I am familiar with those family names locally . . and feel certain that there are relations still in the area . . 

However . . I will now attempt to contact people locally who may be able to make family connections . . 

It may take a little time . . as people are not always available . . bear with me . .

Hello Isaac,

Wonderful to hear from  you. My email is marie.marchese54@bigpond.com.

The family will be so excited to know of your contact.

Regards,

Marie

Marie, I'm somewhat late coming to this converstion. I have but one piece of information to add and that is that your ancestor owned a tuck mill -  Source for the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulling Fulling, also known as tucking or walking (spelled waulking in Scotland), was a step in woollen clothmaking which involves the cleansing of cloth (particularly wool) to eliminate oils, dirt, and other impurities, and to make it thicker. The worker who does the job is a fuller, tucker, or walker,[1] all of which have become common surnames. The Welsh word for a fulling mill is pandy,[2] which appears in many place-names, for example Tonypandy ("fulling mill lea").  

The local river The Moneen flows through Roscrea at The Valley and the Mill was nearby. It was demolished unfortunately sometime around the time the building of the local Catholic Church, I believe.  The appendage Miller/Dyer most probably applies to his ownership and role in the business.

Hello Marie .. just came across this .. is this thread/topic still active ?

Jacksons are on my great-great grandfather's wife' side (Lizzie Anne JACKSON .. married Richard STANLEY).

Really (shamefully) too busy to seriously get into the family history .. but if there is a link, it might spur me on.

My dad, Eric STANLEY, (the youngest of the 5 brothers), died 3 years ago; his dad was Robert Frederick Stanley; son of the Richard Stanley that was married to Lizzie Jackson.
