Classification: Query
Surnames: Leigh Nugent
My family lived in the Enniskerry area between 1877 and 1890. My great-grandfater was named John Leigh (b.1853) married to Mary Ann Nugent (b.1855) in 1877. Their children were Esther Mary, Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth, Catherine, Ellen, Margaret Mary, Denis, Louis, Joseph, William John, and Alexander. I believe John Leigh had a brother named James who married a Catherine. These names are one generation off of the Leighs that came to Maine and Wisconsin. My Leighs lived at the Ballybawn House west of Enniskerry. John Leigh was a farmer (gardener?). The family moved to South Dublin after 1890 and to Preston, Lancashire around 1905.
The James Leigh family remained in the area of Enniskerry, Kildare, and Bray.
