Eylward, Windgap, Kilkenny, IRE

Posted: 19 Feb 2008 10:43AM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Aylward, Eylward, Elword, Elward, Elvert
John Eylward emigraged from Ireland 1850 +/-
Arrived in NY, moved to Mississippi Coast before
1853. His wife was a Moore - they were married
in IRE. He arrived in USA with four daughters,
Julia, Mary, Ellen, and Margaret.

The name is found in several variants within this
family in the US - Elward, Elword, Elvert. There is
no recollection of it ever being spelled Aylward,
but the is not to be ruled out - especially in IRE.
The girls were not literate in English when they
arrived in the US.

Any information is appreciated.

Cheers,
Anne Blanchard
