Petherick, 1891-95, p.49 Cf Family Bible has his birth year as 1789.)) when his father was 17 years old, indicating that his parents eloped when very young. His mother's family relented enough for her to go to her parent's place at Cuffsborough (Country Laois, Ireland) for the birth.((‘Questions to be answered by T.L.M-P’, 6pp Memoranda by the Herald Office, Somerset House, London re Burke’s Colonial Gentry.))

He did so by leaving Ireland and joining the British army. He never permanently returned, understandably given that his father appears to have lost the Rathdowney estate during bankruptcy proceedings in 1824.\\ | He was born in 1790((Bernard Burke, //A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Colonial Gentry//,Melbourne: E.A.
