Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Joynt is not a common surname in Ireland. In the mid-19th century more than half the Joynts were in Co. Mayo. There are very few church records in Ireland which go back to the 1700s so it would be difficult to pinpoint where you family lived whne in Ireland.

Thank you so much for getting back to me and also for the information.     I'm sorry I thought I had said that John and Edyth Joynt were from Killala, Co.

  Mayo. May 2016 be a good year for you.

Hi Val / Roger

your name has been annoying me as I could not remeber where I saw it before and thought it was on this site, however earlier I was looking over a site I visit from time to time and in case you have not seen it see this link.

http://www.celticcousins.net/joynt/index.htm Mainly about Joynt.

Good Luck

Val - delighted that you have been able to get the information above. I think we are all curious now.  Can you share any information on what happened to the family on reaching South Africa.  Those were very early days in British South Africa.

Sorry I have taken so long to respond but I had problems logging in.

 

Pat --  I found their children were listed there.

Mike - I have had no success tracing the arrival in South Africa of Peregrine Osborn Joynt or his marriage to Elizabeth Bridget Jones.   Their son Stephen Osborn was born in the Prince Albert district, I am not sure whether their other children were also born there or in Oudtshoorn.

Hi Val

I am a descendant of Peregrine Osborn Joynt (1) who married Elizabeth Bridget Jones, via their son Peregrine Osborne Joynt (ll) who married Elizabeth Jones Boyne, via their son Stephen Osborn and his wife Anna Margaretha Hendrika Steyn whose daughter Martha Catherine Joynt married my grandfather Robert Charles Hunter. There is an extensive Joynt family tree on familysearch.org.
