This is one of those rambling posts about families I'm only vaguely related to. I used online records, primarily the Irish Census and the Wills Calendars, freely available on the National Archives site, as well as the church records, freely available on the Irish Genealogy site, the LDS site, and much googling. It starts with the family of Frederick and Mary Courtenay of 27 Wellington Street....
http://alison-stewart.blogspot.ie/2012/10/the-children-of-frederick-and-mary.html
Adelaide Anne Courtenay, baptised 10th August 1831, born at 47 Moore Street, was the daughter of Frederick and Mary Courtenay. Adelaide Anne Courtenay married a commercial clerk, George Hall, who was the son of Andrew Hall, on 12th October 1851.
George Hall had been born to Andrew Hall in Bray, Co.Wicklow.
Albert Andrew Hall, born 11th January 1872 to George Hall and Adelaide Anne Courtenay; when Albert Andrew Hall married Eveline Beatrice Forster in 1901, he was noted as the secretary of a limited company - the couple were living at 29 Corrig Avenue, Dunlaoghaire, then called Kingstown, in 1911.
Eveline Beatrice Forster had been born on 15th July 1871 in Donnybrook, Dublin, to Ralph Moore Forster (1817 - 12th April 1877) and to Emma Matilda Supple. Eveline's parents had married in St. Mary's on 9th September 1861 - their fathers were Thomas Forster and Frederick Austin Supple.
The Forster Family of Broomhill, Ballinagh, Co. Cavan:
Ralph Moore Forster of Broomhill, Cavan (1817 - 12th April 1877), a clerk in the Record Office, and Emma Matilda Supple had the following recorded children:
1) Thomas Frederick Forster was born in 1864, and married in St. Mary's, Dublin, on 24 February 1892, Mary Anne Spotten/Spotton, the daughter of James Spotten of Ballinagh, Co. Cavan. Witnesses: J.W. Jolley and Jane L. Jolley. Thomas Frederick farmed at Broomhill, Ballinagh, Co. Cavan. According to the census, the children of this couple were:
a) Jennie Loftus Forster, born Cavan 1893.
b) Violet Marrian Forster, born Cavan 1894.
c) William Frederick Augustus Forster, born Cavan 1896. He was named after his paternal great-uncle, William Frederick Augustus Forster of Broomhill, Co. Cavan, who died on 25th August 1881 - his widow was Emma Forster of Ellen Lodge, Dalkey, Co. Dublin. He had been born in 1815 and was contemporary with Ralph Moore Forster who had been born in 1817 in the same place.
d) Rebecca Matilda Forster, born Cavan 1899.
NB: Thomas Frederick Forster of Broomhill proved the will of another member of the Forster family, namely Mary Forster of Crosshue, Co. Wexford, who died on 7th May 1876 when Thomas Frederick was only 12. She was the wife of Thomas Forster of Crosshue, Co. Wexford, who died there on 16th March 1886, and his will named his nephew as Thomas Frederick Forster of Broomhill. Mary had been born in 1819, her husband, Thomas Forster in 1812, which makes him contemporary with Ralph Moore Forster and William Frederick Augustus Forster, all three possibly brothers.
2) Ralph Moore Forster, born Dublin, circa 1864. He married Eliza Jane Spotton/Spotten who was the sister of his sister-in-law, Mary Anne Spotten. Ralph Moore Forster was the executor of his father-in-law's will when James Spotton died in February 1910 at Blacklion, Co. Cavan. The children of Ralph Moore Forster and Eliza Jane Spotton were:
a) Rebecca Matilda Forster, born circa 1901 in Cavan. She shared a name with her cousin.
b) Anna Richardson Forster, born Cavan 1903.
c) Frederick Frood Forster, born Cavan 1906.
3) Emily Maude Forster, born in Dublin in 1869. She married, in St. Thomas's, Dublin, on 16 February 1892, John George Foster (NOT Forster), who also originated in Ballinagh, Co. Cavan, and who was the son of a farmer John Foster. The Forsters and Fosters of Ballinagh may well be the same family with different spellings. The witnesses were Emily's brother, Thomas Frederick Forster, and Jane F. Jolley. The couple settled and farmed at Corduff, Ballintemple, Cavan and had numerous children, of whom seven were still alive in 1911:
a) John F. B.G. Foster, born Cavan 1892.
b) Ralph Moore Foster, born Cavan 1894.
c) William Graham Foster, born Cavan 1896.
d) Supple George Foster, born Cavan 1899.
e) James White Foster, born Cavan 1900.
f) Eliza Jane Foster, born Cavan 1906.
g) Thomas Henry Foster, born Cavan 1908.
4) Eveline Beatrice Forster born 15 July 1871 51 Grand Canal Street, Dublin. She married Albert Andrew Hall in 1901.
Ralph Moore Forster of Broomhill, Co. Cavan, died in Dublin at 86 Haddington Road on 12th April 1877; when his widow, Emma Matilda Forster, née Supple, proved his will, she was living at 14 Richmond Avenue, Fairview, Co. Dublin.
The Supple Family of Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath:
To return to Eveline Beatrice Forster who married Albert Andrew Hall in 1901, she was the daughter of Ralph Moore Forster of Broomhill, Cavan, and of Emma Matilda Supple of Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath.
Emma Matilda Supple was the daughter of Frederick Austin Supple (1843 - 25th January 1863) and Anna Maria (possibly Nickson/Nixon) of Dunshaughlin.
Frederick Augustus Supple, was born to a Frederick and Maria Anna Supple at Wynnefield Place, Rathmines, Co. Dublin on 23 August 1843. This may well be Frederick Austin Supple himself, since his registration of death notes his year of birth as 1843.
The older Frederick Supple was earlier noted in 1827 at Dunshaughlin, Rathreegan, Gathanisca, in Meath. A headstone in Dunshaughlin commemorates the early members of the Supple family, and was erected by W.R. Supple in memory of his brother, David Wilson Supple and other members of his family 1698 - 1876. They were noted on the tombstone as follows:
Patrick Supple 1779.
John Supple 1807.
Anne Supple 1821.
Walter William Supple 1825.
David Supple, Major 17th Light Dragoons 1829.
Caroline Supple 1834.
Patrick Supple was noted as J.P. of Dunshaughlin - his death was announced in The Gentlemans Magazine of 1779. Griffiths Valuations noted both Frederick A. Supple and David W. Supple in Main Street, Dunshaughlin.
On 1st Aug 1855, in Clonturk, North Co. Dublin, Anna Maria Supple, the daughter of Frederick Supple, married William Richardson, son of William Richardson. Anna Maria Richardson was therefore the sister of Frederick Austin Supple. Frederick Austin Supple of Dunshaughlin died at Glasnevin, Dublin, on 25th January 1863, and his will was proved by William Richardson, Proctor of the Admiralty, resident in Belgium, and by Thomas Nicholson Frood of 41 Bushfield Avenue, Dublin. The daughter of Frederick Austin Supple, Jane Nickson Supple, married on 6th June 1857, Thomas Nicholson Frood, the son of Thomas Nicholson Frood.
David Wilson Supple (1805 - 1876) of Dunshaughlin Castle died on 8th June 1876, and his will was proved by his brother William Rathborne Supple Senior of Juneville, Dunleer, Co Louth. (Given the dates, David Wilson Supple and William Rathborne Supple, were possibly the brothers of Frederick Supple Senior, and the uncles of Frederick Austin Supple.) In his turn, William Rathborne Supple Senior died on 6th March 1895 and his own will was proved by his son, Rev. William Rathborne Supple of 8 Clyde Road, who was the curate of St. Bartholomew's, Clyde Road.
In 1901, Rev. William Rathborne Supple was living at 21 Clyde Road, which was later occupied by Rev. John Grogan and his family, who also had links to the Courtenay family. This was probably pure coincidence. Rev. William Rathborne Supple (Junior) married Elizabeth Mary Garner, the daughter of Samuel Hartwell Garner MD who died in Segowlie, India on 23rd July 1857. At this time, Rev. William Rathborne Supple was stationed in Gorey, Co. Wexford. Children of Rev. William R. Supple and Elizabeth Mary Garner were St. George Rathborne Supple who was born on 30th July 1873 in Limerick, and William Hamilton Supple who was born on 23rd March 1878 at Coleman, or Arthurstown, Co. Wexford. A daughter, Eileen Supple, was born circa 1882 in Arthurstown, Wexford. Both Eileen and William Hamilton Supple were living abroad in 1911 - Eileen was in Ealing and William was in India with the army. William Hamilton Supple (28 March 1878-1972, died in Hampshire, UK) gradulated from Dublin University and was commissioned in 1900 as a Second Lieutenant fighting with the Dublin Fusiliers in the South African Boer war. Second Lieutenant in 1901 and Captain in 1908. Seconded to Liberia and serviced in the Frontier Field Force after WWI. Served with the Fusiliers through WWI with final promoton to Lt. Colonel, attached to the Royal Army Ordnance Corps for a time and retired when the Fusiliers were disbanded in 1922, following the separation of Ireland from Great Britain.
The wills calendars, online via the National Archives site, provide invaluable information...Dr. Robert Harrison Supple died at 14 Fair Street, Drogheda, Co. Louth, on 1st September 1903, with administration to Rev. William Rathborne Supple and Irene Constance Mabel Supple. Robert Harrison Supple was born in Co. Louth, most likely to William Rathborne Supple Senior of Dunleer, Co. Louth. Robert married Elizabeth Johnston. Their children were Mary Frances Supple, born Louth 17th January 1870, William Robert Supple born Louth 1st May 1871, Irene Supple, born 1875, Margaret born Louth 3rd January 1878.
The Frood Family:
The daughter of Frederick Austin Supple, Jane Nickson Supple, married on 6th June 1857, Thomas Nicholson Frood (1835 - 1915) the son of Thomas Ellis Frood and Elizabeth Frood of Fortview, Clontarf, North Co. Dublin.
The children of Thomas Ellis Frood and Elizabeth Frood were:
a) Thomas Nicholson Frood born Co. Cavan in 1835, died 1915, who married Jane Nickson Supple in 1857.
b) Twins James Wallace Frood and Angelina Frood, born Clontarf , 4 July 1841.
c) William Gore or Gore William Frood, born 8 March 1844 in Clontarf.
Thomas Ellis Frood died on 13th September 1868 at Richardson Street, London; his sons, Thomas Nicholson Frood and Gore William Frood, were the executors of his will.
The children of Thomas Nicholson Frood, wine merchant, and Jane Nickson Supple were all born at 41 Bushfield Avenue, Donnybrook, Dublin:
a) Eveline Maude, born 1864, died 18 months later on 4th March 1866.
b) Caroline Frances Frood, born circa 1871, Dublin.
c) Gore William Frood, named after an uncle, born 1874.
d) Rosanna Hassard Frood, 1876.
e) Eveline Beatrice Frood, 1877. She would marry, on 16 May 1899, Kevin McNally MD, son of Lawrence McNally - the witnesses were her first cousin Eveline Beatrice Forster and Albert Andrew Hall, who would themselves marry in 1901.
f) James Arthur Supple Frood, 25 January 1881.
g) Helen Gillespie Frood, 1885 at 43 Marlborough Road.
h) Harriet Helena Frood, who married William de la Ware Hemsworth, a clerk in the Bank of Ireland, and son of William Garrett Hemsworth of 25 Kenilworth Rd., on 3 January 1887. The witnesses were J. M. Frood and M.G.L. Hemsworth.
Thomas Nicholson Frood and Jane Nickson Frood were living in Henrietta Terrace, Dalkey, in both 1901 and 1911. Thomas died on 13 January 1915, with probate to his son-in-law, William de la Ware Hemsworth, and to Henry G. Owens. His wife, Jane Nickson Frood, died on 19th Oct. 1922 aged 85. They were buried in Mount Jerome.
Of interest: On 17 August 1850 in Clontarf, Lucinda Sarah Frood, the daughter of Major James Nicholson Frood, married William Fenton, the son of Richard Fenton of Kiltegan, Co. Wicklow. The witnesses were W.T. Frood and William Courtenay. William Courtenay was a member of the same Courtenay family as Andrew Albert Hall, and had links to the Fenton family.
Throughout the 1830s, mention was made of Major James N. Frood at Dundalk, Co. Louth - his grandson married in New Zealand. This was also James N. Frood, LRCSI, who married on 10th September 1878 in Waipukurau, New Zealand, Mary Catherine Isabella Campbell, the daughter of J.H. Campbell of Waiapu. His grandfather may be the Mr. James N. Frood aged 34 years, a passenger on the 'Prince Rupert' who drowned helping the stricken 'Bucephalus' which sank en route to New Zealand on the 4th /5th September 1841.
Major James Nicholson Frood had married, in 1818, Sarah Stewart of Ballydrain, Co. Down - a daughter, who remained in Ireland, was Harriette Louisa Frood (1825 - 1912) who died in the Marlborough Home, Rathmines, Dublin, on 9th May 1912 with probate to a married woman, Lucinda H. Drury. In 1901, Harriette Louisa Frood appeared on the census alongside her niece, Lucy N. Fenton of Wicklow.
Given the re-use of the name 'Nicholson' here, I suppose this last Frood family must be related to the previous one...
Notes on the family of Dr. Kevin McNally who married Eveline Beatrice Frood on 16 May 1899:
The first members of this family that I managed to source on www.irishgenealogy.ie were Kevin's grandparents, Laurence McNally and Mary Dillon, who married in St. Andrew's Catholic Church, Dublin, on 22nd February 1808, the witnesses being John and Alice Dillon. The name 'Dillon' would reverberate through the following generations, helping to identify them.
On 3rd June 1823, Laurence and Mary McNally witnessed the wedding of Francis Dillon and Anne Lawlor in St. Andrew's.
Laurence McNally (the father of Dr. Kevin McNally) was born to Laurence McNally and Mary Dillon in 1819, and was baptised the same year in St. Andrew's. The first child must have died since a second Laurence McNally was baptised in the same church by the same couple later in 1828. Other children baptised by Laurence and Mary McNally in St. Andrew's were John in 1810, Catherine in 1814, Bartholomew in 1817, Jacob in 1820, Agnetm (?) in 1828, Francis in 1828 and Alice in 1828, the last three were born elsewhere and baptised later on the same day, I presume....
The son of Laurence McNally and Mary Dillon, Laurence McNally Junior, married Mary Maguire in the Pro-Cathedral, Marloborough Street, on 25th April 1868. Both were resident at the McNally family home, 77 Lower Gardiner Street, and the witnesses were William Purcell, Bernard Rispin and Anna Maguire. Mary was the daughter of Thomas and Catherine Maguire.
Laurence McNally and Mary Maguire settled at 11 Richmond Place where their children were born:
a) Mary Catherine McNally was born 31st May 1869; the baptism occurred in St. Agathas; the sponsors were Catherine McNally and Robert Spence.
b) Evelina Maude Patricia McNally was born 25th March 1873; sponsors were Cornelius Joseph Maguire and Mary Theresa Dunne.
c) Florence Emily McNally, born 10th May 1875; baptism sponsor was Thomas McNally.
d) Christina Mary Adelaide McNally, born 10th May 1876; sponsor was Stanislaus Maguire.
e) Kevin, born 15th May 1877, and was baptised as Frederick Charles Kevin Dillon McNally in St. Agatha's. The sponsors were Bernard Rispin and Catherine McNally. He would later marry Eveline Beatrice Frood.
Another family related to the above McNallys was the family of Thomas McNally and Catherine Maguire. When their daughter, Mary Augusta McNally was born on 7th January 1873, they were living at 77 Lower Gardiner Street, the home of Laurence McNally when he married Maria Maguire. Thomas was most likely Laurence's brother therefore. The children of Thomas and Catherine McNally were:
Kathleen Mary Baptiste McNally, born 27th December 1869, sponsors were Laurence McNally, Emily Maguire and William Purcell.
Mary Augusta McNally, born on 7th January 1873, sponsors were Stanislaus Maguire, Mary McNally and William Purcell.
Eugenia Mary Clothide McNally, norn 25th March 1874.
Thomas Laurence Mario Dillon McNally, born 14th February 1875. (Later a dentist....)
Irene Annie Henrietta Maria McNally, born 12th April 1878.

Drury. In 1901, Harriette Louisa Frood appeared on the census alongside her niece, Lucy N. Fenton of Wicklow.
Given the re-use of the name 'Nicholson' here, I suppose this last Frood family must be related to the previous one...
Notes on the family of Dr. Kevin McNally who married Eveline Beatrice Frood on 16 May 1899:
The first members of this family that I managed to source on www.irishgenealogy.ie were Kevin's grandparents, Laurence McNally and Mary Dillon, who married in St. Andrew's Catholic Church, Dublin, on 22nd February 1808, the witnesses being John and Alice Dillon. The name 'Dillon' would reverberate through the following generations, helping to identify them.
On 3rd June 1823, Laurence and Mary McNally witnessed the wedding of Francis Dillon and Anne Lawlor in St. Andrew's.
Laurence McNally (the father of Dr. Kevin McNally) was born to Laurence McNally and Mary Dillon in 1819, and was baptised the same year in St. Andrew's. The first child must have died since a second Laurence McNally was baptised in the same church by the same couple later in 1828. Other children baptised by Laurence and Mary McNally in St. Andrew's were John in 1810, Catherine in 1814, Bartholomew in 1817, Jacob in 1820, Agnetm (?) in 1828, Francis in 1828 and Alice in 1828, the last three were born elsewhere and baptised later on the same day, I presume....
The son of Laurence McNally and Mary Dillon, Laurence McNally Junior, married Mary Maguire in the Pro-Cathedral, Marloborough Street, on 25th April 1868. Both were resident at the McNally family home, 77 Lower Gardiner Street, and the witnesses were William Purcell, Bernard Rispin and Anna Maguire. Mary was the daughter of Thomas and Catherine Maguire.
Laurence McNally and Mary Maguire settled at 11 Richmond Place where their children were born:
a) Mary Catherine McNally was born 31st May 1869; the baptism occurred in St. Agathas; the sponsors were Catherine McNally and Robert Spence.
b) Evelina Maude Patricia McNally was born 25th March 1873; sponsors were Cornelius Joseph Maguire and Mary Theresa Dunne.
c) Florence Emily McNally, born 10th May 1875; baptism sponsor was Thomas McNally.
d) Christina Mary Adelaide McNally, born 10th May 1876; sponsor was Stanislaus Maguire.
e) Kevin, born 15th May 1877, and was baptised as Frederick Charles Kevin Dillon McNally in St. Agatha's. The sponsors were Bernard Rispin and Catherine McNally. He would later marry Eveline Beatrice Frood.
Another family related to the above McNallys was the family of Thomas McNally and Catherine Maguire. When their daughter, Mary Augusta McNally was born on 7th January 1873, they were living at 77 Lower Gardiner Street, the home of Laurence McNally when he married Maria Maguire. Thomas was most likely Laurence's brother therefore. The children of Thomas and Catherine McNally were:
Kathleen Mary Baptiste McNally, born 27th December 1869, sponsors were Laurence McNally, Emily Maguire and William Purcell.
Mary Augusta McNally, born on 7th January 1873, sponsors were Stanislaus Maguire, Mary McNally and William Purcell.
Eugenia Mary Clothide McNally, norn 25th March 1874.
Thomas Laurence Mario Dillon McNally, born 14th February 1875. (Later a dentist....)
Irene Annie Henrietta Maria McNally, born 12th April 1878.
