Thanks Shona and Kite,
I think I will have to get some credits for the Irish info - Edwards children, at least some of them, are there also.
There is also a death in Ireland in 1891 which might be one of the girls, so that needs investigating.
Actually, now I look at it harder, a 1798 birth for Edward looks much more sensible that 1809 - he did say that he was 47 when he departed/arrived, but I doubt a poor flax growers son would have married when he was 20. And then he died in 1875 - in his late seventies rather than sixties, makes much more sense.
And that probably means Richard was born somewhat earlier than 1780, more like 1770 or earlier.
Luckily its school holidays here next two weeks and I don't have to work, so I can spend lots of time on-line and delve into OH's Irish ancestors !
Regards
Diane
