Thomas Prendergast,1799, Nfld., Canada
Thomas, James and William Prendergast lived in Cape Broyle, Newfoundland, Canada, in 1799 and were employed as fishermen. I am trying to make the connection back to Ireland. Some of the names of their children are Edward, Joseph, Michael, James, John and Denis. There are also two soldiers listed in 1782. One was Sgt. William Prendergast and the other was Maurice Prendergast. Maurice was listed as Absent Without Leave. There is also a
Mary Prendergast listed who was born in 1813.
In 1800, the Cape Broyle Census listed a Thomas Prendergast married to Mary. Their children were Denis, aged 4 and Mary, aged 1.
There were orphans living with them. Their names were Bridget Mulloney, aged 6 and Catherine Mulloney, aged 4. Also living with them were Sarah Drohan, Catherine Drohan, aged 19 and Elenor Drohan, aged 16.
I would love to hear from anyone concerning the Prendergast family.
