    3. Posted on: Ross Family Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Ross/626 Surname: ross ------------------------- Debra, Thanks for your response. The Rev.George Ross had at least one son George Richards Ross who was my GGrandfather.Here are the details Ihave of him. He was born 1810 in Limerick ,son of (Rev?)Henry Ross. Educated in Belfast Academy. Entered Trinity College Dublin in April 1829 and graduated in 1833 with a B.A.He was ordained in 1835for the diocese of Cloyne. (Co.Cork). In 1844 he arrived in Wexford as rector of St Enoch's Church in the village of Killinick.In 1854 he married Eliz. Marianne Richards 3rd daughter of Rev.George Richards of Coolstuffe.They had one son and two or three daughters.She died in 1872 and in 1873 he married Henreitta St. Eloy Hickey daughter of the Rev. William Hickey of Mulrankin, Wexford.He retired in 1880 and died on the 26th of Dec 1884. I see one of the names on your surname list is Willoughby. Whether it's concidence or not I don't know but my greatUncle, the Rev. George's grandson , bore the christian name of Willoughby. Its an unusual first name and though I don't know how they came by it, I feel it must be through a family connection.
