Lord Family of Kells

MeathKells (Meath)

Hullo

As part of my broader research on my mother's side i have come across the family of Robert Lord who married Ellen/Eleanor Mullin in St Columbkille's, Kells 26 April 1838. With a number of children they emigrated to South Australia about 1863. Robert was a Tailor. Two sons were Robert (fourth son) born about 1850 (died Melbourne Vic, 1885) and Arthur Austin Lord, born about 1855 who married my Great Great Aunt Ellen Wilson in Adelaide 18 february 1882. The marriage info comes from a news article when Robert and Ellen celebrated thier Diamond wedding anniversary in 1898.

I have found a couple of Griffiths Val'n ref's for Townparks and GrangegoddanGlebe.

Is therre anyone looking at this family?

Hello there cousin!

I am a g-g-granddaughter of Robert and Eleanor(Ellen) Lord through their youngest (of 15)children, Ernest Archdale Lord. Eight of the children emigrated to South Australia with them, and the last 2 were born there in Kapunda. I have an extensive family tree mapped out, so feel free to contact me. If you have an Ancestory account my tree is public.

Regards,

Cathy Glover
