Yes, the family is Roman Catholic. Although they went to work with a Cromwellian supporter, is it possible they went to Ireland because they thought, wrongly, they may be able to practice their religion more easily?
The man who opened the works in Woodford was Sir Henry Waddington and operated later by the Croasdaile or Crossdale family. I believe they were related to Sir Henry Waddington.

Thanks.
