Friends,
I am looking for information regarding Richard Hartford, father of Walter Hartford, the latter being christened in the Swords parish on 29 August 1766. Any additional information regards this family or individuals is greatly appreciated. I am trying to tie in or deconflict the Richard Hartford family located in Dublin's St. Michan parish at approximately the same time. The latter Richard included progeny named Walter as well. Thanks in advance!
The capital city of Ireland, Dublin aka Baile Átha Cliath, gives its name to the whole county. It is home to Guinness, Phoenix Park and the Book of Kells. We have a population of approximately 1,904,806. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
