Meiler, the first Baron of Athenry is the center of all irish branches : ""Meiler, seigneur d'Athenry, de Carrick (comté de Kildare) et d'Ardnarea (comté de Sligo), fit construire le château d'Athenry (érigé approximativement entre 1235 et 1520, restauré il y a quelques années) ; il fonda le couvent des dominicains d'Athenry en 1241 (à la demande, dit-on, de saint Dominique qui était mort en 1221), dont la construction fut achevée en 1261"" After Meiler, there are 3 or 4 irish branches. We think, the french bermingham family came from Kildare. But we do not know exactly the name of "the immigrant". We think the spanish branch came also from Kildare. When they came in France (1560 ?), there name was : BRINDEJONC - it is a "french pronunciation for the bermingham. Their name was Bermingham, one century after. Actualy there are Two branches in France : Brindejonc de Bermingham (it's my name !) and Brindejonc de Treglode.
