Hello all, I'm trying to find out anything on the above duo. James Wadden married Mary Keravin. They had sons Luke born Apr 1867, Henry born Jan 1878 , Phillip born Apr 1871 and Bridget born Jun 1874. My great grandfather was Luke and his birth cert says he was born april 30th to James and Mary Wadden of Bridswell, Camolin, Gorey. I know Luke went on to Arklow and started a family there but I'm looking for where James and Mary came from and any info on the rest of the group. Thanks for any info. Bill McCann

Hi Peggy, Have just seen an email that you replied to about the Wexford Baptism Database. Is it on line anywhere? Thanks Bernadette

I haven't sent anything about Wexford Baptisms. I am looking for marriage certificate for Richard Harding and Bridget Murphy around the early 1800's-1820.

My gg-grandfather was Thomas Cushing from Cool, County Wexford. I don't have his wife's name. They had the following children: Catherine, Laurence, Edward (my great-grandfather) and Mary. Mary married Thomas Sullivan. Laurence married and had a daughter Anna who married a Capt. Colfax, and English Army Officer. My g-grandfather Edward married Mary Whelan. Mary Whelan's father was Thomas Whelan;her mother was Thomas' first wife. Thomas was married three times; his third wife was a Stafford. Thomas and his first wife had the following children: Joseph Whalen, married Ellen Stafford; John; Mary (my great-grandmother who married Edward Cushing above. Thomas and his second wife (unknown) had a son William. Thomas and his third wife (Stafford) had 2 children: Capt James Whelan who married Margaret Murphy; and a son, name unknown. >From above g-grandfather Edward Cushing (d. 1903 in Wexford; a stone-mason and builder) and Mary Whalen my g-grandmother were the parents of my grandfather Thomas Cushing. Thomas had a sister Joanna (b. April 7, 1867), and a brother Laurence (b. August 6, 1869). Brother and sister died young near Ramsgrange. When he was baptized my grandfather Thomas Cushing (son of Edward Cushing and Mary Whelan)his godfather was Paul Kehoe of Strokestown, County Roscommon and his god-mother was Mrs. James O'Neil (nee Mary Brine) of Campile, County Wexford. I don't have much data to substantiate the information above. Any help locating information for Thomas Cushing my gg-grandfather and Thomas Whelan would be helpful. I have contacted a number of churches in the Ramsgrange and Horeswood area and have obtained only baptisimal certificates for Joanna and Laurence Cushing the children of Edward Cushing and Mary Whelan. If you can assist me I would greatly appreciate any help in filling in the blanks.

I checked the Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns of Ireland for 1851. There is no Modlintown anywhere in Ireland. However, there are 3 Maudlintown listed in Co Wexford. The information given is: Town: Maudlintown County: Wexford Barony: Forth Civil Parish: Maudlintown Poor Law: Wexford Town: Maudlinstown County: Wexford Barony: Bantry Civil Parish: St Mary's Poor Law: New Ross Town: Maudlintown County: Wexford Barony: Bargy Civil Parish: Kilcavan Poor Law: New Ross These websites may also be helpful: http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_start.php http://ifhf.brsgenealogy.com/map.php Beth On Jan 18, 2009, at 10:41 PM, johnastbury wrote: > Good day to everyone > > I am a new subscriber to the list as, per the 1911 census, I > finally have a > birthplace other than Ireland for my ancestors, Patrick & Catharine > Leary! > > But a Google search fails to locate 'Modlin Town Co Wexford' - can > anyone > help please? > > > > > > > Wexford Surnames List > > http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/wexford.html > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WEXFORD- > request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message

Would that be Maudlinstown in Wexford?

There are two townlands called Maudlintown. The Ordinance Survey maps representing Co Wexford has 40 sections. References to Maudlintown are(1) 33-C2 near Wexfordtown; (2) 37-B1 37-B1 is on route R736 just south of wellington bridge. 33-C2 is just south of Wexfordtown(or Wexford City) at the junction of R730 & R889. keith hanton On 18-Jan-09, at 11:41 PM, johnastbury wrote: > Good day to everyone > > I am a new subscriber to the list as, per the 1911 census, I finally > have a > birthplace other than Ireland for my ancestors, Patrick & Catharine > Leary! > > But a Google search fails to locate 'Modlin Town Co Wexford' - can > anyone > help please? > > > > > > > Wexford Surnames List > > http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/wexford.html > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > WEXFORD-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Anonymous asks: === But a Google search fails to locate 'Modlin Town Co Wexford' - can anyone help please? === The townland of Maudlins (once-upon-a-time also a Town) is located about a miles ENE of New Ross town, in St. Mary's (New Ross) civil parish. There are also two townlands named Maudlintown: One forms the southern end of the village of Wellington Bridge - in Kilcavan civil parish - near the Bannow estuary, and the second Maudlintown lies in its eponymous civil parish and is embedded in the southeastern part of Wexford town, fronting on the harbor.

Hi Eileen! I'm not sure I sent this bit to you or not. I recall your note below telling me that you have a Stafford that was a ship's captain. I'm still working on trying to pin down my great-grandmother Margaret Stafford and with help from you and others I seem to making some progress. The name place of Ballyvarig was great and substantiates her obituary that stated she was from Ballyvarig. Recently I went back and looked at the 1870 for Margaret Stafford and found such a person, whether she is my Margaret Stafford I am just not sure. The 1870 census says that Margaret was 21 years of age, which appears close to other data I have for her. For instance her obit says she was 34 in 1884 when she died. Margaret was listed as a servant and she lived in the 12th Ward in Baltimore City. The head of the household looks like "Fay" but I'm not sure. Anyway the name doesn't mean anything to me. Recently too, a subscriber to the Baltimore Roots web published directions to a number of Baltimore City Directories. There was free access to a 1864 directory so I took a look and she wasn't there. I think you know that my Kehoe family arrived in the US using the name Flynn because their father died and their mother remarried a John Flynn and all the children adopted the name Flynn. Well, there were some Flynns (my Kehoes) and I found a reference to my Great-grandfather Edward (Kehoe) Flynn, my great-great-grandmother Mary Flynn, and possibly Edward's sister Catherine and his brother James. There were a number of John Flynns (Kehoe) but I couldn't sort out if any was Edward's brother John. I also found a Samuel Lewis. A Samuel Lewis married Edward's sister Catherine Flynn (Kehoe). Samuel was a mariner just like Catherine's brothers. A Samuel Lewis also served with Edward Kehoe during the Civil War. I remember you saying you had a Stafford that was a ship's captain. Well, there was a Capt. Wm. J. Stafford who was listed as a mariner. He lived at 159S. Broadway. I was wondering if this person was related to you? I don't have access to all the directories that were listed and some required subscriptions, but there were also a few others that are free and I'll check those later. I was just wondering about this Capt Stafford-is he your Capt Stafford? Regards!

Thanks for your interest and help Joan! After your note I did some additional digging and I believe I found my G-grandmother Margaret Stafford in the 1870 Census in Baltimore City Maryland. Margaret was living in the 12th Ward in Baltimore City. The date of the census was 10 September 1870. Her age was listed as 21; her position was servant. It is difficult to read the name of the head of household but I don't believe it has any influence on her status. Your finding of Margaret Stafford age 21 arriving in NY on June 7, 1869 could be a connection. The age is off a bit.... but hopeflly they are one and the same Margaret. Could you please tell me the name of the ship and I can do a lookup on Ancestry when I can get to a library. With this information and help from other kind list members possibly I can narrow down any relatives of Margaret living in the Town Land of Ballyvarig. Again thanks for your assistance!

You seem to know a lot about my family. No I am not in Baltimore but I have had the help of many kind people who have checked church records for me. I am not positive but I think Edward arrived later then 1848 in Baltimore. First he arrived as a (Flinn, misspelling for Flynn). Edward's father James likely died in Ireland when Edward was 9 years old which would have been about 1850. His mother Mary Furlong Kehoe married a John T. Flynn. He came to the US with Mary, and Mary's children John, Edward, James and Catherine. Edward had many troubles getting a pension for his service in the US Navy during the Civil War because of discrepancies in his name and age while he was in the Navy. When Margaret Stafford arrived I'm not sure. She was born in 1850 in Enniscorthy and married Edward in 1872. She died in 1884. I think the Thomas you are referring to is my grandfather Thomas Cushing (Cushion) who was from St. James in Ramsgrange. The entry you posted for Thom! ! as is likely Thomas living on Mary Street with his mother Mary Whelan Cushing. Yes the Kehoes may have first lived in Canton. They also lived on Cambridge Street, Essex Street and later Castle Street. I don't know if Thomas came through Ellis Island-if he did I wasn't aware of that. You are right Thomas probably met the Kehoes in Baltimore. Thomas married Catherine Kehoe the daughter of Edward Kehoe and Margaret Stafford. Thomas and Catherine's first son was Edward. Thomas and Catherine were my grandparents. After Baltimore Thomas and Catherine lived in Philadelphia. Most of the Kehoes in the 1870's were seaman. Actually Edward my great-grandfather was on a ship called the Sangamon during the Civil War. James another son of Edward and Catherine's served as the chief engineer on the SS Minnihaha. He was one of 54 survivors when the trip was sunk by the Germans in WWI. Actually he lived in England near London. I have recently had some leads for Margaret Stafford and am checking now. I know she was from Enniscorthy and in her death obit it says she was a native of Ballyvarig. At first I learned that there wasn't any town land by that name. Only today I had a separate note that a Ballyvarig did exist at one time and there are a number of Staffords lived in that area. I need to follow up there more. I appreciate your interest and help in assisting me in finding information about my family. Thanks Joan!

Is he the one listed on Ellis as a crew member? So (just a guess) they probably met in Baltimore. The Keogh's lived in Canton near the port of Baltimore so a chance to meet a seaman. So many Staffords in Wexford and they all seem to have a Margaret. Not too many in Baltimore. I know this does not help but have you looked at immigration records or checked church records for Baptism and wedding sponsors as these may be relatives to Margaret? Are you in Baltimore to do this?

Contact information for the Roman Catholic parishes in Gorey and Kilanerin are listed on the website for the diocese of Ferns www.ferns.ie . On the right hand side of their homepage under Parishes select either Gorey or Kilanerin. Saint Michael Church in Gorey is by a famous architect whose name escapes me at the moment. I've read the entries with interest because of the mention of Gorey. My Rowan and Whelan ancestors are from that vicinity and had records in Kilanerin before coming to the US in 1850. There's also a Mary Brien who's suposed to be from Carlow (no more information than that) from around the same time period.

Mike, I forgot to say that other side of the road from Ballyvarig would be considered Ballycullane parish - maybe this is not a help to you? Also, one of my Staffords was a ship's captain.

Hi Annie - lots of LETTs in Wexford in the Griffiths, including a Thomas in Newtown, Kilmuckridge, Wexford; one in Ballyvadden, Kilmuckridge; and one in Clonleigh.
