We are also from John Patrick's Australian line, myself being his great-great-grandson. I don't have any more information for you regarding the Ledwich's in Ireland. However, from a note included in an impressive family Bible given to John and Frances in 1889 we were able to piece together a colourful picture of that first australian generation. Let me know if you would like further information.<br />Kind Regards,<br />Chris LedwichChris @ Brisbane, AUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765757019534321693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561249004966522983.post-4511264863022383562018-03-16T18:28:19.309+00:002018-03-16T18:28:19.309+00:00My grandmother (Mary cathrine Mcgrane) was born th...My grandmother (Mary cathrine Mcgrane) was born there.

I would be most interested in any information you might have (or can find) regarding the Ledwich family and their time at the Castle - especially the first Ledwich family who lived there in 1723, as I do not have any information re their names etc. Our line goes; Simon Ledwidge Born about 1739 > son > Thomas Ledwidge > son > Simon Ledwich (emigrated to Australia) > son > John Patrick Ledwich > son George William Ledwich > daughter Denise Ledwich (Johnston) > son > George William Johnston - my husband. <br />I would be most grateful for any information you can find, as what you have written here has been most useful.<br />Kindest Regards<br />Rhonda JohnstonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
