I used a copy of GRIFFITHS VALUATION on film from my local FHC. They sent away for it in the same way as they did with all their other films. I must admit it took me a long time reading it as there was no index, but as my wife says it keeps me out of mischief. To those that are here in England have a good Bank holiday to the rest Hope that it is nice and sunny as it is here at the moment Regards Peter Cheltenham UK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cara_Links" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 1:40 AM Subject: [IRL-WEXFORD] - GRIFFITHS VALUATION second thought again

I have just posted to the Irish Cemetery list and the Irish Tombstone list a group of Wexford headstones them being for the name Sparrow name associated names are, Scraggs, Jones, Boxwell, Gamble, Waddy, White and Murphy. If you are not a lister they can be found in the archives of either of these lists. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/IRL-TOMBSTONE-INSCRIPTIONS/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/IRELAND-CEMETERIES/ Cheers Cara

A Margaret Furlong Aged 18 arrives in Victoria 1862 aged 18 per the Marco Polo perhaps like all the Irish they were not adverse to changing their age to suit the occassion. The name Hebbes is found in English records I cannot find it in any Irish records I have but that does not mean it doesnt exist And the Wexford Accent to a strangers ears is a joy to hear but hard to understand so this may well have caused the problem in the beginning.

Ran across these Wexford names in "The Travels of Sir William Brereton" 1635: Mr. Hardye, an Englishman, has lived at Park for about 13 years Mr. Turner, father-in-law to Mr. William Synode Paul Bennett owned a lodging house in Wexford called the Sign of the Windmill Mayor, Mr. Mark Cheveu Maybe these will help someone some day.

From the TOPOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF IRELAND by Samuel Lewis 1837 ED concerning the name SUTTON: KILMOKEA, a civil parish, in the barony of SHELBURNE, county of WEXFORD, and province of LEINSTER, 6 miles S from New Ross ..... In the R.C.divisions is the had of a district, called Sutton's parish. There is a handsome chapel at Horewood (Horeswood) called St James, with a commodious house for the priest; the old chapel has been converted into a school..... Here are the remains of Ballykearogue castle and of its chapel; they are stated to have been built by Roger de Sutton, who in 1170 accompanied Robert Fitzstephen and Hervey de Montemarisco into Ireland, and obtained from the latter large grants of land in the barony of Shelburne: this district is often called after him Sutton's parish.

Does anyone have information on the Suton Family from Wexford? I am researching my gr-great grandfather Andrew Sutton , bn.1797 immigrated to USA in 1815 and settled in Pa.

A very useful and interesting - and beautiful ( which always helps ) book on how the ordinary Irish people lived their lives in Ireland in the late 18th,19th and early 20th century is; IRISH RURAL INTERIORS IN ART by Claudia Kinmouth, published by Yale University Press, HB, ISBN 0-300-10732-3 It covers all aspects of life - cooking, work, interiors of the house and workshop, beds and ways of sleeping ( very informative ), weddings and wakes, holy days and holidays, pubs and shops, and health and education - from illustrations using contemporary paintings and drawings. And it is so revealing, really, really helps to understand how our families lived, covering all Ireland. My brother gave it to me for my birthday, and a nicer present I could not have had. Mary p.s. Amazon have it.

Hi Listers, My great-grandmother was MARGARET FURLONG. The only information I have about her and her family is from her marriage and death certificates. Her marriage was at Melbourne Australia on 29 January 1862. (She married St Lawrence WEBB) Her age is given as 22 - therefore born about 1840. Her place of birth is Wexford Ireland. Her parents are WILLIAM FURLONG and BRIDGET HEBEVE, farmers She made her mark on the register. Her death was at Dunedin New Zealand on 14 May 1932. Her age is given as 89 - therefore born about 1843. - Length of time in New Zealand is given as 70 years so that means she came here when she was 19, which doesn't accord with her age at the time of her marriage above. On this certificate her age at marriage is given as 17. Her place of birth is given as Wexford Ireland. Her father is WILLIAM FURLONG and the maiden surname of her mother is given as KEOGH (no forename is given). She wasn't around to confirm or deny any of the information on the death certificate. I have been unable to locate any birth registrations for her 9 children, all born in New Zealand, and the baptismal records gave no useful information. Questions: 1 Can anyone tell me if the surname HEBEVE appears anywhere in Co. Wexford? 2 Are there any Wexford surnames that could sound like HEBEVE when said with a Wexford accent? 3 Could the surnames HEBEVE and KEOGH sound the same when said with a Wexford accent - I'm clutching at straws here! 4 Is there any Kind Soul who could look up a Griffiths Valuation to see if there is mention of the above surnames? 5 Can anyone point me in the direction of how I can find where Margaret and her parents (and presumably siblings) lived in Co Wexford - e.g lists of R.C. parishioners, cemetery "inmates" etc. This really is a needle in a hay-stack. 6 Is there any website with passenger lists from Wexford to Australia? I'm sorry I'm asking for help with such inadequate information but I have been banging away on this brick wall for just on 15 years as I was unable to get any information from what relatives I had before they died. Any help greatly appreciated. Yours hopefully, Rosemary Northland, New Zealand.

Rosemary The "administration" planted a lot of continental protestant families into Ireland in the 17th & 18th centuries. You might try a German or French name similar to HEBEVE.

I'm doing research on my 3rd great grandfather Moses Byrne [b. 1822 Liverpool] and his family. There is some unsubstantiated information in a number of databases that has his father Denis' birth taking place in 1790 in "Invcotty" Ireland -- with no county listed. As far as I can tell, there is no place by this name and never was. I've tried a number of variations, figuring that it must be a transcription error or something, and I've found a number of references to a "Iniscothy, Co. Wexford, Ireland" which I'm guessing meant to be Enniscorthy. Looking further, there seems to have been some flux in how Enniscorthy was referred to in many historical records. My question is what variations on spelling have folks seen for Enniscorthy and do I seem to be on the right track? Any help would be much appreciated. Regards, Jason Byrne

Perhaps Anne you need to widen your search on the Carty name and include the Irish spelling of Carthy as well, it worked when I was looking for the name in another county.

I decided to look for Nicholas Nolan/Nowlan and his wife Bridget [O'Neill] in the Brian Cantwell's MEMORIALS CD. Surprisingly, Nicholas was a most uncommon given name among Nolans - I found only one. Patrick, James, Thomas, and John are apparently the most common. This is it: NEW ROSS, Saints Mary & Michael R.C. (Location No. 414, Vol IX, [on page 2874 on CD]) (at Side Altar: ) Erected by Nicholas Nolan of Irishtown in memory of his parents Timothy and Catherine Nolan I thought Nicholas was a family name but perhaps it was an O'Neill name not a Nolan name.

Thank you so very much for this infomation on the Keogh's & Gregan's. It certainly gives me a good basis to work on and will work on this line. It is so good of you to do this!! I know it is probably not likely that you need help with research in New Zealand, but I am more than happy to help you in return if there is. Thank you again - I really appreciate it!

The Griffith valuation Cd's that are around and for sale, are like two a penny now, as they are not the complete version that G Lane quoted on, that is a most expensive CD and is generally found in the Wexford Library, but they themselves lost the source to that with a flood, then you see the value of Griffiths. But the CD's we have purchased are only indexes not the complete Griffiths..........pity the people selling these other CD/s do not tell us this before we purchase. Sorry I am having a moan today, which is not my usual style, I will try to find my happy self again. But Griffiths whether its an idex of not is as was pointed out still a useful source. Cara

BUT what has not been said here, if your family did not own land they were not recorded..........this griffith valuation will always only remain a guide to surnames, of head owners of land or head lessor ( i think that is spelt right if not shoot me) Although quoted as one of the greatest replacements for the missing census's I have never found any of my lonely old relatives on it, we must have been a poor lot, probably robbing the poor to feed ourselves. But a useful tool it remains just the same.

I think we corresponded before. I recently had the Wexford Heritage Center do a lookup on Paul Bolger and they found a Paul Bulger (Spelling different but acceptable) in the Oylegate RC Parish, Wexford records indicating he was baptized on Sept. 10, 1820 (Register 01,Page 67, Entry 10). His Father was Peter Bulger. The sponsors were Peter Bulger and Susan Walsh. This seems to be consistent with other information I had on Paul Bolger which was as follows: "Paul Bolger was probably born about1822 in Co. Wexford, Killkenny or Carlow, Ireland. Immigrated to the US before 1850 when first child was born.. Married Mary Fitzharris (~1826-1885), also from Ireland. They settled in the New York city area and had six children: Anna L. b.~1850, Mary Catherine b.~1852, Peter b.~1854, Lawrence b.~1857, Edward Thomas b. March 1856 and Elizabeth b. 1856. He died in about 1878. Interested in anything about his parents and the family." I would appreciate any information you might have on the Peter/Paul Bolger line. Bob Tomonto Miami, FL

Dear Bob, As neither of your names, Peter or Paul, or the surname Fitzharris show up in my Bolger family, I doubt that there is a connection. I guess we just keep putting out feelers until someone recognizes something familiar about the little information we have and gives us a nudge in the right direction. I appreciate your reply however. With all of us with Wexford ancestry trying to come up with information, I'm surprised these names haven't flitted across someone's path at some time...in my case especially, because Edward and Mary Doyle Bolger had 10 children, all born before the family emigrated to Wisconsin in several waves. Sometimes just a small hint is enough to open up a new a fruitful search. Their children's names, in case there are Bolgers with similar names in someone's family, were Michael, Ellen, Anastasia, John, Catherine, Mary M., Patrick, James Francis (my great-grandfather), Johanna and Edward Joseph.

Many thanks to those of you who replied to my query,, I'm still plodding along. What I did not think to ask was about people second name, thought the child may have taken the second name the same way as the first name, but not sure, does anyone know? Many thanks.
