Dear Charlene Shelton was the seat of the Lord Wicklow his home being Shelton Abbey which stood in the Shelton Demense I recall I sent the name BEATTIE to you and you dismissed them as not yours wrong spelling I apologise now if you are not the person I sent this data to .............further to this research I can now say quite clearly that although the name is spelt on their headstones as BEATTIE, they are indeed the BEATTY's of SHELTON. All be it that the headstone in Old Kilbride does have carved on it BEATTIE - but one must never close their eyes to the variables of ones name in Irish research. I have also cross referenced with the headstone to the burial book and this is what I have OK= Old Kilbride burial no167/Elenor BEATTY//Shelton16/11/1844 aged 66 buried OK by William Daly burial no 282/John BEATTY/Shelton 15/6/1848 aged 77 buried OKby William Daly burial no 549/Michael BEATTYof Ballinacor ( Living Parish of Inch) buried 22/1/186 aged 22 yrs 2 months buried at OKby William Daly burial no 665/John BEATTY of Ballinacorburied 28/5/1867aged 19 buried OKWilliam Daly headstone says says 18 registers says 19 * Died 26/5/1867 burial no 671/ John BEATTY of Ballinacor buried 19/8/1867aged 5 yearsburied OKby William Daly burial no 699/Michael BEATTYof Shelton Demense buried 31/8/1869 aged 43 buried OK by Rev Charles P O'Meara Curate of Arklow *Died the 18th August 1868 and it says on the headstone he was 54 and the register states 43 years of age ( I also wonder what the delay in burial was ?) Hope this helps in your search, as Shelton is indeed the area of where you will find Shelton Abbey on the Beech Road on the way to Avoca ....................I cannot read a map I leave that to the experts to give you map co-ordinants. ----- Original Message ----- From: <charw@sympatico.ca> To: <IRL-WICKLOW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2006 3:55 AM Subject: [Wicklow] Shelton, Ireland - Help > Can anybody tell me where Shelton in Co.

Thank you Cara. Much appreciated. I am the one from before and didn't entirely dismiss it as errors in spelling happen by those other than family. I do know that there is also a John BEATTY in Kiloughter as transcribed by Brian Cantwell with the spelling BEATTY. Uncle John's letter clearly spelled it BEATTY but you never know so have not closed the door but Uncle John would have been in his 70's at the time of the letter. I am on the road for business so info is back home but will explore this further then and send the additional info I just found last week. Appreciate all the effort you do for us, it is so helpful. Some day I want to tread the roads of ireland and I am slowly mapping the places I would go. One would be to enjoy a "pint" with you to meet face to face.
