Hi Kathleen, Thank you for replying. My McNamara I believe came to America under her married name Margaret Powers and was traveling with her husband, John Powers. They settled in the Town of Springport, Cayuga County, New York. I don't know about any siblings as of now but if I find any I'll let you know.

Hi Rick, I have Maria McNamara (b. about 1859) as my great grandmother, married John J O'Donnell in Denver, Colorado February 16, 1881. I don't know anything about her siblings or where in Ireland Maria (perhaps Marie or Mary) McNamara came from, so don't know if there's a connection to your line. Maria and John O'Donnell had six children in Colorado: Maurice, Nora, Margaret, Minnie, John and Mary. Let me know if you think there's any connection, or if you come across anything. Good luck.

I am trying to find information on a John Powers, his wife Margaret McNamara Powers, and their son Edward Powers. Edward Powers was born in County Wexford on 4 Feb 1847. He did not come to the US with his parents but remained in Wexford until 1862 when he arrived in America on 7 Apr 1862; His parents, Father - John Powers b. abt 1825, Mother - Margaret McNamara b. abt 1826, came to America sometime between 1847 and 1852. Any information on any member of this family, ideas on how and where else to check, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rick White

Does anyone have access to the 1861 census of Enniscorthy? I read in May 2006's edition of Practical Family History that transcripts for this parish didnt go up with the 1922 fire. I am looking for the Healy & Walsh family. LAURENCE HEALY was born in 1874 to MICHAEL & MARY HEALY of Balyhogue, Clomoche. MICHAEL HEALY married MARY WALSH in 1871 in the RC Chapel of Bree, Clomoche. Michaels address was Cornwall and Marys was Ballyhogue. Michaels father was a labourer called Patrick who was still alive. Marys father was a tailor called Laurence who was dead. Witnesses were Thomas Larkin & Eliza Brennan. Would love to find siblings of Patrick, Michael, Mary or Laurence. Mark

Thanks, Kay. I will archive your message. I suspect both a Murphy and a Delaney were soldiers and mobile.

I am looking for two possible family groups that may have bounced between Wexford and Waterford and might possibly have been military families. First the Murphy's: A Mary Murphy who would have been alive in 1810 A George Murphy who would have been alive in 1841 A Lawrence Murphy who would have been alive in 1843 A Mary Murphy, possibly the daughter of the Mary Murphy above, or the same one, alive in 1843 They are probably connected. A John Delaney alive in 1810 A Marie/Mary Delaney alive in 1846 Those two are probably connected. Janet

My grandmother was Margaret Murphy born c1860 in Ballyanne/Temple Ludrigan, Co Wexford. My grandfather was Thomas Ryan b1856 in Kilmacow, Co Kilkenny, this parish is just the other side of the river. In Mrs Kathleen Laffans book about Kilmacow she mentioned that there was trade between these parishes, probably dealing in limestone/quarry stone..... probably of no help but you never know kay

Hello! Just joined the list. I am trying to help someone find some information about some Godkins. Here is his message: "Would you know how to obtain the Godkins in the 1756/1757 list of freeholders in county wexford? In the revised Volume on county wicklow I had shown the parents of the boys who married into the Sherwoods as James Godkin and Alice. This is still true but I have doubts as to Jame's parents and now believe that James is really the James who married Susanna Lecky 1766 and,when Susanna died 1771,James remarried to Alice and who was,most probably,Alice Webster. this then makes James the son of John Godkin and not his brother,William. Hopefully,the list of Godkin Freeholders in 1756/1757 may sort this out especially if the area of one of the freeholders was 74acres 32perches." I also have some Wexford names but right now I need to focus, something that I am not very good at when it comes to genealogy!!! I tend to go in many directions..... So if anyone might have this information or have an idea of where to check, please let me know. I will be very grateful! When I subscribed quite awhile ago, everyone was very helpful. Take care, Judy

Does anyone know of a site on the web where it is possible to refer to the old 6 inch to 1 mile Ordnance Survey maps that accompanied the Primary Valuation data - that show the map reference and sequence numbering for the valuations? I have access to the Irish Origins site, and the maps from Past Times, but not all of their maps have the numbers for the holdings printed on them ( very, very frustrating! ) and it's not that easy to pop in to the Valuation Office in Dublin..... Do the two Cork Libraries have them? The maps that I am interested in are mainly nos 85 and 97. Mary Simpson

Hello, I have only studied one valuations map. Do people on list know if lot numbers on map refer to original Griffiths Valuations or were subsequent lot changes also put on maps? I studied cancellation books which basically show lots transferred to people after wills etc or lots merged or split well into 1900's >From memory I seem to remember than map I viewed has lot nos changes and crossed out which seemed to imply they were used for valuations adter Griffiths.

Well as the list is slow, I thought I would tell you what has come to my ears via the grapevine of life. I hear that down in Wexford there is to be a pantomine and one of our listers, has taken a leading part. So late one night in the dead of night, all was still the house was quiet, everyone else was sleeping, not even a mouse was stirring, no wind in the trees nothing. Not even the never ending rain was falling. Everyone was snoring and enjoying the quiet. SO......... He decides to practice his part, by the way that is "Humpty Dumpty sat on A Computer Chair' and would you believe it the house awoke to a resounding crash, and I believe it was heard at the Whitford Roundabout ( Many miles away) , but the words that left his mouth, were not fitting for this pantomine, or for this email. His wife hit the floor barefooted and frightened, his son arrived in great despair, wringing their hands, and trying not to die of laughter For there sat this well known lister in his computer chair with no legs to support it, and if anyone has met or knows he is as short and as round as Humpty Dumpty, there he sat, with his little short legs stuck under the Computer desk , and the seat of the chair stuck to his ( guess), his wife and son, in great mirth, set to the task of removing the chair seat, many minutes later, or was that hours, they did in fact think they would have to send for a oxy torch, but that would have heated the seat of the problem But I guess if you were not there to see the fun you can only guess it was a bit of a Newsom for the son and wife to remove this chair. Eventually success was gained. So now the story goes only his dignity was hurt, and as I smile and say, Well alls well that ended well, ( no pun intended Lol) and that is the END Guess I will get a baking, but thats life folk down in Wexford, where the Panto has been rescheduled for another year.

Hi Jeff, I'm wondering if I can impose on your generosity too, to do a lookup in your Memorials book. At your leisure, would you see if there are any Darcy's listed. Particularly William, Patrick, Bridget, Thomas, Bryan, Catherine, John and James. They were from Co. Wexford, possibly Kilnahue or St. James. Thank you, in anticipation, Cherry, Australia

Thomas Louis Esmonde born 14/12/1864 of Ballycourcy Enniscorthy Co Wexford who maried Mary Daughter of George Mansfield was lost at see in the sinking of the MV Leinster on 10/10/1918 buried in Glasnevin his burial was on the 14/10/1918.

Cara and Frank, Many thanks for your replies. I will be following up on the ship and also the Hebbes name. Many years ago I vaguely remember my father saying something about Basque blood in the family and to that end I did get in touch with a Basque genealogy group on the internet. They thought Hebeve was not a Basque name/word but there was habave which meant found under a tree, so perhaps Bridget's family came from that part of the world after all. I haven't been able to find anything definite so far - I have tried IGIs and various genealogy groups - but guess I'll have to just go on chipping away.

Cara, I'll keep the "Carthy" spelling in mind...it had occurred to me a few times, and I realize that a simple misunderstanding of pronunciation could change the spelling of immigrants' names as they were being written on the manifest. As for Mary and Nicholas Bulger in Kilmore... There is no Nicholas in my whole Bolger line, so I'm assuming that they are two distinct Bolger families. However I realize that doesn't necessarily mean I should cross him off my "list" as being a possibility. Both Edward and Mary Doyle Bolger emigrated (separately) near the end of the 1840s, to Wisconsin. I have had possible leads toward the Old Ross area and the Kilmore area, so for now, that's where I plan to concentrate my efforts. Thank you for your information! Ann P.S. Possibly Jeff or another lister has run across some Bolgers in these two areas.
