The Comerford name was originally de Quemerford, coming from Quemerford in Wiltshire near Calne. The family came over to Ireland in the late 1300s/early 1400s as a lawyers/agents for William de Calne and they thrived there, while the name died out back in England.
There is now a Comerford Family Project on here.
