Families covered: Guinness of Ashford, Guinness of Beaumont, Guinness of Dublin
| BP1869 ('Guinness') reports that "The family of Guinness claims descent from the ancient and eminent house of Magennis, in which formerly vested the Viscounty of Iveagh" and "the transition of the name from Magennis to Mc Guiness, or Guinness, is clearly traceable. The first who bore the name, as at present spelt, was" the following Richard. We hope to find the connection to the Magennis family in due course. | |||||||||||||||
