Ok I hoped to carry on with it, but the newsletter format is eluding
me at present so back to simple, having said that it’s often that simple,
uncomplicated is best, mind you not something that can be said about the
Colclough family, it’s anything but simple and uncomplicated.
But will carry on alphabetically with apologies for
duplication.

Viscount
Barnewall
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Viscount Barnewall, of Kingsland in the Parish
of Donabate in the County of Dublin, was a title in
the Peerage of Ireland.
It was created on 29 June 1646 for Nicholas
Barnewall, who had earlier represented County Dublin in the Irish House of Commons.
The Kingsland Barnewalls were a junior branch of the family of Baron Trimleston; Nicholas's great-grandfather
Sir Patrick
Barnewall had achieved political prominence through his friendship
with Thomas Cromwell and
done well out of the Dissolution of
the Monasteries . Nicholas was made Baron Turvey at the same
time, also in the Peerage of Ireland. His grandson, the third Viscount, was a
supporter of James II and
outlawed. However, he was restored under the Treaty of Limerick.
His son, the fourth Viscount, was a Roman Catholic and consequently
disqualified from taking his seat in the Irish House of Lords.
He was childless and was succeeded by his nephew, the fifth Viscount. He was
the son of the Honourable George Barnewall, younger son of the third Viscount.
He died unmarried in 1800 when the titles became dormant. They were
successfully claimed in 1814 by Matthew Barnewall, who became the sixth
Viscount. He was the great-grandson of the Honourable Richard Barnewall,
younger son of the first Viscount. However, he had no surviving male issue and
on his death in 1834 the titles are considered to have become extinct.
Captain Thomas Barnewall, great-grandson of Colonel James Barnewall,
younger son of the first Viscount, claimed the titles but the House of Lords never made a decision on the
matter.
The title was occasionally and informally written as "Lord Kingsland". cf * above

Ballygibbon
Place name Ballygibbon,
this one’s for me.
My traceable family to about the late 1780’s are living
here, there are I think still family in the area.
Bernie noted this in his addendum to BHD's documents. The Colclough families now living in Waterford, and Co.
Wexford near Mohurry are the descendants of Patrick Colclough of Ballygibbon
1818, whose father John Colclough born 1785 was a son of Patrick Colclough one
of the junior members of the Duffry branch.
More to follow, at least monthly

Still quiet on the DNA front, but huge numbers for my Donegal family :)
