Hi all, I've been following this list for years and now there appears an item that's close to my ancestors. Robert my 2nd Great-Grandfather and his wife Sophie came from Cork to Miramichi, NB in the early 1800 [no confirmed date] via Wexford. Maybe they appear on some of the records/documents you folks mention here. I would sure love to hear some confirmation of their departure/ship/etc. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data on Robert C Wigmore Robert C. was born in Ireland. Robert emigrated to Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada from the 'County of Wexford', Ireland {I believe Robert came from Cork}. Sophie [nee COOKE] and Robert were to move to Wigmore Road, PEI. They were the first settlers of this place from which it got its name. The known children of Henry & Mary [Cooke] Wigmore were: William, Henry W, Robert C, Thomas and an unnamed female. In Thomas' Will he mentions his brothers. Robert C immigrated to Canada. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... and I trust you're having a great day, Clarence Wigmore e-mail: [email protected] Researching: Abbott, Banks, Beaton, Bertram, Cook(e), Folland, Halliwell, Hogan, Ramsay, Read, Stevenson, Taylor, Weeks, Wigmore At 04:00 PM 2/9/2006, you wrote: >What a great question, one that has puzzled me for many, many years.

Rose, I really don't know the area of County Wexford very well. All I know about our Bartholomew Connors, is that he emigrated around 1816, from the Kiltilly/bunclody area. He was single at the time. I have no connections, yet, to any other Connors in Co.Wexford. I really wish we had a father's or mother's name, it would perhaps make it easier. Whereabouts is Ballycanew, is it near Bunclody?

I have a Thomas Doyle (1856-?) who was married New Ross, Co. Wexford in 1887 to Mary Anne Hanrahan (25 Mar 1860 - ?). She was my ggrandmother's sister.

Any chance your Connors were originally from Cork. I don't know when they came but it would have been in the early 1800's and they ended up in Maine. My Wexford family (Dooley's and O'Brien's) came in the late 1800 and they did come from London. Lynn

Jack, whereabouts did your Connors relatives emigrate from in County Wexford. Could there be a connection between my husband's family and yours? I have copies of three very old letters that leads me to believe Bartholomew Connors came from the Kiltilly area. He was granted a Land Grant in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 1819, lived, married and died there.

What a great question, one that has puzzled me for many, many years. My ancestors also left Wexford in 1816 and it has always been the belief that they sailed from County Cork. (Presumably, they travelled overland from Wexford.) I was always left with the understanding that Passenger Ships did not depart from Wexford in the early 1800s, at least, this was the explanation for Cork departure. I suppose that does not eliminate the possibility that an ancestor may have left from Wexford on a fishing vessel owned by some merchant who were looking for skilled people such as Coopers in their new land.. Jack Connors May you never Forget What is worth remembering Or remember what is Best forgotten.

No, unless they are somehow related to my Mary Doyle...the problem here is that I don't know where the Bolger family lived in Wexford. I need to pin Edward Bolger-with-family down somewhere before I hunt for Mary, I think, but I jumped in after reading the few Doyle messages. Thanks anyway!

I have a Mary Doyle who married Edward Bolger, had 10 children, he emigrated with some of the children, possibly in the mid 1840s and she brought the 7 remaining children in the Margaret out of Waterford Port with a Master out of New Ross, to America and joined her husband in Dodge County, Wisconsin.

Dear Jack et al, On 21 May, 1848, my Mary Bolger and her 7 youngest children, following her husband Edward and some older children who had preceded them (date etc. unknown), emigrated from Waterford Port in the ship Margaret with a Master out of New Ross, Wexford. I found her in "Famine Immigrants", Vol 2, p. 405 and ordered the ship manifest page they were on from the NARA. I realize you are referring to the earlier immigrants, but thought I'd throw this into the brew. I don't know where in Wexford my Bolgers lived, for sure. No one I've asked seems to be able to direct me to the likely part of County Wexford.

I have a Mary and Margaret Doyle, who came from Wexford about 1850. They reappear in 1870 when Margaret married a James Shanahan, and Mary married a John Miner. They live the rest of their lives and died in Chicago Illinois, Margaret in 1889 and Mary in 1921. Marilyn Shanahan ----- Original Message ----- From: "William T.

Earle, we hope your letter to Fran would be online to the list. I think probably many of us are interested in this. I had never heard of sailing from New Ross. I had heard it would have been from Dublin or Liverpool. By the way, I have at home a list of Brennans who sailed around 1890 into Baltimore if anyone is interested. I have names, dates and ship names. Unfortunately, home is 3 months away from me. Save or bookmark this if it's important enough for you to wait. Milli

I am going to send you an e-mail directly later to answer your question, and will include a few pictures.

I want to add my thanks too, and follow up on Fran's inquiry with regard to earlier ships sailing from Co Wexford . My Thomas Sinnott and Jane Kincade both from Co.Wexford arrived in New Brunswick Canada in 1821.
