Probably is an English name and all! Much like his buddy in corner back Johnny Cooper with another Sasanach name! Typical Dubs! MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 11/06/2019 20:04:31 2193667 Link 6 |

Cluxton was a Scottish name associated with Scots Covenanters (Presbyterians - Clugston) who settled in Ulster at the plantation. Cluxton's particular lot originated in Kildare in 18th century. But sure what does it matter! All names have a history arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 11/06/2019 21:21:17 2193692 Link 1 |
I'll just leave this here to educate the ignorant/xenophobic amongst our numbers Clifford Name Meaning. English: habitational name from any of various places called Clifford, for example in Devon, Gloucestershire, West Yorkshire, and in particular Herefordshire. The place name is derived from Old English clif 'slope' + ford 'ford'. Also.. Young = definitely English linked Savage = definitely English linked My sister recently sent a sample of our family DNA to that ancestry site. We had Nordic, Norman, Anglo-Saxon blood links on top of the obvious Irish ones. It's what happens over millennia of war fare and invasion. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 11/06/2019 21:24:02 2193694 Link 4 |
Not a drop of Celtic blood in our line. Scandinavian with a little Norman thrown in! My ancestor sailed up the Liffey in a longboat in the 9th Century and never left. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 11/06/2019 21:36:17 2193698 Link 5 |

I suppose the Scandinavians had to get rid of riff raff.

Not forgetting Kerry greats Eoin Liston and Colm Cooper. Two fine English surnames.

Not to mention all the 'Fitz' boys down through the years from England and Walsh's coming from Wales too! Disgrace that any of them were even allowed to play Gaelic Football! MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 12/06/2019 07:51:45 2193789 Link 6 |
Huh.. explains something An English named man that reigned over his mighty kingdom and considered GAA Royalty by his loyal subjects. It's no wonder he had such an exuberantly expensive state dinner in his honor. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 12/06/2019 09:18:42 2193811 Link 10 |
