IRISH LUTTRELLS

My earliest known ancestor, my gggrandfather, was John Luttrell who was born about 1805 in Courtwood. Courtwood is a townland of about 1700 acres in Lea parish. The nearest town is Stradbally and it is about 12 miles from Portlaoise and 7 miles from Athy Co. Kildare.
However my interest in the Luttrells is not confined to my own family but to all other Luttrells in Laois and indeed Ireland. I hope that through this website we can trace our Luttrells back as far as our common ancestors. I do not know, as yet, if we are connected in anyway to the Luttrells of Luttrellstown Castle, County Dublin.

The earliest reference I can find to Luttrells in Laois is the marriage of Catherine Luttrell of Luttrellstown to Robert Hartpole abt. 1653. Her brother was Stephen Luttrell who was associated with Coolbangher but I do not know if he is linked to the Luttrells that later lived there. There is an Edward Lutterell buried in the old Coolbanagher graveyard - he was buried in 1770 aged 70 years. Edward and James Luttrell of Cappakeel, Edward Luttrell of Emo and Alexander Latterall were listed on the freeholders list of 1775. If you are in any way connected to these Luttrells I would be delighted to hear from you. In return I will share any information that I have gathered with you. I have already established contact with Luttrell descendants in USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa and England.

Throughout the records that I have searched I have seen many different variations in the spelling of the Luttrell name. Lutterell, Lutteral, Luttrel, Luttrall and Luttrelle to name but a few. In all cases I have used the Luttrell name only on this site.
