We also have a Richard Longfield Cornelius who was from Castletown, Co. Laois who emigrated to New Zealand (Timaru, Canterbury)in 1874.I'm thinking that the name Longfield came from the name "Long" - Richard's mother's (Emma Fitzgerald) mother was a Long (Elinor) but again, we don't have any more info where the Longfield name was derived. I would suggest however contacting Rosemary Cryer at [email protected] is the owner of the Cornelius-Shields tree and is extremely knowledgeable about all sides of the family, whether they were from Ireland, England, NZ, Australia, etc. We know of several current families living in Australia/NZ who could be connected.
