will get back tomorrow with some more info if I find any, a few years ago I answered a query on this site re Shallcross in Drogheda for a lady assume it is not yourself.

I have searched here for the names and found Bashford, living in Fair Street, a good address at the time as the RC archbishop lived in it, but this link to Church of Ireland for St Peters Parish Drogheda in Louth, it is on the north side of the Boyne river in Armagh diocese as is almost all of Louth. https://www.ireland.anglican.org/about/rcb-library/online-parish-record….

You should get some hits on the names on this site except the Rump(h) one and I do not see even a close one. http://www.jbhall.freeservers.com/

I have an extract from the headstones of St Marys Church of Ireland (Protestant) in Drogheda, Meath Diocese and found no headstones for the names, I will check the ones for St Peters soon but I do not not have that book. Do you have any more information on religion, names suggest Protestant, year etc there are numerous local publications which may yield results if there was more information available.

Regards
Pat

you will get Shallcross in St Peters list also, see baptisms of 3 Shallcross children in it with address in Fair Street twice and then address is just Dundalk for middle child I think.  Father listed as an engineer.

Me Again

Richard the beauty of an odd name, I was searching for a Jones marriage and came across this one of a Lawrence Jones in Lobinstown, Co. Meath in July 1848, the spouse is Margaret Bashford, no addess given, one witness is a James Bashford and a Patrick Meade, it is a Catholic marriage and I see at least 3 children, Edward 1852; James 1854 and Mary 1855.

There are also 6 Bashford baptisms to I think three different marriages, 1847 to 1857 all in Lobinstown.

Just chanced across them so hope they assist your research.
