Dear George I too am searching for Lacy's in Wexford but do not know of any Finlen connection as yet. My earliest name is for Thomas Lacy born c1811. If you wish to share information or I can be of any help just drop me a line. Eileen

Thanks Cara for the info about sailing ports. My husband's ggg grandfather, Bartholomew Connors, sailed from County Wexford in 1816, do you think he also would have sailed out of New Ross? He was from the Kiltilly area, near Bunclody.

My g-g-grandfather, Bartholomew Dunphy, came from Kileashall, which is near Bunclody. In 1813, he was in Newfoundland, and then he was on Prince Edward Island in 1824. I went to Ireland a few years ago and stayed in Buncldoy. I was told by three different local historians there that people who lived in that area at that time generally shipped out of New Ross.

Between 1847 -1856 William Graves was shipping people out of New Ross - to Canada as we all know from the Coolattin Estate. They used the ships Aberfoyle, Agent, Albatross, Colonist, Confiance, Dunbrody, Dunbrody11, Erin, George Ramsay, Glenlyon, Harmony, India , Jane, John Bell, Juno, Lord Ashburton, Margaret, Margrette, Pandora, Peterel, Pilgrim, Progress, Scotland, Solway, Standard, Star, Syria, Tottenham, Triton, Virginius, Wandsworth, Woodstock, W S Hamilton Father Hore when he decided to encourage people to follow him to America had the emmigrants make their own way to Liverpool and there they began their long and weary sea voyage to the states He used three ships Chasca, Loodianah, and the Ticonderga. So it would be safe to say that New Ross would have been a departure point for some sailing vessels......... The departure place is going to be subject to why they left Ireland? and When they left Ireland ? Cheers Cara

I have an Owne Doyle, married to Anna ? who was born ca 1840 in Co. Wexford and died in Chicago IL. They had no children. I would like to find his parents. Does anyone connect? Thanks! Bill [email protected]

Thanks, Cara, that was very helpful. Beth

We visited Cobh (say "Cove"), also known as Queenstown, and thoroughly enjoyed the museum there. It was a point of departure and has stories, items from ships, lists of things people took with them, photos, maps, and wonderful life-size dioramas showing life in steerage. I believe the Lusitania sailed from there. Jane COONEY Waterbury, CT, USA

List, I think that the obvious is being missed. Rosslare was the main link with the UK at one time. It's only a short hop. I have seen information somewhere that the rail companies put a lot of effort and money into the Fishguard harbour - I think that this may have been before Telford finished his road to Holyhead. Perhaps it was at Rosslare Harbour that I read it or Wexford Library. USA was primarily I believe, either Dublin-Liverpool or Cork (Cobh) I think that snippet came from the Irish Agricultural and Famine Museum at Johnstown Castle, Wexford.

Hello Bernice, No I don't know which port would have been used from Wexford, possibly Dublin which is only a few miles up the coast or maybe Waterford, (a town and port as well as county) or even possible Cork. I am watching with interest for an answer to a similar question posted on this site over the weekend entitled 'Point of departure' hoping someone will reply to it. My Doyles came over to England and I presume they came Dublin - Liverpool, then the train to London, but I don't really know and sadly didn't ever think to ask my grandma when she was alive: the things we could have asked had we been interested at that time! The only thing I really remember her telling us with great amusement was that her brother came over from Ireland to find her, obviously didn't realise what a huge place London is, though he must have known which area she was in, and he went round knocking on doors asking "Does Lizzie Doyle live here?" ! Sorry I can't be of more help. Tina

Thank you Tina for your e-mail. My John Doyle would have been about 4 years old in 1853 and then again would have been about 9 years old in 1858. I have been told that Doyle is a very common name at Wexford, the way Smith and Jones are in the US. The John Doyle that I am looking for is my childrens 2nd-Great Grandfather. I have followed him on the US Texas Census. On the 1910 Census, John said he was born at Wexford Ireland and that his parents were also born there - On the 1920 Census, he said he immigrated to the US in 1866. Do you know what Port he could have left Ireland from (1866) since he was from Wexford? Thank you again for your interest... Bernice Hope Doyle @ Texas

Hi Bernice, I have a JOHN DOYLE shown on Griffiths valuations Wexford 1853 seeming to lease - along with 2 others - 51 acres of bogland at the Townland of Ballytracey from a John Swan.Apparently there doesn't appear to have been a dwelling house there at Ballytracey at that time so he must have lived elsewhere. There is another record of a John Doyle living at Ballytracey in 1858 which someone - a Murphy - told me about. Apparently the MURPHYs lived there at one time, then the DOYLEs probably when my DOYLE married a MURPHY. Tina Oates @ N. Yorkshire England

Two questions for someone to shed some light on, please: What was the point of departure for those leaving Wexford for the States, particularly during the famine years (1845-50)? In other words, what route did they typically take? How did Wexford fare during the famine? I have read where it was not impacted as severely as were the other counties . . . any thoughts? Or can someone point me in the right direction for more info? Many thanks.

I am trying to locate the parents and siblings of John H. Doyle, born June 01, 1849 at Wexford. He emigrated to America in 1866 when he was in his teens and apparently by himself. John was of the Catholic faith. I am hoping that I can find some information through his birth date since Doyle is such a common name in Wexford. Can anyone help me? Bernice @ Texas

As a newcomer to the list, I am wondering if anyone has any connections to the townland of Ballytracey, at Boolavogue. In particular I am looking for DOYLE and MURPHY families known to have beern living there mid 1800s. My grandmother ELIZABETH DOYLE was born there in 1875 registered at Monageer. Her parents were LAURENCE DOYLE and MARY MURPHY who married in June 1874 at the Catholic Chapel of Boolavogue, district of Ferns. LAURENCE DOYLE was the son of EDWARD DOYLE - servant (but where?) and MARY MURPHY was the daughter of PATRICK MURPHY - servant (again,where?) I particularly wish to find the wife of EDWARD DOYLE and also that of PATRICK MURPHY. I cannot send for marriage cert. copies until I know the names of the spouses. Hope someone can enlighten me. Tina Oates (in Engand)
