Soloman FELTIS was born 13 FEB 1820 Enniscorthy, nearby Vinegar Hill, County Wexford, Ireland to William FELTIS/FELTUS and his wife, Ms. DOYLE. William FELTIS was born about 1800 in Scotland. There was at least one other son from this family who immigrated to the United State. Edward A. FELTIS born 2 FEB 1835 in Enniscorthy, Wexford, Ireland is believed to be the brother of Soloman. He lived in Belle Vernon, Wyandot Co., OH. Edward's oldest son, William moved to Royal Center, Indiana. Soloman FELTIS was baptized in the CHURCH OF ENGLAND. He was married 20 FEB 1844 to Catherine WADE, daughter of James and Sarah (RALPH) WADE of Enniscorthy, Ireland. Catherine was born on 1 AUG 1823 in England or Ireland. Soloman FELTIS was a tailor.They immigrated to the United States about 1847. I have been unable to find immigration records at National Archives. They had eight children. (1)Their oldest daughter was Sarah J. Feltis born 12 DEC 1844 in Enniscorthy. She was five years old in the 1850 Benton, Crawford Co., OH census. (2)Their oldest son, Frank Sylvester (spelled Feltus) was born 14 APR 1846 in Enniscorthy, Ireland. (3) *Margaret E. Feltis born 6 MAY 1850 in Benton, Crawford Co., Ohio, was the first in the family to be born in the United States. I have been trying to find where any of the family (Feltis/Feltus/Wade/Ralph/Doyle) may be buried in or near Enniscorthy? I have been at a brick wall for years trying to trace back to Enniscorthy.

Hello; I would like to say that the name Coakley (spelled exactly) is on my wife's side of the family. What I do know of them is that they settled in the Margaree Valley, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia in the early 1800's. take care Brian > From: [email protected]> Subject: IRL-WEXFORD Digest, Vol 2, Issue 139> To: [email protected]> Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 01:12:28 -0600> > > > Today's Topics:> > 1.

I would say in the beginning yes they were all related, perhaps by blood, perhaps simply by the banner of the sept in the area. Today I can only say, that some families did not have a lot of children, war, famine, shortage of food etc etc, would have done a natural cull on the generations following on, so therefore some of them were quite simmply better breeders than others. Much like today I reckon when it could be simply based on a gene pool, thing, some are stronger than others. Colcough, was a strong name in Wexford and some of the children named in his surname are not his, they simply were given the name, if there was no father, I have not proven the above but it is one of Cyrils wifes beliefs and she is herself right into history of this family Cheers Cara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Simpson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2007 12:19 AM Subject: [IRL-WEXFORD] Corcoran and other surnames > We have a Godmother to one of our great aunts who was a COAKELY. > Supposing that if she was a Godmother she must almost certainly have > been kith if not kin, I have searched around the south Cork registers ( > Templemichael, Dunderrow, Inishannon, Ballymartle ) for this name and > only found a few - but was then informed that it could be written as > COCHLAN / COGHLAN / COUGHLY....... or even COLCLOUGH!

We have a Godmother to one of our great aunts who was a COAKELY. Supposing that if she was a Godmother she must almost certainly have been kith if not kin, I have searched around the south Cork registers ( Templemichael, Dunderrow, Inishannon, Ballymartle ) for this name and only found a few - but was then informed that it could be written as COCHLAN / COGHLAN / COUGHLY....... or even COLCLOUGH! There were a few in and around, it certainly wasn't a common name. But were all these names related?? In other words, are all these names referring to the same " family " groups in the same way as, say all the O BRIEN are of the same family? And speaking of family ( or " Clan " ) surnames, one thing has always puzzled me. Surely not all those sharing the same surname can be of the same family? If your name is O SULLIVAN, could it mean that somewhere back your family was a either 1) related by blood 2) a servant, slave, retainer etc 3) just came from the area over which the O SULLIVAN'S had control And if they WERE all actually related, how come some names ( i.e. MURPHY, McCARTHY, O SULLIVAN etc etc ) have trillions of members, and others only a handful? Were some families just more pushy than others? Slan, Mary

Dear Dublin, Wexford, Wicklow, Clare, Carlow listers Some of you will not understand the content of this mail, but I must write now to the list and say this I do not wish to make it a discussion topic, simply to state the facts as they are. It appears that people are not happy about myself doing any research anywhere anymore, but I really must say this, I have and always have had an agreement with Enneclann to use their products, after all it is only an index, and I cannot supply the full data, that may be available on a Will or a Marriage Licence or anything indexed on the Enneclann produced wills Index CD The end result would be if anyone was to need these articles in full they would have to either follow through to the original compilers of the CD or approach the National Archives in Dublin. So a lookup is not out of order. So to those of you who took the time to write off to Enneclann, thankyou, because I yet again, now have an agreement with Enneclann to use their product. I remain as always true to my courage and believe in the freedom of sharing. So for those I have helped in the past,or to those I may help in the future, good luck in your research.

Hello John, Many thanks for the information you and Cara sent me regarding my family. Interesting, in my grandmother Mary's (Anna Aspel's daughter) letters I find one dated 12 Aug 1913 from her cousin Mary Archbold living at 60 Brookfield Bds, Brookfield Ave, Blackrock Ireland - Co Dublin I have tried to find out about this family as well. Nothing so far. Then, there is another letter from a Mrs A (looks like Bru or Bris) who was living at 111 Lowsserd (?) Street, Dublin who addressed it to My Dear Niece. She refers to her deceased husband as John. From the tone of the letter she could be the sister to Anna and Mike Aspel. One last letter written 30 Oct 1906 is from a cousin Maggie living at C2 Albert St. Prescot. She mentions a sister living in Manchester Union. Not sure if this is in Ireland. At the bottom of the envelope following the address to my grandmother is Bos. 428. This may or may not be connected to the Aspel's. Again thanks, I appreciate any information as you never know where it can lead.

Hi Bonnie, Have you tried researching using Archibald a derivative of Aspell, a name exclusive to Co. Wexford? Many Archibald during mid 1800�s switched over to using Aspell. I have seen instances of both names used for same family. Anyway it�s worth a try. There were many Archibald families around the Camolin, Clough and Gorey area, and Aspells down Bree / Ballyhogue direction. And Wexford as you know is Kinsella country. Link attached gives you an idea how the names Archibald and Aspell were used.

Valerie Is it possible that this name Culloden is caught up in the variant of Culleton 1876 Landowners show that a Michael Culleton owned land at the Commos Killurin and Thomas Culleton owned land at Mungaun Ballymitty I also see a Margaret Culleton has a prerogative will in 1768 in Co Kilkenny Cara

Re yours of 19 July Perhaps I erred in using to term variant-I really suppose I was thinking how difficult it must be in transcribing from old 18'19 C. documents ,to a data base, to distinquish between a t and a f when the writing has flourishes! As I said in my original message of 14th my interest rises from researching a Thomas Potts Handcock from WEX who has been traced to Ontario in 1825 and he and a Catherine Waters had 2 children there in 1827 and 1828.I have a feeling Catherine may be from WEX so am following up any cases of the Waters name I come across.I did say in my other message of 19th that I had found instances of both Waters and Wafers in lists for Enniscorthy and gave date references for the Wafers I found in the lists.In addition to Enniscorthy Waters can be found in Athurstown and New ross in WEX My Oxford Names Companion {pub Oxford University Press] surnames section-does not show Wafers but does show Waters and patronymics John D Rose -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cara_Links Sent: Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:27 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IRL-WEXFORD] Wafers/Waters Okay I will bite the bullett so to speak and wander in where the others wont go, and say this I believe the name Wafer-Weafer to be not a variant of Waters...........
