BIRTHS
At Emmadale, Six-mile-bridge, county Clare, the lady of John Ormsby Stenson, Esq. of a daughter.

Another piece of the puzzle. I am guessing that Emmadale is the same place as Emma Vale and is in Six Mile Bridge, so maybe it is the name of a house.

Thanks Declan, I havent looked in Burkes peerage. The people you find in there aren't the people I usually associate with

Thanks again Paddy, Thats another piece of the jigsaw
Cheers

I have subscribed. Have found some references to my Stenson line. My wifes family history is predominately English so I might turn up info of use in that regard.
I enjoy looking at old newspapers for general historical stories.
Trove here in Australia is free and that has been very useful for me.

This is what fascinates me about the emigrants is how did they choose where to go.
