    1. Re: IRL-WICKLOW-SPEAKING OF WEADICKS....
    2. Hi List I'm still hunting Weadick/Wadock, etc. So, to all you Historians.....is there anyone out there who might have heard the expression "Wagon Weadicks"? Recently, I was speaking with Jim Rees, and he told me about a group of people who came into Arklow, Co. Wicklow from the Wexford area (Castletown area). They were called "The Wagon Weadicks", since they came in wagons from the Castletown region. He didn't have a lot to say on the subject, and mentioned them only in passing at the end of my visit and we ran out of time. Our discussion had to do with 5 Waduck men in Wexford, accused of being Papists, who lost their land (6,000 acres) in the 1650s. I wondered where they might have gone, and if they might have ended up in Arklow. Some of the land bordered the Castletown region. Any input would be welcome! Cheers, Peggy
