North (Kilbride)
The Norths were Cromwellian settlers in county Westmeath and originally resided at Newcastle in the parish of Clonfad. In 1786 John North of Whitewell married Anne daughter of David Bomford of Gallow, Kilcock, county Meath and they had three sons - David who married Catherine Pim, Isaac who assumed the name of Bomford and John who married Ellen Barbour. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) members of the North family were immediate lessors in the parishes of Kilbride (John), Moylisher (David) and Rahugh (Rev Joseph). In the mid-1870s these family members - Mrs Emily, John, Rev Joseph and Joseph P owned 368, 305 281 and 463 acres respectively in county Westmeath. A very detailed history of this family is given at this site http://www.bomford.net/IrishBomfords/Chapters/Chapter16/norths_of_ireland.htm
