I'm not sure about the others and my mother always said that the "Lee" side was supposedly Black Irish, the Ludfords were English but when I went to Dublin ... there is a "sub-division" outside of the city referred to as Ludford... the Anglo -Irish. The more I look, the more confused I am... I live in Virginia USA but immediate family are mostly in North Carolina. Any news or info welcomed.

When the Ledford clan left England for Ireland, did they become Irish citizens?

My name is Joshua James Ledford. My grand parents were lake ledford and coy Lee ledford.
