Woodward | Daniel Grace writes that the Woodward family lived at Cloghprior from the 1660s. Cloghprior House was bulit by William Woodward in the mid 18th century. However by the mid 1770s the Woodwards were in financial difficulties and land was sold to James Otway who built Prior Park on it. In 1844 Cloghprior was sold to Edwin Cuthbert. In the late 1850s Frank Woodward leased Prospect House from Maurice Studdert of Lodge and his daughters continued to live there until the 1940s. |
Woodward (Longford) | In the 1870s, Reverend Thomas Woodward was recorded as the owner of over 1200 acres in County Longford. He served as Dean of Down and chaplain to the county gaol in Downpatrick from 1856 until his death in London in 1875. Local sources suggest Reverend Woodward was married to Frances Elizabeth Barlow whose family owned Annesbrook House, Mullingar. |
