I am a direct descendant of Richard of Nunmonkton and his father Thomas, but I don't know whether he came from Ireland or not.I know he was married at Burton Leonard in 1732, and had four children there (including Richard), but so far I can find no firm evidence of his origins, though there are quite a lot of records of Waddys baptised and buried at Ripon, including a couple of Thomases.
I am doing some research, and will let you know if anything comes up.I am inclined to think it's more likely that he came from Yorkshire, but it's not impossible that he links up with the Irish family.
