Hi Peggy, Thanks again for your info. We chatted about this last year. Seems like there are 2 marriages at about the same time, with partners with the same names. Unusual.

Hi Mary, Excellent idea. However, I am beginning my Ireland research on my Sinnott / Sinnett / Senet and have no clue as to the parish or township they may have come from in Co. Wexford. Family hear say is that the Sinnott owned a "Pub or Grocery Store" in Ireland. Somewhere along the family line it has come down to Co. Wexford. They were found as a family on the 1860 Patterson Depot, Frankford County, VA census. 1860 Census, 11-2-1880, Western District, Hampshire, Virginia, PO - Patterson Depot Salt Lake City, 1-8-2005 Dwelling 6, Family 6 Michael Sinnett, 46, Laborer, $0 RC, $100 Personal, Ireland Mary A. Sinnett, 48, VA Norman Nash, 22, Laborer, MD Jeremiah Monett, 18, Laborer, MD Michael Sinnett, 18, MD Mary A. Sinnett, 6, MD Elizabeth C. Loyd, 11, MD Then on the 1870 census I could only find - MARY SINNOTT 1870 CENSUS, Hampshire Co., WV, Mary, 54, VA, Keeping House Mary A. d. 15 MD,Domestic Servant Norman, 32, Farm Laborer Plus I found a death certificate for - Mineral County Deaths Michael SANNET 11-24-1868 AGE 56 Born: Ireland Parents: James & Mary Sannet I have posted a few brief postings and the folks on this list are very helpful in sending information to help with the research. I appreciate all the help I can get in this indeavor. Thanks to all of the helpful people out there. Happy Hunting and Happy New Year.

Sorry, I did not mean to post this to the list! Bob Krebs

I thought you might find this interesting. This is how I do a lot of genealogy research, posting to the various rootsweb list servs for the county/country in question. It is amazing how much information I have found this way. Plus I have connected with five cousins, four second cousins, this way! It is how I found my Krebs village in France! Edward and Mary? Galvin, are my gg grandparents on my maternal grandmother's side. Elizabeth is my great grandmother. They were very poor Irish emigrants. Elizabeth's occupation was an Irish classic, a washer woman! Her sister was a servant until she died of TB. A very common cause of death back in the 1800's! Elizabeth died at age 42 when my grandmother was 11, and her father gave her to another Irish family to raise. She worked in their shoe factor at age 11 on! She was a very small woman and smoked Camels! A very feisty person! What I would not give to be able to talk to her now! inquiring minds want to know - Bob > Message: 2 > Date: Sun, 02 Jan 2011 13:26:31 -0500 > From: Bob Krebs<rnkrebs@wcnet.org> > Subject: [IRL-WEXFORD] GALAVAN - New Ross > To: IRL-WEXFORD@rootsweb.com > Message-ID:<4D20C357.8040201@wcnet.org> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > > I'm trying to find the GALAVAN family of New Ross.

In a book I have "a little history of st. Mary's and it's memorials" by Joe doran regarding cemetery: Synott date 1809 ...erected by Mary Synnott in memory of her husband James who departed this lifeOct. 22nd 1809 aged 38 yrs This cemetery is located in New Ross, county Wexford. Book does not have any other spellings of sin not etc. Kathleen Sent from my iPad On Dec 31, 2010, at 10:09 AM, patrobison@aol.com wrote: > I am looking for some Sinnett / Sinnott's that came from Co. Wexford. Unfortunately I have no idea where in Co. Wexford they are from. In 1860 Michael Sinnett was in the VA census stating he was from Ireland. His wife was Mary born in VA. I found a death certificate which I guess could be the one Michael Sinnott I am looking for which states his parents were James & Mary Senet from Ireland. Thus I could assume that James, Mary and Michael were born in Ireland. Would like to locate this family in Ireland, birth records, siblings, etc. Next would be to find out when Michael immigrated? Alone? With his parents? Was he previously married? Maybe in Ireland? Two children were listed in the 1860 census Michael 16 and Mary 6 which gives the idea that he may have been previously married and his first child Michael had a different mother. > > Any help?

I'm trying to find the GALAVAN family of New Ross. I have the father, Edward, born 1808/1809; Elizabeth, born 1842; Ellen, born 1845. The mother's first name may be Mary. The burial records of both Elizabeth and Ellen list New Ross, County Wexford, as the birthplace. They first show in the 1860 USA Census in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have found the name spelled as Galavan, Galavin, Galvin and Galvan, in the USA. I have checked all the civil and church records in the Cincinnati and Hamilton County area. Any suggestions are appreciated. Bob Krebs

Laurence, Just a thought. Is it possible you are looking at the marriage banns which could be announced in more than one parish. Peter

Thanks Keith! I know who wrote it, & have a copy of an earlier draft. That is about the SECOND family of Thomas Webster. The author & I are still desperately seeking the details of the first family. I really appreciate you sending me this information though, as I wasn't aware the book had come out! Thanks a million again Keith! Hilda Hi Hilda A book just out and called: British Home Children Their Stories has a 3 page summary on the Websters of Moneycross at Gorey. I can purchased from the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa or from the publisher Global Heritage Press. keith

Marian, Have you tried sites like NSW State Archives, Claim-a-Convict and Irish Transportation database? You don't give a name for the child, or who Eliza married or when she died. Do parent names appear on marriage or death certificates? Before looking for her birth around 1808, I wonder can anybody recommend a good site for Wexford BDM data pre 1864. There seems little data available. Peter in Sydney

Hi from a hot Australia I reasearching an Eliza Wilson born Wexford 1808, transported from Cork on the Andromeda 1833. Little is known of her until she appears in the shipping records as a single, nursemaid with a small child. Any ideas would be appreciated. Marian Hassett

Sorry, Hilda - I have no record of that in my research. Best regards.

Trying to find anything on the first family of Thomas & Elizabeth WEBSTER from Moneycross, Gorey. Or anything on Francis Kavanagh & Mary Willoughby from Ferns/Gorey.

Dear Patti & Laurie & anyone else that might know, Do either of you have a Francis Kavanagh who married Mary Willoughby - maybe Gorey - about 1850? The family emigrated to Canada where a daughter was born, but returned to Ireland again - possibly to Dublin. As far as I know Francis was one of the McMurrough Kavanaghs - but any records I have found just say Kavanagh. Many thanks! Hilda in Colorado
