Commerford's

Our branch of the Commerford family hail from Templemore County Tipperary Ireland so I am told. From there they emmigrated to South Africa and ultimately Rhodesia (Zimbabwe).

I would like to conduct a one name study of this surname as family folklore has it that all the Commerfords are some how related - I would love to hear from anyone interested in putting this family "jig-saw" puzzle together.

Hello everyone. I have recently got a bit further with my COMMERFORD tree. John James COMMERFORD was born in Wexford in Ireland in 1802. He married Emily (?) from Gosport, was variously a Mariner, Musician, Mason and Bricklayer. Between 1841 and 1851 they lived in Jersey in the Channel Islands.They had at least 6 children: John James b. 1830, Emily b. 1833, Caroline b. 1839, Edward William b. 1840, Louisa b. 1844, and Harriet b. 1846. Louisa COMMERFORD married Henry William FLOWERDAY in 1862 in Alverstoke, Hampshire, England and Charles FISHER in 1875 in Chiswick, Middlesex, England. Her brother Edward appears to have married Ann Penny BEECHAM in 1868 in Portsea, Hampshire, England.

I am seeking information on John Commerford, cabinet and chair maker in Brooklyn in 1830, then moved into New York City. He lived and worked there for many years. Wife was Mary and had a son, Charles Commerford of the same craft, though early playing professional baseball then clerking. Charles moved to Connecticut and I believe John went there in the later 1870s. John Commerford ran for U.S. Congress on the Lower East Side of New York on various third party tickets including the Republican in 1860.
