“The Stewart’s in Ireland Web Site”
The Stewart’s in Ireland Web Site has been created as a result of research into the family of John Stewart of Hortland Co. Kildare Ireland (by George V. Stewart the Administrator) who came to Ireland C.1820 to work for Sir William Hort of Hortland (formally known as Sculloguestown) Co Kildare Ireland.
During the research a large amount of information was gathered from a variety of both public and private sources for the following families: Stewart’s and various spellings, Fawcett and various spellings, Muldrew and Sinton, Odlum’s, Brazill’s, Bradish of Cork, Good of Cork, Wren of Cork, Dukelow of Cork, Valentine of Co Wicklow and the Fitzwilliam & Wentworth families of the Coollattin Estate of Co. Wicklow.
By placing all of this information on the Web, we are hopeful it will save other researchers a lot of time in visiting all of the various locations where information has been stored.
