Hi everyone, Researching family tree. All I know is that the Orfords lived in Baden (sp?) Lodge in the Curragh. The only name I have is Patricia Orford. I don't even have a birthdate but I assume it to be around the 1900's. Does anyone know about these Orfords? i had a look in the 1901 census and there were quite a few in the Curragh back then. If I could just narrow it down to which ones lived in Baden Lodge I'd be able to go from there. There appears to be only 2 families of Orfords left in the Curragh in 1911 census so I am not sure where the rest of them disappeared to! For a name that isn't hugely common I am finding it quite a challenge to research and I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with this! Thanks! :)

Hi Guest
Baden Lodge is in Carna on the road to Suncroft, a lovely cottage in its day, but sadly un inhabited for some years.
An interview done with Mr Orford some years ago by Suncroft School Children re his experience of the War.
Other Orfords from the commons in Suncroft all gone now to best of my bad memory but listed on headstone in the cemetery in Suncroft.
Contact Margaret in the Parish Office Suncroft who might be of some assistance. Also google Orford name in Suncroft.
Good searching
Andy

Hi Guest I may have information if you're still looking. I am related to the original owners, the Orfords. If you post back here I can arrange to get info back to you.
Thanks
