Minchin Burgess

Modreeny (Tipperary)

I am hoping that someone might be able to help with information about Minchin Burgess . His daughter Jane, born about 1793 married Tappin Rudd , Abbey Mill owner in Roscrea and died aged 29 in 1816 . It is recorded on Jane’s tombstone at St Kieran’s Church of Ireland in Modreeny that her father was Minchin Burgess from Cloughjordan .

In the List of Freeholders of the County of Tipperary in the year 1776 Minchin Burgess as well as John Burgess Snr and John Burgess Jnr are listed, each with an abode and freehold land at Cloughjordan.

I can find no information on either of these ‘John’s and only the tombstone mention of Minchin. 

I am hoping to find information in regard to the spouse of Minchin Burgess and any other of his children beyond Jane and John Sr. - are there any records or references to them in history logs or journal articles in the Modreeny district ? 

 

Any clues or information will be greatly appreciated. I would love to visit but am unable to travel to Ireland at this stage.

thank you .

In the Tithe AppIotments in the 1820s, there were 4 Burgesses Iisted in Tipp and 23 men surnamed Minchin. These might give a cIue as to where your famiIy Iived.
