Hello Wicklow List Members, my sister has just returned from Ireland. at my request, she visited Co. Wicklow to poke around into the Alcock family history. I am the family member who has been researching the family history, so she did not have much knowledge of the family tree other than a few details - enough to pique her interest. she was able to locate a George Alcock on the Tithe Allotments. apparently in 1860 George Alcock, along with John Wilson, Thomas Hopson, George and William Driver and William Moody leased 483 acres in Upper Muckduff from William Hume. as I understand the info she gave me by phone Upper Muckduff is in the Barony of Upper Talbotstown, Parish of Kiltegan, Union of Baltinglass and Electoral Division of Humewood. she also found Alcocks, Hawkins, and Moodys buried in St Peter's Church Cemetery, Kiltegan. All of these names are associated with my Alcocks. is there anyone out there who knows anything about any of the names mentioned in this area? my sister visited the property and was allowed to go and have a look at the Alcock home on the property - the last Alcock having died a couple of years ago - a Mary Ann Alcock - it is a stone house in disrepair. I would be very interested in anything anyone can tell me about the Wicklow hills, Upper Muckduff and area. thanks, Terri Alcock Sooke, BC Canada

Hi Terri, I'm researching my Wilson line in Co Wicklow, and my cousin who visited Ireland this summer found somewhere in the Wilson line we're connected to the Moodys. He visited a stone house (also in disrepair) belonging to my GGG(?)grandfather, William Wilson in upper Drien. The house was still in the family until 1973. Maybe we're connected somewhere...I'm just beginning to search. What's funny is that up until 3 years ago, we lived in Sooke...we've moved to the other side of the Island now (Qualicum area)! The other Wicklow names I'm searching are Willoughby and Strahan. Happy hunting!

Hello Terri, I have a Susan Jackson who married Benjamin Driver in Carlow in 1862. I know they emigrated to America probably via Canada, where there were plenty of Jacksons already. I found this couple on the 1900 USA Census in Irondequoit, Monroe, New York They had 11 children and if you look at the Ellis Island website, you will find them travelleling backwards and forwards between Ireland and New York. Sometimes they travelled with "Sofrins", who were their first cousins. Nice if we could make a connection. Kind regards Inga Jackson Wellington New Zealand.
