Uzell

Dear LynneandJohn:

Thank you for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board and welcome to the website!

Uzell is a surname that is associated with parts of Limerick as you stated due to the Palatine families that came into Ireland.

 

I do not see any reference to an Adam Uzell aged 82 death in Urlingford in 1879.  However, I do see a reference to a death for a Mary Uzell aged 96 in Urlingford in 1873.

The link for that page is HERE

In addition, you have commented about the surname still being in Urlingford. 

It does not apear to be from what I have been able to find.  However, there may be Uzell descendants still living in Urlingford.

I will copy your post to some of our Kilkenny volunteers to see if they can add anything to this.  In the meantime, you might consider creating a profile for Adam Uzell for the XO Chronicles (feature is located at the top of the page).  You can create a profile for him and add as much or as little information as you have.  Many of our members check in with these profiles weekly and we have had a number of successful outcomes with them making new connections.

If you have ay difficulties, please let me know.  You can email me at:  jhalloranryan@irelandxo.com.

 

All the best,

 

Jane.

Many thanks for this Christina.  I had come across this headstone but it never occurred to me to send for his death certificate or to look in newspapers.  I will post here if I find anything.

 Hello Leanne and John I have copy of burial records for Kilcooley Church, in Co Tipperary, and Adam Uzell (Renaghmore) burial is listed as you stated, 12/04/1879 also Jacob Uzell burial 08/02/1887.  3 more burials in 1931, 1947, 1943. but there is no one by that surname living in the parish at present. Adam's daughter who was a widow Elizabeth O'Brien married Adam Cooke in 1877.

Unfortunately we dont have any earlier parish  records but we do believe it to be a Palatine name as you have stated
