Proving Lineage of Our Cloncunny Briscoes


There appears to be no question that Edward Briscoe of the Cloncunny Briscoes descended from the Brisco(e)s of Cumberland, the details that remain unclear are the intervening generations.

It is a commonly held view that Henry Briscoe of Backborough (Tybraughney) and his cousin Abigail Briscoe were the parents of Edward Briscoe who was born c.1813. Henry was the son of Edward Briscoe of Tinnakilly who died in 1709.
The other possibility, which I tend to favour, is that our Edward Briscoe is the one who was born c.1718 at Garrynarea, the son of John Briscoe and Margaret Bowen. John was the younger son of Edward of Tinnakilly.

In the absence of definitive birth records I have relied on details of property/residences to indicate family descendancy.

If proof of descendancy is available I would welcome it.
