Re: Thomas Molyneux and Catharine Slabbaert

I have researched Thomas Molyneux in past of hoping to see where he
might possibly fit into the Sefton, Lancashire family, but I have
never seen anything except guesses as to his placement.

What is most interesting is that this is not the only example of what
became an Irish family descending from a Belgian marriage. Ridgeley
Hatfield, Mayor of Dublin was married to Abigail (d. 1656), daughter
of John or Jan Bollardt of Antwerp. They had nine children including
Anne (d. 1688), wife of Henry St. George, M. P. for Roscommon
(1638-1723). Curiously their son Rev. Arthur St. George (1681-1772)
married Jane Molyneux of Castle Dillon, great-great granddaughter of
Thomas and Catherine/Katherine Molyneux from the first message.
