Thanks Peggy, The connections are mostly good and I can connect most of them (except Hugh) through South Australian records. The consistency of your records strongly suggests Hugh shoud be in the family as well. Luke and Esther had another child, Ann, born in Wicklow abt 1844, who sadly died in infancy of measles during the family's voyage to Australia in that same year. I shall light a candle for you!

Hello Gina (by way of Wicklow List). Could you please provide a timeframe for your story? I cannot find any dates so it is difficult to know when these events took place. Being interested in all-things-Kavanagh, I'd really like to know.

Hi Edd, Taken from MacLysaght The Surnames of Ireland. McCaul see MacCall Mac Call One of the many anglieized forms of Mac Cathmhaoil (see Cambell) of the Cenel Eoghain in use in Tyrone and Armagh. Also sometimes a synonym of MacCahill (see Caulfield) MacCalla In Donegal this is a variant of MacCauly: In Armagh of MacCall. Cambell Mac Cathmhaoil (battle chief) An Irish sept in Tyrone: in Donegal it is usually of Scottish galloglass origin. Caulfield The name of a very prominent settler family inUlster. It is used as a synonyn of MacCaul, Caffrey and Gaffney. Edd you also need to remember that alot of Irish immigrants could not read or write so the people at the port of entry would spell their name as they saw fit !!

Happy New Year Cara and listers Thanks for the invitation to once again post our Co Wicklow interests. I'm still searching for my gg grandparents William WHATELY and Hannah WHITE. According to the LDS Family Search site they were married in 1833 in the Province of Leinster, Diocese of Ossory. It was spelled WHEATLEY and I found it by accident. Now I am open to all spelling variations. The family over here pronounced it "Wait-ley." They had nine children - all but one emigrated to the US and Canada. Deborah stayed in Ireland and married Benjamin HORAN in the Parish of St Peter, City of Dublin in 1862. Debbie and Ben's address was 4 Kildare Place, Parish of St. Anne, Eadstown, Co Wicklow. Witnesses were Thomas and Jane Alexander. The other children were Thomas, William, Catherine, Elizabeth, Alice, George, Hannah and John - my great grandfather who was born in Kyle, Co Wicklow in 1855. Other towns mentioned byt he family are Kiltegan and Baltinglass. I recently learned that the son Thomas was with the Dublin police force for a short time before coming to Canada. And I found some military records for a William WHEATLEY who signed up in 1820 with the 19th Foot Regiment in Dublin and served until 1831. He was from Hacketstown which I understand is in both Co Wicklow and Co Carlow . . . .??? Thank you everyone for taking the time to read this - hope to hear from a cousin out there soon!

Dear Peggy Thanks for your information I did not have that one. In the 1800 there was two separate families living in Rathdrum, who according to a member of he other family were not related. Regards Dave

Dear Dave.... I roared laughing when you wrote the two Rathdrum families were not related, according to a member of the other family. My mother was a Weadick, born in Arklow, where the largest concentration of Weadicks lived. There are several branches of the Weadick lines and ALL of them were related, if one goes back far enough....all except ours! All I've ever heard from my mother and her 8 brothers and sisters was, "But they aren't OUR Weadicks". My maternal Grandmother was a Mooty, a name that Cara also claims, and a name that is now extinct. Everyone of my Uncles and Aunts and my mother always said they were the only Mooty family in Arklow. However, there were two Mooty familes in Arklow, all born at the same time, with the same names. There had to have been brothers with a common parentage, but it was before 1818, when the Arklow R.C. Church records started. Because of all that, I harvest any surname I am searching, and tuck them away in my files. It's how I found the other Mooty line. Good hunting, Peggy Leonard

Responding to Cara's invitation, Still trying to find any info from the Wicklow end re my GG/Grandparents Alexander and Mary TOOLE. They arrived in Adelaide, South Australia on the NASHWAUK on 1855/05/14. While this particular ship's manifest does not clearly identify family groups, there is considerable evidence that the other TOOLEs in the adjoining entries were their children: Margaret 22. Eliza 21 (my G/Grandmother), Mary 19, Denis 17 and Teresa 14. All of these folk are shown as being selected from Wicklow. It was some form of assisted passage thus the term "Selected". I have been able to construct a fairly complete picture of these folk in SA - albeit with some important gaps - but would love to build the picture back into Ireland. While I have not found any evidence of the use of "O'.." in Australian records, they may well have been known as O'TOOLEs in Ireland. Happy New Year to one and all. Brian DOWNIE Melbourne, Australia

Hi Tim: Is the McCaul surname an Irish variation of the McColl name from Scotland.

I don't have much, Paul, because Catherine's parents didn't go too far afield for godparents.

I have RC Mellons, but am unaware of where they came from. They settled in the Philadelphia, PA, USA area. They are mentioned as godparents to my Dowling relatives, who came from Wicklow. At this time I know nothing, other than their names. Can you provide anymore info on your Mellon folks?

Dear Peggy, thank you so much for thinking of me. I will see where this leads.

Hi Nancy Just going through some old digest mails and saw your post. I have 15 Patrick Brennans in my database. At least half of those don't fit your time frame. Here are the only two who do (with fathers named Patrick): These are Baptismal Records.... 1832, Dec. 29 - Patrick, son of Patrick Brennan and Judith Brien - Residence - Arklow Sponsors: Richard Cullen and Mary Toole 1833, March 22 - Patrick, son of Patrick Brennan and Mary Fitzwilliam - Residence - Mongawn. Sponsors: Arthur Byrne and Dora Murphy Good hunting, Peggy Leonard

Dear Cara, On the strength of your recent email I am again submitting stuff I sent to the list only a week or so ago. If this turns out to be repetitious for you then I apologise straight up. It's just that your mention of Gremlins started me thinking. Until yesterday, I had not seen a single email from the list for two weeks. This, it seems to me, is very unusual. Usually there is something to look forward to at least every other day or so. Now I think there must have been Gremlins, and I don't know which direction of traffic flow was affected. My current "road block" is the parents of my ancestor Thomas Trainor (born about 1836). I have information that apparently his brother Luke, was baptised in the Kilavaney ( Catholic) Church, near Tinaheley, on 22nd September 1822 and was the son of Thomas Traynor and Mary Connors. How can I find out who were Luke's siblings, and thus have the evidence I need for the tree I have tentatively drawn up? I also believe that there was another brother Patrick (born abt 1825) and they three migrated to South Australia in the mid 1800s. To allay your interest in why I am in pursuit of my family tree; As a child, I became aware that my ancestry was not spoken of all that much. I did not know why then but apparently the Trainors, of any generation, are not regarded as "good communicators". Now that I am (much !!) older, I have resolved to leave something more for my grandchildren - a history they will hopefully be proud of - a history that will enhance their own understanding of themselves and their own identity. The pursuit has been challenging, at times exciting, and always rewarding. I find warm fellowship among family historians that extends from the local library to the far corners of the globe. I meet people like you, Cara, whose contributions make the "global village" a reality. Thankyou. Regards Terry Trainor

Hi Terry... I don't know if there is any connection, but I have four Baptismal records for children of a Luke Traynor and Esther Kirwan, living first in Rossahane for the first two Baptisms, then Aughrim for the next two children, all Baptized in Co.
