I have a death record of Mary Smith from Ballinastraw aged 60, on 3rd February 1907 in Glenbrien. No marriages or witnesses of any Smith names in Glenbrien 1860-1925. No births from 1860 to 1865 - nor witnesses in Glenbrien.

I know Smith is a common name but in Wexford?? Would anyone have come across a marriage of a John Sinnott & Mary Smith around 1870s? Mark

Hi Sue Do you want to get his birth certificate as I could look up the reference number for you this week. Regards from Valerie in sunny Sydney.

Dear Annie; Now this might not have anything to do with you but nothing ventured nothing gained. My G.G.G. Grandparents were John Smith and Mary Warren. But I see they are about a century older. Now they were living in 1819 in North Eastern Kilkenny but had moved there from somewere in Ireland a little before that date. I've suspected Wexford but really don't know I've been suspicious that they might of migrated from the New Ross area of Wexford. They were Prodestant's and maybe even Palatines. There is so much we don't know when searching back so far one must just grab at straws. And the name Smith doesn't make it any easier. If anyone could give me more info about the New Ross area I'd be happy to look into their history.

Hi everyone, I am trying to find information on the parents of my g-g-grandmother, Margaret Smith. From her death certificate (she died in Australia) and also from her marriage certificate (also in Australia) I have determined that her parents were John Smith, farmer, and Mary Newport. According to the age on her MC & DC she was born about 1850 in Glenview, Wexford. I haven't even been able to determine where Glenview is, which would be a help as then I would know which parish to search. I found a site on the internet from which a surname showed a Margaret born in 1850 in Wexford (no furhter details). The same site also produced a marriage between a John Smith and Mary Newport in 1846 (no further details). Immigration records to Australia are not complete and with a name of Smith searching is very difficult, especially to confirm the correct individual. Apart from trying to get a marriage certificate from the Wexford Heritage Society, any other ideas or anyone researching this family? Thanks

Yes Rick I believe they are. Here is a website for the information you can research on historical records for the province of Newfoundland. Some records go back into the 1800's. People have been transcribing information to this site for years. There are various list that you can join. On the south east coast of the province is an area called the "Irish Loop." http://ngb.chebucto.org/ Maurice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick & Evvy White" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-WEXFORD] Researching Powers and McNamara > Hi Maurice, Thank you for responding.

Hi Rick have you tried checking out Newfoundland sights. My grandfather had an Uncle named Edward Power whose wife was born in 1859. (notice no S at the end of Power).

Mary I see that this mail has gone to Kerry, Cork and Wexford so each of those people on these lists are going to have different ideas for sure but for what its worth probably an ice cream these are mine based on transcribing registers and researching Wexford Wicklow Dublin Carlow and half of Ireland - or is that the all of Ireland ? Godparents are listed in the original RC registers and perhaps they may well be just that from either side of the family Sponsors are just that they could be a sister, a brother a neighbour or the parish clerk, or simply a person they may know via such a place as even a workhouse. I cant tell you enough that if they are rural they travelled to markets boy meets girl she might have been from another county, girl meets boy she may have been from the same town but farms married farms to increase land mass, Old men married young wives to do this, the parish priest was more likely to be the marriage broker in such a marriage The of course there is the single mother in a single mother situation in a workhouse or nuns home for wayward girls , the farmer came to pick a wife and he inherited some other mans child. Sometimes the bride to be was housed with the boys family and should fall pregnant the wedding was just hastened. Well even if they were rural there was oft the son or daughter who joined the ministry, or joined the army they most certainly left the family fold and went on to other counties, even other countries. > If there is an occurrence of one person ( male ) leasing land and > buildings in the Griffith's Valuation, and another person ( female ) > renting say, a house and garden from them on the same plot, how likely > would it be that they were in some way related?

I would agree to this they most likely were related even by the common name only, some families for instance BYRNE family name does not always relate to another family of that name. Cara

Joan, those were my thoughts also ( people marrying within a close region ) and when I said 400 people in a parish, I meant just that and not merely the townland, although when you do find the same name families in different townlands, they often turn out to be very close by - a couple of miles at most. But then I was thinking of the marriage broker or arranger used so much in Ireland in the 19th century, they may have introduced couples from different areas altogether. My grandfather, from Cork, married my grandmother from Wexford Town in 1904 in Wexford, and he was working and living in Longford at the time ( although for a cousin, so perhaps that doesn't count ). Its all very perplexing. Mary

I am looking for any information or advice. I have traced my family line back to Enniscorthy. My GGGrandfather Michael Murphy left Ireland March 1849 aboard the John Bell for Baltimore Maryland. He traveled with his brothers and wife Ellen. Michael’s father was Moses. He stayed in Wexford. I believe Michaels sister Ellen married Daniel Kavanagh (died Jan 8 1894 Garrylough). They had two sons John and Stephen. This is where I am stuck. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

May I float a few queries to the experts out there? I now have amassed a large amount of data about our family in Cork, including the names and place where most of them lived. But NOT ALL of the data is certain..... My questions are; When considering lists of baptismal sponsors or Godparents - is it safe to assume that these would all be relations? Or might they be neighbours? If one is considering a family name where, say, there were only a handful of people with the same surname in a parish of only 400 people, how likely are these same-name families to be related to each other? The places that I am researching are very small and rural, did most of the inhabitants stay put around the parish - or did they travel? I am talking about the 1830 - 1900 period. If there is an occurrence of one person ( male ) leasing land and buildings in the Griffith's Valuation, and another person ( female ) renting say, a house and garden from them on the same plot, how likely would it be that they were in some way related? I have been told that this is very likely. Your thoughts on these matters would be very welcome, Mary
