Could someone please help me with information on my Grandfather James Short, farmer, Born around 1800, possibly Co. Wicklow. He married Anne Byrne 08/02/1850 in the Parish of Glendalough and both came from Freemont. Anne Byrne's parents I think are Murtii (Martha) Byrne And Margarita Carey but have no dates for them. James and Anne had 8 children. John (Owen) b 1852 Kilquade. Mary Agnes b 1853 Kilquade. James b 1855 ? Mortimer (Martha) b 1859 Kilquade. Catherine (Kate) Agnes b1863 Kilegar or Keelogue. Margaret b 1864 Kilquade. Anne b 1865 Newcastle Dist. Bridget b 1869 Keelogue. Anne Short nee Byrne, children and Granny Bridget Short, Jame's mother, emigrated to Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, in 1881 minus James Short Snr. Suspect he may have died in Ireland but can't find any record nor can I trace his parents or any of his siblings. I would be most grateful for any help. Regards June.

June, I think Anne Byrne's father would have been named Murtha or Murtagh, not Martha!

I suspect that the place you have named here as Glaneglough may be Glendalough which is famous for its round tower. Cara William born about 1809 Glaneglough, George born about 1813 Glaneglough, Robert about 1813, Charlotte about 1818 Glaneglough, Thomas born about 1821 Glaneglough, John born about 1829 Glaneglough. *** Please change the subject topic to suit your enquiry.

Thanks Cara I also thought it might be Glendalough but think the spelling in the register was Glaneglough so I used it. Pat

I have a Susanna Leggett married to William Mitchell of Tombeagh,Hacketstown, Co. Carlow Ireland. The Mitchell's are buried in C of I Hacketstown Church cemetery and my husband & I have seen the stone a number of times. It is flat and when we saw it in 1973 the writing was still very visible but in 2001 it could hardly be seen. The stone had written on it " William Mitchell" d April 1868 age 78 yrs and " Susanna Leggett d May 21, 1866 age 68 yrs. I was told by relatives that Susanna came from Coolafancy - near Tinahely - Co. Wicklow. I have no documentation to prove that. At one time we thought this couple were my gr grandparents, but my grandfather Robert Mitchell was born in c 1851 so perhaps they are another generation back. Gladys from Sask

Hi all, we have come to a unanimous agreement on the Wexford list that if someone does not delete the parts of a digest that are unnecessary to one's reply, and change the subject line, that person shall automatically be changed from receiving messages in digest form to individual messages. If you are interested in reading just a bit more, you can find the discussion in the Wexford archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/WEXFORD/2012-07 See What about the garbage there.

Dear Jim, This family of Legett may have left Ireland in the first clearances of the Fitzwilliam's lands which was pre 1845 and as you say 1816,( which fits the time frame of when they first left Ireland from that area) there is a family at Coolafancy burying there folk at Crosspatrick in 1855 and they are Church of Ireland Namely Robert Leggett whose wife was Elizabeth died 8/7/1855 aged 61 years. His son Richard died 9/4/1849 aged 34 and a daughter Elizabeth Legett died May 11th 1860. Then the only other Legett folk I know of are in Gorey the next town from Arklow Co Wicklow and Gorey being situated in Co Wexford Do you have Christian names of children of the family that left Ireland perhaps we can try for some similar names.

In February 1847, Cork Artist James O'Mahony ( 1810-79) was commissioned by the Illustrated London News to visually report on conditions in West Cork, his illustrations awaked the British middle-classes to the dreadful reality of a famine raged Ireland. This in turn promoted a wave of generosity from the British public in early 1847. O'Mahony also took notes on his assignment describing the misery he encountered. We came to Clonakilty and here for the first time the horrors of the poverty became visible Amongst them was a woman carrying her arms the corpse of a fine child and making the most distressing appeal... 'Unconffin'd, unshrouded, his bleak corpse they bore, >From the spot where he died on the cabins wet floor, To a hole which they dug in the garden close by: Thus a brother hath died, thus a Christian must lie! 'Twas a horrible end a harrowing tale, To chill the strong heart- to strike revelry pale No desease o'er this victim could mastery claim, 'Twas Famine alone mark'd his skeleton frame! This piece of prose whilst stark does clearly point out that the amount of people buried in the famine times, who will have no headstones to mark their last resting place. Sad to say the least Cara
