I have been very gratified to find that this site has been of interest to others and not just immediate family members. Here are some of their contributions.

"just came accross your very interesting website re the Medlicotts..
I am no relation or no big historian, though...many many times I have visited Kildare church and visited your ancestors graves...
Your ancestor married a Bagot of Nurney Castle who had a Temperence Bagot married to my ancestor John Hoysted...
The Bagots/brownes/Hoysteds/Medlicotts were very very much linked...
In 1798 My ancestor, his brother, Fredrick
William with John Bagot defended Monastrevin with 80 odd cavalry against 1300 rebels..... 300 rebels died with no fatalities to the defenders.Father Pendergrast was hung immediately after that for his association with the rebels."
The Hoysted ancestors are buried in what is know as 'Hoysteds Pound' in the
centre of Kildangan Stud, just outside Kildare town....if you ever hear
anything about our family or the Bagots of Nurney I would be delighted to
hear from you....

"Just to let you know, I have been looking at the information on the Medlicott Family History on your website. I live in Youngstown House in Co. Kildare, Ireland, which was built in 1750 and was home to James Medlicott who was Sheriff of County Kildare. My father bought the house and farm at Youngstown in the 1950s from the Masterson family. I am very interested in the History of Youngstown and of the Medlicott family - I have searched the web before for information on the Medlicotts of Dunmurry and only came across your website today."

"Great to see that someone else is doing a bit towards the Family Name.
Hi My name is Richard Medlycott and I have been researching the family name for about forty odd years. I don't know if you have seen the website at www.chariot.net.au/~ace. There you can go back to George Medlicott who I think owned Dunmurry. From records it seem that George followed his brother Thomas Medlicott to Ireland, he own Rocketts Castle."
"The interesting thing about Thomas and George, is when their father died he had his name as MEDLYCOTT on the tomb stone, also some documents were spelt this way. So we thing that this is where the family broke away from the Medlicott spelling."
