Wonderful. I was trying to start another article but life got in the way and that it was harder to find any new information. I'll sure be keen to get anymore history.

I have a Joannes Field in Fedamore Limerick married to Brigida Kennedy in 1787, I think his father was Patrick possibly married to a Catherine Ryan.

Found these mentions:

The Cromwellian Settlement of County of Limerick:

John Field & Wm. Thompson (Grantees) at Dourlass, Corcomohide and Clonecreane Parish, Limerick.

John Field & Wm. Thompson (Grantees) at Kilmiteria, Corcomohide and Clonecreane Parish, Limerick.

Paper (name not mentioned) 8/1/1832:

"DEATHS

At Bantry, of cholera, John Field, Esq. Surgeon."

In the Old Limerick Journal, the article "John Ferrar's Limerick City Dicectory - 1788" mentions:

Patrick Field owned a livery stable at the Square, Newtown Pery.

I hope that helps.

Hi Daniel, I’m intrigued with you search database. I understand that we are related way back sometime in mid 1700’s, which is a bit of a black hole with all the record sets I have researched to date.

Could I ask a favour of you?

I am looking to locate “Field” ancestors who possibly married Ryan’s from the Limerick/Tipperary areas around the 1700s.

Could you please do a quick search on your database to see if something is there, Male Field marrying female Ryan.

Thanks

I did find a few things looking around. I just noticed your other post, so I'll do another search.

The 1659 Census has:

John Feild gent of Killmacanirly, Clouncha Parish, Connlogh Barony, Limerick.

The Tipperary Hearth Money records for 1665:

Thomas Field, Cloghonan, Templederry, Tipperary.

Willm Field, Glanagh, Aghavamedill, Tipperary.

There is a "Dictionary of Irish biography : from the earliest times to the year 2002 [9 volumes], edited by James McGuire, James Quinn" which I don't have access to. It mentions: "Thomas Field (Fehily)".

Happy to help. But these are very common words in the database. It doesn't help there is a lot of sporting articles that mention "field". Do you have a full name or a townland?

This is still a brick wall for me.

I haven’t been able find any dna links on the “Field” lineage from before this point. I do have strong Ryan and Kennedy dna links to Capamore area.

My email address is:

bfeild@gmail.com

Don’t worry this spelling is correct, the surname changed for some reason when my ggf, Daniel Field, came out to Australia in 1878.
