Thanks for this wonderful site regarding Paulstown. As I live in Australia, information regarding Paulstown can be difficult to come by. My ancestors also lived in the Paulstown area, from the late 1600s to c1900. My great great grandfather was William Flood (1817-1885) who lived in Paulstown Castle until his death. The family eventually sold the castle to the Healy family in 1892. I also had relatives living at Viewmount, Floodhall & Farmley (formerly Burn(t)church) all near Paulstown. William’s 2 sons (William and Ernest) both emigrated to Australia in 1856 and 1862 respectively.

Keep up the great work,

Regards,

Neville Flood
