The early Summer will see a gethering of the Dixon Clan in their heartland of Longwood in County Meath. Details will be posted in due course.
The Dixon family have become involved with the establishment of the Irish branch of the Richard III society due to their ancestoral connection to the Plantagenet Kings (see Pedigrees and Lineages). The next meeting of the society will be on Saturday February 22nd and anyone wishing to become involved should contact Derek Dixon-Byrne at db@derekbyrneevents.com.
Membership of the Dixon Clan continues to grow and has recently aquired members as far afield as South Africa.
We look forward to an exciting year ahead.
Derek Dixon-Byrne will represent Clan Dixon at a Gala Dinner hosted by Clans of Ireland at Christchurch Cathedral in Dublin on Saturday the 14th of September 2013.
As a long time server at the Cathedral, Derek will serve alongside the Archbishop of Dublin, Dr. Michael Jackson, in evensong before the dinner which will take place in the crypt.
The event will be attended by guest of honour, HRH Prince David of Georgia.
The Dixon Clan was registered with Clans of Ireland in January 2013.
Our vision is to promote the rich history and identity of the Dixons of Meath who have lived in Ireland since Edward Dixon (1516 – 1559).
Through marriage the Dixons of Meath count Dukes, Earls, Barons as well as many none titled but noteable historic figures amongst their ranks.
Originally a sept of the Scottish Clan Keith, the Dixons of Meath have an established history in Ireland going back over 600 years. This site provides a wealth of information on the rich history of this family and well as helping to connect Dixons in Ireland and around the world.
Welcome to the official site for the Dixon Clan of Ireland. We are currently under construction and will have lots of information very soon.
