A very Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too, Cara and all on the list. Eileen Howlin

I am planning a trip to Ireland in October and would very much appreciate some assistance. I will be travelling to Co. Wicklow and wish to find the following places if somebody could guide me: 1. Old Kilbride Cemetery; 2. Shelton, I know that Shelton Abby is on Beech road but could not find this on the map; 3. Is there an Anglican Church close to Shelton or Old Kilbride; 4. My ggggrandparents were married in Arklow, is there some a place there to research records. Daniel Beatty was Anglican but I am not sure about Jane Smith although I am told she was born there; 5. Any recommendations for record searching, either Anglican Church or civil registers; 6. Good places to stay at reasonable costs in that general area. We do enjoy B&Bs as you get to meet and know people that way or Inn type accommodation or good Pubs for my husband to wait it as I visit cemeteries and churches. Any assistance, recommendations, suggestions most welcome and very much appreciated. I am so excited to be going but just don't know where to start other than I must go to Old Kilbride Cemetery thanks to Cara who found some records for John Beatty (Beattie) there. I would love to meet the man she described in a previous email, who knows every stone and was responsible with Cara for getting money to clean up the cemetery. Thank you. Charlene

There's a reference in this timeline to 'Spanish Vikings' which I find surprising. And yes, it's most unlikely that Richard I spoke English. He certainly didn't speak Old English, and Middle English was scarcely in existence in 1200. The court spoke Norman French. For masses of stuff on this, see Crystal's 'The Stories of English'.

Hi Terry, My ignorance is great! What do the "Parochial records you mention cover? Regards Inga.

Hi Julie, This might be surperflous information but I am presently going through the LDS Family History Centre library film " Parochial Register of Hacketstown (Carlow and Wicklow) 1820 - 1880" (Film No 926115 Item1). I am looking for my Wicklow Traynor/Trainors and I have found a couple. Some things stick with you for a while, and I recall the name Keogh popping up reasonably often in this record. Maybe there are a few of your Wicklow Keoghs in there. There are no Keoghs in my tree (so far) but if you come across any Wicklow Traynors in your tree I would appreciate it if you let me know. Beware the film is rather difficult to read and so, like me, you might have to go over it a couple of times.

Terry, I just ordered the same exact film today ay my LDS Center in Nashua, NH. I was told it could take a month or more to get the film. That is OK, but if you happen to see a Wolohan, Oulighan in Hacketstown in your browsing..... I would be grateful to hear about it. Brian O.

In fact, there are only four townlands in Ardoyne CP, and Ardoyne townland accounts for over half of the area of the parish (the townland is 971 acres). Ardoyne townland has a more than four mile-long common border with Co. Carlow, and it is located just 2 miles ESE of Tullow town in Co. Carlow. There is a "poorly preserved" old church ruin in the townland, in conjunction with a graveyard which "contains a small number of late eighteenth-century headstones". There also appears to be a current Church of Ireland church in the townland (Holy Trinity?). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

I think I have found the answer to my own question: it looks like Ardoyne is the name of a civil parish in County Wicklow. If anyone knows if it is also the name of a townland, please advise. Sharon

Can someone help me find the townland of Ardoyne in County Wicklow? I have O.S. map # 62 but cannot find Ardoyne. Thanks, Sharon Kavanagh

A daughter of the late Patrick and Margaret Byrne, life for Kitty began at Killacloran and she later married Stephen (Sam) Doyle and together they reared a family of four sons, Michael, Brian, Alan and Gerry and one daughter Margaret. at Our Lady's Drive, Aughrim.

Her passing is much regretted in the area, not least by her family and relatives and the many neighbours to whom she was a true friend. Evidence of the high esteem in which she and her family are held in the community was manifest at her funeral, with the Requiem Mass concelebrated by V. Rev. Jerry O'Brien, Fr. C. Allman and Monsignor James Hammil, PP., Annacurra. Burial took place in Macreddin Cemetery. Wicklow People Feb 2006
