Lucy Cuffe, daughter of John Cuffe and Sophia Badham
Was wondering if you have any info on Lucy Cuffe born 1757, daughter of John Cuffe and Sophia Badham. Am looking for the names of any children and names of parents and other info on her husband William Weldon. Any help would be much appreciated.

The marriage settlement was in 1792, therefore she was quite an old bride!. There is mention in "The Burton Papers" Carlow Library, to Lucy Cuffe and a John Crampton, so maybe she was married before. By the way, these papers are on the Internet, interesting reading for my Burton family. Also Lucy's mother was my ancestress, (Sophia Badham)

Re: Lucy Cuffe, daughter of John Cuffe and Sophia Badham
My ancestor Elizabeth Dudley (nee Thornhill) had seven children in Mitchelstown Co Cork in the 1830s and 1840s. I can't find her marriage or birth. She called her eldest daughter Frances. I wonder if it is possible that she is one of the daughters of Henry Badham-Thornhill and his wife Catherine O'Dell. He is supposed to have had several daughters before the birth of his heir Edward. I understand that the eldest daughter married Capt. John Welstead. Any help would be appreciated. Tricia Hilder

Hello Tricia,
I am sorry to say you have the wrong family here. The Frances Thornhill you mention is a few generations prior to Henry and Catherine (my gggg grandparents). But, yes, the Frances of the earlier generation did marry Capt John Welstead. The children of Catherine and Henry included Edward (the heir), my ggg grandmother, Mary Ann (who married Rev. B. B, Johnson), Sarah, who married William Ware (a neighbouring family), Caroline Catherine, and other boys.
Kind regards,
Jane Hills
The Mitchelstown Thornhill's were very distantly related, going back to the 1600's.
