Have you looked at the Ormsby family tree in Burke's Irish Family Records ?

Thanks Declan, I havent looked in Burkes peerage. The people you find in there aren't the people I usually associate with

BIRTHS
At Emmadale, Six-mile-bridge, county Clare, the lady of John Ormsby Stenson, Esq. of a daughter.

Another piece of the puzzle. I am guessing that Emmadale is the same place as Emma Vale and is in Six Mile Bridge, so maybe it is the name of a house.

I noted earlier on this thread the death of Henry Stenson, RIC, Athea, so should also note his daughter's marriage to Thomas O'Grady in the Limerick Chronicle 4 Oct 1870.
