Banfield
|
The Banfields were a Quaker merchant family of Clonmel, county Tipperary, involved in the milling industry. In the mid 19th century Robert Banfield, William Chaytors and Bernard P. Whelan held 2 townlands in the parish of Kiltegan, barony of Iffa and Offa East. In the 1870s the representatives of Peter R. Banfield, Clonmel, owned 978 acres in county Tipperary. Members of the Banfield family seem to have had connections with the Kinsale and Bandon areas of county Cork from the seventeenth century onwards. The repesentatives of Thomas Banfield (with an address in Bandon) owned over 150 acres in county Cork in the 1870s.
