HI Everybody I have been very remiss over the last while and things are gathering dust in my study. I have made no breakthroughs and awaiting the chance to chase after some MASONs (from Glasnamullen) that are connected. Regards Brendan

Hi Cara getting back into your stride ! Roll Call- Wm Golding Joseph Ta me annseo ! Still searching Blake & Butler Are you serious about your visit to Co Wicklow 2010 ? Do you wish to broadcast an event or a gathering of likeminded bods ? When will your visit begin ? Golding

Sheila asks: === They lived in a little village called Ballymaconey, just outside of Rathdangan. They would have been Roman Catholic. Hugh Byrne died December 9, 1899 and his wife Bridget died November 19, 1911. I have no idea where they would be buried. Do you have any ideas? === Sheila, There is a cemetery attached to the Church of Ireland in Kiltegan village, but there is a slightly closer, non-sectarian, graveyard about a half-mile east of the village, but still in Kiltegan townland. The archaeologists for the Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow visited this graveyard in 1995, and wrote: "The graveyard has recently been extensively cleared and the tombstones re-erected". This would be less than 3 miles from Ballymaconey townland. The only other graveyard in the civil parish is in Slievereagh Lower townland, about a mile and a half due north of Ballymaconey. The AICW book locates this cemetery, gives dimensions, etc. - but no mention of the content or condition of the burial ground itself. I think those would be your two nearest choices.

Hello Listers! Going to try this again...it's been a while. John M McGrath b) 1832 Wicklow, Ireland - d) 18 Feb 1894 National Soldiers Home, Hampton, Elizabeth City Co., Virginia USA We have been "told" that John graduated from Dublin Univ. at age 18 and that he and his siblings (only) immigrated to the US in 1850. No names for the siblings. Possibly a Barry. His military time consists of 2 tours in the Civil War (Union side) from 1861-1864. I have proof of this. He was a secretary for the Good Will Fire Company in West Chester, Pa, USA in 1869 and also from 1872 thru 1876. He appears in the 1870 West Chester PA USA census along with his wife Eliza (maiden name Riley...from Ireland), Mary, Thomas, Elizabeth, Catherine, John Jr., Susannah. Also in the 1880 Census same place, with wife and children. Wife Eliza died 8 April 1885, b) 1832 no other info on her. I also have news clippings that John was a time keeper for the railroad...sometime before 1891. John resided from 1891-1894 at the National Soldiers Home in Virginia where he died. Thanks for any help! ;)Christine Maguire

Pauline asks: === Can anybody tell me where I might get a list of RC cemeteries in Wicklow, particularly the Corballis, Rathdrum,Avoca, Kingston, Conary, Tigroney, Rockstown, Avondale areas? === Pauline, I think that perhaps you should not restrict yourself to RC cemeteries. To quote Brian Mitchell's "A Guide to Irish Churches and Graveyards": "Generally, Church of Ireland graveyards should be examined irrespective of an ancestor's religion". This is related to various laws, restrictions, etc. - primarily in the 19th and earlier centuries, I believe. All of the townlands, town and villages on your list are confined to the two civil parishes of Rathdrum and Castlemacadam. Starting with Rathdrum CP, and using Mitchell's book.....he lists a graveyard attached to the Church of Ireland church on Main Street, in the town. He also lists another graveyard in the civil parish, in the townland of Ballygannon. This would be immediately to the NW of the central area of Rathdrum town, perhaps out by the hospital. Just a couple of miles NE of Rathdrum, across the Avonmore River and into Kilcommon civil parish (Newcastle barony), there is a graveyard in the townland of Bahana surrounding the old ruined nave-and-chancel Kilcommon parish church. According to the "Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow" book: "There are several mid-eithteenth-century graveslabs in the church." This book doesn't comment on the contents of the exterior graveyard, but Mitchell does mention it in his book. Eugene Curry (who, years later, got-up his Irish courage and became Eugene O'Curry), in the 1838 Ordnance Survey Letters, does refer to a "head stone at the east gable inside, inscribed to the memory of the Revd. Bryan Byrne, dated 1776." No other mention of the graveyard. Another Bahana townland (actually Bahana (Whaley)), in Ballykine civil parish, three miles SSW of Rathdrum town, is the location of another graveyard (also listed in Mitchell's book). This is a reputed site of "Whaley Abbey", also referred-to as the "Abbey of Ballkine (sic)". The remains of the church are in the "center of a rectangular graveyard [snip] defined by a modern wall. [snip] Several mid-eighteenth and early nineteenth-century headstones also occur within the church." (AICW book). The OSL only mentions "an old Church called the Abbey". Moving south to Castlemacadam civil parish, there are six graveyards - one of which is attached to the RC church in Avoca village (also known as Newbridge village). This cemetery is cited in Mitchell's book. Three miles NNE of Avoca, in Kilmacoo townland, are the ruins of a church, together with a "disused" graveyard. The AICW does not comment on the graveyard, other than: "There are no early features visible in the graveyard". Remember, an archaeologist's meaning of "early features" may be quite different from that of a genealogist [gr]. In 1838, EC wrote in the OSL: "There is a burial ground attached to this place, full of old graves and thorns, and neglected now as a place of interment." Mitchell does not list this site. Less than a mile east of Avoca village, in Kilmagig Lower townland, is a graveyard with a "poorly preserved and totally overgrown" (AICW) church ruin at the N end of the graveyard. That book does not mention the contents of the graveyard. Mitchell does list it, however. Curry, in 1838, wrote: "There is a small and little frequented burial ground in the Townland of Kilmagig, containing the foundation of a little Church [snip]". In Castlemacadam townland, less than a mile S of Avoca village, is another burial ground. It is associated with a "now abandoned nineteenth-century church [snip] The graveyard is quadrangular, defined by a modern stone wall, and contains a number of late eighteenth and nineteenth-century headstones." (AICW). Mitchell identifies this apparently abandoned church as C. of I. The OSL doesn't mention the church or graveyard. Two miles west of Avoca village are the ruins of Templelusk Church and graveyard. The square graveyard enclosure lies on the west side of the church ruin, but the AICW book does not comment on the contents. Mitchell lists the graveyard. The OS Letters do not mention it. The final burial ground in the civil parish was in Kilcashel townland, about a mile and a half NW of Avoca village. Unfortunately, when the archaeologists visited the ruined church and graveyard site in May 1990, this was their conclusion: "There are no grave-markers visible within the enclosure.". Mitchell does not mention the place. But Eugene Curry, in the OS Letters, said: "There is a neglected burial ground in Kilcashel Townland with the foundation of the Church," About two and a half miles SW of Avoca village, but in Ballintemple civil parish (and Ballintemple townland). Mitchell lists the graveyard, the OS Letters don't mention it. The AICW book says: "The graveyard contains several early eighteenth-century headstones, including examples by Denis Cullen and James Byrne, and was last used in the 1940s for adults (local information suggests that children were buried here more recently)." I think those would be the most likely locations for burials pertaining to the townlands, etc. that you mentioned. Except for the cemeteries in Rathdrum town and Avoca village, all of the other locations are shown on Discovery map 62, defined by Ch., Church, or Graveyard - printed in red letters.

Hi Christine, Perhaps you would like to post a summary of the info you have on your McGrath. Pension Info, Military service, US Census info location and dates, Wife, Children - dates and places of birth and death, any alternate spelling of the name. The mailing list archives have 37 messages on McGrath - some of them are lengthy discussions. It takes quite a lot of time for someone to wade through and piece together the items to find a connection to you. Did he die before his wife ? If so, did his wife apply for a widow's pension ? My experience with the widow's pension application is that - I found the townland BALLARD for my Wicklow ancestors John O'Neill and Mary Doyle hiding in the small print of the document certifying their marriage in the RC church Kilbride-Barndarrig in Dec1855. I had the document for several years before I realize the word "Ballard" was written in it. Other places to search - Track down the children and their children in the US records - find as many as you have the stamina to pursue. My O'NEILL descendants resided in Buffalo, NY. One day I tracked down an 1930 US Census for a 2nd cousin that moved to California. It showed her as Head of House residing with an uncle, a Catholic priest, Father Edward Arthur BURKE. Never in our family did we hear of a connection to Burke. So I back tracked Father Burke through the US census - in 1880 he resided in Kentucky with cousin Kate DOYLE and in 1860 with parents John Burke and Ann Donnelly in Kentucky. Living close by was the family of Patrick DOYLE and Katherine Donley with 6 daughters - Mary, Margaret, Bridget, Kate, Eliza and Alice. Now I am trying to find what became of these 6 DOYLE woman. I have 2 of them located - still searching for the other 4. The marriage certificate in the widow's pension file shows that my ancestors John O'Neill and Mary Doyle were from Ballard, Co Wicklow. I am still looking for the information to connect Patrick DOYLE to Co Wicklow. Regards, Sheila Christine Hollars wrote, On 6/21/2009 8:03 AM: > Good Morning Listers! > I am a silent lister. Every once in a while I put in my query about John M McGrath, but since I have only his Civil War enlistment and discharge papers that list where he originated from, I only have County Wicklow to go by. I have a lot of information about him here in the states, but nothing that gives me any clues as to exactly where in Wicklow to look. So, I wait and read all the mail from Ire-Wicklow with hopes that someone out the just might be related (new to the list) or he might be mentioned in some form or another. I love reading everyone's emails! Not only are they informative, but pleasant to read. > I will continue to read with baited breath in hopes that sometime, somehow, someone might come across my John M McGrath! > Thanks for being a wonderful list!

As a boy in Ireland, Father attended a pay school conducted by Daniel Doyle. Came to New Brunswick in 1842 or 1843. About 1853 he bought what is now 108 Somerset Street." - Francis Dillon New (Dr. F.D.
