Bainbridge). There is no mention of a Henry among the 'only children' of Charles and Anne in deed 429 501965 of 1818

5f ?John E North, 'surgeon in the army' (Bainbridge). There is no mention of a John among the 'only children' of Charles and Anne in deed 429 501965 of 1818, so Bainbridge may have this wrong. There were several Norths living in Peters Row, Dublin, in the 1820s including one or more John Norths, but these were painters and builders and seem unlikely to be this John E North, and have been put in the unplaced Norths. A Peters Row John North married Charlotte Homan, daughter of P Homan, on 14 May 1818, and this John E North, if correctly placed here, had a cousin, 5a William North (below) m 19 Apr 1806 Maria Homan, daughter of Richard Homan (son of Philip Homan of Westmeath), so there is a possible Homan connection. Also 'possibly' this is John North of Heathfield, Co Westmeath, and Summerhill, Co Dublin, of deed 534 129 349561 of 1799, deed 546 390 360324 of 26 Feb 1802, and deeds 557 157 369549 of 1 and 2 July 1803, but that John North has also been put in the unplaced Norths for now as there is not enough information to place him

4d Roger North of Guilford (16.4.5), and perhaps of Ballycristal, Kings Co (see deeds relating to his brother Charles above), d 1790 (16.4.2) (16.4.5), will pr 1791 (Vicars prerogative wills), m in 1772 Elizabeth Macky (16.4.5, SP3) or Elizabeth Mackay (Walker's Hibernian Magazine 1772 p.168) and had issue. Betham's extract of his will reads, '18 North Roger of Guilford Co Westmeath Gent - dated 11 Jul 1787 pd 19 Jan 1791 - wife Elizabeth - daur Mary Jane - Brother in law Robert Macky [sic] - Brother Richard North' (EN email 25 Apr 2008)

4e Philip North (16.4.2) or Phillipe North of Newcastle (Book 352 Ref 240067 28 Oct 1778, EN email 24 Oct 2007), d before 1819 (Book 429 Ref 501965, 29 Dec 1818 refers to 'the late Phillipe North, deceased' (EN email 24 Oct 2007)) m(1) 1756 (doubtful date: Sarah Pilkington was probably only born c1752) Sarah Pilkington of Tore (SP1), b c1752, d at Moylary Glebe on 30 Nov 1831 in the 80th year of her age, relict of the late Philip North Esq of Sallyville, Co Westmeath (Westmeath Journal), daughter of Abraham Pilkington and Mary Shaw (23.2.1) (there was no issue from this first marriage); m(2) 1786 (ML) or 1787 (record in National Archives: EN email 18 Apr 2009) Mary Turner (SP1) and had issue. Sarah outlived her husband, so they must have divorced to allow Philip to marry the second time; or (more likely?) the order of his marriages is wrong. Deed 528 539 347680 of 27 Sept 1800 probably concerns this Philip North - his wife is a Pilkington, as is the wife of his brother Charles. The parties to the deed are Thomas Cuffe of Dublin, 1st part; Wm Low Pilkington, Officer in his Maj Service, & Philip North, 2nd part; and Charles North and his wife, 3rd part - Tho Cuffe for £1000 paid to Charles North did grant bargain --- to Wm Low Pilkington & Philip North lands of Killbeg and Thilbegg?, formerly in possession of Tanus Clark, containing 300 acres approximately in the Parish of Horseleap, Barony of Moycashel, Westmeath, during natural lives of Thomas Cuffe, John Green? and Wm Tluler? - terms and conditions (EN email 19 Oct 2008). Kilbeggan appears elsewhere in this narative as a home of Henry Pilkington, but it may not be the same place as Killbeg. Philip North and William Low Pilkington appear together again in a further deed, which definitely identifies Philip's brother Charles: Deed 529 367 347681 of 20 Mar 1800 concerns Harvey Pilkington of Toar, eldest son at law Abraham Pilkington late of Toar, 1st part; Charles North of Dublin and Anne North otherwise Pilkington, his wife, 2nd part; Wm Low Pilkington of London and Philip North, 3rd part; and Edw Croker of Dublin, 4th part - Harvey Pilkington, William Low Pilkington and Philip North, with consent of Charles North and Anne, for sum of £1000 paid by Ed Croker did sell towns and lands of Dunboden situate in [barony of] Fartullagh; conditions etc in articles 1916 Jan 1781 (EN email 19 Oct 2008). This transaction is referred to in deed 533 156 352064 of 30 Sept 1800, which also refers to Henry Pilkington Toar (EN email 19 Oct 2008). Philip and his son William inherited 123 acres of Clonfad from Philip's uncle, 3i William North of Clonfad, in 1800 (see deed 559 539 377072). A Philip North was appointed church warden at Easter 1787 (Vestry Books from Parishes Newtown & Castletown Church, Barony Fartullagh, National Archive MFC1 55, EN email 24 May 2009): he may be this Philip North. The Kings Inns Admission Papers 1607 – 1867 (Irish Manuscripts Commission 1982: EN email 21 Sep 2009) record North, Philip, Attorney Exchequer, 1780: he also might be this Philip North: his uncle, 3i William North of Clonfad, was an attorney in the Court of Exchequer; but there is nothing else pointing to Phillipe being an attorney - he is not referred as such in any of the deeds - so if he was admitted it looks like he did not pursue a career at the bar

5a William North of Clonfad, probably alive in 1848 (see 6b Sarah below), m 19 Apr 1806 (Faulkner's Journal) Maria Homan (SP3), daughter of Richard Homan (16.4.7) (a son of Philip Homan of Westmeath: SP3), and had issue. Deed 579 278 391528 is their marriage settlement, dated 5 April 1806: between William North of the City of Dublin, 1st part; Richard Homan and Maria Homan, spinster, City of Dublin, 2nd part; & Richard Crofton and Henry Morley 3rd part; marriage of Wm North and M Homan is intended; William granted to Maria, in case she should survive him, a jointure of £50 a year payable out of lands of Clonfad, Westmeath, which were bequeathed to William by the will of William North formerly of Clonfad, from William's death in lieu and barr of all dower and thirds (EN email 22 Jan 2009; CN email 28 Jul 2009). Deed 1806 285 391571 is dated 10 days later, 15 Apr 1806. In it, William North granted a yearly rent charge of £40 payable out of Clonfad to trustees James Walsh and John Johnson to hold in favour of Mrs Sarah North, William's mother, for the term of her natural life (CN email 3 Jul 2010). Deed 566 538 385918 of 18 July 1805 is a mortgage: Philip North & William North his eldest son, both of Queen St, Dublin; & Henry Morley, Blackhall St, Dublin - Philip and William obtained £502/14/3 (on an account already owing, and with a clause for further borrowings) from Henry Morley giving a mortgage over lands of Clonfad, 123 acres, leased from the Lord Bishop of Meath, as security, subject to redemption (EN email 22 Jan 2009; CN email 20 Nov 2009). H Morley KC is listed as an attorney at 3 Blackall St in 1803 (EN email 3 Sep 2010). Deed 631 314 434002 of 8 Jul 1811 is an indented deed of conveyance: Wm North of Dublin did grant bargain sell assign convey and let over lands of Clonfad on the left side of the Tyrrellspass to Mullingar road, 123 acres & bogs to Henry Morley Esq of Dublin (EN email 8 Sep 2008; CN email 5 Sep 2010; this 123 acres of Clonfad came from William North of Clonfad through his will: see deed 559 539 377072).

5d Ulysses North of Co Longford (Bainbridge), m Anne Parker (SP emails 3 & 4 Apr 2008) and had issue. He was noted as a Lieutenant on his son Ulysses' baptismal record. Longford Ancestry quotes A Short History of the Royal Longford Militia as saying a Ulysses North was Ensign in the Royal Longford Militia 9 Aug 1809, Lieutenant 11 Mar 1809 [sic: one would expect the dates to be the other way around] and died 1842. Pigot and Co's Provincial directory of 1824 lists Ulysses North, Esq, Royal Longford Militia, Artillery Barracks. The Treble Almanack containing John Watson's Stewart's Almanack lists Mr Ulysses North as Gaoler of the Longford Gaol in 1832. A list of the Longford Official Authorities in From Ireland lists Mr Ulysses North as Governor of the Gaol in 1834 (SP email 18 Apr 2008). Three sons of Ulysses and Anne have been found, but after them the family disappears from the records (SP email 31 Jan 2009).

5e ?Sarah North. Sarah is known only through deed 1805 577 286 387121 of 29 Aug 1805, an indented deed of settlement made between James Walsh of the city of Dublin esquire of the first part, Sarah North and William North of Clonfad in the county of Westmeath esquire [2nd part] and Henry Walsh of the city of Dublin esquire of the third part: reciting that a marriage is intended between the said James Walsh and Sarah North the said [deed] did witness that in consideration of said marriage and in order to make a provision by way of jointure for Sarah in case she should survive James, granted and assigned unto William North and Henry P Walsh in their actual possession being by virtue of a bargain and sale therein recited and the survivor his heirs & assigns all his estate and interest in the lands of Ballybursey otherwise Baucetown and also the lands of Kelliten and Monane Kirty in the county of Waterford in trust to permit said James Walsh and his assigns to receive the rents and profits for life and after his decease to pay said Sarah North and her assigns if she survives him £100 sterling yearly for life in bar of dower; witnessed by the Rev Alexander Nicholson of Delgany, Co Wicklow, clerk, and Philip North of the city of Dublin (CN email 23 Jun 2009). William and Philip may be her brothers (normally her father would have been a party with her if he was available, but William is in this instance so Philip the witness is probably her brother rather than her father), and she may well be named after her mother, Sarah Pilkington

5f ?Mary Ann North, m Rev Alexander Nicholson. The evidence for Mary Ann, and her placement here, is in two deeds. Deed 579 284 391570 of 5 Apr 1806 is a memorandum of an indenture deed of rent charges whereby William North of Dublin undertakes to pay £40 annuity as bequeathed out of lands of Clonfad under the will of William North of Clonfad, deceased, to Mary Ann North of Dublin and her assigns for the term of her natural life, payable annually at the Royal Exchange, Dublin (EN email 30 Apr 2009). And in Deed 1845 3 53 of 8 Feb 1845, Mary Ann North and her husband Rev Alexander A Nicholson of Moylary Glebe, Co Louth, clerk, sold the annuity (£40 out of Clonfad) to Richard Summers of Tyrrellspass (CN email 27 Jun 2009). Alexander Nicholson witnessed the settlement of Sarah North (deed 1805 577 286 387121 of 29 Aug 1805). Sarah is tentatively placed as a sister of William North, and the connection via Alexander Nicholson suggests that Mary Ann may also be a sister in this family. In 1845 Mary Ann and her husband are of Moylary Glebe, which is where the family's mother, Sarah Pilkington, died on 30 Nov 1831. So Mary Ann's placement here is not certain, but seems likely

4f Mary North m Lyons Cane (16.4.2  & SP email 15 Oct 2015 p.04). Mentioned in her father's will

4g Margaret North m John Bonynge (16.4.2). Mentioned in her father's will. Thoms directory of 1786 lists Bonynge and Jenkins, apothecaries, 6, College Green, Dublin (EN email 17 Aug 2009). Burke's Landed Gentry, 9th edn, lists John Bonyne of Habsburg, Co Westmeath m Margaret North of Newcastle, Co Westmeath, and had issue. He was a son of Bonynge of Ballintobber, Co Longford (EN email 21 Sep 2009). Henry Morley & Ann Bonynge, marriage bond, 1787, Meath (CPR 1922 WW43): could be related. Burke lists their children as:

3b Richard North, named in his father's will, had daughters. Richard is also mentioned as a son of Joseph North in deed 1726 50 54 32031 in the Registry of Deeds dated 7 & 8 Jun 1726, registered on 9 Jun 1726,a memorial of an indenture of lease [7 Jun] and release [8 Jun] between Joseph North and Mary North of Newcastle in the County of Westmeath Gent of the one part and Roger North of the City of Dublin Gent of the other part by which indenture of release the said Joseph in consideration of one hundred and two pounds did grant bargain & sell unto the said Roger all that and those the town and lands of Newcastle in Co Westmeath to hold unto the said Roger North and his heirs and Afs [assigns] during the lives of Richard North son of the said Joseph North [,] Mary North and Caleb North son & daughter of Roger North senr (EN email 27 Jan 2010), witnesses John North of Kilbride, Westmeath and Henry Abernathey of same place [= Henry Abernethy? - John North of Tyrrellspass and Kilbride (Whitewell), b 1707, m 1730 Margaret Abernethy b 1710: if this is John North the witness it seems he was under 21 and not yet married at the time] (CN email 8 Mar 2009)

3c Philip North (16.4.2) d 1772 at Tubberbonny (will 1772 - Vicars prerogative wills and Betham & SP email 15 Oct 2015 p.04), Dublin, m at St Michans, Dublin, on 23 Aug 1735, Eleanor Connor or Elinor Connor (SP email 16 Mar 2008, SP1, SP3, SP8; David Magraith email 30 Apr 2016), d 1776 (Vicars prerogative wills and Betham, & SP email 15 Oct 2015 p.04) and had issue (SP email 21 Mar 2008). Betham's extract of Philip's will reads, '255 North Philip of Tubberbonny[?] Co Dublin Gent - Dated 24 Jun 1772 - pd 2 Sep 1772 - wife Elinor - Sons Roger - Emor - and John - daur Rachel wife of Mr Foliat Magrath Mercht[?] - Brother William North - Sister Susanna Smith - niece[?] Mary and William, Children of same - Brother Richard North - Sister Anne White - Brother Roger North -'. Betham's extract of Eleanor's will reads, '292 Eleanor North of Dublin widow - Dated _ Feb 1776 pd 9 July 1776 - husband Philip North - Grandson Philip Magrath, - son of daur Rachel, wife of Mr Folliolt[?] Magrath of Dublin Merchant - Son John -' (EN email 25 Apr 2008). Deed 290 578 196434 of 29 June 1761 refers to two properties, one in Arran St and one in Ormand Square, Dublin. The deed recites two deeds of 13 Nov 1735 in which Lord Cashell made over the lands to Ralph Leland, glass grinder of Dublin, now deceased; in a deed dated 13 Apr 1756, Ralph Leland, Richard Leland and Captain John Leland, children and residual legatees of Ralph Leland senior, and the executors of the estate of Ralph Leland senior, including Rev John Leland, doctor of divinity, made over the lands to Adam Strean; then by deed dated 9 May 1758 Adam Strean and his son and heir Johnas Strean made over the lands to Philip North of Dublin, tallow chandler. The deed itself sets out an agreement by Philip North, tallow chandler, to make the various deeds, particularly the 1756 deed, available to Elinor Strean, daughter and executor of Adam Strean, the better to evidence her title in the premises in any court hearing . . . (EN email 7 Sep 2008; CN email 14 Jun 2010 - missing the end of the transcript, so we may not know the full story). Deborah Leland married Roger North of Whitewell in 1760. Deed 275 602 182506 of 24 July 1770 records that Philip North of Dublin, tallow chandler did demise unto Thos Rotherary, tallow chandler, all dwellings and warehouses etc at Strand St, Dublin, for 61 years from 20 Jul for £60 per year, present Emor North, witnessed 4 Aug 1770 (EN email 21 Jun 2008). This Philip North of Tubberbonny is the right age to have been retiring from business in 1770 and had a son Emor, but the description gent in his will does not suggest he was a tallow chandler. If he is the Philip who let a house to Wm Gargan in deed 490 380 315018, however, he might have been as much merchant as gent. Philip North is in Watsons Almanac and Directory from 1761 to 1770 (EN email 26 Jan 2010). Deed 303 446 201828 of 30 Sep 1774: Eleanor North widow and executor of Philip North late of Tubberbonny Co Dublin 1st part; Daniel Heatly of Newtown, Dublin, includes Olivia Hunter widow, money owned to Eleanor £213 re mortgage on towns and lands at Newtown, 115 acres, Barony Coolock, Co Dublin (EN email 17 Aug 2008). Dublin directories in 1738 and 1753 list Philip North, chandler, at Arran St, Dublin; from 1761 to 1770 he is listed at Strand St (EN emails 21 Sep 2009; 4 Feb 2010)

4a Roger North (named in his father's will but not his mother's). A Roger North m Catherine Davies 1767 (ML) and it seems he is this Roger. The Records of Augusta County, Virginia (USA) record a tombstone in Staunton, Virginia, which reads 'Roger North died Oct 17 1776 born city of Dublin. Arrived in this colony 1771. A fond father, an affectionate husband, and the sincerest friend.' Records indicate that the family possesses a Georgian Silver cup that he brought over with the North crest. Records note he married Catherine Davis Law, neice and ward of Bishop Law (the first bishop of Clonfert and then Killala and then Elphin, d Dublin 1810). Roger's son Philip North b Ireland 14 Nov 1767, m 19 March 1792 Margaret Abney of Augusta Co, Virginia. Their only son John A North b 15 Dec 1794 m July 1819 Charlotte Blair. His grandaughter Martha Caldwell (alive in 1927) lived in Lewisburg, West Virginia and had old family letters in which it was indicated that Philip had revisited England and Ireland three times to collect money from the North and Law estates (SP emails 30 Apr 2008 and 25 Mar 2009, drawing on a Caleb Brewster note); that would fit with Philip North d 1772 and his wife Eleanor Connor d 1776 being Roger of Virginia's parents. Roger's absence from Eleanor's will (as the Virginia Roger was still alive when the will was made) might be explained if he had settled money matters with the family following the death of his father Philip in 1772. That the Virginia Roger named his son Philip also points, though not strongly, to Philip being Roger's father. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia: Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County 1745-1800 (three volumes; Genealogical Pub Co, 1980) records (SP email 28 Mar 2009): August 1793: North vs Mathews. Catherine Mathews, wife of Sampson Matthews was first widow of Roger North, then widow of Edward Park (see also http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Philip_North_(1)). Roger North died in the fall of 1776 leaving a will which Catherine could not find and she took out administration. Philip was the only surviving heir to Roger North. She married Edward Park in the fall of 1777 and Edward died Dec (or July) of 1780. Catherine took out administration on Edward’s estate in Henraco County. Roger owned a tan yard. Affidavit by Catherine 1793. Catherine married Sampson Mathews in June 1783. August 20 1783: Philip, orphan of Roger North, chooses Sampson Mathews as guardian.

5a Philip North, b Ireland 14 Nov 1767, m 19 Mar 1792 Margaret Abney of Augusta Co, Virginia (Col T H Chapter, First Marriage Records of Augusta County, Virginia, 1785-1813, p 18), and had issue. Deed 1790 516 50 336163 is a complex deed dated 15 Sep 1790 in which Philip North of Virginia, America, but then resident in Dublin, conveyed buildings and land in Little Strand St and Barry St, Dublin, lately in the possession of Philip North chandler deceased [presumed here to be Philip's grandfather], to John Hawkins as trustee with the intention of 'baring docking defeating and destroying all estates tail and all reversions and remainders thereupon,' and it was agreed that William Martin was to sue a writ of entry sur disseisin en lepost to the premises, and a fine sur conuzance de droit come ceo was to be dealt with (CN email 30 Jul 2009). Deed 1794 474 531 305252 of 1 Apr 1794 is another complex deed in which Philip in consideration of £100 added to an existing lease and mortgage agreement (dated 1789) re premises in Greens Alley, Barry St, Dublin, made over the remainder of a £60 annuity to Margaret O'Brien for the rest of her life, at the end of which Philip was to get back both the premises and the annuity. The deed was signed by Edward North under power of attorney for Philip (CN email 11 Mar 2010). In 1799 Philip was back in Dublin: in deed 1799 520 340469 of 12 Jul 1799, he assigned to Jonothan Rice, stationer of Dublin, two fields in Co Dublin, one known as ?park and the other as Woodfield, being part of the town & lands of Ballymolehanstown, otherwise Murphystown, 15 ac 2 rds 30 pchs, lately held by Philip and Emor North under a lease for 12 years renewable made to Philip North by James M Davies on 5 Mar 1799 (CN email 14 Sep 2009)

A John A North was the clerk of the Virginia Court of Appeals held at Lewisburg 1832-55 http://www.wvculture.org/hiStory/mancoll.html) and built John North House; the known facts fit with this John A North (e.g. he was the third generation in America), but he may not be any relation

8a Martha Caldwell, alive in 1927, lived in Lewisburg, West Virginia

4b Emor North, named in his father's will but not his mother's. There are at least 3 Emor Norths: this one, his uncle 3e Emor and a cousin, 4b Emor son of Joseph North and Bridget McCabe. We have found some information on one of the Emor Norths, probably this one. Emor became an attorney in 1764: Emor North was admitted to the Kings Inns as an attorney in the Exchequer, H [Hilary], 1764(SP email 16 Apr 2008; EN email 21 Sep 2009) and married in 1769. His uncle seems too old to have done either of those things on those dates with any probability; and while the other Emor is about the right age he may well have died in 1764, which would count him out too. Emor North m 1769 Alice Lassall or Alice Lassale (ML). Deed 515 505 335767 of May 1798 records that Emor North transfered, out of natural love and affection, to Anne North, then aged 21, the only child of said Emor and Alice Lasalls, his wife, one of several parcels of land in Portarlington, Kings and Queens Counties, that Alice Lasalls had inherited from her father, Isaac Lassalls, late merchant of Dublin, and had been placed in trust as part of their 1769 marriage settlement (EN email 2 Mar 2009). Thoms 1738 places Isaac Lasalle at King St, Dublin(EN email 21 Sep 2009). The first party to the 1769 settlement was Philip North, so he was almost certainly this Emor's father. One of the trustees of the 1769 marriage settlement was a William North (no other identification, perhaps Philip's brother, Emor's uncle William of Clonfad). One of the witnesses to the 1798 deed was Frances North (sic - but deed 515 505 335768 of 1798 in similar terms to deed 515 505 335767, adding a detail, was witnessed by Francis North - either way, this Frances/Francis is a mystery) (EN email 2 Mar 2009). Deed 442 494 288298 of 1785 (EN email 14 Mar 2008; CN email 9 Mar 2010) records an agreement between Emor North and Alice Lassall to live apart and for Emor to pay maintenance. Both deeds refer to property at Portarlington. In deed 199 257 132134 of 15 May 1759, Philip North of Dublin, tallow chandler, leased to Thomas Strong of Dublin, baker, a tenement in Pill Lane in the suburbs of Dublin for 29 years. The deed was witnessed by Emor North, clerk to the other witness, John Gardiner, gent, one of the attorneys of the court of Exchequer in Ireland. Could be a second lease, because it was 'in as full and ample manner as Thomas Strong now holds and enjoys the same' (CN email 10 Mar 2009). In deed 338 143 226576 of 16 Jan 1781 an Emor North demised to Robert Joseph Shutter of Dublin, linens draper, two dwelling house in Ring St, Oxmanstown, Dublin (EN email 7 Sep 2008). In deed 1792 442 330 287402 of 13 Dec 1791, Emor North assigned a property to Charles White, merchant of Dublin. The deed was witnessed by Thomas Henrick, clerk to the said Emor North, so it was probably Emor the attorney (CN email 19 Mar 2010). Deed 490 380 315018 of 22 Jun 1795: between Emor North of Dublin and William Dalton of Pill Lane, merchant - Emor demises to William Dalton all ground whereon the house to let to William Gargan, carpenter, by Philip North, deceased, formerly stood with 2 butchers stalls therein situated in Ormond Market, Dublin City, from 1 March for 186 years (EN email 21 Jun 2008; CN email 19 Mar 2010). The Emor and Philip in that deed are most likely this Emor and his father. Deed 496 8 317813 of 13 Nov 1795: Emor North of Crumlin, Dublin, and William Dalton of Pill Lane re lands and houses at Ormond Market, involves Ralph Leland, glassgrinder (EN email 21 Jun 2008) (Ralph Leland is probably a brother of Robert Leland, father of Deborah Leland: SP email 19 Mar 2009; see entry for Emor's father above - deed 290 578 196434)

Anne North left a will, ref 2643 in the National Archives, Dublin (EN email 3 Apr 2008). The Will Index indicates Anne North died about 1844 (SP email 16 Jan 2008). Deed 1838 9 264 in the Registry of Deeds records the sale on 14 May 1838 of land and house at Portarlington from Anne North to Henry Hudson for £469 12s 2d (EN email 10 Apr 2008)

The deed was witnessed by William North of Clonfad, Roger North of Kings Co and Henry Pilkington of Newcastle (EN email 14 Mar 2008). A Bracklyn House of late 1700s vintage is listed in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, but that was the seat of the Fetherstonhaughs (10.7), not the Norths. Bridget North, Dublin, wife of Joseph, obtained 'conformity' on 27 Jul 1745 with the Act to prevent the further growth of popery 1703 to 1789 (Convert Rolls, Editor Eileen O’Byrne, Extract from Irish Manuscripts Commission 1981 (Dublin City Lib): EN email 21 Jun 2008).

Sir Charles Coote’s Statistical Survey of the King’s County, 1801 at page 146 describes the pasture of the county as 'very rich, luxuriant and full of herbage; in some places in the upper parts, equal to feed a bullock of any weight. In the lower half barony, store sheep only are kept, as in the neighbourhood of Croghan Hill, which is esteemed the best store ground for sheep in Ireland. Immediately adjoining Croghan, towards Philipstown, the pasture is light and of inconsiderable extent. Roger North Esq of Kilduff in this neighbourhood and Thomas Berry Esq of Eglish Castle ... occupy almost the entire of the green farms; Mr North has made some choice improvements here in draining, burning and gravelling the moors, which, after producing an abundant crop of rape, give excellent pasture for store cattle, three-fourths of the year. This gentleman has also built an excellent mansion-house, which, with infant plantations in the adjoining grounds, have greatly ornamented this part of the country, and must have had before, a miserable and bleak appearance. In this end of the Barony they are not at all choice in their breed of cattle. They buy them in at two years at the Connaught Fairs, they store feed them for a year, and then sell to the Meath graziers; and they are equally inattentive to their breed of sheep and horses.'  At page 165 it refers to 'a charitable school, well attended to, under the patronage of Miss North, and subscriptions liberally paid; it is intended to be enlarged, on a more extensive plan' (EN email 26 Jan 2010, forwarding info from Shonagh Love). There are several deeds concerning this Roger:

Mullagharush was held by William 'for and during such estate and terms for 2 lives and years as was granted to said Roger North of the said lands by the Earl of Charlenelle rent free'. Deed 1838 4 39 of 12 Feb 1838 between William North of Oldtown, King’s Co, 1st part & George Symes of Hollybrook Pk, Co Dublin, is a sale from William North to George Symes of Cloneen, Cloonagh & Mullagharush 290 acres etc for £1,500 & a further £550 to Wm North for furniture, utensils etc (CN email 24 Mar 2009).

In 1841 they moved to Queensland.  He chose the army as his career and saw service in the West Indies (1833), and the Siege of Flushing in Belgium in 1809. In 1811 he joined the Duke of Wellington at Badajos and fought under him in the Peninsular  War. William lived in Kilduff House. Just before his death he sold his property: 'The Bellevue station, on the Brisbane River, the property of Major William North, containing an area of 26,000 acres ; the unresumed half of Wivenhoe run, and 8,000 acres conditionally purchased land, with all improvements; 8,000 sheep, all ages; 250 head quiet cattle; bullock team, station horses, stores etc, for the sum of £4,500 cash, Messrs Campbell and Simpson being the purchasers' (The Darling Downs Gazette and General Advertiser, Toowoomba, Qld, 3 Jul 1872).

6a Joseph North b 1808 at Stradbally, Ireland, and d 1 Jan 1881 in Queensland (SP8; Qld BDM; photo of his gravestone in Ipswich Cemetery, Qld). The IGI records that Joseph Lieutenant North m Robert Dundas Burnett (female) in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 24 Jul 1836. Joseph North and Robert Dundas Burnett had issue in New South Wales (http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search?event=births; several of these entries were also registered in Qld BDM in 1854: NSW included Qld until 1859). Robert Dundas Burnett d in Qld on 17 Nov 1889 and is buried with her husband (Coral Collins email 9 Nov 2015); her father was John Burnett and her mother Deborah Patterson (Qld BDM).

She got cancer in 1905, went into hospital at Wolston Park and died in 1907 (Coral Collins email 9 Oct 2015; Qld BDM). Lucy was the daughter of George Frederick Chapman and Sarah Ann Norris (Qld BDM), who are buried at Lowood General Cemetery, Ipswich (Coral Collins email 9 Oct 2015).  In the 1920s William was living at 'Zillmere, Qld'; he was looked after by his daughter Vera and left his dairy farm to her (Coral Collins email 9 Oct 2015). According to Arthur George's birth certificate William was 52 in April 1898, so b c1846 rather than 1841, and was a grazier and farmer, born at Bullidilla, NSW

8a Lucy Dundas North, b 1889, m 1914 William Sidney Page (Qld BDM): Dr W Sidney Page, MD BS (Lond) MRCS LRCP (ENQ), Major AAMC (Australian Army Medical Corps), of 71 Wickham Terrace, Brisbane (http://discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/records/317197/49). A letter from Dr Page to the authorities dated 28 Dec 1920 says that Lucy Chapman 'has been dead many years and my wife, the eldest child, became foster mother to the three boys and kept house for them till the outbreak of war when she was married. Her father is eighty years of age and has never helped to maintain them for many years. He is active but lives in the country and my wife is not aware of his present ability. The eldest son has been living with us since Xmas and left to obtain a situation. A letter home would find him. I may add that my wife did not put in a claim for the lad's gratuity money though others did. The Board however sent for her and told her to file a claim as foster mother - as she was the only one they would give it to. I may add that my home has always been the headquarters of these boys since I married their [???] sister.'

Enlistment papers and related records (51 pages) are in the name of Arthur George North, as is his Qld death certificate. The first page is endorsed 'War medals etc to sister, Mrs L D Page, 40 Wickham Terrace, Brisbane, Q, under bond, [initialled], Officer in Charge Base Records, 1 Feb 1921'. Page 50 records 'No 6005, Pte North A G 1st Field Ambulance, late 2nd Australian General Hospital, died of wounds 5 Nov CIB2725/7569A dated London 19.11.16.'

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records state that he was the son of Mr W J E and the late Mrs L North and was born in Gympie. Page 14 of the enlistment records shows that he travelled through Gallipoli, Mudros (Lemnos), Tel-el-Kebir (a training camp: photo), Alexandria and Marseilles (at the end of March 1916), before getting to the war in France when he 'joined for temporary duty' on 6 Aug 1916

James Thomas Bell inherited his father's property Belmont on the Hawkesbury, NSW, after his mother died in 1837. It is said that 'he had not inherited his father's vigour and ability. He was more concerned with breeding fine horses, schooling and racing them, than in management of his land.  . . .  As a result, whilst young James Bell was at the King's School, his father became insolvent, the whole estate of Belmont and the family effects being sold at auction [in 1845, to his brother in law Francis Little, husband of Lt. Archibald Bell's 4th daughter Mary Ann Bell] to defray the debts. James [the younger], his father having died shortly afterwards [1861 - so 15 years afterwards], found himself penniless and his mother [Elizabeth North] forced to live in a cheap boarding house' (https://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:213067/s00855804_1968_1969_8_4_613.pdf).

The passenger list for the Light Brigade includes Rev Roger North aged 56, Ellen North 44, Roger North 20, Francis North 14, Frederick North aged 18, Sarah North 16, Henry North 12 and Charles North aged 2. All of these can be placed with the Rev Roger except for Frederick, b c1855, who has not, so far, been connected: a Frederick William North married Grace Keily in 1893 (C46) and they had a son Frederick Keily Arthur North who died aged 10 months in 1898 (Qld BDMC213); a Frederick North d 1928: his parents were John North and Louisa Ann Bugler (Qld BDM). Sarah North may be a child of Ellen Wake by another relationship, but she became part of the Rev Roger's family and is named with her husband in Rev Roger's 1893 will (EN email 24 Apr 2008); Sarah Elizabeth North married Alexander Charles Grant in 1879 (Qld BDM C533).

Thoms also lists in 1856 a Roger North, RM, Royal Navy, and in 1860 a Roger North RM Lieut, Chaplain, under the heading 'Officers Royal Navy & Royal Marines' (CN email 5 Apr 2008). Those entries would fit this Rev Roger North.

Roger North emigrated to Australia aged 20 in 1873 on the Light Brigade (Queensland Archives). Died Qld 1893 (Qld BDM C3033), apparently having committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver (Brisbane Courier, 14 Jan 1893, p 6):

Some sensation was caused in town yesterday morning (says the Maryborough News) of Thursday, when it became known that Mr Roger North, late Government agent on board the labour schooner Foam, had committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. Mr North had lately returned from a recruiting voyage to the South Seas, and was contemplating with pleasure a second voyage shortly. He was staying at the Custom-house Hotel, and had gone to his bedroom on Tuesday night about 11 o'clock, apparently in his usual good spirits and health, having been engaged in a conversation most of the evening with the inmates of the hotel. Shortly after 6 o'clock yesterday morning, Mr Moon, a commercial traveller, who was also staying at the hotel, got up to catch the Bundaberg train. In passing Mr North's room he noticed a light burning, and opened the door to look in. To his horror, he saw Mr North lying on the bed in his pyjamas, quite dead, and bleeding from a wound in his temple, a revolver in his hand. The unfortunate man had evidently placed the weapon close to his right temple, the bullet passing through the skull out on the left side, and thence, into the ceiling. The curtains and bedclothes were bespattered with blood. The police were at once communicated with, and in the course of the day the body was removed to the Immigration Depôt. It is curious that none of the inmates in the hotel heard the shot fired; but the fact that very heavy rain fell during the early morning, accompanied with thunder, would probably prevent the shot being heard, though the revolver was a large one. Mr Tuchey, of the Post Office Hotel, says he heard what he thought was a knock on some door in the direction of the hotel, about 3.30, during a heavy shower, and this may have been the shot. Deceased was formerly inspecting surveyor in the Railway Department, and was considered one of the smartest surveyors in the service. When railway construction was stopped a short time ago, the services of Mr North, with a number of other surveyors, were dispensed with. He assisted in the survey of the Mungarr-Gayndah line. Mr North was a brother of Mr W R North, MLA for Lockyer, and is a widower, and has left one child, a little girl, aged 9 years. His brother, Mr Frank North, arrived here last night from the Burnett Heads. No motive is assigned for the rash act, as he was always lively and of a joyous nature, and was not short of money. The body will be removed for interment in the Ipswich Cemetery.

Roger North married Grace Gibson in Queensland in 1882 (Qld BDM C548) and had issue. He was a widower at his death, so his wife Grace died before 1893. Yvonne Phillips (SP email 29 May 2013) says Grace Gibson died in 1883, the year their daughter was born

A death notice in The Queenslander newspaper of 7 Jan 1888 states 'On the 9th September, washed overboard during a heavy gale from the ship John Currier, in lat. 45 deg. S., long. 145 deg.

Third of three named sons of Roger North in deed 1838 7 185. Deed 1837 22 9 recites a 15 Nov 1817 marriage settlement between Roger North and Julia Smyth (EN email 10 Mar 2008; CN email 12 Aug 2009) The deed itself concerns the process of appointing Rev Thomas Gregg as a replacement trustee for Peter Warren, who had died. Deed 721 229 492764 of 15 Nov 1817 is their marriage settlement: Julia Smyth of St, Dublin, and Roger North the younger of Dublin, and Peter Warren of Henrietta St, and Robert Fraser of Dublin - marriage intended of Julia Smyth and Roger North: Julia was entitled to certain securities and monies made over to Peter Warren and Robt Fraser - whenever she needs them - terms and conditions (EN email 14 Oct 2008). In deed 1840 4 167 of 21 Feb 1840, Julia North, wife of Roger North of Kilduff, did exercise a certain power reserved to her by deed of Nov 1817 [her marriage settlement] re various properties in Dublin to Roger North (EN email 1 Feb 2009). Deed 1840 4 207: Julia North wife of Roger North of Kilduff re Elizabeth Moore, aunt of Julia North, re shares and debentures left in will, transferred to Roger North, v lengthy (EN email 1 Feb 2009). Deed 1841 25 27 refers to Ralph Smyth, Glasnevin, Dublin, only son of Ralph Smyth, formerly of Parliament St, Dublin, woolen draper, and Anne Smyth, his wife, both deceased; and Roger North and Julia North otherwise Smyth, one of the daughters of Ralph Smyth and executor and legatee of Sarah Smyth her sister, deceased; and Anne Robbins otherwise Fraser - sorting out properties, families and money (EN email 1 Feb 2009).

In the Registry of Deeds, 1845, Book 10 no143, Roger North of Kilduff, King’s Co, agrees to pay £50 per annum through trustees Johnson & Ryan, Gardiner St, Dublin, to his eldest son Rev Joseph North, on his marriage to Emma Deering, Upr Mount St, Dublin. Thoms 1845 directory lists Lucius Henry Deering, Esq at 71 Abbey St and 59 Upper Mount St, Dublin- presumably Emma's father. A deed at 1847 Book 1 No. 127 dated 31 Oct 1847 refers to Rev Joseph North of Thomastown Glebe, Co Kildare & Emma North (nee Deering). Deed 1853 18 225 of 9 Jul 1853 records the sale of a £40 annuity to Wm Gibson for the life of Rev Joseph North of Kilduff, payable out of the lands of Kilduff, 170 acres, Barony Philipstown, King’s Co and the transfer of the land to Francis Blackburne Martley as trusteee, for a payment of £300 Sterling. Deed 1853 32 216 of 21 Dec 1853 records that Rev Joseph North sold for £200 Sterling a further annuity of £25 13s 6d to Gibson out of the rents of Kilduff(EN email 1 Nov 2007). Joseph was getting capital sums in return for annuites payable from the rents of Kilduff for the rest of his life (which turned out to be a long one), and Kilduff was put into the hands of trustees to secure the annunities. The effective interest rate is over 10% pa, so Joseph must have had good reason to enter into the arrangement: perhaps he did inherit the land in 1850 but wanted immediate cash rather than longer term rents. In a lengthy deed, 1898 Bk 65, 229, recording a sale of Kilduff and other properties, Norths are mentioned among many other families (SP email 9 Dec 2007). Joseph moved to England with his first wife (SP, citing 1861 and 1871 English census records) and does not appear to have had issue. 1887 Book 49 Ref 231 records Joseph and Emma's address as Leamington, Warwickshire (SP email 9 Dec 2007). Penultimate address was Cambridge, England (SP email 4 Oct 2007). In a will dated 1 Aug 1905 from Kingstown, Dublin, he leaves his estate to his sister in law, Jane Marion Fitzgerald, 'who has been very kind and attentive to both myself and my wife during our prolonged illnesses, and has undertaken to allow me to reside for the future under her care, all my property …,' valued at £4,790 16s 2d (EN email 16 Apr 2008)

Peter North's will left 'All to my wife Georgina title and interest in the whole of the lands of Clonfad, Westmeath. All rents and everything to do with this land, and to dispose of them as she sees fit. And the residue and all else to Georgina.' The will states that he died on 22 Aug 1859, and was 'late of Richmond St, Dublin, at The Glebe, Dunleer, Co Louth, £2400.00' (extract in the National Archive: EN email 11 Apr 2008). Georgina Lyster's will was witnessed by Roger North (?her nephew, 6e above, m Matilda Lucy Lyster) and Lyttleton H Lyster (Georgina's brother & Roger North's father in law - 6e below). James Croften and Roger D Robinson are the executors and trustees, but the main beneficiaries are Georgina's daughters and their children: 'To hold for rents, profits from the lands Clonfad etc, for daughters Caroline and Barbara, for their lives, and after the death of the said Caroline to pay her share to her husband Robert S Swift, if he survives his wife, and after deaths of Caroline and Robert Swift to be paid to the children of Barbara & eventually to the children of Barbara (when everyone else is dead)'. Signed 16 Nov 1863, 16 Mount Pleasant Square, Dublin by Georgina North (SP email 4 Oct 2007; EN email 11 Apr 2008; the effect of Georgina's will seems to be to exclude Barbara's husband James Croften from any benefit, notwithstanding that he is an executor). Deed 1834 14 299 of 1 Aug 1834 concerns Peter North of Grafton St, Dublin, and the Rev Tho Mercer Vigors of Burgage, Co Carlow - for the sum of £500 to Peter North by Tho Mercer Vigors to sell lands of Clonfad, Tyrrellspass, 168 acres plus bog, for 21 years (EN email 14 Oct 2008 - presumably this is a lease or a mortgage rather than a sale).

Deed 645 301 448442 of 30 May 1810 [i.e. before Hannah and William were married] between Hannah North & William Goodwin & Roger North of Kilduff & Peter North of Dublin, son of Roger, concerns lands of Garrough, Moygashel, Westmeath (EN email 22 Jan 2009). Deed 1838 7 185 refers to William Goodwin of Naas, Co Kildare, and Hannah Goodwin otherwise North, his wife, daughter of the late Roger North: William and Hannah sell an annuity of £20 to which Hannah was entitled from her father's estate to George Symes for £150 (EN email 11 Jul 2008; CN email 20 Mar 2009)

Deed 598 145 407535 of 25 March 1808 is their marriage settlement: Roger North of Kilduff and Bridget North, spinster, 1st part; & John Chamley of Dublin and Christopher Chamley of Dublin, 2nd part; & John Claud Beresford of Dublin, Alderman, and Wm Roper of Dublin 3rd part - John Chamley in consideration of marriage intended between Chr Chamley & Bridget North and of £5,000 marriage portion of said Bridget secured by Roger North, John Chamley did grant and confirm all that and those the town & lands of Lissaroon with the appur sit in the Barony of Eliogarty and co of Tippereary [the same barony in which Martin North, cromwellian adventurer, was granted lands in the Cromwellian settlement: CN email 12 Oct 2009] and a long list of other properties, many which were security for a £5,000 mortgage dated 1794, to the trustees - signed John Chamley, witnessed Peter North, Henry Baker (EN email 1 Feb 2009; CN email 12 Oct 2009).

4b Emor North (SP2). Existence doubtful. SP2 has a date 1764 next to this Emor: 'that came from the tree developed by the Australian lady that I got the other Maj William North, Rev Roger North information from. I never knew if that Emor was fact and could not reach her to verify her source' (SP email 7 Apr 2009). Not mentioned in his father's 1781 will. See notes re his cousin Emor North the attorney. Possibly this Emor is the nephew 'Emor North of Tyrrellspass' who is a party to deed 549 380 364188 of 1802, though that Emor could as well be this Emor's cousin, Emor the attorney

3g Sarah North, named in her father's will. Possibly married Andrew Allen in 1729 (ML: EN email 11 Sep 2009)

3h Mary North, named in her father's will. Deed 301 115 199302 is an indented deed of 28 Feb 1767 between John North of Cornhill, Co Tipperary, 1st part, & Mary North of Clonfad, Co Westmeath, spinster, and Joseph North of Brackland, Kings Co, brother of said Mary North, other part - a marriage was then shortly intended to be had between John North and said Mary North and for providing a complete jointure for said Mary, John North did grant unto Joseph [as trustee] a yearly charge of £20 on lands of Cornhill, Co Tipperary, for 31 years commencing after the death of John North for the use and benefit of Mary North. A marriage portion of £300 was also placed in trust with Joseph for the use of Mary North after death of John should she survive him. Witnessed by John Habernathy [sic, but perhaps John H Abernethy?] of Begstown, Co Westmeath, William North of Clonfad, Co Westmeath, Roger North of Brackland, Kings Co; memorandum sworn 19 Feb 1774 (EN email 17 Aug 2008; CN email 2 May 2009).This marriage is attributed to this Mary North because the settlement says she is a sister of Joseph North of Brackland and the only known such Joseph is 3f Joseph above. However, this Mary's siblings married much earlier, and several of them were dead or heading towards their deaths by 1767. Perhaps she was 'of Clonfad' because she was living with her brother William there. Deed 200 338 133388 of 22 & 23 Aug 1759 seems to be a mortgage: it records that John North of Cornhill, Co Tipperary, did lease and confirm to Roger North of Newcastle his heirs etc, that part of Kilbride known as Whitewell, ~240 acres, to have and hold during the natural lives of Roger North, Charles North and James McCabe and their survivors, with a clause of renewals forever, with a proviso that the deed shall be void on payment of £300 sterling with interest on 1 Feb next; witnesses Ulysses North of Newcastleand Daniel Colo of Newcastle, yeoman(EN emails 12 Mar and 17 Aug 2008; CN email 21 Jun 2009). James McCabe is also mentioned in deeds 433 338 203591 and 290 362 192544. In the latter he is described as 'of Bracklin', so he is almost certainlya brother of Joseph North of Brackland's wife Bridget McCabe. This Whitewell deed concerns the same property and is for the same 'lives' as a deed of 22 Jul 1757 which transferred Whitewell from Thomas Smyth or Thomas Smith to John North of Tyrrellspass, son of Roger North of Kilbride and father of Roger North of Whitewell (see 16.3.1 and deed 290 362 192544). The latter deed seems to have been the one subsisting when it was transferred in 1786 (16.3.1); perhaps the John of Cornhill Whitewell deed was part of a £300 mortgage arrangement. Cornhill is in North Tipperary bordering Offaly. Some speculation: it looks likely that Mary was marrying late in life. Perhaps to a cousin, as they have the same family name. One such cousin is John North, son of Mary's uncle Roger North of Kilbride Castle. He married Margaret Abernethy and appears to have had only one son, Roger, who married in 1760 (so probably born in the 1730s). John is recorded as being of Kilbride, Whitewell, Tyrrellspass and Fairfield. Possibly his wife Margaret died some time after giving birth to Roger, hence the lack of further issue, leaving John free to pursue other interests. John appears to have leased out most of Whitewell and he and his son had few dealings in it after 1757. Perhaps in 1757, after renewing the lease (deed 290 362 192544) John moved to Cornhill, and it was from there that he concluded deed 200 338 133388, a mortgage or other dealing in Whitewell. Subsequently he visited Clonfad and there found cousin Mary, a spinster, perhaps housekeeping for her brother William, and marriage followed in 1767. That would explain why John Habernathy was a witness to Mary's marriage settlement, and why the otherwise mysterious John North 'of Cornhill' was dealing in Whitewell in 1757

3i William North of Clonfad (SP8), [d 1782 (CoN)], d 1800 (Vicars prerogative wills, 16.4.7), d 31 Aug 1800 (deed 549 380 364188). Deed 549 380 364188 of 31 Jul 1802, between Emor North of Tyrrellspass, Westmeath, 1st part and Roger North of Kilduff, Kings Co, other part - reciting that Wm North late of Clonfad, Westmeath, deed of 15 May 1798 made his will, and on 31 Aug 1800 died, and thereby bequeathed to his nephew the said Roger North that part of the lands of Clonfad lying on the east side of the road leading from Tyrrellspass to Mullingar now in the possession of said Roger North, for the term and under the rent and restrictions in said will mentioned, but subject to one annuity of £40 sterling thereby bequeathed to his nephew Emor North, also party to said deed, for twelve years from said Testator’s decease, provided said Emor North should so long live, and that in consideration of the sum of £230 to Emor North paid by Roger North before execution of the said deed Emor North granted bargain sold assigned transferred and made over to Roger North his admins and assignees the said annuity of £40 from the 1st day of May last for ten years provided Emor North shall so long live, and all his the said Emor North’s right Tull once ?? interest therein in as ample manner as said Emor North held and enjoys the same by virtue of the said will of the said Wm North - this memorial witnessed by Patrick Costello of Kilduff, farmer, and Anna North of Tyrrellspass, spinster; signed Emor North seal - executed in the presence of, being first duly stamped, Patrick Costello & Anna North [not placed] (EN email 22 Feb 2009). From that summary it is not too clear what is going on, but several things are clear: William had nephews Roger and Emor, so he is this William rather than William son of Roger of Kilbride Castle below; this William made his will in 1798 so he was alive then; and he died on 31 August 1800, so he was alive until then; so he is not the William whose will Betham recorded dated 1782 and proved in 1783. Roger and Emor the nephews are probably the sons of William's brother Joseph of Bracklyn or Brackland above, though nephew Emor could as well be the son of William's brother Philip, Emor the attorney: a William North was a trustee to that Emor's 1769 marriage settlement; there is no evidence that either Emor was 'of Tyrrellspass' - Emor the attorney seems to have been based in Dublin. Harriet Bainbridge recorded this William as 'of Kilbride', which was repeated in the Coffeys of Newcastle: that appellation now seems unlikely, and it seems more likely that this William was solely 'of Clonfad'. Deed 220 56 143900 of 14 Dec 1761 principally concerns Roger North of Newcastle, but it is witnessed by 'Wm North of Clonfad in ye co Wtmeath one of the atteys of his Maties Ct of Excheqre in Ireld' (CN email 10 Mar 2009): so William was an attorney. That is confirmed in the 1760 Dublin Almanac Registry Directory where he is listed as William North, Attorney, Exchequer in Ireland. By 1764 he is no longer listed (EN email 15 Apr 2009). Deed 559 539 377072 of 6 Jul 1804: Roger North of Kilduff, 1st part; and Philip North and William North his eldest son of Golden Lane, City of Dublin, other part - wherby after reciting that Wm North late of Clonfad Westmeath did by his last will dated 15 May 1798 devise and bequeath all part Clonfad held by lease under the Right Honoourable most Reverend Thomas Lewis, Lord Bishop of Meath, and lying on the right side of the road leading from Tyrrellspass to Mullingar, 168 acres, to Roger North, subject to half the head rents and half the renewal monies payable out of the same; and did likewise by said will demise all that other part of said lands of Clonfad, lying on the left hand side of the said road leading from Tyrrelspass to Mullingar, 153 acres, unto Philip North and William North his [Philip's] son as in said deed – said Philip taking the same for six years only[,] each share to be subject to a moiety of the yearly rent and fines payable to the said Bishop and the parties did for themselves their executors, administrators and assigns covenant and agree with each other that they should hold and enjoy their respective shares of said lands without any claim or demand being ever made by any or either of them to the share of the other (EN email 22 Jan 2009; CN email 19 Jun 2009). Philip is thought to be William's nephew Philip, who married Sarah Pilkington (above). William also seems to have left an annuity to a Mary Ann North, who has been placed tentatively as a sister of William, son of Philip North and Sarah Pilkington, who inherited the left part of Clonfad: Deed 579 284 391570 of 5 Apr 1806 is a memorandum of an indenture deed of rent charges whereby William North of Dublin undertakes to pay £40 annuity as bequeathed out of lands of Clonfad under the will of Willliam North of Clonfad, deceased, to Mary Ann North of Dublin and her assigns for the term of her natural life, payable annually at the Royal Exchange, Dublin (EN email 30 Apr 2009). Mary Ann North's husband was Rev Alexander A Nicholson, clerk, and on 8 Feb 1845 when living at Moylary Glebe, Co Louth, they sold the annuity to Richard Summers of Tyrrellspass (Deed 1845 3 53: CN email 27 Jun 2009).

2d Roger North of Kilbride Castle, d 1766 (SP1), m 1704 Mary Wade (SP1), and had issue. (Kilbride Castle, possibly formerly a 'castle' of the Tyrrell family, may already have been in ruins at that time, and the Norths lived near it and used the name, rather than living in it - CN email 26 Apr 2009; Noel Gavin says (SP email 3 Nov 2013): 'the North's could not have lived in Kilbride Castle because it was never a place to live but a simple defense structure. It was more likely Kilbride House where they actually lived. The records probably referred to the Castle because it was familiar to the locals')

3a William North of Kilbride Castle, d c1783 (CoN suggests 'killed in Rising of 1803', but it is ambiguous: it must be that just Lord Kilwarden (Arthur Wolfe) died in the uprising), d 1783 (Vicars prerogative wills), m Wolfe ('aunt of Lord Kilwarden' (CoN)) (SP1) and had issue. Deed 549 369 364150 seems to refer to this William. It states that he made a will dated 16 Jun 1782. Betham records such a will: 344 North, William, Kilbride, dated 19 Jun 1782, proved 17 Oct 1783 sons Roger and Joseph (EN email 25 Apr 2008; SP email 15 Oct 2015 p.12). The deed states that William's heir was his eldest son Roger North of Kilbride. Another party to the deed is Joseph North of Northbrook, whose relationship to William is not stated: he could be William's younger son Joseph North who married Miss Briggs, below, and had connections with Northbrook; deed 356 125 238786 of 20 Oct 1783, Roger's marriage settlement, says that sons Roger and Joseph inherited from William. The substance of deed 549 369 364150 concerns a renewal of a lease of Rathnowland, 57 acres 2 roods 15 perches plantation measure, part of Kilbride, originally made to the Robert Rochfort, in favour of Anne Rochfort, his widow and administator of the wills of Hon Robert Rochfort, late of Bowden Park, Westmeath (EN email 19 Oct 2008). If these deeds have been interpreted correctly, then this William died in 1782 or 1783, and not in the uprising of 1803. There may be (past and present) confusion between this William and William of Clonfad, son of Joseph of Newcastle, above. Deed 289 309 190947 of 8 May 1772 was between William North of Kilbride 1st part; and Alexander Barrington of Barretstown, Co Kildare, 2nd part - reciting indentures of lease of 21-22 July 1757 (deed 1757 187 347 125349) re Thos Smith 1st part and Wm North other part purporting to be a demise of part of the lands of Kilbride and Tonlegee for 3 lives renewable at a pepper corn fine - the said Wm North in consideration £300 did grant bargain to said A Barrington all that part of the town and lands of Kilbride and Tonglegee in the occupation of said William North containing 223 acres & premises unto said A Barrington his heirs etc to the sole and only use of said A Barrington during the natural life of said William North, Roger North his eldest son, and Jn Gerrard of Parcelstown [Parsonstown], Westmeath, the three [lives] in said recited lease named and survivors of them and such others by virtue of covenants – subject to redemption upon payment of £300 (EN email 14 Oct 2008)

Deed 1815 693 476083 of 23 Sep 1815 is long and somewhat involved settlement for the proposed marriage between Abraham John Pilkington and Mary E North, then aged 18, involving Mary North (her mother and guardian), and Joseph North of Northbrook (her uncle, 4c Joseph North: SP email 25 Oct 2007) and Richard Summers [= Somers?] of Tyrrellspass as trustees. It involves sums of money and lands of Kilbride East Division, Kilbride and Tonlegee, all of which are put into trust, with some complications because Mary Elizabeth is under 21 and to take account of all contingencies regarding the number of children of the marriage (EN email 24 Oct 2007). Abraham John Pilkington died c25 Mar 1874 and probate was granted on 27 Aug 1874. His will left all his estate, including entitlements under his marriage settlement, to his daughter, Maria Jane Pilkington, wife of William Knight, farmer, of Coola Lodge, Kilmague, Co Kildare (National Archives ref T12633: EN email 24 Apr 2009)

If Maria was under 30 when she married in 1844, then she was born after 1815, which would make her a daughter of Mary Elizabeth North rather than of Maria McHugo. However, Maria Jane may well be a daughter of Maria McHugo rather than of Mary Elizabeth North: possibly Maria McHugo died of complications from the birth

4c Joseph North of Northbrook (SP1), m c1764 (EN email 11 Mar 2008) Miss Briggs (SP email 15 Nov 2007). May have died in the late 1830s (when he may have been aged in or near his 90s) according to an interpretation of the 29 March 1840 Oswego letter. He seems to have been alive in 1835 (deed 1835 19 20 below), and the renewal of the lease of Northbrook in 1839 (see deed 1853 14 264) may have been a followup to his death. Alice Briggs also Hall (possibly the Halls of Knockbrack in Burke: EN email 20 Sep 2009), of Cappagh, Co Galway, widow (of Jonathan Briggs, Prerogative Grant April 1745, died intestate) left a will which tells us that Miss Briggs was Rachel Briggs: to my eldest son John [Briggs] the lands of Shannah & Tisseloncond?; reference to his brother William [Briggs], deceased; to my second son Joseph [Briggs] £140; to daughter Catherine Pilkington [otherwise Briggs] £100; to grandaughters Alice & Sarah Pilkington, other children [unnamed, number not given]; son in law Thomas Woods £70 to be divided between his children [number not given]; daughter Hannah Woods also Briggs, deceased; to daughter Rachel North also Briggs, £50; executors John Briggs, said son, Christopher Hall of Cloonbah?, Co Galway, Thomas Woods of Garbally?, King’s Co; witnessed by Thomas Kenny, Henry Persse, Nob? Sinclair; dated 22 Feb 1780, proved 10 Jul 1781 (Prerogative wills 1781, No 2876 Thrift Abstracts Microfilm – National Archives, Dublin: EN email 18 Apr 2009). Roger Briggs and Benjamin Briggs, sons of Thomas Briggs of Tyrrellstown House, Tyrrellspass are mentioned in deed 705 542/3 483478 of 1816-1818, as are Joseph North of Northbrook, Co Galway (most probably this Joseph, though possibly 5b Joseph below) and John North son of John North of Whitewell (SP2). Those Briggs may be related. Allice Briggs and Jonathan Briggs' eldest son John Briggs of Cappa married Jane Grome and got one half or moiety of the lands of Skeanan and Cappa as a marriage settlement from Allice, then a widow (Deed 1780 337 483 227854 of 10 Jun 1780: CN email 29 Sep 2009). Allice Briggs of Cappagh's second son Joseph Briggs was a witness to Allice's £700 mortage transaction over the lands of Great and Little Coolers in Co Meath on 1 May 1779 (Deed 1779 322 22 219712). Joseph moved to Galway (SP emails 25 Oct & 14 Nov 2007). He is reported to have had at least one son, 5a William, and may have had others - Joseph North and Roger North of Cappa. Inherited land from his Uncle Joseph, 3c Joseph of Garrynamishaun below (SP email 27 Feb 2008). Also inherited a half share in lands of Kilbride when his father William died in 1783, which half share he first leased to his brother Roger (recited in deed 356 125 238786 of 1783), and leased at least in part ('East Division') to brother Roger's daughter Mary Elizabeth North in 1805 (deed 582 258 393193); the reversionary intererst passed to his son Roger, below. Deed 1835 19 20 of 22 Jul 1835 records a transaction between Joseph North of Northbrook, Galway [probably this Joseph but possibly his son Joseph], and Roger North of Cappard in said Co, whereby Joseph North demised to Roger North all that … lands of Northbrook known of the name of Cow Park ... 26 half acres … for the said lives of Roger North the leasee and of Roger Robert North youngest son of David North of Fairview and of Gustavus Wade, youngest son of Thomas Wade of Fairfield, Co Galway or for 31 years whichever last longer at a yearly rent £1 per acre from 1 May 1836 (EN email 11 Mar 2008; CN email 5 Sep 2009).

It seems Margaret Whitestone had at least three siblings: a brother Luke who was surgeon at the laying in hospital in Dublin (Thoms 1841 directory lists Luke Whitestone, MD & surgeon of 32 Frederick St, north, Dublin; in 1851 he was at 42 Hardwick St, Dublin (EN email 1 Sep 2010)); a sister who married Mr Groome of Sycamore Hill (possibly Mr Grome - see note on 29 Mar 1840 Oswego letter); and a sister who married Mr McGrath of Castlereach (SP email 17 Dec 2008 from family sources; one sister may have been Miss Whitestone at 3 Northumberland Ave, Kingstown (1851 directory entry: EN email 1 Sep 2010)). Deed 1805 570 206 380859 of 7 Feb 1798 records the lease of a castle near the bridge at Ballynasloe, Co Rosscommon, from William Pilkington to Ann Whitestone, widow, of Dublin. It records Margaret and Ann as the first and second daughters of the said Ann Whitestone, and Luke Whitestone as the only son of Elizabeth Whitestone [which implies that Ann Whitestone and Elizabeth Whitestone were different people, not the singular Ann Elizabeth Whitestone, widow, of the following deed: the separation seems to be a clerical artefact; information from family sources is that Luke had three or four sisters (SP email 2 Jul 2009). Ann Elizabeth Whitestone may have had a daughter Elizabeth Whitestone: see https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V5V7-KTS, Elizabeth, dau of Henry and Elizabeth Whitestone, christened 7 Dec 1778]. The memorial is witnessed by William North of Northbrook. Deed 566 410 384183 of 5 Oct 1804 is the marriage settlement for William and Margaret: between Joseph North, Northbrook, Co Galway, William North eldest son of Joseph, Ann Elizabeth Whitestone of Fairfield in the said Co, widow, and Margaret Whitestone, spinster, daughter of said Ann, concerning a marriage then to be solemnized between said Wm North and Margt Whitestone - was agreed that sd Wm North should receive from Ann Eliz Whitestone as the marriage portion of the sd Margt Whitestone the sum of £700 stg which was then immediately paid over to said Joseph North in part consideration of said marriage and which sum, when paid by said Ann E Whitestone, was to be in full satisfaction and discharge of all claims and --- whatsoever which the said Margt or Wm, her intended husband, could or might have for any part or share of the aforesaid or effects of her father the late Henry Whitestone deceased or to her – and it was thereby agreed that the said Joseph North in consideration of said marriage and of his then receiving said sum of £700 so to be paid to him within seven months from the date by good and sufficient --- in law at the --- of the said Wm North grant convey and make over all his the said Joseph North['s] title and interest in the said Lands of Northbrook otherwise Garryahone [Garrinahane], Co Galway ---- and ample a manner as the said Joseph North then held and enjoyed the same under the last will and testament of his uncle late Joseph North of Garryahone --- charges etc, ---witnessed by James Whitestone, City of Dublin, one of his majesty’s Councillors at Law, and Thos Magrath, Jnr, of Castlerea (EN email 22 Jan 2009). Ann Elizabeth Whitestone may have been Ann Elizabeth Wade before her marriage, and her father [or brother] may have been Thomas Wade of Fairfield and her brother [or nephew] Gustavus Wade (SP email 11 Mar 2008, citing Wayne Palmer pers comm). Gustavus R Wade, solicitor, died in 1897 (EN email 3 Apr 2008 - probate records, National Archives, T 13914). A Henry Whitestone, eminent bookseller died on 18 Oct 1787 at Dame St, Dublin (Faulkner's Dublin Journal, 1725-1795: SP email 26 Jun 2009). He may have been chair of the Corps of the Independent Dublin Volunteers in Dec 1782 (letter to the Rt Hon Henry Grattan, 1 Dec 1782: SP email 26 Jun 2009). Northbrook was the residence of Mr William North in 1814. The lands at Northbrook or Garrinahane, parish of Aughrim, barony of Kilconnell, were offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in February 1853. This property was held on a lease from Samuel Handy to Joseph North. The original lease was for three lives from 1750 (deed 1752 152 235 101563 below). The lease was renewed for new lives on 21 Apr 1839 and the property was sold on 11 May 1853 to James McBride for £2,615 paid 'to the credit of the estate of Joseph North owner separate Anne Elizabeth Pilkington petitioner' by order of the Commissioners for Sale of Incumbered Estates (Deed 1853 14 264). The Joseph North's 'estate' the deed refers is that of 4a Joseph North above. 6b Joseph North, was described as 'of Northbrook' in 1839, and he seems likely to be the Joseph who got the 1750 lease renewed for lives in 1839 (deed 1853 14 264 refers). In Incumbered Estates Court, Ireland. List of Petitions Filed From the Commencement of Proceedings, October 25th, 1849, to July 28th, 1853.

Deed 1854 18 222 of 3 Jun 1854 records a later dealing in Northbrook, 156 acres 3 roods and 34 perches irish plantation measure, by Joseph Denham of Northbrook and Catherine Stephenson, his wife, dau of Rev Ephram Stephenson of Enniskillen deceased. The dealing mentions the sum of £500 and 'other considerations' paid by Catherine, as executor of her father's estate, to her husband to put the land in trust as soon as a lease of it might be obtained in accordance with an 'accepted proposal', and may be part of their marriage settlement (CN email 8 Sep 2010). Today, the Northbrook buildings, on the road between Kilconnell and Aughrim, are in ruins of which there are several, stone walls with trees growing through them and thickly clad with ivy etc and it is very difficult to ascertain which ruin could have been the original house. There is still a John North there, and a notice along the road Northbrook Cattle Co: The West is Best (EN email 4 Jun 2008). Fairfield is also on the road between Kilconnell and Aughrim, about a mile down the road from Northbrook and very close to Aughrim village (EN email 4 Jun 2008)

Joseph North, eldest son of William North, of Northbrook, was the life in an 1819 lease of East Pollboy, Co Galway; when that was auctioned in Nov 1879 he was said to be 'now aged about 74 years' (Ireland Encumbered Estates 1850-1885), so b c1805. He m(1) (marriage settlement dated 5 Dec 1835 referred to in deed 1839.21.84: CN email 19 Feb 2009; but first child baptised 11 Sep 1834, see below) Letitia Lambert (SP email 12 Mar 2008), who died (SP email 7 Mar 2008). Letitia Sophie North, Ballinasloe, was buried in Galway 13 Feb 1856, aged 48 (so b c1808) (parish records: EN email 6 Dec 2008). Joseph, described as a widower, gent and son of William, and of St Grillians, Ballinasrae, m(2) at St Mary's Church, North Dublin, on 7 Aug 1857 Arabella Selina Naghton, spinster, of 39 Upper Dorset St, daughter of Edward Naghton, gent (EN email 18 Apr 2009; marriage cert: EN email 26 Feb 2010; St Mary parish records, Dublin). Deed 1839 21 84 refers to Joseph and Letitia's marriage settlement, £1,000 in trust to Thomas Homan Pilkington of Abbeyville and Thos Lahiff of Russane, both Co Galway, for the benefit of Margaret Anne North, Joseph's mother; it also involves the settlement of the will dated Jan 1826 of Henry Lambert, Letitia's father. Thomas Homan Pilkington of Abbeyville, Co Galway, is possibly a relative of 6d Anne North's husband Henry Pilkington (CN email 19 Feb 2009; EN emails 10 Mar & 17 Oct 2008; SP email 16 Jan 2008). That Henry Lambert was Letitia's father is confirmed in deed 1837 13 197 of 1 June 1837: Thomas Burke executor of the late Henry Lambert late of Aggard, Co Galway, & Margaret Burke one of the daughters and legatees of Henry Lambert 1st part; Thomas Lahip of Russane, Co Galway & Anne Lahip of Russane otherwise Kirwan otherwise Lambert, deceased, of 2nd part; Thomas Homan Pilkington of Abbeyville, Co Galway, and Jane Pilkington [otherwise] Lambert his wife, one other of the daughters and legatees of Henry Lambert deceased 3rd part; Wm North [sic, as per the memorial in the Registry of Deeds (EN email 22 Oct 2008), but that should be Joseph, not William] of Northbrook, Co Galway and Letitia North, otherwise Lambert his wife, one other of the daughters and legatees of said Henry, 4th part; Walter Lambert of Castlelawbert?, Co Galway, 5th part; Richard O’Farrell of Treud?, Portarlington, Queens Co, late Lt Col in the 41st Reg Foot, 6th part - the said Thomas Burke and Margaret Burke, Thomas Lahiff and Anne, Thomas Homan Pilkington and Letitia, and Walter grant bargain ... £1,000 part of £3,500 charged on the lands of Streamstown and Ballydrinny Galway - eight title & interest - Thomas Lambert the elder deceased - for trust for his younger children (EN email 14 Oct 2008; CN email 7 Feb 2009). Thomas Patrick Burke, Thomas Lahiff, trustee, and Thomas Homan Pilkington, son of Abraham John Pilkington of Killbride, Co Westmeath [by his first wife; he subsequently married Mary Elizabeth North], and his wife Jane Lambert, are also involved in deed 1837 10 173 in which funds from Henry Lambert's marriage settlement and estate were put into trust for the benefit of Thomas and Jane and heirs; mentions lands of Great and Little Aggart [Aggard] and lands of Abbeyville (otherwise Russells Careton) (CN email 28 Apr 2009). In the 1851 Oswego letter, Joseph had been ejected from Northbrook and had taken a cottage near Ballinisloe with his wife [Letitia] and 'her two daughters': his sister Elizabeth observed, 'How Joseph will support his wife and children I know not. I fear unless her family come forward they have a broken reed to depend on'

7a Letitia Henrietta North, baptised 11 Sep 1834 in Galway (parish records: EN email 6 Dec 2008). In 1853 Anne Pilkington (6d below) was staying 'with Roger', 'and so is poor Joseph's eldest daughter' (Oswego letters).

Deed 1882 22 225 of 22 June 1882 concerns the discharge of a £500 charge over Rhaniskey, Little Rhaniskey, and part of Bedfourland, containing 144 acres 3 roods and 16 perches statute measure situate in the Barony of Newcastle and County of Dublin, which charge was created on 10 Sep 1873 by Bartholomew Campbell Russell for the sole use of his daughter, Anne Russell, in contemplation of her marriage to William Henry North, the land being held by William John Russell as trustee. The marriage took place, Bartholomew senior died on 24 Sep 1874, and left the land to his son, also Bartholomew Campbell Russell, who paid £500 plus accrued interest to the trustee, with the agreement of Anne North nee Russell. The deed acknowleges the payment and extinguishes all claims over the land, which is released by Anne and the trustee to Bartholomew Campbell Russell (junior) (CN email 30 Sep 2010). Those two deeds may refer to this William Henry North.

Her husband d 8 Nov 1840 from tuberculosis in his 31st (possibly 51st) year (EN email 8 May 2008) and the following year she was keeping a boarding house in Kingstown (Oswego letters). There is a marriage bond from the Parish Registers for Meath in the National Archives, 1838, Anne Eliz North, Henry Pilkington (EN email 19 Apr 2008). There still extant copies of about seven letters to Oswego, New York, that she and her sisters wrote dating from 1840 though to the famine to 1853, in the manuscripts department of the National Library of Ireland (EN email 9 May 2008), which have given us some clues to her family. About half of the letters are crossed (written in two directions, one on top of the other) and very hard to decipher. There has been a suggestion, but so far no evidence, that she, or one of her brothers, went to Australia (EN emails 8 & 9 May 2008; SP email 31 Dec 2008).

5b ? Joseph North. A Joseph North had a will proved in Cappa, Galway in 1839: Prerog Grant Bk 1839 Fol 91 B (EN email 11 Apr 2008), 'Joseph North, Cappa, Galway, £180.00. Last Will … Joseph North, late of Cappa, proved in common law unto Roger North of the same place, near Kilconnell, sole executor; sworn personally, 16 May 1839.' A Joseph North, Ahascragh, was buried in Galway on 11 Dec 1840, aged 55 years (parish records: EN email 6 Dec 2008) i.e. born c1785. These two Josephs could be the same person if 16 May 1839 is the date of the will and 11 Dec 1840 the date of burial. This would be about the correct age for a brother of William. Galway parish records record two children of a Joseph and Eleanor or Ellen North. The Oswego letter of 1840 records that a Joseph did something on 12 Mar 1840, left his wife and daughters (plural) destitute; they were looked after by his son. Possibly he died on 12 Mar. Query whether that might be a son from an earlier marriage, to make him old enough to look after them. It appears from the same letter that Joseph was cut off by his father with only a shilling, which thwarted his hopes of obtaining a ministry (and presumably an income to go with it) and took a house in Ahascragh instead

6a Elizabeth Ann North baptised 1831, daughter of Joseph North and Eleanor North (of ?Rathinoler) (Galway parish records: EN email 6 Dec 2008)

6b William North, son of 'Joseph and Ellen North' was baptised in 1834 in Galway (parish records: EN email 6 Dec 2008)

6c ? Rachel North. The Oswego letter of 1840 records that a Joseph left his wife and daughters (plural) destitute in 1840. Possibly one of the daughters is Rachel North of Dorset St, spinster of full age, dau of Joseph North, officer in the army, m 22 Mar 1850 John Wraftor of 66 Aunger St, gentleman, son of Patrick Wraftor, gentleman, witness David North (St Peter parish records, Dublin). This may be the marriage referred to in the Oswego letter dated 17 May 1850: 'Joe North our cousin is dead and ... Rachel has been married since very comfortably'. There is no evidence, though, that Joseph of Cappa who died in 1839 or 1840 was 'an officer in the army'. A 'cousin' Joe is most likely a son of Joseph North, so a brother to this Rachael (assuming there was a relationship - Rachel, if she is the one who married, can't be cousin Joe's widow (Rachael was a spinster) and she can't be his daughter (Rachael was of full age, so born in or before 1829), so on that basis we can add a brother, Joe, here. David North, the witness to the 1850 marriage, might be David North of Farview, brother of Uncle Roger's wife Deborah North - though why he would be witness, rather than Uncle Roger himself, we might only guess

6d ?Joe North, the 'Joe North our cousin is dead' in the Oswego letter dated 17 May 1850. He may also be the son in this passage: '[Joe senior] left his wife and daughters completely destitute and they are now depending on his son who I dare say you recollect to have a situation in an establishment in Dublin and I believe his salary is more than a hundred per annum and he is one of the best sons and brothers' (Oswego letter dated 29 Mar 1840). Son William, above, b 1834, if alive, would be too young for that role, and this Joe would have to be rather older than his sisters. There is no other evidence of this cousin Joe North to date

5c ? Roger North, b c1792, d 10 May 1876. A Roger North d 10 May 1876 in Tyrrelspass, Co Westmeath, aged 84 (so b c1792), widower, 'lieutenant on half pay from marines'; the informant listed on the extract of the death certificate is J B North (sic: there is no known J B North of this era and geography; J B North is almost certainly a mistake for J P North, ie Joseph Pim North, Roger's executor) (death certificate: SP email 22 Mar 2008). Roger North of Tyrrellspass was a member of the Church of Ireland Parish of Clonfadforan, 'dead 31 Jan 1877'; R North donated £5 to the Parish in 1870 (Parish of Clonfad Foran records, COI library, Churchtown: EN email 29 Mar 2009). Deborah North & Roger North, marriage bond, 1839, Meath (CPR 1922 WW43): Deborah North of the marriage bond is almost certainly 6e Deborah North of Tyrrellspass, Westmeath, and Roger of the marriage bond is this Roger. Their marriage is mentioned in the 1840 Oswego letter, which also says Roger 'has disposed of Cappa' and is likely to go to reside in Westmeath. Deed 1839 15 189 is their marriage settlement. Roger left a will (EN email 3 Apr 2008) for an estate under £1,000, executor Captain Joseph Pim North, Deborah's nephew. Note also the Roger North of Tyrrellspass who gave rents and land to 'her relatives' the brothers Joseph Pim North and David Bomford North 'out of natural love and affection' (1870 Book 37 No. 155): he is most likely this Roger North. From the association with the brothers Joseph Pim North and David North, it is thought that the Roger who gave them rents and land must be some sort of relation; if Roger's wife was Deborah, and especially if they had no children of their own, that could be the connection. H G Hart's annual army lists for 1848 to 1853 (at least) list Roger North RM, Ensign 9 Mar 1813, half pay from 24 Nov 1824 (EN email 17 May 2008). Roger has been placed here with Joseph North because of the association between Joseph and the Roger North 'of Cappa' whom he named as executor of his will - they may well be brothers. What is not clear is why they seem to have been closer to the Norths of Whitewell than the family of their supposed brother, William of Northbrook, at least where land and money were concerned. Cappard was in Loughrea Barony, Kilthomas parish, Galway (SP email 11 Mar 2008); Cappa is a small village just north of Portumna on Lough Derg (SP email 16 Jan 2008). The Centre for Irish Study in Galway has a collection of Wade papers (SP email 15 Mar 2008). Roger, perhaps with his brother Joseph, appears to have inherited their father Joseph of Northbrook's moiety in Kilbride, which the father Joseph leased for lives to his brother Roger of Kilbride (deed 356 125 238786 refers); the East Division was leased by Joseph (senior) to Mary Elizabeth North in 1805 (deed 582 258 393193). Roger appears to have had the whole of their father's half interest by the time of his marriage settlement in 1839, so it is not clear that brother Joseph ever had an interest: perhaps Joseph was the third son. Roger's interest was left to Joseph Pim North in terms of the marriage settlement and deed 1870 37 155. The legal position with respect to the East Division (91 acres 3 roods & 3 perches) of Kilbride was clarified by deed 1875 54 299

4d daughters (SP1). These 'daughters' may well be daughters of 'Aunt Wolfe' by an earlier marriage: Lydia Cahill and Rose Cahill

3b John North of Tyrrellspass and Kilbride (Whitewell), b 1707 (SP1), probably alive 1786 (16.3.1), m 1730 Margaret Abernethy b 1710 (SP1), possibly a daughter or sister of Henry Abernethy (above) (SP2) and had issue. Possibly Margaret died early, and John subsequently married his cousin, Mary North. Deed 152 471 104582 possibly relates to this John North as his father Roger and brother William were 'of Kilbride'. It is a lease dated 2nd June 1749: John North of Kilbride, Westmeath, farmer, did demise let and to farm to Bartholomew Egan of Kilbride all that part of Kilbride joining Gibbonstown, 110 acres, to hold for 24 years – witness John Egan son of Bart Egan and William [North?] City of Dublin (EN email 6 Dec 2008; CN email 17 Feb 2009). That interpretation is confirmed by Deed 154 472 104583 of 1752: John North of Whitewell set Bart Egan 129 acres of Whitewell from 1 May for 22 years at £90, sworn 26 Aug 1752 (EN email 6 Dec 2008). By deeds of lease and release dated 21 & 22 Jul 1757 (deed 1757 434 125350(CN email 25 Jan 2010), recited in deed 290 362 192544), Thos Smith of Drumcree, Westmeath, did demise, grant, sett and to farm let unto John North of Fairfield, Kings Co, all that part of the town and lands of Kilbride by the name of Whitewell, 240 acres more or less, Fartullagh, Westmeath, to hold to said John North heirs etc for the lives of his son, Roger North of Dublin, Chas North, 3rd son of Roger then of Newcastle, Westmeath, and Jas McCabe of Bracklin – yearly rent £97 19s 6d lease containing covenants for renewing the same forever on payment of a pepercorn fine for renewal on the fall of every life. The 1749 lease of 110 ac plus the 1752 lease of 129 ac totals to the 240 ac of the 1757 lease, so presumably this is the same land. Deed 1816-18 705 542/3 483478 recites an earlier deed (1785 357 244676: CN email 21 Jul 2009), a lease dated 2 Aug1784 made between Archibold Armstrong of City of Dublin merchant of the one part & John North of Tyrrellspass in the coy of Westmeath gent of the other part whereby the sd Archibold Armstrong did devise unto the said John North all that & those these parts of the lands of Tinnakelly & Upper & Lower Tinnikelly contg 235 ac & 3 roods & 2p plantation measure (CN email 11 Mar 2008). The lease was for the lives of George Rochfort Hume, Roger Briggs and Benjamin Briggs, sons of Thomas Briggs of Tyrrellstown or 31 years at an annual rent of £105. By deed 425 55 275840 of 20 Apr 1786, John and his wife Mary subsequently demised their interest in Tinnekelly to Roger North of Birr in return for an annuity

4a Roger North of Whitewell (CoN), ironmonger, m 1760 ('1769': ML) Deborah Leland, daughter of Robert Leland, a glass grinder with a handsome fortune (SP1, from The Irish Genealogist), and had issue. Deborah's mother and Robert Leland's wife was Margaret Leland who left a will dated 7 Feb 1759, proved 12 Jun 1759: Margaret Leland widow, 7th February 1759; her son in law Thomas Bond; her son in law Edward Mockler; her daughter Mary Mockler; her children Jane Bond, Robert Leland, Deborah Leland; her daughter in law Margaret Leland; her grandchildren [i.e. children of Robert Leland jnr and Margaret his wife] Samuel Leland & Ann Leland; her servant Catherine Hendrich; her house at Ormond Quay, Dublin (Abstract of Wills, Reg of Deeds, vol II 1746 – 1785, copy in National Library, Dublin: EN email 15 Mar 2009). For more on the Lelands see Irish Furniture by Knight of Glin, James Peill, Fames Fennell Dara McGrath, Yale Uni Press, 2007, page 294 (CN emails 18 Mar 2009: that document indicates that Robert Leland senior was a looking glass manufacturer and had another son, John Leland, who took over his father's business in 1757, and then appears to have died before his mother; Robert senior also seems to have had a brother, Ralph Leland, also a looking glass manufacturer).Deed 206 401 136607 of 6 Aug 1760 is their marriage settlement: John North of Fairfield, Kings Co, gent, 1st part & Roger North of the City of Dublin, ironmonger, 2nd part; Deborah Leland, spinster, 3rd daughter of Robert Leland, late of the said City, merchant, deceased, 3rd part; Thomas [Edward?] Mockler of the City of Dublin, jeweller & Thomas Bond, tobacconist, 4th part - reciting marriage intended between Roger North & Deborah Leland by which article John North did grant unto Edw Mockler & Thomas Bond [in trust] all ye part of town and lands of Kilbride known as Whitewell then in possession of John North 240 acres, with provisions for annuities as charges on the land, witnessed James Smith, Richard Thwaites (EN email 6 Dec 2008). Deed 290 362 192544 of 4 Aug 1772: John North of Kilbride, Roger North Whitewell eldest son of J North, and Edward Mockler of Dublin, jeweller and Thomas Bond of Dublin, tobacconist - reciting lease of 22 Jul 1757 under which Thomas Smith of Drumcree, Westmeath, did demise and set unto John North all that part of the town and lands of Kilbride by the name of Whitewell and then in the possession of said John North, 240 acres more or less, Fartullagh, Westmeath, to hold to said John North heirs etc for the lives of Roger North of Dublin, Chas North, 3rd son of Roger then of Newcastle, Westmeath, and James McCabe of Bracklin, yearly rent £97 19s 6d, lease containing covenants for renewing the same forever on payment of a pepercorn fine for renewal on the fall of every life - and by the said first mentioned deed it is witnessed that the said John North and Roger North for and in consideration of £200 stg to them paid by the said Edward Mockler and Thos Bond did give grant an annuity for yearly rent charge of £20 chargeable on the lands – for & during the natural life of Robert Leland of the City of Dublin, cabinet maker, to be paid half yearly during the said Term every 13 Feb and Aug, signed John North, Roger North, Ed Mockler, Thos Bond, witnessed Wm Cormick, sadler, & Wm Aberneth [Abernethy?], farmer, both of Mullingar (EN email 14 Oct 2008). For another version of the 1757 deed, see 16.3.1.For more Mocklers see 15.6. James McCabe of Bracklin is almost certainly the brother of Bridget McCabe, wife of Joseph North of Bracklyn. Robert Leland, cabinet maker, was a son of the late Robert Leland, glass grinder and merchant, Deborah's father. A related deed appears to be 359 361 243805 also of 13 Aug 1772: it is lengthy and very faint but concerns the same people as deed 290 362 192544 plus Philip North (EN email 7 Sep 2008)

5a John North of Whitewell (16.3), b c1760 [or b c1750], d 21 May (SP1) 1836 or 1838 (23.7 - partly legible gravestone) aged 88 (SP1) [a 1750 date of birth does not sit well with his parents' marriage date: b c1760 seems more likely on that basis], m Sep 1786 Anne Bomford (16.3, SP1, ML) b c1764, alive in 1835 (23.7) d 19 Dec c1856 (from her birth date, not entirely legible gravestone and age at death) aged 92 (SP1) and had issue. Deed 1786 377 288 252340 is their marriage settlement. A codicil to the will of Anne's father, David Bomford, records that in 1807 John was suing for a fortune (19.6). Deed 1829 846 146 566646 of 3 Feb 1829 involved John North of Whitewell, John Roger North of Dublin, formerly of Whitewell, John's first son and heir of Whitewell, and as trustees, Isaac North of Ferrans, Co Meath [another of John's sons], Samuel Gerrard of Tallyho, Westmeath, & John Joshua Pim of Lower Gardiner St, Dublin, wine merchant. John North had in 1810 already demised to John Roger North lands of Whitewell known as Hopesfarm [for Hopesfarm see SP email 22 Feb 2009]. John wished to make provision for his three unmarried daughters, Deborah, Sophie and Jane North. By the terms of the deed, John Roger North agreed to pay the sum of £700 on the death of John North to be shared among the three daughters as set out in John's will, or otherwise equally among the surviving daughters, or their issue if none were alive, and if no issue then according to judgement; in return for which agreement, John agreed to pay John Roger an annuity of £25 out of the rents etc of Whitewell from the previous November until John's death, and gave John Roger right to enter and re-enter the land with powers of distress if the annuity was not paid. To secure the deal, John Roger signed a confession to judgement by which the trustees could obtain the £700, plus interest at 6% from the date of John's death and in default the penal sum of £1,400, less any amounts of unpaid annuity due to John Roger, and both John and John Roger granted the whole of Whitewell, 240 acres plantation, to the trustees for 1,000 years at a peppercorn rent [until and unless all obligations had been discharged] (EN email 27 Sep 2008, CN email 12 Feb 2009). Two years later, John was insolvent: deed 874 451 580951 is an Indenture of Lease dated 20 Aug 1831 concerning this John North. It was made between Godfrey Wills Berry of Tyrrellspass [this John's son in law], assignee of estate & effects of John North an Insolvent 1st part; and John North of Tyrrellspass 2nd part; & Arthur Grose of Whitewell 3rd part - that part of Whitewell in John's possession, 104 acres 2 roods 30 perches, and the house and offices thereon, was transferred to Arthur Grose for yearly rent of £208 per annum from 1st May during the natural life and lives of Eleanor North wife of John Roger North, Arthur Grose the lessee, and Arthur Gallagher Grose his only son, or 31 years etc (EN email 14 Sep 2008; CN emails 17 Feb & 15 Jun 2009)

6a John Roger North b c1787 (23.7), d before 1858 (23.7), attorney, m 1829 (ML) Eleanor Barbour or Eleanor Barber or Elleanor Barbour d 16 Dec 1858 (23.7) at Whitewell, and had issue (SP7; EN email 15 Mar 2008, citing 'copy of entries from family Bible presented to Mr John Roger North on 1 March 1830', more than one version of a family tree, some with annotations by Mr Goodwillie and others, and a memorium (copy of gravestone inscription?) from National Archives collection M5608; the Bible entries record several undated deaths and the dates of baptisms in St Georges Church; the date of the Bible entries is not known, but is after Charlotte married in 1865; the date of the family trees is not known, but they were prepared for the executors of the estate of Edith North Johnson, d 14 Nov 1938). Eleanor might be related to Robert Christopher Barbor whose estate was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in May 1857 (SP email 17 Jul 2008). The Kings Inns Admission Papers 1607 – 1867 (Irish Manuscripts Commission 1982: EN email 21 Sep 2009) record North, John, 1st son of John [North], [of] Whitewell, bond attorney T[rinity term] 1810. Deed 609 374 4219659 of 24 July 1809 between John North of Whitewell, Westmeath, gent and John Roger North of Whitewell, gent, 1st part & Edward Synge of Burden Park, Westmeath, other part - reciting that John North and John Roger North for consideration therein mentioned did demise grant set to farm to Ed Synge Cooper actual prop then being by virtue of a bargain and sale to him thereof by John North and John Roger North for one whole year bearing date the day before the date of this deed, made and provided to his heirs and assigns all that and those part of the town and lands of Whitewell then the prop of said Edward Synge Cooper situ lying between and being the the Barony of Fartullagh Westmeath, the whole 60 ac 2 r 35 p of land plant measure from 1 Nov for the lives therein mentioned at a yearly rent (EN email 4 Mar 2009). Dublin directories from 1834 to 1847 record John Roger North at 2 Hutton's Lane; from 1841 to 1844 at Drumcondra Road in suburban Dublin; in 1846 at 5 Drumcondra Hill; as an attorney at 1 Portland St in 1847 and 1848; and from 1848 to 1850 at Osborne Tce, Dalkey (EN email 8 Feb 2010). In 1843 by deed 1843 15 215 (CN emails 10 Aug & 4 Sep 2009) Arthur Grose conveyed to David North of Mecklenburgh St in the city of Dublin esq, with the permission of John Roger North of Drumcondra, Dublin, the remainder of the term of a lease for 31 years or for lives of 104 ac 2 rd 30 pch plantation measure of Whitewell, formerly in the possession of John North deceased, in return for Arthur's payment of £180/16/3 and Arthur's release from all debts on or in relation to the land 'from the begining of the world to the date of said indenture'. This sounds like Arthur was in debt to John Roger North, and gave the lease back with a payment in return for release from and discharge of the debt. It is not clear why the land was conveyed to David North rather than to John Roger North; the David that got the land was probably John Roger's brother David, as John Roger's son David was only 6 and unlikely to have been 'of Mecklenburgh St'. The deed refers to other agreements dated 20 Aug 1821, 29 Dec 1837 and 15 Sep 1843, which remain on foot except in so far as they relate to the disability of Arthur Grose. In 1847, by deed 1847 14 55, John Roger leased for lives or 31 years the dwelling house, offices and demesne lands of Whitewell containing 100 acres Irish plantation measure, late in the possession of Edward Danial Duffy, to John George Battersby, MD, of Milltown, Co Westmeath, 'all mines minerals and royalties of what nature or kind soever' excepted, for £201 a year (EN email 1 Feb 2009; CN email 28 Aug 2009). The deed outlines other parts of Whitewell at that time, including W Cooper’s holding of Whitewell on the north, Nancy Egan’s holding of Whitewell to the east, and the said Roger North’s tenants holding of the lower part of Whitewell to the south

John may have lived at Whitewell, as least up until 1859. Deed 1859 37 180 records a lease for lives or 31 years, at a rent of £201 pa, of the 'dwelling house, office and demensne' of Whitewell, 100 acres plantation [162 statute], from John North of Whitewell (presumably this John, following the death of his father) to Laurence and Michael Gavan (this house and land had previously been leased by John's father to George Battersby in 1847: deed 1847 14 55). The 1859 deed outlines the other parts of Whitewell at that time, including Mrs Cooper’s holding of Whitewell to the north, Nancy Egan’s building of Whitewell to the east, and John and his tenants' land in the 'town part' of Whitewell to the south. Deed 1875 2 50 of 5 Jan 1875 looks like a renewal of the Cooper lease: between John North of Bushfield Ave, Donnybrook, Dublin; and Colonel Joshua Harry Cooper of Duboden, Westmeath - reciting lease/deed of 24 Feb 1809 in which John North and John Roger North demised unto Edward Synge Cooper and his heirs --- he the said John North did thereby grant unto said J H Cooper, his heirs etc all that part of towns and lands of Whitewell --- North hunting rights --- Cooper to pay rent £127 (EN email 11 Feb 2009). From the 1860s at least, John lived in Donnybrook, Dublin: Thoms records a John North at 16 Upper Rutland St from 1862 to 1872; he may have been 'a bit of a property developer' (EN emails 8 Mar 2008). Deed 1870 14 85 of 10 May 1870 concerns John North, Susannah North otherwise Clarke of Bushfield Ave, Annie Clarke, Garden Tce, Rathgar, spinster; the said John North & Thomas Goodwillie of 28 Bellgrave Sq South, Rathmines ... lease of 25 Aug 1868 part of land at Brighton Sq belonging to Susannah and Annie (EN email 27 Sep 2008).

These two deeds seem to follow the death of the senior brother, 7a John North d 1902, and Whitewell has passed to Henry H North, as the senior male in the male line of descent. The 1904 deed looks as if it was in settlement of a dispute with the Council, but it looks as if some, at least, of Whitewell continued to be held by Henry Herbert North's solicitor for Henry's use.

6b David North b c1787 (23.7) or c1794 (SP6) d 22 Mar 1863 (his will: 23.7.1) at Farview, also known as Fairview (23.7.1), aged 69 (from gravestone at Dunboden: SP6), Captain in the Navy (23.7) (confirmed in David Bomford North's Trinity record below, though not found in Navy lists in Belfast Library: EN email 7 Dec 2009), m 1816 (ML) Catherine Pim, b c1787 (23.7), d 10 Aug 1869 at Farview aged 82 (SP6), daughter of Robert Pim and Elizabeth Palmer (SP6) of Banaughra (or Bannarighara or Banaughara or Banaughera), Queens Co (deed 1844 11 235; also his will, which names children Robert Pim, Joseph Pim, John Pim, Catherine Pim, Sarah Pim, Mary Pim and Alice Goodbody: EN email 15 Mar 2009), and had issue (23.7.3). 23.7 says David was a retired Navy Captain, probably by the time he married: that and the date of birth of his wife (c1787) point to him being born c1787 rather than c1794, so he was c29 rather than c22 when he married. Deed 705 542/3 483478 of 1816-1818 (in deed 857 281 572281 referred to as 'Articles of 22 Aug 1816'), is a marriage settlement for David North and Catherine Pim (extract below), and deed 857 281 572281 of 30 Mar 1830 is a variation of it. David left a will (23.7.1) dated 16 Nov 1860 in which he all but disinherited, to the extent that he was able given existing entails on some his lands, his first born son, Isaac, leaving him one shilling. On 17 May 1821 David bought from Richard Molesworth Reynell some 61 acres plantation measure of 'lands of the west' (not named) next to Oldtown and Castlelost. That arrangement was renewed on 8 Oct 1842, and on 6 Aug 1845 the land was settled on his second son, John Roger North (all in deed 1845 13 39). Deed 769 240 521575 of 9 Feb 1822 refers to David North, Catherine Pim his wife, and John Pim and Anthony Cooper the trustees of their marriage settlement, regarding cash advances made to David North from Catherine Pim's entitlements under the marriage settlement of 2 Aug 1816 to enable David North to build a house on Oldtown, and to transfer the security held there fore from the lands of Banaughera (which was owned by John Pim) to the lands of Tinekelly and Clonfree (leased by David North), and, as David North had been unable to secure renewal of the leases to those properties, further transfer the security to Oldtown, 61 acres, part of the lands of the West for which David North had a lease renewable in perpetuity; and the release of the trustees from any liability there fore. Deed 1842 3 94 between David North of Fairview, and John Wilkinson of Monasterevan, Co Kildare, is a deed of lease of 61 acres at Fairview (EN email 1 Feb 2009). Not clear whether this might be the same 61 acres as the 61 acres known as Oldtown in the preceeding lease. Catherine inherited £400 from her parents (deed 1844 11 235 of 11 July 1844: EN email 1 Feb 2009). Deed 1848 13 144 of 24 Mar 1848 records that David North of Russell Place, Dublin, sold to John Burke of Upr Bridge St, Dublin, grocer and spirit merchant, lands of Clonfree, Parish of Loughkeen or Lougheen, Barony of Lr Ormonde, Co Tipperary, then in the possession and occupation of Catherine Burke or her undertenants containing 83 ac 1 rd 5pch, on the same terms as the land was held under a lease of 23 Feb 1791 from Henry Hempson of the city of Dublin esquire to Roger North of Birr in the King’s county, gentleman (CN email 1 Mar 2009; EN email 1 Feb 2009). David inherited Clonfree, along with Upper and Lower Tinnikelly,from his Uncle Roger.  He inherited Tyrrellstown from his uncle Isaac Bomford. In 1851 Tyrrellstown was transferred by David North and his son Isaac, 'according to their respective estates and interests', to John Roger North in trust (deed 1851 24 17; 23.7.2): the deed was witnessed by two solicitors and may be a transaction brought on by Isaac's financial problems. Tyrrellstown was entailed, so neither David nor Isaac could deal with it in their own right. David North is listed in Dublin directories at 11 Mecklenburg St from 1844 to 1846; deed 1845 13 39 describes him as of Russell Place; from 1846 to 1851 Dublin directories also list David North at 4 Russell Place (EN email 8 Feb 2010); his son, John Roger Pim North also was of 11 Mecklenburg St in 1845. Information below on David's descendents is from 23.7.3 unless noted otherwise

7a Isaac Bomford North, b c1818 (or possibly 1828), d 17 May 1886 at Rutherglen, Victoria, Australia, m 3 Apr 1861 in Rutherglen (23.7.3) [or m 1857 (SP6)] Sarah Sexton and had issue. Isaac got into financial difficulties in 1851 (23.7.1), from which he was rescued, at considerable expense, by his father. An Isaac North was at 36 Amiens St from 1848 to 1851 (Dublin directories: EN email 8 Feb 2010). His father's will (23.7.1) of 16 Nov 1860 disinherited Isaac to the extent that he could be disinherited, but it appers that Isaac still inherited a number of properties that were entailed to the male line, including Tyrrellstown. Isaac moved to Rutherglen, perhaps in 1852 though he appears to have been in Ireland in 1854 when he resigned as co-trustee (with Robert Mulock) from three North and Emerson trusts and was replaced by John Emerson (deed 1854 15 260). By deed 1878 38 32 dated 24 Jun 1878, Isaac Bomford North of Rutherglen took out a £350 mortgage at 5% pa with the Royal Bank of Ireland over his life interests in Tyrrellstown, 214 ac 2 rd 16 pch (CN email 18 Jul 2009)

8a Isaac Bomford North, b 22 Jun 1861 at Hibernian Lead, Rutherglen, Victoria and later moved to Sydney, m 1882 Mary Masterfield. In 1887, Isaac [must be the son, as his father died in 1886], still of Victoria, granted 214 acres at Tyrrellstown, Moyleskey, Fartullagh and anything else, to Sweeney, solicitor, Dublin (deed 1887 33 62: SP email 9 Dec 2007), presumably so Sweeny could deal in the land as Isaac's trustee. On 20 Dec 1893 (deed 1893 30 106: EN email 8 Dec 2007; CN email 18 Jul 2009) Isaac, then of Ultimo, Sydney, NSW, gentleman, conveyed Tyrrellstown, 208 ac 2 rd 26 pch (detailed in a schedule), 'to which he was entitled to under the will of his late grandfather David North', to Henry and Frances Cherry Willis as security for a loan of £70. By deed 1897 56 211 of 2 Apr 1896, Isaac Bomford North, contractor of Sydney, NSW, sold to Alfred Henry Collier also of Sydney, a £700 mortgage over Tyrrellstown 208 acres held by Henry Willis under an indenture dated 15 Oct 1894, for £538 (CN email 20 Jul 2009). The deed includes a schedule which lists the various holding within Tyrrellstown - farmlands, house and office all leased to Rob McCall and house on 3 acres leased to William Henry Cole. The schedule differs in detail from that included with an earlier deed, 1893 30 106. That appears to be the end the family's ownership of Tyrrellstown, which had been in Bomford/North hands since 1724 (4.1)

He was Secretary to the Royal Bank of Ireland (in his daughter Constance's 1857 baptism record, he was a cashier at the Royal Bank). Elizabeth Emerson was a daughter of Horatio Emerson (23.2.1) and Emily Mulock (15.1.2); Emily's mother was Emily Frances Wetherall (15.1.2) (possibly Wetherelt or Wetherell). She is referred to in relation to his will, in the National Archives, Dublin, as Elizabeth Wetherall North (also spelt Wetherelt (EN email 3 Apr 2008)), widow and one of the executors (EN email 15 Mar 2008). There is a record of Elizabeth Wetherelt North dying in Devon, England, b c1825, d 1885 (SP email 19 Apr 2008). Deed 1845 13 39 of 6 Aug 1845 is their marriage settlement. John Roger is of Great Charles St, Dublin. Elizabeth is described as Elizabeth Emerson of Charlemont Mall, spinster, daughter of Emily Emerson and Horatio Emerson late of Dublin esq deceased. Trustees are Robert Mulock of Charlemont St Dublin and Isaac Bomford North of Russell Place Dublin. Others mentioned include Emily Emerson of Charlemont Mall (Elizabeth's mother), John Emerson of Charlemont Mall, only son of Horatio and Emily Emerson and the brother of Elizabeth Emerson, David North of Russell Place, Dublin (John Roger's father), and Catherine North wife of said David North. Dublin directories list John North at 6 Great Charles St in 1846 and 1847 (EN email 8 Feb 2010). Deed 1846 10 121 of 8 May 1845 is a conveyance between John Roger Pim North of 11 Mecklenburg St, Dublin, and Wm Slattery of 44 Lr Ormonde Quay, Dublin. By her will of 11 Oct 1840, Elizabeth Pim, widow [i.e. Elizabeth Palmer, John Roger's grandmother], bequeathed to her grandson 11 Mecklenburg St, otherwise St Martins Lane; now for an undisclosed consideration John Roger Pim North conveys the premises to William Slattery with a covenent for renewal forever (EN email 1 Feb 2009; CN email 2 Apr 2010). Deed 1848 5 17 of 28 Feb 1848 is a deed poll (i.e. a declaration by a single party) by John Roger Pim North of Great Charles St, Dublin. It recites that by an indenture dated 11 Jul 1845 Thomas Spunner Palmer, MD, of Lr Gardner St, Dublin, in consideration of £730 paid to him by John Roger Pim North made over to John Roger Pim North an annuity of £349/3/9 and a principal sum of £2,750 until the £730 was repaid with interest. The £730 having been repaid, John Roger Pim North releases Thomas Spunner Palmer from all claims (EN email 1 Feb 2009; CN email 9 Apr 2010). The deed was witnessed by John Emerson, solicitor, of 17 Merchants Quay. Deed 1853 26 28 of 16 Aug 1853 concerns John Roger North of Clarinde Ave, Dublin and Wm Moyess of Fortfield, Co Dublin, re a plot of land at Carrig Ave, Parish Monkstown, yearly rent £4 (EN Email 16 Oct 2008). Deed 1854 8 123 of 7 Oct 1853: John Roger North of Corrig Ave, Kingstown, Dublin, 1st part; Emily Emerson of the same place, other part - Roger North demised to Emily Emerson a plot of land east side Corrig Ave; witnesses John Emerson, Elizabeth North (EN Email 16 Oct 2008). Corrig Ave and Carrig Ave are the same place, at Kingstown, Parish of Monkstown (EN email 12 Apr 2009). This looks like John Roger demising a house, or at least some land for a house, to his mother in law, Emily Emerson. John Roger North and Elizabeth Emerson are mentioned in deed 1854 15 260 along with other members of their families

8a Colonel David North, of Fairview House or Farview House, Rochfortbridge (deed 1905 12 87), and of the Royal Artillery, b c1846 (aged 64 in the 1911 UK census: SP email 1 Jun 2012), d 1915 at Cheltenham, Gloucestershire (SP email 28 Nov 2007), m 2 Dec 1886 at Halifax, Nova Scotia (Family Search), Margaret Richey (1871 Canadian census) or Mrs Margaret Richey Jack, or Margaret S L Jack, b 18 Apr 1855 in Halifax, d 19 Mar 1944, daughter of Matt Henry Richey and Sarah L Richey, previously married to Lenox Albert Jack, d 9 Feb 1883, with whom she had had issue (Burke's Colonial Gentry, p 119, 'Richey of Halifax': CN email 6 Jun 2012), and had issue. The 1901 Irish census records the family aged 54, 45 and 10 living at Castlelost, Tyrrellspass. The Calendar of Wills in the National Archives records in 1916 David North, Fairview, Hatherley Rd, Cheltenham, Lt Col RA rtd, d 17 Dec 1915, [probate granted] to Margaret North, widow, effects in Ireland £371 (EN email 15 Jul 2009). By deed 1896 35 83 of 13 May 1896, David was granted a loan of £75 under the Landed Property Improvement (Ireland) Act 1847 for execution of approved improvements to land at Castlelost West, Fairview (CN emails 20 Jul & 8 Sep 2009). In 1905 (deed 1905 12 87: SP email 9 Dec 2007; EN email 15 Jul 2009) he, with David North Trotter of Summerhill, Enfield, executed an indenture of disentail over several parcels of land including 61 acres plantation in Fartullagh, Co Westmeath, reciting the 6 Aug 1845 marriage settlement of his parents John Roger North and Elizabeth Emerson (deed 1845 13 39) and reciting the deaths of David North the elder [this David's grandfather], Catherine North [grandmother], John Roger North [father], Elizabeth Emerson [mother] and Emily Emerson [maternal grandmother] [people entitled to the land under the marriage settlement before the entail took over],and conveyed the disentailed land to [his cousin, below] David North Trotter, but 'to the use of the sd David North the younger [i.e. Col David North] his heirs and assigns forever'. It is not clear that David North Trotter got the land under this agreement (most likely he was only a trustee, for legal purposes): in 1906 (deed 1906 49 288: EN email 8 Dec 2007) Col David North sold 61 ac 1 rd 5 pch plantation in Fartullagh, Co Westmeath, to Patrick Gavin for £815 under the 1903 Land Act: the un-named parcel of land from the 1845 marriage settlement. Patrick's son, Michael Gavin, owned Whitewell House in 2006 (SP email 11 Jul 2008 - see also deed 1859 37 180. Michael's brother Noel says Whitewell came to his family because of the financial problems of 6a John Roger North the lawyer and his father leased and bought it as it became available - SP email 3 Nov 2013). In the 1911 UK census the Norths were living at Farview, Hathersley Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in a 10 roomed house with two servants (SP emails 22 Jan 2009, 1 Jun 2012). The will of Margaret Sarah Louisa North, of Rainors(?) St Georges Rd, Cheltenham, Gloucester, widow, formerly of Marryott, Holmeadsale Road, South Nutfield, Redhill, Surrey, records 'my grandchildren' Constance Jack, Cyril Jack, Moya Jack and Margaret Matheson. The will states 'property in Canada which I own if my brother shall predecease me ... I give to my son Ernest Lenox Richey Jack'. The will was dated 19 Feb 1940 and indicates Margaret Sarah Louisa North died on 19 Mar 1944. Probate was dated 10 Jun 1944 (EN email 27 Nov 2007). On the basis of the census and that will, her children (Ernest Lenox Richey Jack was a son from her first marriage) were:

9a Ernest Lenox Richey Jack, who had issue. There is an E L Jack b Jun 1877 recorded in the 1911 Canadian census in New Brunswick, with wife E T Jack b Feb 1876, son L Jack b Dec 1904 and daughter M M Jack b Sep 1906: ages look good (Ernest should have been born between about 1875 when his mother was aged 20 and 1886 when she remarried), but not a convincing match. E L Jack of the 1911 census may be the Earnest Jack, boarder, b 25 Jun 1877 in Nova Scotia, recorded in the 1901 census: same birth date, same birth place (perhaps), same religion

10a Constance Jack

10b Cyril Jack

Thoms 1868 lists him as LRCSI (Licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland) of Milltown. Thoms 1869 directory lists David B North, Med Practioner, Milltown, Westmeath. On 17 May 1870, Rev. R. Dowse, Rector, in the Chair, the following resolution was proposed by John R Somers and seconded by Doctor North and unanimously carried: "That we the parishioners of Clonfadforan Parish in Vestry assembled, desire not only to censure a certain pamphlet entitled Short Prayers but also to express our unqualified disapproval of the use of [sauce/source??] and our condemnation of the conduct of his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin with reference thereto. We also deem it absolutely necessary for the future welfare of our Church of Ireland that all who hold unscriptural doctrines as the Archbishop of Dublin should hencefort cease to have a voice in the convention of our Church."

In Aughrim  COI churchyard there is a headstone which reads 'Sacred to the memory of Maria Jane wife of Horatio N Wallace Esq JP of Sandy Cove, Kingstown, Co Dublin, and third daughter of the late Samuel Wesley Handy Esq of Bracca Castle [Brackagh Castle], Co Westmeath, who departed this life on the 21 Day of November 1864, aged 76 years. Erected by her husband' (EN email 4 Jun 2008). That Maria Jane Handy (m Wallace) was the aunt of the Maria Jane Handy m John Richard Somers (CN email 3 Mar 2009). H G Hart's Army List for 1862 says Joseph Pim North was of the 3rd Kings own Regiment of Hussars, had 10 years service on full pay, Cornet Oct 1852, Lieutenant Feb 1855, Adjutant Nov 1855 and Hon Captain Feb 1861 (EN email 17 May 2008; 14 Mar 2010). They lived at Ashmount House, before they purchased Moyally (EN email 23 Jun 2009). Deed 1867 10 12 is their marriage settlement. It conveys land of Ballinderry Big, Barony of Moycashel, Westmeath, from John Richard Somers to Samuel Handy Somers and David Bomford North in trust. It recites two deeds of 10 Dec 1853 by which John Richard Somers bought two parcels of Ballinderry Big (one of ~407 acres, the other of ~56 acres) from the Commissioners for the sale of Incumbered Estates. The land was subsequently mortgaged: deed 1905 79 24 recites a 'mortgage dated 22nd June 1866 and made between John Richard Somers of the one part and Thomas Arthur and William John Slade Foster on the other part for receiving the sum of £3,000 and interest and subject to the proviso for the redemption'; and the deed itself concerns a mortgage of 7 ninths of the properties for £700 by 6 of the 7 then living children in 1905. Deed 1870 11 270 of 25 Mar 1870 concerns a reconveyance of a mortgage dated 12 Jul 1867 in the sum of £5,000 by John Malone of Baronstown, Westmeath (for whom it looks as if William Gibson was a trustee in whom the lands were vested), naming a long list of lands in Westmeath [none familiar - 'the Baronstown Estate'], from Joseph Pim North (£4,000) and Flora Harriett Sadlier (£1000), wife of Rev Francis Ralph Sadlier, 11 Radnor[?] Place, Hyde Park, London to Thomas Tighe Mecredy, solicitor of Dublin. This feels like it was a purely financial investment where Joseph Pim parked £4,000 for three years (EN email 21 Nov 2007; CN emails 14 & 16 Oct 2009). Deed 1869 24 218 records an assignment of lease on 7 Jul 1869 by Joseph Pim North to Richard Thomas Welch, Monkstown Park, Monkstown, Dublin, of a lease for 900 years of lands of Kilmore called Larch Hill in the Barony of Coolock, Co Dublin, 17 acres statute measure plus dwelling and coachhouse, that Joseph Pim North had leased from James Her on 11 Jun 1867 for £100 (EN email 21 Nov 2007; CN email 8 Apr 2009). In deed 1870 Book 37 No 155 Roger North of Tyrrellspass transfers his rent (£95 pa under a lease of 25 Apr 1865 [? should 25 Apr 1865 be 25 Apr 1805, i.e. deed 582 258 393193?]) from part of the lands of Kilbride known as East Division, and all his estate and interest whatsoever in Kilbride and Tonlegee, Barony of Fartullagh, Westmeath, to Joseph Pim North and David Bomford North, MD, 'out of natural love and affection' and in return for an annuity of £87.13.10 payable for the remainder of his life (EN email 21 Nov 2007). Deed 1875 54 299 brings together two interests in the East Division of Kilbride (91 acres, 3 roods, 3 perches) - those of Joseph North and Joseph Pim North (lessors), and those of Mary Elizabeth North and William Pilkington (lessees) - placing the land into William Pilkington's hands subject to payment of fee farm rent to Joseph Pim North (EN email 21 Nov 2007; CN email 17 Feb 2009). Landowners of Ireland 1876 records that Joseph Pim North of Moyally owned 463 acres in Westmeath and 235 acres in Kings Co. Deed 1886 30 146 records a sale of 334 acres of lands (named) in Moycashel, Co Westmeath, from John Richard Somers of Dublin to Samuel Handy Somers of Tyrrellspass House for £3,840. The Irish Land Commission was involved, as was Joseph Pim North as a trustee (SP email 9 Dec 2007). Deed 1902 33 127 is a memorial of a deed poll by David Trotter MD of Summerhill Co Meath and David North of Fairview, Lt Col in Her Majesty's Army, surviving executors of the will of Joseph Pim North, making legal arrangements for the future management of Moyally and Tober on the one hand, the the 'rest, residue and remainder' of the estate on the other. Unfortunately, the memorial does not tell us what the arrangements were, but Moyally ended up with the son Joseph Roger North, so presumably Tober did too. The remainder seems to have been split equally between the children (as evidenced by the shares in Ballinderry Big)

Named in deed 1905 79 24. Made it clear he did not want to farm Moyally (CN email 21 Apr 2009), but inherited it anyway. At one stage around 1896 he thought of emigrating to Canada, but the family thought he wasn't strong enough for the work, they didn't have the cash for the voyage, and that it would be better that he stay in Ireland to look after his sisters at Moyally (CN email 7 Feb 2010)

After the marriage they moved to London, where Emily joined them as nanny to their children. The family was supposed to emigrate to Canada on the Titanic but delayed their departure because their eldest son caught scarlet fever. They sailed to Quebec in May 1912, and appear to have been estranged from Nellie's family from that time. De Belle descendents in Montreal have a record of Nellie and Charles hiring lawyers in relation to her inheritance(CN emails 21 & 23 Mar 2009)

A Richard North aged 33 was buried on 21 Feb 1907 (Parish of Newtownfartullagh records, COI library, Churchtown: EN email 29 Mar 2009): this is almost certainly the same Richard, so one of the dates is a year out.

Florence was living at Moyally in the 1901 census, but by the 1911 census was no longer there and was probably in an institution for the metally ill in Dublin (CN email 19 Mar 2009). Named in deed 1905 79 24. On the internet, in the 1911 census for Dublin, district of Arran Quay, Richmond Women's Asylum, there is a list of all the patients, initials only: "N, FI", aged 30, is Florence, though in April 1911 she would have been 32.

8a premature son born & died on 30 Jun 1855, at Forkhill

8b David North Trotter, b 24 May 1856 at Forkhill, d 16 Mar 1912 [or 17 Mar 1912 (SP6)]. Never married, buried at Agher. Cricketer. Described in deed 1905 12 87 as 'of Summerhill, Enfield, Co Meath'. That deed unentailed and conveyed to David a number of properties, totalling 61 acres plantation, which had been subject to the marriage settlement of David's uncle and aunt, John Roger North and Elizabeth Emerson, plus Clonkeen otherwise Castletown otherwise Swangs of Kellypatrick, 78 acres, formerly held by Elizabeth Mulock, all of which had been in the possession of Col David North of Fairview, David's cousin, 'to the use of the sd David North the younger his heirs and assigns forever'. While it might look as if David North Trotter is getting the lands, it seems that in fact he was just a conduit and David North was getting the lands for himself and his heirs, free of the entail. As David North had no natural male children, but had stepson and a daughter, the motive for disentailing the land is fairly clear

8c Kate Maria Trotter [or Kate Marie Trotter (SP6)], b 11 Jan 1858, d 9 Apr 1871, buried at Agher.

8d William John Trotter, RAMC, b 24 Dec 1859, d 7 Nov 1921, buried at Agher. William is noted as the son present on both his parents' death certificates. He m Flora Jeanette Boyd and had 4 children, two of whom died young. The other two were:

9a Daisy Maria Trotter, b 23 Feb 1896, Sitapur, India

9b David William Trotter, b 30 Jan 1900, Bareilly, India

8e Rev John Theobald Trotter, b c1861, d 16 Apr 1935. Never married. Church of Ireland clergyman, Precentor of Leighlin Cathedral and 40 years Rector of Cloydah & Bilbo, near Carlow. Buried Cloydah

9a Olive Ina Constance Swan who married Dr Wilfred Alexander Steen in 1914 (Pat Steen email 3 Sep 2008)

7f Roger Robert North. Deed 1835 Book 19 No 20 records Roger Robert North as the youngest son of David North of Fairview. A Roger Robert North, b c1828, d 26 May 1888 in Winchester, Hampshire, UK, aged 60, army pensioner and prison warder and had a daughter Mary North (death certificate: SP email 5 May 2008), is probably this Roger Robert North. A Robert North is listed in Thoms 1875 under officers of government as a Clerk of Petty Sessions, Kilashandra, Co Cavan - may well be no relation (EN email 12 Sep 2010)

8a ? David North. The Roger Robert North who died in 1888 in Hampshire 'said he was from Ireland and ... had a son David' (SP email 22 Mar 2008)

8b Mary North, of 2 Primrose Cottages, Winchester (present at her father's death)

7g (possibly) William North or William Northe (SP email 17 Jul 2010), b c1821, d 27 Nov 1902 , m 29 Nov 1860 Elizabeth Keogh of Rahanine, Castlelost (SP email 5 Feb 2008), b Apr 1839, d 22 Oct 1918, and had issue (23.7.3; SP email 27 Oct 2015). William was a shoe and boot maker (SP email 23 Aug 2011). Possibly this William fits here and is a natural son of David North. Noel Gavin has suggested to Sheila Perino (SP email 3 Nov 2013) that William was a son of 6a John Roger North, the lawyer, rather than of 6b David, but says he was definitely from the Bomford/North line. An alternative hypothesis is that William came from Newport, near Limerick, Co Tipperary, was the son of Joseph Hickman North and his wife Jane of Newport, and moved to live with North 'cousins' in Westmeath (not necessarily David North) when his parents died in 1840 and 1849 respectively (SP email 9 Jan 2009, attaching suggestion from Lorcan Mulligan based on Newport parish records). The hypothesis is supported by the naming of William's children, which reflects the naming of Joseph and Jane's other children as recorded in parish records: James, Mary, Joseph & Elizabeth, and would provide an alternative explanation as to why William is not mentioned in David's will (see also 23.7.3). DNA evidence from living descendents appears to link this William biologically to this family (i.e. that William and 7d Joseph Pim North are brothers) (SP email 22 Mar 2020). There is another deed, 1839 23 86, which records the children (presumably, children then living, so Joseph jnr may have died) of Hickman North of Ballinas, Co Tipperary, and Jane his wife as James, Mary, Elizth, Ellen, William, Jane, and Martha. Joseph Hickman North's children may have all emigrated to London, Ontario, in 1855 (SP email 14 Jan 2009). Noel Gavin says that after the Norths left Whitewell, they lived in an area of Gibbonstown known as the 'the Park' and they were knowns as 'the Norths of the Park' (SP email 3 Nov 2013). Deed 1909 28 61 of 10 Mar 1909 Land Registration - memorial of registration pursuant to the 19th Section of the Local Registration of Title (Ireland) Act 1891 of part of the land of Gibbonstown containing 0ac 3r 5p or thereabouts, statute measure, situated in the Barony of Fartullagh, Co Wmeath, and held in fee simple - entered on folio No 2142 of the Register of Ownership - Elizabeth North of Gibbonstown, Rockfort Bridge, farmer, is the owner of the foregoing property subject as in said folio set forth (EN email 2 Mar 2009). The Calendar of Wills in the National Archives records 1919 Elizabeth North, Gibbonstown, Rochfortbridge, widow, 3rd January (no other details: EN email 15 Jul 2009) - that may have been registration of her will after she died. Gibbonstown adjoins Whitewell, a North property until the early 1900s

In 1837 he changed his name to Isaac North-Bomford (27.1). Belinda was the daughter by an earlier marriage of Abraham John Pilkington who subsequently married Mary Elizabeth North of Kilbride

7a (possibly) Cath North, baptised 8 Dec 1823 (Parish Registers, Dublin, National Library of Ireland, cited by ancestry.com: SP email 9 Jun 2012), daughter of Cath Nally and Isaac North. The Catholic baptism was witnessed by Philip Shelly and Anne Molloy in the Parish of Rochfortbridge in Meath. There are no other details and no other records of Cath North or Cath Nally have been found. (RootsIreland records the baptism slightly differently: Catherine North, dau of Catherine Nally, father 'not recorded North', sole sponsor Mary Fattrell. Possibly that reflects an attempt to alter or hide the record.) It seems likely that this Isaac was in that area at that time, and no other Isaac Norths are known from the area at the time, so there seems a reasonable chance that Cath North is this Isaac's daughter

"The Rev Dr Tithe Gregory, Rector of Kilmore, County Meath, endeavoured to make the labouring poor of his parish spend a happy Christmas, in having an OX killed at his own expense! and cut up in five pound pieces, which were distributed on Christmas Eve (Saturday) to 55 families, consisting of 176 people. The previous (Friday!!) he entertained all the respectable farmers of his parish, of all religious denominations (Roman Catholics inclusive) at dinner, and gave them a haunch of venison (neither fish nor soup maigre for the fasters) and they drank the health of the Marquess of Anglesey--and a long vice-royalty in a bumper" (The Ballyshannon Herald, and Donegal Advertiser, printed 6 January 1832, transcribed by & © Alison Kilpatrick). See also Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837: "Here is a school for all denominations, superintended and entirely supported by the rector, Dr Tighe Gregory, and containing about 30 children. A dispensary, Dorcas institution, repository, and poor shop, have been founded by Dr Gregory, who intends to erect dwellings for destitute widows and orphans."In 1839 he was appointed one of the two personal chaplins to the Lord Lieut of Ireland (1839 Gentleman's Magazine) and he had a brother Col. Gregory of the 44th regiment (SP email 9 Jul 2008). A report on his burial in the Longford Journal of 27 Nov 1858 states, "The Rev Dr Gregory died on the 14th inst at Paget Priory in his sixty seventh year, having been twenty six years rector of Kilmore, and chaplain to the Marquis of Anglesea and other successive Lords Lieutenant of Ireland."

6e Deborah North of Tyrrellspass, m Roger North of Cappa, Galway (SP5). This is based on a marriage settlement (deed 1839 15 189: EN email 10 Mar 2008) dated 7 Aug 1839 between Roger North, Cappa, Co Galway & Deborah North of Tyrrellspass, Co Westmeath, second daughter of John North, deceased. Her father John North died in 1836 or 1838, and it appears from the Oswego letters that he may have opposed her marriage to Roger: 'I will begin with Roger’s marriage - you may recollect when you were going that it had been broken off a short time previous, after his father’s death he went to Co Westmeath and all obstacles being removed by the death of her father she listened to his proposal and they were married last August they have been residing at Cappa since then.' John's mother (Deborah's grandmother) was Deborah Leland, and this Deborah is presumed to have been named after her. Deborah is named as one of John's unmarried daughters in deed 846 146 566646 of 1829. Deborah North m Roger North in 1839 (Meath marriage bond in National Archive, EN email 19 Apr 2008). Roger North of Cappa is in the tree as 5c ? Roger North, b c1792, d 10 May 1876, a widower. Under the marriage settlement (1839 15 189), Roger puts in trust for Deborah and Roger a half part or moiety of 'the lower lands of' Kilbride and Tonlegee. The other half part or moiety of Kilbride and Tonlegee was held by Roger's uncle, Roger North of Kilbride and his heirs, as demised in the will of William of Kilbride. It is not known if there were any 'upper' lands of Kilbride - possibly Whitewell?

Sarah F North & G W Berry, marriage bond, 1823, Meath (CPR 1922 WW43). Deed 783 102 529837 of 7 June 1823 is their marriage settlement; it includes John North of Whitewell, David North of Fairview & James Bagnall of Firbane, Kings Co. G W Berry inherited from his grandfather, Thomas Berry, Egles Castle, Kings Co, perpetual rent (£50 pa) on lands Loughnagore, Sephanna? and Colehill, Westmeath, and John North agreed to the sum of £400 as marriage portion: those are put into trust for Godfrey, Sarah and their issue; witnessed by John Roger North & Isaac North of Whitewell, 'gent aged twenty years and upwards' (EN email 27 Sep 2008; CN email 5 May 2009)

5b ? Roger North of Birr, d before 1816, perhaps before 1797 (deed 1797 510 529 333150 - see possible daughter Margaret below). Birr is otherwise known as Parsonstown (EN email 23 Jun 2009). There is a deed dated 1816 – 1818, number 705 542/3 483478, the marriage settlement for David North and Catherine Pim. It states, in part, as best can be transcribed (CN email 11 Mar 2008; EN emails 23 May 2008):

.. a marriage was there intended by God’s permission to be had and solemnized between the said David North & the sd Cathr Pimrecitg that the sd David was seized and possessed of thetown & lands of Upper and Lower Tinnikelly contg 235a 2r 2p plantation measure situate in the Barony of Lower Ormond & Coy ofTipperary, under & by virtue of a lease bearing date the 2 day of Augs 1784 & … the residues of the tenant interest have been vested in said same David North under & by virtue of the will of Roger North his uncle and the same David North was also seized under & by virtue of said will of the lands of Clonfree contg 83 acres 1 rood & 5 perches situate in the Parish of ….

From this it appears that David North had an uncle Roger North, and that is the basis for this entry. Note that David wasn't born until about 1794, and this deed suggests Uncle Roger mentioned David in his will, so Roger may have lived well into the 1800s. Roger aquired Clonfree in 1791 (deed 1791 343 211 235759, CN email 24 Jul 2009: Roger aquired Clonfree 83 ac 1 rd 5 pch then in the possession of the widow Burke's undertenants, from Henry E Thompson of Dublin on 23 Feb 1791 for the life or lives of Joseph North son of Joseph North of Northbrook Co Galway [as far as we know, Joseph jr was the nephew of Joseph of Northbrook], John North son of Jn North of Whitewell Co Westmeath & John Wetherall Thompson or for thirty one years at a rent of £32/2/6 pa) and David subsequently sold it (deed 1848 13 144 of Jul 1848). Henry Thompson of Dublin also seems to have bought Tinnekelly (Tinnikilly, Tinnakilly), among other properties, from Richard Armstrong and Thomas Mitchell, merchants of Dublin, on 10 Mar 1788: deed 1788 391 293 26142, CN email 24 Jul 2009). There is another Roger in the deeds, and it may be this Roger's son, though it is not clear why Uncle Roger would have willed rents, residues and lands to his nephew David North if he had a son Roger North; nor is there any evidence that Roger married (except for a possible daughter, below). So for now the younger Roger has been placed as a brother of Joseph North of Cappa, who named a Roger North as the executor of his will. Uncle Roger may be the Roger in another deed: in deed 425 55 275840 of 20 Apr 1786, an indented deed of rent charge, between Roger North of Loughkeen, Co Tipperaray, and John North of Tyrrellspass, Co Westmeath, Roger gave granted bargained and made over one annuity of yearly rent charge of thirty pounds a year to the said John and Mary North his wife to be issuing and payable out of the lands of Whitewell in Westmeath and also out of the lands of Tinnekelly, in consideration of an assignment of the said John North’s interest in the lands of Tinnekelly in Co Tipperary to the said Roger North. The memorial was witnessed by John Wade of Tyrrellspass(EN email 12 Mar 2008; CN email 9 Jun 2009). The Roger of that deed, Roger North of Loughkeen, Co Tipperary, may be this Roger.Tinnakilly or Tinnakelly, and Clonfree are in the townland of Loughkeen, Cloneen, Clonmel, Co Tipperary (EN email 28 Apr 2008). Cornhill, Tinnakelly & Clonfree are townslands on the road from Riverstown village to Cloghjordan (& onwards to Borrisokane) about 2 to 4 miles outside Birr, very close to each other but not attached (EN email 23 Jun 2009). As to John of Tyrrellspass and Mary his wife, they may be John of Cornhill, this Roger's grandfather, and his wife and cousin Mary North, who leased Tinnekelly in 1784 (deed 1816-18 705 542/3 483478, CN email 11 Mar 2008). John seems to have been alive in 1786 when his other grandson John, this Roger's brother, married Anne Bomford (16.3.1)

6a ?Margaret North, m James Bagnell in 1797. Deed 1797 510 529 333150 of 1797 is the marriage settlement of James Bagnell, gent, of Rahoe in Co Westmeath and Margaret North of Co Dublin, spinster. The Margaret that was marrying was entitled, under the will of her father, the late Roger North, to £600 out of Tinnikelly and Clonfree - the lands that David North inherited from his 'Uncle Roger' of Birr. Was Margaret the daughter of 'Uncle Roger'? - for whom we don't have a wife, much less issue. Uncle Roger left a will, as it is mentioned in David's 1816 marriage settlement, so that is OK. Uncle Roger may well have left a £600 legacy to a daughter and given the lands to his nephew, subject to the legacy. We think Uncle Roger must have known David and that David was born in the 1790s, so we had supposed that Uncle Roger lived into the 1800s. But in the 1797 settlement Margaret's father Roger is dead. So the timing is all a bit tight - on our best estimate David was aged 3 in 1797. Uncle Roger, as best we know, acquired Clonfree in 1791, and Tinnekelly in 1786 (deed 425 55 275840 of 20 Apr 1786 - assignment from John North of Whitewell/Tyrrellspass/Cornhill), so they only came together in the early 1790s

4b ?John North, son of John North of Whitewell. Deed 1791 343 211 235759 (CN email 24 Jul 2009) refers to 'John North son of Jn North of Whitewell Co Westmeath', and 'Joseph North son of Joseph North of Northbrook Co Galway'. The 1791 deed is recited in deed 1816-18 705 542/3 483478 with the same information. Joseph of Northbrook is the next entry below, but his 'son' may be his nephew Joseph as it appears Joseph of Northbrook did not have a son Joseph when he died a year later. Joseph of Northbrook had a brother John of Whitewell, who married Margaret Abernethy, and this entry is for the son John of that John as refered to in the deed, assuming him to be the son of John of Whitewell and Margaret Abernethy. The 1791 deed may be wrong, and there is a low degree of confidence that this John existed. There is a John in the next generation of the Whitewell Norths, but he is the son of 4a Roger North, above, not the son of a John

3c Joseph North of Garrynahane, will proved 1792 (SP1, Vicars prerogative wills). Betham's extract of his will appears to state, '27 North Joseph of Garrynahane [or Garrynuhane or Garrynichane: = Northbrook] Co Galway Gent dated 10 Jul 1789 pd [proved in the Prerogative Court] 1 Mar 1792 - wife Hannah - Sister [or Sisters or perhaps Lister - possibly his wife's maiden name?; or possibly Sister's?] daur Sarah Abernethy - nephew Joseph North' (EN email 25 Apr 2008 #1). If it is 'Sister's daughter Sarah Abernethy', then Joseph had a sister who married an Abernethy who had a daughter Sarah Abernethy; or Hannah was an Abernethy and her brother had a daughter Sarah Abernethy. Henry Abernethy is a witness in deed 1726 50 54 32031. Joseph's brother 3b John North married Margaret Abernethy. Joseph is included in a tree (Bainbridge) in a James North book (SP email 27 Feb 2008). Joseph went to Galway, along with his nephew, his brother 3a William's son 4c Joseph (SP email 7 Mar 2008), so 3c Joseph is 4c Joseph's 'Uncle Joseph' (SP email 27 Feb 2008). Deed 1752 152 235 101563 of 19 Mar 1750 records a lease for lives renewable for ever of Garrynahane (Garrinahane), 200 acres, from Samuel Handy of Coolelough, Co Westmeath, to Joseph North of Garrinahane, Co Galway, for rent of £35 pa. Ann Fouace and John Handy are named as sister and brother to Samuel Handy (CN email 15 Oct 2009). The lease was renewed on 21 Apr 1839 (referred to in deed 1853 14 264: CN email 6 Sep 2010). Garrynahane was also known as Northbrook and on Joseph's death in 1792 it went to his brother 3a William of Kilbride Castle's third son, Joseph. Deed 1752 101564 of 21 Jan 1752 records a lease of 82 acres in two parcels part of Killtobber, 135 acres, Co Galway, from William Bagnall, eldest son and heir of John Bagnall (deceased), to Joseph North of Garrenhane [Garrynahane] for £63/10. Killtober has been leased to John Bagnall on 25 Mar 1724 by Barechias Low [Barakiah Low] of Newtown, Co Westmeath. John Bagnall had a brother Timothy Bagnall (CN email 15 Oct 2009)

3d Unnamed daughter North. See the entry for 3c Joseph North above: an unnamed daughter North has been included here because she may have married Henry Abernethy or another Abernethy and had the 'daughter Sarah Abernethy' mentioned in Betham's extract of Joseph's will. Bainbridge includes 'daughters' in her tree

2e Susanna North. Deed 200 51 1319424 of 1759: William Smith & Susanna his wife (nee North) of Courtfoyle?, Co Wicklow; refers back to their marriage 28 Nov 1733, Susanna being daughter of Roger North, Newcastle; deed concerns land & property to Roger North & William Midgely? of Kilbeggan, houses and tenements; jointure paid out of land at Courtfoyle and Carrignamuck, Co Wicklow (EN email 12 Mar 2008)

2f Mary North, d before 1748, m Caleb Emerson d 1748. Mary North and Caleb North are mentioned as a daughter and son of Roger North in deed 1726 50 54 32031. It is assumed that Caleb of the deed is 2b Caleb North above; this Mary North is his sister. It appears they both went to Pennsylvania. John Marshall has an Emerson tree which shows "Caleb Emerson (Thomas2, Edward1); m Mary North; [he] d 1748/49 at Philadelphia, PA. He resided at Dublin, Ireland. He resided at Philadelphia, PA. He left a will on 16 Jul 1748 at Philadelphia Co, PA; proved 16 Jan 1748." From other sources, Mary North m c1710 Caleb Emerson, 'an eminent and rich looking-glass maker' of Dublin, son of Thomas Emerson and Dorothy Middleton; Thomas Emerson was the son of Sir Edward Emerson of Derham (?Durham) and Debaro Bogwell; Debaro Bogwell was the daughter of Sir John Bogwell. Caleb Emerson d 1748 'at an advanced age' and there is no mention of his wife in his will (full transcript: Richard Emerson email 6 Dec 2008), which implies that Mary died before 1748 (Richard Emerson email 13 June 2008). Mary North and Caleb Emerson had three children

3a Elizabeth Emerson m 1730 Alexander Graydon and moved to Pennsylvania in 1731 with her husband, her father Caleb Emerson, and probably her sister Anne, and had a son. Her husband and her father took up business in Pensylvania, trading as Emerson and Graydon, importers of all manner of goods from Europe, including mirrors and slaves

He married Margaret Cross on 3 Dec 1766 as his 2nd wife. He left a will on 26 Jan 1770 at 'Fairview', Bucks Co, PA; proved 4 Oct 1770. He died in 1770 at 'Fair View', Bristol, Bucks Co, PA. He was buried at Presbyterian Cemetery, Newtown, Bucks Co, PA. (John Marshall)

2c William North of Lawrencetown and Coole, d 1722, m Anna and had issue (SP1). Betham's extract of his will states, '386 North William of Lawrencetown Kings Co - Dated 5th Feb 1721/2 - pd 16th Jan 1722 - wife Anna - Grandson Joseph Bagnell - Sons Elie and John John and Elie -' (EN email 25 Apr 2008 #13. Also recorded in Vicars prerogative wills & SP email 15 Oct 2015)

3a John North of Lawrencetown (SP1). Harriet Bainbridge says this John had sons William who married Rachel Antisell, and James. However, the marriage settlement of William and Rachel makes it clear that William was the son of John's brother Elie, and so both William and James have been moved to be sons of Elie. At this stage there is no other evidence that John had sons, or even that he married

3b Elie North of Ballintubber (SP1) (will of his father, above). Deed 69 438 49089 of 14 Apr 1729: John North, Tinny Cross, King’s Co, farmer, did grant and confirm unto Elie North of Cool, Kings Co, farmer, all his moiety and part of the town and lands of Tonglagee, Co Kildare and also his moiety and part of the town and lands of Coole and part of the lands of Togher, Croghan, Kings Co, that is to say his whole interest in the leases of the said towns and lands to hold to the said Elie, his Execs and Adms and assigns during the continuance of the respective --- together with the part of sheep, lambs, cows, bullocks, heifers of several ages and corn of the towns and lands of above to the said Elie, his Execs --- own proper life and uses forever, witness Joseph Sikes of Tinecross, farmer, Deborah Miller, Coole, widow, & Wm North eldest son of the said Elie North (EN email 17 May 2008). While it is not entirely certain who each of the parties is in this deed, it seems most likely that it was 2b John North b 1683 transferring land to his nephew, this Elie, before John took his family to the USA in 1830. If the deed refers to this Elie, his son William was the witness to the deed, and it explains how Elie had the land to promise to son William in William's marriage settlement (deed 206 293 136070 of 14 Feb 1737)

4a William North of Cool, Kings Co, d c1775 (Vicars prerogative wills), m 9 Feb 1737 Rachel Antisele or Rachel Antisell of Grange, Co Tipperary (ML), d c1801 (Vicars prerogative wills) (possible family) and had issue (SP1). Betham's extract of William's will reads, '281 North William of Cool Kings Co farmer - Dated 19th Decr 1771 pd 16th May 1775 - children Rachel - Mary - James - William and Thorogood - daur Jane wife of Philip Sherlock - Son Eli - wife Rachel - Brothers James North and Christopher Antisell -' (EN email 25 Apr 2008 #5). There is a record of an 1801 will for a Rachel Antisele (SP1). Brother Christopher Antisell named in William's will would be Rachel's brother, so William's brother in law. Deed 206 293 136070 of 14 Feb 1737 is their marriage settlement: Thomas Antisell of Straduffing, Co Tipperary, 1st part; Wm North of Coole in Kings Co, 2nd part; Ely North, father of Wm North, 3rd part; Godfrey Hemsworth of Lackine, Co Tipperary, 4th part; and Rachel Antisell, 2nd daughter of Thos Antisell 5th part - agreed that Wm North shall take to wife Rachel Antisell and Rachel shall take to husband Wm on or before 1 May then next; in consideration of marriage to be had then Thos Antisell covenanted to pay said Wm North £100 on 1 May then next, £50 on birth of 1st child by said Rachel; in consideration of said intended marriage Ely North covented to pay Wm North £200 in sheep, black cattle and horses on 1 May then next, ye farm of Tandrowgee, Co Kildare, on 1 May next, clear from any debt or rent, and also the farm aforementioned and five acres at Cragh, Kings Co, on 1 May, clear from debt or rent, and also farm said Ely North then lived on of 200 acres at Cool, Kings Co upon the death of said Ely North reserving the 4th part [i.e. a quarter?] of said farm of Cool for Ely and [his] then present wife during her lifetime and then to come said son William clear of debt; Ye sd Wm North in considn of sd marr portion covted [covenented] if in case sd wm shall [leave] the sd Rachel with one or more child or childn & marry a secd wife Yt in which case Ye sd Wm shall immediately after such secd marr secure unto the sd Thos Antisel & Godfrey Hemsworth one hund & fifty pds for Ye use of such child or childn when such child or childn shall attain to twenty one years or day of marr wch first happens provided sd child or childn marrys with the consent of Ye father or any of sd trustees to be paid to such child or childn in such share & proportion as sd Wm North by deed or will shall direct & for want of such directn to be paid to such childn share & share alike & if but one child the sd one hund & fifty pds to be pd to such child as aforesd .. agreed between sd parties Yt in case sd Rachel shall survive sd Wm leaving issue by him at his death Yt she shall have out of the assets & effects of sd Wm one hund & fifty pds in full all dower … & if sd Rachel survives him without issue then she shall have two hund & fifty pds in full of dower --- witnesses Thos North of Pallisboy in Westmeath and Thorgood North of Thennoes, Co Tipperary – sworn 18 Jun 1760 (CN email 1 Mar 2009; EN email 6 Dec 2008). William North is named as a son of Elie North of Cool in deed 69 438 49089 of 1729. (As an aside, there was still a Thomas Antisell born in Straduff, Co Tipperary, in the 1911 Dublin census - aged 38, married five years, living at 7 St Annes Terrace, Clontarf East, no children (EN email 21 Apr 2010)). Rachel Antisell's mother may have been Dorothea Fraser (Susan McCall email 20 Apr 2012)

5a Elias North or Eli North or Elic North or Elie North or Ely North, d before 1806 (deed 583 32 393592) m c1771 Margaret Homan and had issue. Deed 299 671 200128 of 9 Dec 1771 (EN emails 12 Mar & 3 Sep 2008) records the marriage articles of Margaret Homan, youngest daughter of Daniel Homan, Drumcooley, King’s Co (her mother might be Margaret Grierson who married a Daniel Homan in 1728: Shonagh Love email 12 Jun 2009, EN email 14 Mar 2012), and Elie North, 1st son of William & Rachel North, of Coole, Kings Co; mentions land at Ballyowen situated in the Half Barony of Philipstown, and at Coole and Togher. If this is the Ely of deed 526 280 344432 of 1800 then he is 'Ely North of Edenderry, Kings Co'. In deed 1776 311 114 207482 of 5 Feb 1774 Elie North, gent of Ballyowen (Ballyown, Balliowin), Kings Co, transfers the remainder of a lease over Ballyowen, on which he lived and which he had on lease from John Ledbeater deceased, to Phillip Sherlock, witnessed by Daniel Homan of Drimcooly (Drumcooly)

6a William North, eldest son (so presumably born soon after his parents' marriage in Dec 1771), alive in 1833 (surviving trustee of his sister Rachel's marriage settlement named in deed 1833 6 182).Deed 583 32 393592 of 16 Jan 1806: William North of the Bank of Ireland, Dublin, eldest son and heir of Elie North, late of Edenderry, Kings Co; and David North of the Bank of Ireland, 2nd son of Elie North, deceased; and Elie North of the City of Dublin, printer, 3rd son of Elie North; Rachael North and Sarah North daughters of Elie North; & Geo Fausett of Garavacum, Queens Co - the said William for consideration lands of Croghan, Ballysollagh near Philipstown in Kings Co, by Chas Bury to Wm North, to hold to said George Fausett upon trust (EN email 22 Jan 2009) (George Fausett is trustee in 6e Sarah's 1808 marriage settlement, below; the lands at Ballysollagh were held by William's uncle William, who transferred them to William's father Eli by deed 526 280 344432 on 24 Mar 1800)

6b David North of the Bank of Ireland, second son (deed 583 32 393592 of 1806)

6c Elie North, printer of Dublin, third son (deed 583 32 393592 of 1806). An Elias North is recorded at 6 Westmoreland Row, Ranelagh, from 1850 to 1852, and a Mrs J North is at the same address from 1848 to 1850 (Dublin directories: EN email 8 Feb 2010). Possibly this is the same Elie, or perhaps a son of the same name

7a ?William North, carpenter, of 5 Westmoreland Terrace, Ranelagh, son of Elias North compositor, married on 3 Nov 1859 Letitia Anne Wilson daughter of John Wilson, gentleman (Irish marriage certificate: SP email 25 Jul 2008; St Peter parish records, Dublin) and had issue. This William might be a son of this Elie the printer, though there is rather a gap between the 1806 deed in which Elie above was already a printer and the 1859 marriage of this William (so this William might be a grandson, with another Elias in between)

8a William Elie North, b 28 Feb 1861, baptised 20 Mar 1861, son of William North, builder, and Letitia Anne North, of 15 Redmonds Hill (St Peter parish records, Dublin)

6d Rachel North, m 1810 George Crawley (Rachel North & George Crawley, marriage bond, 1810, Kildare (CPR 1922 WW39)). 1833 6 182: 11 Apr 1833 (RB email 13 Mar 2008), George Crawley, Birr, Kings Co Merchant, and Rachel Crawley, otherwise North, his wife, 1st part; Wm North, surviving trustee named in a Deed of Marriage dated 20 Oct 1810, on the marriage of George Crawley and Rachel North, of the 2nd part; and Wm Barres of Edenderry, Kings Co, farmer, 3rd part. Whereby after ---- Elic North the father of said William and Rachel North, lease agreement - and the said Elic North, other part - to become entitled to certain premises known as tan yard holding in Edenderry, Baron of Coolestown, Edenderry town. This deed suggests Elic [Elias] North had a son William and a daughter Rachel; Rachel married George Crawley in 1810; and her brother was trustee to her marriage settlement

6e Sarah North. Deed 605 68 411413 of 26 Apr 1808 is the marriage settlement of Thomas Fossett of Portarlington and Sarah North of Dublin. George Fossett/George Fausett (also George Fawsett perhaps) of Garryvecum Queens Co is trustee. Thomas makes over to George various plots of land in Dublin, with a charge of £40 pa payable to Sarah if she survives Thomas, otherwise to the children (EN email 22 Jan 2009; CN email 25 Jul 2009). This was a second marriage for Thomas Fossett of Portarlington, Kings Co: deed 580 39 389662 of 17 Jan 1806 is a settlement for his marriage to Mary Ann Fannin, dau of Robert Fannin (sen), upholsterer, deceased, and sister of Robert Fannin, cabinet maker of Dublin (Shonagh Love email 5 Feb 2010). Both marriage settlements concern land in Great Georges St. It appears that Mary Ann Fannin died without issue soon after the marriage (deed 1872 24 288). Deed 1837 18 253 of 25 Oct 1837 records Thomas Fossitt of Edenderry, Kings Co, and Sarah Fossitt otherwise North, his wife - said Sarah on the death of her brother William - claiming sum of £900 Government stock and dividends (EN email 14 Oct 2008). The only connections placing Sarah here were Edenderry and the brother William, but deed 583 32 393592 confirms that Sarah was a daughter of Elias and Margaret. Deed 1842 25 11 of 31 Oct 1842 between Thomas Fossitt of Ballymurren, Co Wicklow, late of Edenderry, and Sarah otherwise North; & Harrington Tinkler of Portgarlington, Queen’s Co; and said Sarah Fossitt, Rachael, Mary Anne, Sarah Charlotte and Rebecca Fossitt, five of the daughters of Thomas Fossitt and Sarah of Ballymurren House; --- Mathew Jackson and Margaret Fossitt his wife of Millmount Kings Co, now of Prosperous, Co Kildare; and Thomas Fossitt son of Thomas Fossitt - re 1837 [deed:] paid by H Tinkler £750 to be divided between five unmarried daughters (EN email 1 Feb 2009). Shonagh Love (email 6 Jun 2009) has more information on Thomas Fossitt. His father was John Fossitt, and George Fossitt of Garryvecum, Queens Co, (mentioned in Lewis' survey) was John's brother, Thomas' uncle. George married Sarah Homan (deed 303 132 200356 of 28 Apr 1774 is their marriage settlement: Shonagh Love email 5 Feb 2010), daughter of Daniel Homan of Drumcooly and sister of Margaret Homan who married Elie North, and they may be buried at Geashill with other members of the family. Thomas also had, among 7 other siblings, a youngest brother John Fossitt, who had issue including Sarah Fossitt who married William Holland of Co Galway: they have living descendents (details in Shonagh Love email 12 Jun 2009). Thomas Fossitt seems to have died in the 1840s. Sarah was still alive in 1857 but dead by 1872 (as related in deed 1872 24 288: Shonagh Love email 5 Feb 2010).

Tax collector (on childrens' baptism records: Shonagh Love email 9 Jul 2010). On 2 Sep 1798 Pilkington Homan wrote to the marquis of Downshire thanking him for the use of his house at Edenderry during the rebellion, and stating that he wished to remain there until the winter had passed. The invasion of the French had 'influenced the minds of the rebellious people' and his family's saftey would be secured in the garrisoned town (PRONI D/607/A/561, as summaried by Ciaran Reilly: SP email 16 Jun 2009). Thomas was dead by 1872 (deed 1872 24 288: Shonagh Love email 5 Feb 2010)

They had a son Herbert V Fleming, a nephew mentioned in connection with the 1913 funeral of Homan Fossitt (Irish Times: Shonagh Love emails 12 & 13 Jun 2009). A Herbert Victor Fleming aged 23 was living at 20 Harcourt Terrace, Dublin, in 1911, so b c1888.

There were two other children still alive, and one dead, from the marriage of 41 years (Dublin census 1911). The dead child was Thomas St George Fleming, second son, d 28 May 1893, buried in the Mount Jerome Cemetery. Joe Connell (email 7 Oct 2016) has found Herbert Victor Fleming's diary (now with the Dublin City Archives Pearse Street) and has a transcription, and would welcome advice of any descendents. Herbert Victor Fleming and his wife are buried an unmarked grave at the at the far end of the Mount Jerome cemetery, not in the Fleming family plot with his parents or in the adjacent Foskitt family plot

Deed 683 29 469766 of 13 Dec 1814 concerns Jas North [James North, perhaps this one] of New Row, Dublin, merchant, sole assignee of estate of William Roe of Grafton St, dealer and chapman, of the first part; and William A Walker of Dublin, attorney at law, of the 2nd part; and James Francis O’Rorke of Beresford St, Dublin, of the 3rd part; George Cowan leased the land on 1 May 1806? to William Roe who mortgaged it to William A Walker for £100; William Roe died and the land and mortgage were assigned to James; now James is selling the land and mortgage to O'Rorke for £113.15 (EN email 8 Sep 2008; CN email 4 Mar 2010)

6a ?William North. The marriage settlement of Mary Anne North (below) refers to Thomas North as the fourth son of James North, and names James as another son. Antisele North, a witness to the settlement but without a stated relationship, seems to be another, leaving one son unaccounted for. William North is the first witness, and we don't have any other likely related William Norths other than an uncle, so he may well be a brother; and as he was first witness, an elder brother. There are several documents that refer to a William North, who was of New Row when he married in 1811, and as we are unable to place that William elsewhere he has been tentatively put in here with the other Norths of New Row. Deed 715 440 489375 of 18 Dec 1811 records the marriage settlement of Wm North [William North] of New Row Dublin and Elinor Ridley of Tullamore, spinster, neice of Margaret Ridley of Tullamore, spinster. It conveys one of 2 houses in Pound St, Tullamore, Barony of Ballycommon, Kings Co, being the house in which Margaret resided, to George Goff of Greek St, Dublin, for [the remainder of?] the lease for lives by which Margaret held the land from Viscount Charleville and Lord Tullamore (EN email 14 Oct 2008; CN email 3 Mar 2009). One of the 2 houses in Pound St (presumably the same one) was sold in 1870 by William's daughters and their husbands (deed 1870 16 173). That deed indicates that the 2 houses were acquired by Margaret Ridley in 1801, and one subsequently vested in William's daughters. Deed 1841 15 113 of July 1841 concerns William North of Pill Lane, Dublin & Allan Ellison of - Quay, merchants, re pieces of property in central Dublin (EN email 1 Feb 2009). Thoms 1835 lists William North of 38 Pill Lane, Dublin, as wholesale ironmongery & hardware & looking glass warehouse. Dublin directories (EN emails 26 Jan & 8 Feb 2010) list William North, hardware and trimming merchant, at 38 Pill Lane from 1820 to 1846; from 1836 at 9 Blackhall St; and from 1847 to 1853 at 35 Pill Lane & 11 Blackhall St. Shaw's 1850 Dublin Directory lists William North, hardware merchant, at 35 Pill Lane and 11 Blackhall St. There is no certainty that these are all the one William North, but it seems likely from the New Row, Pill Lane and Ridley family connections across the records. The Calendar of Public Records lists Ellen North, Blackhall St, Dublin, prerogative inventory, 1857 (CPR 1922 WW50) - Ellen could be Eleanor Ridley. One problem with placing William here is that he married in 1811, much earlier than his putative sister Mary Anne in 1831 or putative brother Antisell in 1834. On the other hand, if their parents married in 1785, then it seems Mary Anne and Antisell married late in their lives. It is notable that if William started his family soon after he married in 1811, then some of his children also seem to have married late in their lives

7a ?James Charles North. Deed 1860 6 139 includes James North, merchant, of Capel St, Dublin, as a party in relation to disposal of 35 Pill Lane to the Commissioners of Public Works, following the deaths of William and Elinor. The relationship of James to William is not stated. While Anne (7b below) is the administrator of William's estate, James gets the consideration, £780, from the commissioners, and all the children listed here as children of William are included as parties to the conveyance.The remaining children, below, are described in the deed as children of William North, but James isn't. Because of his involvement in the deed, it is assumed that James is a son of William. But he is not William's administrator, so there is some sort of problem, and nowhere is it explicitly stated that James is William's son. The conveyance recorded in the deed followed a court case, in which it looks as if Anne and James were petitioners, and the other children respondents. Deed 1866 12 234 of 27 Apr 1866: Court of Bankruptcy and Insolvency, Irish Bankruptcy and Insolvency in Ireland Act 1857, in the matter of James Charles North of Capel St, City Dublin, ironmonger: this is to certify that all the estates and effects of James Charles North the bankrupt have vested in Michel Murphy & Charles James, assignees of the court, and in William Graham of Smithfield, merchant creditors (EN email 17 Feb 2009; CN emails 4 May 2009, 5 Mar 2010).Deed 66 19 136 of 29 June 1866 re James Charles North, ironmonger, a bankrupt, of Capel St, conveying 4 and 5 Capel St to John Corbert (EN email 17 Feb 2009; CN email 5 Mar 2010; see George North, Rachael North and Arabella North below: they lived at various times at these Capel St addresses). Thoms 1860 lists James Charles North at 9 Charleston Terrace, Dublin (EN email 21 Sep 2009). A James C North is listed at 11 Blackhall St, address of William North (his putative father), in 1850; and at 36 Heytesbury Street in 1852 and 1853 (EN email 8 Feb 2010)

8a Mary Anne Elizabeth North, b 29 Mar 1851, dau of James Charles North, Esq, and Mary Ann North, of Charleston Terrace, Rathmines (St Peter parish records, Dublin). The original entry in the records is dated 12th March 1858, with the words 'Received by me' before the signature. It precedes similar entries for Sarah, Georgina & James. There is a marginal note which says 'These children were baptized by the Rev [?]Anders [?]Dawson Vicar of Miltown Mulbay, Co Clare'

8b Sarah Rentoul North, b 25 Sep 1852 (St Peter parish records, Dublin)

8c Georgina Ellen North, b 26 Jan 1856 (St Peter parish records, Dublin)

8d James Charles North, b 5 Jan 1858 (St Peter parish records, Dublin). It would seem that James died young, as he had a brother with the same given names born in 1865

8e William Francis North, b 1 Nov 1860, baptised 29 May 1861, son of James Charles North, ironmonger, and Mary Ann North, of 9 Charleston Tce (St Peter parish records, Dublin)

8g James Charles North, b 1 May 1865, baptised 30 Jul 1865 (ditto: St Peter parish records). James seems to be the last child, coinciding pretty much with the bankruptcy of his father

7b Anne North of 11 Blackhall St, parish of St Paul, Dublin, spinster of full age, daughter of William North, merchant, married 17 Jul 1854 in the parish church (United Church of England and Ireland), parish of St George, Dublin, John Ledwich, gent, son of William Ledwich, gent, of 8 Margaret Place (Thoms 1854 lists William Ledwich at 8 Margaret Place, Dublin and Westtown Lodge, Co Kildare: EN email 21 Sep 2009); witnesses John Purcele and Jane Lamb (marriage cert: SP email 1 Jul 2008; EN email 26 Feb 2010; St George parish records). Deed 1860 6 139 concerns Anne Ledwich otherwise North of Rathmines, Dublin, re the administration of the estate of William North, late of Pill Lane, Dublin, iron merchant; Francis Ridley [as to whether Frances or Francis, see CN email 9 Sep 2009] of Tullamore, Kings Co, exec of will of Ellen North - sum of £750 [presumably Ellen Ridley, William's wife and Anne's mother, d c1857; a Francis Ridley was listed as a hardware dealer in Pound St, Tullamore in 1824], John and Anne Ledwich and Ridley respondents, ref property 35 Pill Lane, George, Ellen, Rachael, William & Arabella, children of sd William (EN email 17 Feb 2009).

7c George North (deed 1860 6 139 above), b before 1840 (marriage cert: EN email 25 Sep 2009). George North, bachelor, of full age, of 4 Capel St (owned by James Charles North, above) [and] 6 Ryders Row, St Marys, ironmonger, son of William North, ironmonger [deceased - deed 1860 6 139], married 'according to the provisions of the Act of 48 Victoria Chap 81 by licence' at the Registry Office in the City of Dublin on 26 Dec 1860 Caroline Keely, spinster of full age, also ironmonger [seems doubtful - the certificate is a bit of a mess in the occupation column, but it has ditto marks under ironmonger for Caroline's occupation] of 14 Eden Quay [and] 6 Ryders Row, Dublin, daughter of James Keely, hotel keeper (listed at the Anchor Hotel and Tavern, 14 Eden Quay in 1860: EN email 12 Sep 2010). The witnesses were Joseph Young and Eliza Devitt Young (marriage certificate: EN email 25 Sep 2009). Thoms 1860 lists George North, Esq, at 11 Blackhall St, Dublin (EN email 21 Sep 2009). He was also listed there in 1853 (EN email 8 Feb 2010). In deed 1863 38 32 George sells to his father in law, James Keely, his interest in two parcels of land in Dublin for £1,000 (CN email 17 Mar 2010)

7d Ellen North (deed 1860 6 139), m 17 May 1862 William Robert Lyon, druggist and chemist, son of Richard Lyon, medical practitioner (deed 1870 16 173; St Mary parish records, Dublin)

7e Rachael North (deed 1860 6 139), b before 1840 (marriage cert). Rachel North, spinster of full age, daughter of William North, merchant [deceased - deed 1860 6 139], and then of 5 Capel St (owned by James Charles North, above), married on 3 Dec 1860 at St Marys Church, Parish of St Mary, City of Dublin, Francis Sillery Wilson, farmer of Proudstown House, Tara, Co Meath, son of Whitton William Wilson, farmer. Ezekiel Wilson and Ellen North were witnesses (marriage certificate (EN email 25 Sep 2009; CN email 13 Jul 2010); deed 1870 16 173; parish records). Deed 1860 37 44 of 30 Nov 1860 is her marriage settlement: the principal item was an undivided moiety of the lands of Proudstown, which was encumbered with rent, a jointure and other benefits for his mother, Jane Wilson, widow, and a £1,000 mortgage, which was put in trust for the benefit of Rachael to cover a multitude of possible failures by her husband to be; the trustees were Ezekeil Wilson and John Wilson (CN email 19 Mar 2010). Rachael seems to have been a widow in 1870 (deed 1870 16 173 does not mention a husband)

7f William North (deed 1860 6 139)

7g Arabella North (deed 1860 6 139) m 17 May 1862 Henry Lyon, druggist (deed 1870 16 173), son of a medical practitioner, in Parish of St Michael. She was living at 4 Capel St (a property belonging to James Charles North (6a above) conveyed by his assigns in bankruptcy in 1866: deed 66 19 136). Witnesses were Richard Lyon and Francis Sillery Wilson (marriage certificate v 5, pg 64 Dublin North: SP emails 15 Sep 2009 & 9 Mar 2010; St Mary parish records, Dublin). Presumably Richard Lyon the witness, Henry Lyon the groom, and William Lyon, who married Araballa's sister Ellen the same year, were all from one family. Francis Sillery Wilson is Arabella's sister Rachael's husband. Ellen and Arabella were married on the same day (original record ~1.2MB)

6b Mary Anne North m Richard Newcomb (SP1). Mary Anne North m 1831 Richard Newcombe (ML). Deed of Marriage 871 492 579492 of 28 May 1831: James North of Dublin, merchant, and Mary Anne North spinster, only daughter of said James North 1st part, Richard Newcombe of Ballycristal, Kings Co, 2nd part, James North junr son of said James North 3rd part, and James Newcombe brother of Richard Newcombe and Thomas North fourth son of said James North 4th part; ref marriage to be solemnized between Richard Newcombe and Mary Anne North; Richard Newcombe did grant bargain & sell to James Newcombe and James North one third part of lands of Ballycristal, Barony of Geashill and Kings Co, together with the Mansion House on said lands and bog belonging to same (granted by lease by Jonathan Ardill Dec 1826) signed in presence of William North [?her brother], Antisele North [her brother], James North, merchant [her father], Mary Anne North, Richard Newcombe, James North jnr [her brother] and Thomas North [her brother] (EN email 14 Sep 2008)

6c Antisele North or Antisell North who 'came to America' (Bainbridge). IGI records indicate Antisell North, son of James North and Mary Antisell, was born in Dublin c1776 (SP email 14 Feb 2008; c.f. parents' marriage bond dated 1785 above). Deed 1835 10 227 is a marriage settlement dated 12 Jul 1834: Antisele North of New Row, Dublin, merchant, and Hanna Walpole of Wexford, re marriage intended: marriage portion £1,000, £2,000 bond provision for Hanna and issue in the event of Antisell's death or bankruptcy (EN emails 14 Oct 2008 & 13 Aug 2009, CN email 24 Feb 2009). Thoms 1835 [?: EN email 13 Aug 2009] records Antisele North of 21, 22 New Row Dublin, ‘James North & Sons, Wholesale Hardware House & Merchants’. Deed 1842 7 159 of 15 Mar 1845, records the assignment by Antisele North of New Row, Dublin, merchant, for consideration of 10 shillings, of a lease of a house in New Row formerly in the possession of Lawrence Coppinger, to Austin Ferrall Esq of Mount Joy Place, Dublin (EN email 1 Feb 2009; CN email 2 Apr 2010). If Antisell went to America, he must have done so after 1842, and was probably in his fifties at the time. Antisele and Hanna had issue.

6d James H North who 'came to America' (Bainbridge). James is mentioned in the 1831 marriage settlement of his sister Mary Anne North. A James North, pewterer, and Sarah North lived at 85 Pill Lane and had issue (listed here; St Audoen's Church of Ireland records, Dublin City Library: EN email 10 Feb 2010). He might be this James. (There was a John North, pewterer and brazier, in Pill Lane from 1824; a John North m Mary Preston at St Audoen on 15 May 1817, witness James North, no addresses given (parish records; parish records); and a John and Mary North who had a daughter Rosanna in 1818 who may be the Rosanna who took over the Pill Lane pewtering business in 1844 - their relationship to the other Pill Lane Norths is not known: see unplaced Norths)

7i Rosanna North, b 26 Apr1841, dau of James North, pewterer, and Sarah North, of 85 Pill Lane, baptised 9 May 1841 (St Audoen parish records). This Rosanna would have been 3 in 1844, so too young to take over the Pill Lane pewtering business

6e Thomas North, mentioned in his sister Mary Anne North's marriage settlement as the fourth son of James North, m 1834 Charlotte Marion Pounden. Deed 1838 11 132 is a memorial of articles of agreement dated 31 May 1834 between Thomas North of Lower Bridge street in the city of Dublin, merchant, of the 1st part; Charlotte Marion Pounden a subject under the age of 21, aged 19 or thereabouts of the 2nd part; Peter McMahon of Enniscorthy in Co Wexford, gentleman, the uncle and best friend of the said Charlotte Marion Pounden of the 3rd part; and James Henry North of Church street in the city of Dublin merchant and the said Peter McMahon of the 4th part (the trustees) - a marriage was shortly intended to be had between Thomas North and Charlotte Marion Pounden; Charlotte was entitled to £1,000 by virtue of the will of her 'pateral' grandfather, Patrick Boyd late of Brunswick St, Dublin, held in trust by Helen Boyd, and that entitlement was transferred to Thomas, but on condition that Thomas enter into a bond to pay £1,000 (with a penal sum of £2,000 should he fail to pay) to the trustees should he die, fail in business, become bankrupt or become in danger of becoming so. The memorial was sworn in Enniscothy, Co Wexford, some 4 years after the deed was executed: something may have happened to prompt its registration (CN email 11 Apr 2009). Eva North (email 30 May 2010) has suggested that this Thomas may be Thomas North of 16 Lwr Bridge St, Dublin, partner in James and Thomas North, woolen and manchester warehouse, Bridge St, Dublin. Dublin directories list James North and Thomas North of 16 Lower Bridge St, Dublin, as 'woolen and manchester warehouse' from 1829 to 1837; James Henry North is listed as a hardware merchant at 7 Church St from 1830 to 1844 (EN email 8 Feb 2010) - so there may be two James Norths involved here, one in business with Thomas at Lower Bridge St, and one his trustee and in business at Church St. St Audoen’s Church of Ireland records in the Dublin City Library record that Thomas North and Charlotte North of Lower Bridge St had children, James North, and Ross McMahon North

7a James Haddington North, b 15 Feb 1835, baptised 3 Jul 1835 (James North, son of Thomas North and Charlotte North of Lower Bridge St: St Audoen parish records), d 18 Nov 1913, auctioneer, m 1874 Catherine Wilson.

5e William North (named in his father's will). May have been alive in 1815 if he is the William North of deed 686 557 472071. Deed 1785 364 320 245496 is a deed poll (i.e. a declaration by a single party, c.f. a contract between two parties) dated 1 Mar 1785, in which William North of Philipstown, Kings Co, merchant, gives all his right and interest at Philipstown and the lease thereof (for the lives of William North the lessee, James North and Thorough North (presumably his brothers)) until its full end and determination, to his son James North, and to his daughter Isabella North £24 [out] of his land of Ball [possibly Ballysolagh?] for 5 years and then £2/2/2 for a term of lives: one of the lives is 'John North, pinmaker'. Further, William appoints Barakiagh North as guardian of his children Francis and Isobella, which suggests that they were under 21 and perhaps their mother was dead, leaving William the sole parent. Barakiagh might be Barakea North of Ballysolagh, son of Thomas North and Mary Low. That Barakiah's relationship to William is uncertain: it may be that he was closer geographically than by blood; if that is the right Barakiah, then the John North pinmaker might be Barakiah's brother; and he may have worked with William's brother James in his thread and tape business (EN email 10 Mar 2010). The deed was witnessed by Margaret North (perhaps William's sister in law, Eli's wife, Margaret Homan). In deed 476 227 311450 of 23 Jan 1792 between Wm North, Philipstown, Kings Co, merchant, 1st part, and Michael McCabe of Croghan Kings Co, other part, farmer, Wm North agreed to lease lands of Ballysollagh, part of the lands of Croghan, at yearly rent to McCabe, held by a lease from Charles William Berry to said Wm North, unless the Berry lease was 'perfected', in which case the agreement was void (EN email 21 Jun 2008, CN emails 1 Aug & 12 Oct 2009). In deed 1796 496 346 319479 of 20 Sep 1795, William North of Philipstown, merchant, leased a parcel of land, part of Croughan, called B..... [Ballysolagh?], then in the possession of Michael McCabe, to Michael McCabe for the remainder of a 97 year lease from Charles William Bury to William North (CN email 17 Sep 2009). Deed 526 280 344432 of 24 Mar 1800 is a memorial of indented deed of conveyance between William North of Philipstown, Kings Co of the 1st part; and Ely North of Edenderry, Kings Co of the 2nd part - reciting that Charles William Bury now Lord Nullamore [Charleville] did by lease of 14 Apr 1793 demise unto the said Wm North all that part of lands of Croghan being part of the lands of Ballysolagh amt 62 acres 32 rd 25 perches bounded by as per map hereto annexed to hold to William North for three certain lives therein named at a yearly rent of £71/11/01 with one shilling in the pound receivers fees - William North in consideration of £170 paid by Ely North did grant bargain sell release and confirm to Ely North all that part of the lands of Croghan being part of Ballysolagh thereinbefore particly mentd, for the original three lives and subject to the original and additional covenants and conditions. Eli North of Dublin, gent, was a witness (EN email 19 Oct 2008; CN email 28 Dec 2009). We don't know who Eli the witness was, but Ely who bought the land was William's brother Ely, because Ely's eldest son William dealt with it in 1806 after Ely died (deed 583 32 393592)

6a Thomas North, m 1821 Barbara Bayly. Thomas North & Barbara Bayly, marriage bond, 1821, Kildare (CPR 1922 WW39, EN email 10 Dec 2009). Deed 1837 17 175 (EN email 10 Mar 2008) is a memorial of the marriage settlement of Thomas North and Barbara Bayly. It refers to Thorogood North and Dorothea North his wife, and Thomas North their eldest son and recites the intended marriage between the said Thomas North and Barbara Bayly,daughter of Rev Henry Bayly, Rathangan, Co Kildare; also mentions Antisell North of Philipstown, Thomas Bayly (trustees), and Matilda Bayly (witness)

6b Antisell North m 1819 Grace North (Antisell North & Grace North, marriage bond, 1819, Kildare (CPR 1922 WW39)). Deed 788 405 533140 of 10 July 1819 is their marriage settlement. It names Thorogood North as Antisell's father. It recites a deed of parturition made the same day, whereby Grace North is entitled to one third of the lands of Croghan called Barrysbrook, formerly in the possession of her late father (who is not named, unfortunately: presumably the other two thirds went to her sisters Margaret North and Anne North of Philipstown, spinsters). Thorogood conveyed the lands of Tougher, leased to him by the Earl of Charlevile on 25 Sep 1802, and Grace conveyed her share of Barrysbrook to Thomas North of Coole, gent, and Roger North of Kilduff in said county, in trust for the issue of the marriage and other uses set out in the deeds but not recorded in the memorandum. There is an unusual provision, that if Antisell and Grace should come to live apart, then Antisell will get the benefit of Tougher, and Grace will get the benefit of Barrysbrook, and that Barrysbrook will revert to her sisters if Grace should outlive Antisell and there be no issue of the marriage. We are not yet able to place Margaret, Anne and Grace in the North family tree.

Deed 625 279 434889 of 27 Feb 1811 is their marriage settlement: between Jas Damer of Dublin, hatter of the 1st part and Thorogood North of Coole Kings Co and Rachel North spinster his daughter of the 2nd part and William North of Dublin, merchant, 3rd part (perhaps Rachel's uncle William, 5e above, if he was still alive); a marriage was intended to be solemnized between Jas Damer and Rachel; Thorogood North had agreed to give £500 as a marriage portion to his daughter; James Damer was not in a position to make a suitable settlement on Rachael; so James got £250 in cash, but had to make out a bond for £500, which bond and the remaining £250 was vested in William North as trustee pending making of a suitable settlement; witnesses included John Cahill, and Thos North, son of Thorogood (EN email 7 Sep 2008; CN email 13 Sep 2009). James Dames [sic], hatter, is listed at 32 Temple Bar in Thoms 1811 (EN email 21 Sep 2009)

3c daughter North, m Bagnell (will of her father, above) and had issue

4a Joseph Bagnell (named as a grandson in the will of 2c William North of Lawrencetown)

3d (possibly) Thomas North, d c1758. Betham has an extract of a will, '160 North Thomas of Ballysolough, Kings Co - Dated 16 Oct 1752 - pd 18 Apr 1758 - wife Mary - Sons Barakea and John - daur Anne - Brother John North - Brother in law Baracah Low -' (EN email 25 Apr 2008 #9). See also Vicars prerogative wills. So Thomas North, d 1758, brother of John North, married Mary Low, sister of Baracah Low, and had issue: Barakea North, John North and Anne North. Deed 124 254 84554 of 11 Aug 1745 records that Tho North and Barakiah North of Ballysollagh, Kings Co, set farm to Ralph Brisco of Old Croghan, lands of Killnakill, part of Croughan joining Old Croughan running into old mearing ditch formerly between John North’s land and Tho North’s land and so on to Rothrums gate – 100 acres or thereabouts to demise to Ralph Brisco from March for 20 years, provided Tho and Barakiah North continue to pay rent, witness John North, Dublin, William Briscoe [sic] son of Ralph Brico (EN emails 22 May & 17 Aug 2008; CN email 10 Jun 2009). This may help place Thomas. Barakiah of the 1745 deed may be Thomas' son. Ballysollagh is mentioned in a later deed, 476 227 311450 of 23 Jan 1792, in which it is described as part of Croghan; in that deed William North leases Ballysollagh to Michael McCabe. The Ballysollagh connection suggests that Thomas is part of this branch of the family. John North of the 1745 deed, and John North the brother mentioned in Thomas' will, could be John of Lawrencetown. Thomas would have been alive in 1722 when John's father William made his will, and Thomas is not mentioned in it as one of William's sons; he certainly was not dead then, so he should have been mentioned. It is possible that his connection with the Low family led to his being disinherited. Thomas may also be the Thomas of Pallisboy who witnessed the marriage settlement of William North and Rachel Antisell (deed 206 293 136070 of 14 Feb 1737, above). For now, Thomas is placed here

4a Barakea North or Barakiah North or several other spellings. Deed 1757 184 539 124203 is a memorial of articles of agreement dated 10 Jan 1749/9 whereby Mr Berachiah North of Ballysallaugh in the King’s Co, gent, did set and to farm let unto Michael Flanagin & Edward Flanagan both of Ballykillin in the same county, farmers, and James Mullone of said Ballysallaugh, farmer, that part of the lands of Ballysallaugh then in the possession of Thomas Dames esqr containing 66 acres arable and pasture plantation measure in as ample and beneficial manner as it was in the possession of said Thomas Dames with the turf bank and appurtenances thereto belonging, to hold from 25 Mar then next ensuing for the term of 31 years provided the lives in said North’s lease shall so long continue at the yearly rent of 13/- per acre by half yearly payments above all taxes, quit and crown rent excepted, that said Barachiah North shall allow the said Michael Flanagan, Edward Flanagan and James Malone their exrs and assigns a sufficient passage to and from the said premises; witnessed by Thomas Davis of Rathmill schoolmaster and Andrew McGan of Ballysallaugh farmer both in the King’s county (CN email 28 Dec 2009).

4b John North. Possibly he is the 'John North pinmaker' who was named as a life in deed 1785 364 320 245496, if the Barakiagh North named in that deed as guardian of two children of William North of Philipstown is this John's brother Barakiah

[If this is all correct there are two Esters: one Ester Unknown m William North; and the other Ester North m William Plowman; possibly Ester North (m 1727) and Susanne or Susannah North (m 1734) are daughters of William North and his wife Ester]. Deed 76 125 53192 of 23 Apr 1734 (EN email 22 May 2008, CN email 31 Jul 2009) concerns a marriage settlement between Joseph Plowman and Susanna North, spinster, 'daughter of William Plowman of Newtown, Co Kildare, farmer' (sic); it states that Joseph Plowman, butcher, is a son of Thomas Plowman, butcher, both of Dunlavin, Co Wicklow. It seems highly unlikely that Susanna North, spinster, would be a daughter of William Plowman: either she should be Susanna Plowman, or he should be Willliam North. The latter seems more likely, given that there is was a William North with a daughter Susanne (deed 51 296 53757 of Feb 1729 above) and Plowman could be a clerical error given there are other Plowmans in the transaction

James Mathews and Jane had a daughter named Dorothea (Mathews), baptised April 1827 Church of Ireland, Tullamore, King's County (Dorothea was a North first name and not a Mathews name) and Dorothea herself had a daughter to whom she gave the name Rachel (another North name) (Carol Allan email 27 Oct 2013).

Carol Allan reports (email 16 Apr 2014) that James Mathews had estate lands neighbouring Moyally, a North-owned estate. They were Parkwood, Burrow and Faheeran, and further away, Lower Boggagh. Thomas and Richard Mathews owned land in Moate. That suggests that James Mathews would, at the very least, have known members of one branch of the North family, and through them had opportunity for introduction to other branches. In addition, Moyally was formerly owned by Maxwell Mathews.

John North and Anne Maud married in 1827 (ML). Deed 821 90 552625 1825 of 1827 refers to the [marriage?] settlement of John North, Peters Row, Dublin, house painter, and Anne Maud, Abbey St, Dublin, daughter of Wm Henry Maud, referring to her father’s will, cash and government stocks (EN email 27 Sep 2008). Anne Maud's death certificate records that she died on 1 April 1871 at 124 Rathmines, South Dublin and was the widow of a builder (23.7).Possibly this is the same John North as married Charlotte Homan in 1819. John North, painter and decorator, Abbey St, Dublin, business transfer to Passmores, 1832 (deed 880 85 583585, EN email 27 Sep 2008). John North, painter, is listed in Dublin directories at 148 Abbey St from 1832 to 1842. Mrs North is listed at 84 Abbey St for the same period (EN email 4 Feb 2010). From 1844 to1849 Mrs Anne North was at 2 Ormond Quay, Lower, in 1847 at 10 Mulgrave Place, Rumley Ave, Kingstown, where in 1849 she was succeeded by John North. From 1850 to 1853, Mrs Anne North is recorded at 124 Fortescue Tce, Rathmines (EN email 8 Feb 2010). In deed 1860 29 102 of 20 Sep 1858, Anne North of Rathmines widow and administrix of John North, late of Abbey St, and William North, son and only child of the said John and Anne North, lease a dwelling house and other buildings at 49 Henry St to Thomas Millard for 40 years for an unrecorded consideration and subject to payment of rent of £100 pa (CN email 20 Mar 2010). William Henry North, baptised 25 Sep 1833, was a son of John North and Anne North of 148 Abbey St (St Mary parish records, Dublin) would seem to be that son. However, he had a younger brother, so was not an only son and child: John Grendon North, b 3 Feb 1841, baptised 26 May 1841, son of John North, builder, and Anne North, of 148 Abbey St (St Mary parish records, Dublin). Possibly John Grendon North died young, leaving William as the only surviving child. William Henry North d 23 Apr 1897 aged 64 (Newcastle Lyons parish records, Dublin). A John North won a contract to rebuild the Gaol of Newgate in Dublin. The Government subsequently withdrew from the contact and the English Parliament passed an Act in 1840 to pay compensation to John North. As there was a shortfall in the funds available to pay the compensation, an amending Act was passed in 1842 to ensure that his administratrix Anne North could receive the compensation, John North being by then 'lately deceased'. It seems possible, but on current evidence is by no means certain, that Anne North of the 1842 Act was Anne Maud, in which case her husband John North died between the passing of the 1840 Act and the 1842 Act

In deed 1860 22 224 Thomas North of 49 Grafton St sells to Solomon Barnard of 51 Grafton St, a one third share of premises at 106 & 107 Abbey St, the latter of which formerly was possessed by Nicholas Levy, and his one third share of an income of £60 pa payable therefrom, for £150(CN emails 28 Aug 2009 & 19 Mar 2010). Thomas seems to have aquired his one third share in the premises by a deed of settlement of 1 May 1820, which may have been his marriage settlement. Maria North & Solomon Barnard, marriage bond, 1836 (CPR 1922 WW27) - which suggests that Solomon may have been Thomas' brother in law. Deed 1861 21 84: brief document wherein the Court of Bankruptcy certifies that the affairs of Thomas North bankrupt jeweller of Grafton St, Dublin, have been handed over to official court assignees (CN email 2 Apr 2010).  John Nathan of 23 Lower Gardiner in the city of Dublin, jeweller , was the creditors assignee in the said matter. Deed 1861 23 49, registered 17 Jul 1861, records transactions by various people, including Thomas North, formerly of Grafton St, bankrupt jeweller. In deed 1862 8 256 of 7 Mar 1862, Patrick Joseph Grey apothecary of Drogheda and Harriett Matilda North his wife sell their one third share of the same 106 and 107 Abbey St to Robert Yeats Esq of Elm Hall, Co Kildare, for a consideration of £240 (CN email 10 Apr 2010). The deed recites a marriage settlement of 1 May 1824, which is probably deed 791 416 534951, the marriage settlement for Thomas North and ?Margaret Fox. From these dealings in Abbey St, it looks as if Harriett and Thomas shared a family interest in Abbey St, probably with a third North, not yet positively identified but who seems likely to have been Maria, wife of Solomon Barnard, or could have been a Martha North identified in deed 1865 14 296 of 28 Oct 1864. That deed records the sale by Maria Barnard otherwise Maria North, wife of Solomon Barnard, acting as administratrix of the estate of Martha North, deceased, to Patrick Courtney of West St, Drogheda, shop keeper, of a house in Drogheda for the remainder of a lease of 99 years granted on 23 Jan 1800 (CN email 10 Apr 2010). Martha North might be Maria's mother (or perhaps her sister). If Martha is the mother, then it seems likely that she married a North, had three children, Thomas, Maria and Harriett, that she came from Drogheda, and lived at 106 & 107 Abbey St in Dublin. Perhaps Thomas could not adminster her estate because he was a bankrupt (or perhaps dead), but he seems to have married earlier (1824) than Maria (1836) so was probably the eldest child

Sources

CoN is The Coffeys of Newcastle, a book extract, pp 34-35, from Sheila Perino 11 Jul 2007, which contains a useful though skeletal tree of the major branches of the Norths of Ireland. Sheila advises (emails 13 Jul 2007) that it is credited to Bishop John McCormack, and was a book about Parish families prepared from local sources for the rededication of the Sacred Heart Church in Meedin (Tyrrellspass) in the 1980s.

SP1, SP2, SP3, etc are trees prepared by Sheila Perino (email 1 Mar 2008) drawing on a range of sources. Other work by Sheila has been incorporated in Peter Bamford's chapters, particulary the text of Chapter 23.

A major source is The History of Augusta by James North published by Clapp & North, 1870, Augusta, Maine. He says,

The first part of the lineage is found recorded at Herald's College, Dublin, compiled by the College from lawsuits and wills. Sir Barnard Burke, Ulster King of Arms, says 'Further pedigrees of the Norths in Ireland are almost impossible from the great destruction of registers during the civil wars'. To this may be added the difficulty of overcoming the suspicion, at some private sources of information, that property which has been in litigation for many years in chancery, is the object of investigation.

James North's book included family trees (first, second) compiled by Hariet A Bainbridge from records in Herald's College, Dublin; wills, deeds and family records.

Sheila is gradually collecting birth, marriage and death certificates and other documents to confirm the record.

Book xx Ref xxx or Book xxx p xxx ref xxx are references to memorandums of deeds held in the Registry of Deeds, Dublin. These have been investigated by EN, but there is a vast number of them, they are often in obscure hand writing and commonly involve complex legal transactions which are difficult to follow, so only bare details have been extracted in most cases. They may contain substantial mistakes of transcription and interpretation. If it is important, the text should be rechecked in the Registry of Deeds. The memoranda commonly have three dates: the date of the original deed, the date that the memorandum was taken and sworn (sometimes years later), and the date it was inscribed onto the Register. As well, deeds commonly recite earlier deeds, which also contain dates. Dates given in summaries of the deeds may be any of these, though we have sought to find and use the date of the original deed rather than the date of the memorandum or inscription.
