Hi Terri I don't think we've been in touch before, but I was interested to see your connection with Anne Hawkins. Do you have any information on her parents? I've been researching HAWKINS too, as part of my husband's family. I'd be very pleased to compare notes and see if we have a link.

I have questions for the more experienced and those who have visited the Wicklow area.. Are there C of I in most communities and would records be kept locally? Do most churches have cemeteries attached? As far as the Griffith Valuation and other census substitutes, is my best source the National Library in Dublin? Are there other local sources? What help can I expect from the Wicklow family history centre - I have read conflicting reports on their service. Do they actually have records there? Are there other places I should put on my list for investigation [town halls and local libraries?]Any help the list can provide to help me get the most from the trip would be appreciated. I don't have much information about my ggg grandparents. He George ALCOCK born about 1770-1790, married about 1811 in Ireland, may have emigrated about 1843 and died before 1861 either in Ireland or Ontario. She Anne HAWKINS born 1794, emigrated 1843 to Ontario, died after 1861. Their offspring: William Frederick b. 1811, possibly in Wicklow, emigrated with wife Mary GRIFFITH and several children who were born in Antrim in 1852 to Ontario George b. abt 1813 Wicklow, may have stayed in Ireland Sarah b abt 1815 ?
