William SLY(b.1760-d.1859). William had 6 children that I know about. Unknown son(1793-1811), Henry(1802-1882), Catherine (unknown dates), Adam(1810- 1881), Thomas (1821-1902), Ann (1825-1843), Sarah (1828-1843). I am descended from his son Adam. Near as I can tell William left Wexford CO. Ireland and arrived in South Crosby Twnp in 1814 with his wife, Betty SHALES(or possibly her name is Elizabeth). South Crosby is a township in Leeds County, Ontario, Canada. This is my first time posting to this list so any help at all would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

I am doing research for the (O)Brien & soundex names (eg /Bryan/Breen) for the county of Wexford. If anyone else is doing research "county wide" for a surname please foward web page address so I can add them to my web site. (That is research beyond a single family connection).

Good Day, All, I am a new member living in Durban, South Africa who has recently discovered that one set of great great grandparents apparently hail from Ireland. I do not have a great deal of information at this stage but I have been able to work out the following: My great great grandfather, William Lodge, was born circa 1794 in the County of Wexford, Ireland. He joined the 75th Regiment circa 1820 and, at some stage, ended up in Cape Town, South Africa - date of arrival unknown. He lived in Cape Town, South Africa at least until 1842 or 1843 and, on 15 October 1838, he married Elizabeth Brown who was apparently born in the County of Armagh, Ireland. A relative of his, possibly his father, wrote the following letter in 1841 - >To the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope > >Donard >Sept 20th 1841 > >Sir >Being informed by the war office of London that Wm Lodge who had been >private in the 75 Regt of foot was discharged in the year 1836. I trouble >you with this to ascertain whether he is yet in the Cape of Good Hope in any >situation whatever. By kindly acquainting me with whatever you know of him >you would greatly and for ever oblige. >Sir >Your very humble servt >Francis Lodge > >Might I request of you Sir to direct your letter immediately after receiving >this, according to the following address >Francis Lodge >Shop keeper Donard >Dulavins >Ireland > I do know that Donard is in the County of Wicklow but William Lodge's marriage declaration states he was born in the County of Wexford and I thought I should first look for him in Wexford before moving onto Wicklow. I have looked for William Lodge on the IGI with no success and now find myself appealing to the members of this list for any assistance they may be able to give. Regards, Pat Smith

My dad has a copy of the book itself, and the piece on our family (CODD) is very detailed and informative. Dad says some of the pieces are sketchy, but by and large, the book as a whole is very good.

I posted a query a few weeks ago, looking for further information on Richard Musgrave's book on the 1798 Irish Rebellion. I mentioned that I had hit the proverbial 'brick wall' in my research for my James Doyle & Ann O'Brien ancestors of Enniscorthy, Wexford. Two people contacted me, asking that if I found out any further information on the book, would I please keep them in mind. Unfortunately, I lost my e-mail program and a list of my actual e-mails, including their names and addresses. If they are reading the Digest, would they please contact me again?

What do we know about the location and identifying of grave monuments in County Waterford. Our family thinks we know the cemetery, Old Killea Church, where our great great gandparents, and one of their sons,and probably their daughter and her husband, are buried, circa 1860. Some of us have been there and found it over-grown, with many of the monuments down and most unreadable due to the ravages of time. A woman in the area, know to us as "The Corgi woman" because of her many dogs, said she though that JOHN and MARY MORRISSEY were buried and marked in the old cemetery and indicated a particular place in the cemetery. What do we do now? There are obviously many issues and avenues to approach this but I would like to hear from you as to any experiences or advice you would have. Rule out nothing; we can pretty much do anything it takes. Any help appreciated. Slainte, Tim

Thank you to all that replied to me about the book. In looking at the list, I was surprised at the difference in the names. Not Kelly, O'Connor, O'Brien or Fitz-anything. It shows the diversity of Wexford. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than I, can answer that one. Speaking of knowledge! Many have asked me for help. I am not a professional researcher. As Celestine can attest, I can not even find data on my grandparents that left Ireland in 1903. I think they hid behind a tree anytime someone asked questions. I have a CD Vital Records Index British Isles listing SOME births for 1864-1874 and have done some lookups for people on this list. If anyone else has a reference material perhaps we can help each other. Joan rolfes@erols.com STAFFORD/CARBERY/CURTIS/CAIN All Wexford

For Shaun Bryan-- I was perusing the FTM CD of Griffith's Valuation Index, and happened to find a Michael and a Thomas BYRNE listed at Ballymacar, which shows as located in the parish of Oldross. Also listed in Ballymacar is a Thomas WALSH. Did you already have this info? Tried to search the Index for a placename of Grasscur, but came up with nothing. Regards, B.J. Thiele

Could the MEYLER/MYLER searcher contact me rolfes@erols.com I have some information. Joan

There is a book Families of Wexford written by Hilary Murphy. This book gives origins and Histories of Many Wexford names. The book is out of print but was filmed by the LDS and is on microfiche. I ordered it for my LDS and these become permanently part of my LDS. It contains 4 microfiche and cost a whopping 60 cents . I urge others to do the same to save this part of Wexford for later searchers. You can then get copies made of your family to incorporate into your records. I have a list of all names included and if the list and list owner (do we have one?) wishes, will post them. Joan

Thank you, Joan, for your offer to post all the names included in Murphy's work; I certainly would welcome it as I'm working of several Wexford families and can use all the help available. Sure hope that Hugh allows the posting!

Good day listers, I have not been personally communicating with Celestine, but do want to wish her well in her move to the US. I do hope she is coming to one of the largest, truest Irish communities in the nation. Butte, Montana. If you are Celestine give me a holler, I am about 35 miles from Butte, everyone there is Irish enough to make you feel at home. You do such grand work and are so generous, it is folks like you that make this genealogy searching such a joy.

Dear Joan, I recently posted a query looking for a Morgan's Hill, hoping it will lead me to the township of my Great great grandparents in Wexford. Morgan and Mary FLAHERTY/O'FLAHERTY. A dear sweet person directed me to a specific town, Kilmore, Co Wexford. and the Parish Priest, I am waiting for a reply from him regarding any record of FLAHERTY he may have. You mention a book, Families of Wexford written by Hilary Murphy. I would really appreciate it if you could print the names listed. I could then have it ordered through the LDS family center near me if my family happens to be included in the publication. Thankyou so very much, Cheers Sharon from Montana.
