My ancestors, Robert and son David Thompson were farmers in Cloughfin. Griffiths Valuation has Robert in 1864 on lots 9A and 9B but I have difficulty in locating where their dwelling house may have been located. Also I would like to find Robert's ancestors and other Thompson relatives. In 2016 volonteer member Alwyn identified and provided some information concerning three Thompson families but little on my branch: I think that the townland that the | Ireland Reaching Out (irelandxo.com) The 1901 Census identifies David and family but no trace in the 1911 Cenus.

  • Thanks very much Mary. Parts of the testament are cut off though. Any idea whether the Thompson home was located?
