Many thanks, I will investigate further. The de la Felle indicates the French/Norman connection which I had been assuming until I recently discovered the possible Forest of Dean link.

There are also a few other names which could have originated in the Forest of Dean and are found in this part of Ireland. These are: Tamplin, Templeton, Pearse, Seymour, Canning, Walsh.

Other possible names are: Davis, Gardiner, Kemple, Mathews, Nash, Page, Pigott, Porter, Robinson, Saunders, Sellers, Steward and Willis. Of course, many of these names are found all over the British Isles but seem to be significant in Woodford, Co. Galway.
