Death: 1650

Note: Sarah was probably born in the late 1550s, as her eldest son was born about 1581. Sarah's second husband was living in Yorkshire when he died in 1643, so it is presumed that Sarah was living there as well.

Robert Meredith

M, #10458, b. before 1541

Family Explorer

Biography

Birth: Before 1541; Probably Wales

Note: Some sources indicate that the father of Bishop Richard Meredith was also named Richard. However, Church of Ireland records say Robert. Robert Meredith lived in Carnarvonshire, Wales. One source suggests there was a third son who was a general, but we can find no documentation to support that.
Much of the information on the descendants of Robert in this family tree is based on a pedigree chart held at the National Library in Dublin (GOMS 174, pp. 64-65), much of which is now believed to be in error. For updated information on the ancestry of this line see:

Biography

Birth: Queens County, Ireland

Christening: 3 August 1828; Ballyfin, Clonenagh Parish, Queens County, Ireland

Marriage: 14 July 1859; Rebecca Strong; Rosenallis Parish, Queen's County, Ireland

Death: 29 June 1915; Ballycullane, Athy, County Kildare

Burial: 1 July 1915; Athy

Note: Thomas farmed ~64 acres at Coolbanagher from 1864 until 1892. Anecdotally, there were said to be 5 families "down the lane" at Coolbanagher with 70 children between them. He farmed at Ballyduff from 1892-1911 and died 29th Jun 1915, aged 87, at Ballycullane, Athy. Birth registration for son George lists Thomas' birthplace as Coolbanagher?
When they lived at Ballyduff the three youngest daughters were confirmed in St. Paul's Church, Portarlingon (May, 1898 and May 1901). In the 1901 census Thomas and Rebecca and their children William, Emily, Sarah and James were in Ballyduff. In 1911 they lived in Ballycullane with 2 of their children, Emily and James. Thomas was said to be 83, Rebecca 68.
Betty Meredith had told me Thomas was buried at Rosenallis, but she must have been referring to a different Thomas. Burial record is in Athy parish and says Thomas was a resident of "Birtown" at the time.
Note: Rebecca Strong; Married by license. PMK recorded date of 7 July whereas I recorded the date as 14 July?? Thomas Meredith, full age, farmer of Ballyduff, Stradbally parish, son of Samuel Meredith, farmer married Rebecca Strong, under age spinster of Shanbeg, Rosenallis parish, daughter of William Strong, farmer.
