Hi Kiltilly is in Kilrush Co Wexford .There are several Castlequarters in the country -in Clare,Roscommon,Waterford so there may be one in Co Wexford also ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 7:00 PM Subject: WEXFORD-D Digest V06 #4

It's 6 miles NW of Ferns town, and lies right along the north bank of the River Slaney, just south of Clohamon village. And you can locate Kiltilly from there. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

I received the following transcripts of gravestones in the Kilrush Church of Ireland New Cemetery: -------------- No. 9 -------------- In Loving Memory of MARY ANNE BROWNRIGG CASTLEQUARTER, DIED 27TH SEPTEMBER 1961 AGED 48 YEARS. ALSO HER HUSBAND HENRY, DIED 23RD JANUARY 1978 AGED 72 YEARS. "Safe in the arms of Jesus" --------------- No. 11 --------------- In Loving Memory of GEORGE LEVINGSTON KILTILLY DIED DEC. 9TH 1961 AGED 75 YRS ALSO HIS WIFE DORCAS D. LEVINGSTON DIED FEB. 25TH 1980 AGED 83 YEARS "THE LORD IS MY SHEPARD." Is Castlequarter a place name or a surname? If it is a place name, is there any other than in Donegal, Ulster? Where is Kiltilly? Thank you Irish geography experts! Jeff ------------------------------ Jeffrey L. Jernegan ------------------------------ Richmond, VA

If anyone has access to the marriage records of St. Aidan's Cathedral, Enniscorthy, for February, 1841, would you please be kind enough to do a look-up of Patrick Gahan to Margaret Lynch to determine the parentage of each of them. Thank you for any assistance. Seán O'Rourke Gahan Montréal

Dear Bernice @ Texas You might try St. Peter's Catholic Church in Rome, Oneida Co., NY. Many Doyles from Co. Wexford went there. Arthur was one of the Doyles which might account for the A initial. Some of the old ones lived at 611? Calvert St. I think that they might be cousins of the Murphys from Enniscorthy, Co Wexford. If you find a connection to the Murphys please contact me.

Hi Bernice. I'm trying to find out the same information on some of my relatives. Some death certs. have this info, but it always depends on who's providing the info. I've gotten some that just say 'unknown' for the parents' names. I don't know if this info would be on the Naturalization papers, and would like to know if anyone on the List could tell us that. I just received (from Albany Co. NY) what I thought was going to be the Nat. papers for my ggfather, but it turns out that it's more like an Index of names, dates, etc. Now I have to figure out how to get his original papers.

Hi Cyril, Thank you very much for your reply, I hadn't realised there were multiple Ballyduffs in the area. It looks as though Irish research will be very difficult if not impossible. We'll probably have to settle for visiting the area and enjoying the sights. I haven't found any more information available on my convict William Hayes, probably never will judging on the contradictory records here, so the Hayes line will remain a mystery. I might just make some fascinating history up :) We are looking forward to visiting Camolin and seeing the old Mill House, and hopefully meet Gillian Roark the widow of the Robin who died in 1990 and their children. Hope you get a break from list duties over the festive season and have a happy and safe 2006.

Hi Cyril, We will be visiting Wexford for a few days in early May 2006, intending to stay at Camolin and to see the old Mill House where about six generations of Roarks lived. My ancestor John Plummer ROARK born c 1835 in Wexford married Frances Emily BOLTON born c 1840 at Ballyduff, Wexford on 3 Jan 1861 at Ardamine. Fanny's father was shown on the marriage register as being William BOLTON, a trader. What records could I search in Wexford for Fanny's birth, are parish registers etc available there ? I would appreciate your advice. Thanks Ray Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

Hi Ray, how are things with you these days? Let's see what I have: Ballyduff, (711 Acres) in the Civil Parish of Kilcomb, in the Barony of Scarawalsh, in the PLU of Gorey. All I can say at the moment Ray is that the Parish records for Camolin are as follows: Baptisms: June 1st. 1853-Dec.10th. 1880 Marriages: March 10th. 1853-Feb.7th. 1880 Burials Jan.3rd 1858-Feb.7th. 1879 (all dates only refer to those held on film in the National Lib. of Ireland in Dublin. Film ref: Pos. 4257) Other (older) dates, may be held by the priest of the Parish in the local records? Do you want all the Ballyduff's I have? Townland Acres County Barony Civil Parish PLU Ballyduff 182 Wexford Gorey Ballycanew Gorey *Ballyduff 332 Wexford Scarawalsh Ballycarney Enniscorthy Ballyduff 711 Wexford Scarawalsh Kilcomb Gorey Ballyduff 87 Wexford Ballaghkeen Meelnagh Gorey Ballyduff 90 Wexford Gorey Monamolin Gorey I hope this helps, take your pick and I will find out from the Wexford Library what they have. It is most likely they will only have a copy of the film mentioned above. As always Ray and to the List: Nollaig Shona Duit agus Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit!
