Dear Annie; Now this might not have anything to do with you but nothing ventured nothing gained. My G.G.G. Grandparents were John Smith and Mary Warren. But I see they are about a century older. Now they were living in 1819 in North Eastern Kilkenny but had moved there from somewere in Ireland a little before that date. I've suspected Wexford but really don't know I've been suspicious that they might of migrated from the New Ross area of Wexford. They were Prodestant's and maybe even Palatines. There is so much we don't know when searching back so far one must just grab at straws. And the name Smith doesn't make it any easier. If anyone could give me more info about the New Ross area I'd be happy to look into their history.

I know Smith is a common name but in Wexford?? Would anyone have come across a marriage of a John Sinnott & Mary Smith around 1870s? Mark

I have a death record of Mary Smith from Ballinastraw aged 60, on 3rd February 1907 in Glenbrien. No marriages or witnesses of any Smith names in Glenbrien 1860-1925. No births from 1860 to 1865 - nor witnesses in Glenbrien.
