My Email: Email Me Surname(s): Townsend
Given Name(s): John Year(s) Searching: c1800

Comments:
My wife's maiden name was Judith Townsend. The Townsend family is well documented here in Western Australia and in South Australia. Her great grandfather, John Townsend, died in Kapunda, South Australia, in 1875. He was born in Ireland c1800 and is first recorded in South Australia in 1849.However, we can't trace his birth. We know from his marriage certificate that his father's name was Henry, but we can't trace him either. We know from research at LDS centres and on line that there were numerous Towns nds in County Cork, but we haven't been able to link them with Henry Townsend and his son John, who may have been from Dublin. Neither John Townsend's South Australian marriage nor death certificate give a middle name. Nor do we have any record of the p ecise date at which he arrived in South Australia, only that he was here by 1849, when the birth of his first child was recorded. He may have had a wife living in Ireland, because, although he had several children, from 1849 onwards, he did not marry the r mother until 1865! This makes us speculate that he was not free to marry until then. Can you help? Best wishes, Edward Jones. syntax@eisa.net.au

Desire to know if it is possible that ancient celtic surnames derive from particularities from the families , words as high (ard)thin ,slender caol)and man( fear),can have formed a surname "ardcaolfear" or similar?. An old familiar history, say that the surname Harrington originates of these words , since their members were thin and high and that then it was anglicized in Harrington .
