    1. Re: [IRL-WEXFORD] Belmont, Wexford - death Jemima BEDDY
    2. Valerie, I have a couple of choices for "Belmont" for you. There is a house called "Belmont" in Rathfylane townland, about 3 miles north of Clonroche. And there is a house called "Belmont House"..........and I'm not sure of the location. Based on the map coordinates, it should be in the Newtown (more than a dozen of 'em in Wexford !!!) in Carrick civil parish, a couple of miles NW of Wexford town, on the Slaney. But the source mentions Forth barony, and Carrick is in Shelmaliere West. And here's the source (I know....you could hardly wait). Go to the Buildings of Ireland website, www.buildingsofireland.ie Click on the Browse the Survey window. Click on Wexford County on the map. Then, I went to the Advanced Search and entered only the one word, Belmont, in the "Name" box. And I got two Belmonts, with photos, history, location, etc. You could also access these with the Quick Search option, and entering their Registration Numbers. They are 15702501 and 15703733. Note that the dates for one of the houses is from the beginning of the 1800's up to 1840, while the other house is from 1841 up to the 1900's. But they don't seem to be connected in any way. There's a lot to read there, in any case. Enjoy. Pete - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts </HTML>
