Hello Darrell,
I saw your posting to Barbara Salazar....I too have an interest in all persons DeRenzy, Derenzy, DeRenzie, Derinzy etc. Many variants of the name. My 2XGreat Grandmother was Ann Derenzy...born probably c1820. Place and parents unknown...she married James Holohan and was living in Bagenalstown Co. Carlow when they had son Thomas in 1845. I know the DeRenzy family were mostly found in Co. Wexford earlier. This is not a common name and I believe all with the name may stem from Matthew Derenzy who came to Ireland in the 1600's. He was born in Cologne, Germany. Love to hear back from you. patzipf@yahoo.com

Hi Barbara,

I have information about S. De Rinzy who did some exploring in Australia in 1859-60. He was said to have inherited a large fortune in Ireland and returned there in 1860. Is he of any interest to you? I would love to track down the journal he kept during his explorations but that may be a forlorn hope.

Regards,

Darrell Lewis

I have found out that my Fullertons and Dunnes probably come from the Clane area of County Kildare. Fullerton may actually be Fullard or Folliard.

Can't help you with dunnes and fullertons, but Irish De Renzis, yes. Try this, obtained from the mcguinness site on 'Who is the mother of Thomas Palmer?': Ryall, Charles W. 2001a. "Descendants of Mathew de Renzi, of Cloghbamen." Available at http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com (30 March).

DeRENZIE/ FULLERTON/ DUNNE Ireland

ausgenjourneys — 2005-12-28 03:55:56Z

Hi,
I am researching my FULLERTON ancestors. William FULLERTON (b.c.1815) m.c.1839 Mary DUNNE (b.c.1819).
William and Mary emigrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1840 on the "Himalaya". The "Himalaya" Passenger list says they were from County Kildare, Ireland. I have been unable to find any details of their parents or birth place from any sources.

2 of William and Mary's grandchildren have the name De Renzie.

De Renzie Percival FULLERTON and
John Percival De Renzie BROWN.

There is a family story that someone (a FULLERTON or a DUNNE??) was in the "Spanish War" (The Peninsula War perhaps?) and met and married a girl named Marcella DeRENZIE. I haven't been able to find any evidence that DeRENZIE is Spanish, and there do seem to be DeRENZIE's from Ireland...
Any help with this mystery would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Aillin,
Australia
