And am I a Carlow man now?

Well, perhaps not, but it appears that the peripateticity of my ancestors took them further south from Louth than just Dublin.

It seems one Edward Bellingham was resident at Leighlinbridge Castle in 1547. Next time I'm in the region, I'll have to track it down.

yell if you are in the area though cause it's near my home town and I could swing up to meet....

It's not likely to happen this year, and probably not next, unless we do what we've done before which is to take the ferry to Rosslare with clanwilliam and gmh, swinging past her parents.

But if we're down your way, we'll let you know.

(Though I had assumed you were further down Cork way.)

Oh I live in Cork, by the city - but home is Kilkenny.

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Ah, I get you.

So you're a Kilkenny Kate?

(Yes, it takes me a while sometimes.)
