We have added CARTY Deaths from the Parish Register, Taghmon, Co. Wexford. This list was contributed by Mary Heaphy. You will find in by going to http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlarchive/ Click on Wexford and then Church. Also of possible interest --- Under Ireland General, Vital records --- Peter Collins has contributed some b,d & marriage indexes for the Surnames GRO/DRO index: WALSH, COUSINS,HAZELL, KAVANAGH, O'REILLY, REILLY, MCCOY and certain COLLINS names. Many from Wexford, so they may be of interest. The Vitals areas could be a great place to donate records. Many of us have photocopies of pages from the Birth or Marriage indexes. It would be nice to add them to these lists! Thanks, Christina Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives

Dear Cara, I would be extremely grateful if you could please look up PURCELL in Gorey.. They are Catholic. Kind regards Maureen

Hi Judy, >From my experience into my families in Wexford it was possibly the Godkin who was non Catholic. I have C of I Godkins from Ballycanew. Kind Regards, Rose Surrey / UK Researching in Ireland : Wexford - Ballycanew area: CRANWILL / CRANWELL, KEEGAN, CONNORS / CONNOR. Researching in Ireland : ST. LEGER & HEVENINGHAM

Hi Peggy, thank you so much. I did not know that there was not a Catholic church in Gorey at that period. I know that some of the RC churchs (and C of I) were burned during the 1798 rebellion and that it took many years to rebuild some of them. Perhaps that is why there was not one there during the 1840s. I will certainly consult the records you mention.

Hi Mary, I don't know if this will help or not, but in thousands of Marriage records, I have only two women named Dane, and both lived in Courtown Harbor, marrying in Ballygarrett. One is an Anne, who married a Francis Jordan in 1848, and the other is an Elizabeth who married a Murtha McDonald in 1845. If your James Rossiter married Anne in her parish, maybe BAllygarrett and Courtown Harbour hold a clue? Happy Hunting, Peggy ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi Judy, Henry Godkin did indeed marry Dorothy Sherwood, on 21 September, 1813. Henry was a farmer from Arklow, Co. Wicklow. One or the other was non-Catholic. Nothing for a James, though. Try the Church in Rathdrum for a Marriage Cert. Good luck, Peggy ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi Margaret, Hunting Doyles in Gorey is a huge task! As bad as looking for a Redmond or a Kinsella. I found my Redmonds by looking for Kinsellas - almost, but not quite as hard. Since Faulkner is not as prolific a name, why not concentrate of finding Mary first, if she married John in Ireland. Just a suggestion....

Hi Rose, I've been to the Church in Gorey many times, going over their fabulous records. They are very helpful! I originally went there to find the marriage of my Gr.Gr. Grands, and my G.Grandmother's Baptismal records. John Redmond m. Margaret Kinsella in 1837. My Gr. Grandmother, Mary Redmond was Baptized in 1842. I was told, on my first visit to the church that there was no church in Gorey in the 1840s, and I should look at the Kilanerin Church records, copies of which are kept in the Gorey Church. They are all computerized books, and in less than five minutes, I had both records, with Volume and Page Numbers, to take to the Kilanerin Church, where I finally got the Certificates. So, you might want to look at the Kilanerin Church for your Gorey Connors. Hope that helps in your search. Peggy Leonard ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi Cara- you mentioned the 2 magic words: Gorey and Godkin and I would like a lookup please. I have a James Godkin b 1817, d 1859 in Gorey. He married someone in Canada (Ontario). His father (I think this is correct) was Henry Godkin and his mother was Dorothea Sherwood. She was my 5g aunt. Thanks so much!

My attitude to Irish Research, today still remains the same, why give up, why close the shop? the man upstairs is going to call us all home one day, and that will be the day I will have to say to my maker, * Could you wait a year or two I have not finished this lookup yet*, I after all these years cannot find my grandfather,s birth and he was born in a time of registered births, but when he married my grandmother he was cute he wrote BORN:- In Old Castle Ireland...........real cute when you allow there are 7 Old Castle Townlands in Ireland, but of course he had a sense of humour ( of course he was irish) and perhaps he was born in an Old Castle, so how many ruins are there in Ireland, many. So instead of shutting up the shop and giving up, I adopted the Co Wicklow List, as their admin, and adopted everyones family, began a data base for the paper work, I had brought in home from Ireland, and went on looking for the ellusive O'Donoghue family, then I took on more Iirsh lists, some of these listers have been dangling me in hot water, but still I go on looking for anyones family. Along the way I have got lucky, and have at last gotten myself a Wexford family, a Wicklow Family, I have looked for people in the data I have, and have shared the data I have compiled, Now going on building a Co Wexford Data base, now thats not easy I can tell you, but shut up shop, Never ........ Because any of my children would tell you My ma was bonkers before she began this lark so why would she be going bonkers now. But I do remember recalling this advice, when I began Irish research, buy a lot pencils ( shows my age) and get a lot of head ache pills, and you will survive so many years on I am a survivor. I have gained more friends from Irish lists at Rootsweb, and a lot of people who wish me to hell n back as well, but thats life, we are all not the same, and we all research differently so if going Bonkers is the asnwer then count me in gang.

Hi Terry, I am also researching the KIRWAN/KIRVAN from Wexford . My gt gf was John Kirwan born 1844 in Wexford, he married Elizabeth O Connell born 1845 in Ireland and moved to Liverpool and had children Thomas1866,Catherine 1869, Elizabeth, 1875, Edward1878, Mary1879,Anne1882 and John 1885. According to the marriage certificate of John & Elizabeth the farther of John was Edward Kirwan of Wexford proberble birth date abt 1820. Unfortunaly no information about place of birth. Any information Please Peter Cousins

Eileen, This is a long shot. In your O'Leary family you have any soldiers named John who were based in Dublin around late 1930'3 early 1940's? Alan

Hello Ed, Unfortunately I know nothing of my Connor / Connors family of Gorey (or Gorey area) other than that which I put in my original email. I'd love to be able to take my Connors line back further. Kind Regards, Rose Surrey / UK Researching in Ireland : Wexford - Ballycanew area: CRANWILL / CRANWELL, KEEGAN, CONNORS / CONNOR.

Mary, Look on here http://gplan.wexford.ie/wexford_gplan/ and you'll see it between the townlands of Carricklawn and Park. In fact it appears to be exactly where the old Wexford hospital is situated.

fyi - There used to be an army barracks in Wellingtonbridge, or thereabouts. Which is just north of Barrystown.
