Edward Roycroft (1859-1923) of Tunnagh aka Tawnagh, Sooey, was the son of Elizabeth Roycroft (1837-1907). Sarah Roycroft was his sister (1867-1919).

  • In 1877 an Edward Roycroft (Church of Ireland) from "near Sooey" died. Presumably their father. 
  • In 1901, there were 3 Roycroft households in Tunnagh, Riverstown, Co. Sligo (Ballynakill). These families were descended from Charles & Richard Roycroft who were recorded here in 1858 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The Roycroft name has endured in Tunnagh to this day. 

At the time of auction following his death, Edward's holding amounted to about 4 Irish acres, with a good cottage. [Sligo Champion - 11 August 1923].
