Does any one know or have any information on the Cotterill/Cottrill family who workedon the Dunsany Castle estate or lived , may still live,in Dunsany? I am still searching for information about my Grandmother Kathleen Kearns ( born Ferns about 1898) Her sister married a Cotterill/Cottrill.
Many thanks
Carol
Dear Carol
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
As a starting point have you already looked at the 1901 and 1911 Census?

I wonder if you contacted the Estate could they tell you if they had deposited the family papers/archive in the county archives/elsewhere. There may be mention of employees/staff of the Estate in any papers; a long shot, but you never know!
Let us know if you learn anything new
Best wishes

Hello Tom
Thank you for your reply. I have managed to gather some information about extended family. I find that Tommy, Harry, Greta and Nancy were my fathers cousins. Are they in your family tree?
Warm regards
Carol
