Thank you Ann, Mike, Peter and Cyril for your assistance in finding a "place" called Archerton and with the information you have given me I realise it was not a town of Wexford. Sorry to go on about it, but I found this entry with my own family and that of another family who were not associated with my family, they are as follows: The Cork Examiner, 3 April 1861 > BIRTHS. March 29, at Archerton, county Wexford, the wife of James H. > Graves, Esq., of a son. The other is from IGI records William Henry Doyle b. 1878, Archerton, Wexford The date of each birth was far apart !!!! Could the same spelling error be made twice ? My question is are there any census records for Wexford available online during 1850's - 1880's ? where I may be able to find this home/town etc. Also, during my goggle search for the name Archerton I found a greyhound called Archerton Ash, is it possible Archerton was the name of a farm ? There is also a place in Victoria Aust, called Archerton, it is a Weather Station at present, in all these instances the name Archerton is spelt the same way. Sorry to be a pain.....

HI Colleen You make an interesting case for Archeron. The person Graves is an Esq which means he was somewhat rich and he had Cork newspaper mention the birth. I have a book called Wexford History and Society and no town there listed in the index. Why not write to Wexford, Ireland tourist bureau.
