My Dear daughter-in-law, who is 6th generation South African, is trying to get hold of a copy of the above book.
The full title is:
Crofton Memoirs, Account of John Crofton of Ballymurray, Co. Roscommon.
The book was published in York in 1911.
The Croftons were an Anglo-Irish family who went to Ireland in the 16th century firstly in the Roscommon area but latterly in Dublin.
John Crofton apparently "went to Ireland in the train of Sir Henry Sidney in 1565,.... and was holding office as Clerk to the Connaught Council in 1569"
On the recent death of her father my daughter-in-law went back to South Africa for the funeral and was able to photocopy part of the book which had passed to her elder brother.
She made me a very proud grandfather last June, producing Crofton James K and would like to get hold of a copy of the book for him.
Any ideas, web addresses of antiquarian book sellers (should that be sellers of antiquarian books?) would be appreciated.
Thanks
BillK
