Hi All I am now stating to help a friend that lives in Wicklow get their family sorted!!! They can get back to about 1850 when a John STINGER "appears" in Ballyloughlin (just north of Newcastle). There seem to be Stringers in Arklow and Gorey but they need to make their links. If you have any information ..... All the best Brendan .
