Tom Lefroy’s Children

My Visitation of Ireland finally arrives! I’m so happy! The book is bloody thick, like a 600 plus pages of a Harry Potter book. Full of nice family crests and who was who. Anyway, Linda has given me the list of the children of Thomas Langlois Lefroy and Mary Paul before, but I still waited for the book so that I can post the scanned pedigree that has the Jane Christmas name as well. Now, as the book has arrived, here’s the list of Tom Lefroy’s children.

1. Anthony Lefroy (21 March 1800 – 11 January 1890)

2. Jane Christmas Lefroy (24 June 1802 – 3 August 1896)

3. Anne Lefroy (25 April 1804 – 24 February 1885)

4. Thomas Paul Lefroy (31 December 1806 – 29 January 1891; later wrote the Memoir of Chief Justice Lefroy, published in 1871)

5. The Very Rev. Jeffry Lefroy (25 March 1809 – 10 December 1885)

6. George Thomson Lefroy (26 May 1811 – 19 March 1890)

7. Mary Elizabeth Lefroy (19 December 1817 – 23 January 1890)

There were another son (Benjamin, born March 25, 1815) that died in infancy. All of Tom Lefroy’s daughters (Jane, Anne and Mary) were never married. Weird, huh? Below is the scanned image of Tom's pedigree that contains his name and Jane Christmas Lefroy's. His pedigree is rather long, so I don't scan them all.

Linda has also tracked down the pedigree of Christmases and Pauls, and there is a possibility of Mary Paul’s grandfather named Christmas Paul (hence, Jeffry Paul’s father then). I will post it in another article once we fix the broken link of the Paul/Christmas family tree. If we cannot find the link, I will post it anyway with notes. By the way, in Visitation, Jeffry Paul is only mentioned in Tom Lefroy's page, and no mention of Christmas family either! Still, I got the pages that I want... and the entire book of Ireland pedigree, though not complete.
