First off - If you are on multiple lists, I apologize for the 1 to N e-mails you may get from me. Please don't let this affect your decision to help me. Knowing how to reach the masses easily and quickly is a hidden BRASSIL secret. (( I also had to resend since i needed to join the lists first - sorry to kerry,cork,limerick & offaly lists)) ***** Why am I contacting you? ***** I have been tracing my own family tree but have encountered over 16 unconnected lines of BRASSIL BRASSILL BRAZILL (an alternate spelling by the English in Griffiths of my Brassil's of Tarmons Hill and Ballylongford, Co. Kerry) with over 2000 names across more than 5 countries and they are in my dB all ready (and more to follow). Many reach back into the 1800's Mine goes back to c. 1750 I have actually helped other families connect some lost lines and hope to one day publish a BRASSIL - History of & Genealogy book. If you have any of the above surnames in your family trees, please contact me. I would love to trade information. I have not only collected current names as well as ancestors but the general history tidbits and root/source of the name. thanks Bart NYC

Hi again, I thought Limore sounded weird so thought I had better check. It is the Kilmore district and RC parish. And there is at least one Sinnott still living there. Other towns nearby were Bastardtown, Clongaddy, Ballygrancans according to the 1879 map that I am referencing. Still haven't checked on other area which someone gave me name and I misplaced. LOL Cathy R

I believe there are Sinnotts in Duncormick, Wexford. Linda Diamond wrote: > > What parish(es), towns, etc. in Wexford would Sinnotts have come from?

What parish(es), towns, etc. in Wexford would Sinnotts have come from? All I have to go by at this point is a name, William Sinnott, married to Jane O'Neil 1700s. Thank you. Linda Sinnett

Hi Linda, My Sinnotts were from the Bridgetown district and the town most often mentioned is Rackardstown or Rickardstown as they spelled it in the 1800s sometimes. There were also Sinnotts in another spot which I will have to check. I know there are still Sinnotts in the first area but closer to Limore, I believe. Willl check with another searcher, although non-Sinnott, who has connections in the area. LOL, Cathy Rossing Peter Sinnott was gggfather who stayed in Ireland and signed lease in 1834 to a Nicholas Aylward Vigors. Michael Sinnott was ggfather who came to California in 1850. He returned in 1853 to marry Catherine Keating and they both came back to California that year. I am attempting to find siblings of Michael but nothing clear cut there as yet.

Hello I'm new to the list. My gggparents, PATRICK BYRNE and Ellen KELLY married at Ballindaggan near Enniscorthy around 1845 to 1849. Patrick was born at Enniscorthy around 1815.His parents were Patrick Byrne and Mary Murphy. He first married Bridget Mullins and their daughter Anne was listed as 58 years on his death certificate in 1889. He migrated to Queensland, Australia with Ellen and six children in 1861. I would be interested to hear from anyone researching these lines. Anne appears to have stayed in Ireland in 1861 as she is not listed with her father on the shipping list. Chris in Austalia

In the Vital recors CD for the British Isle, not a complete list. It lists 200 SINNOTT'S born in Wexford for 1864-1870. Most seem to come from South and Southwest areas. Any names in that time period? Joan rolfes@erols.com Reasearching STAFFORD CARBERY HALL

I am trying to discern the names parents of brothers Dennis & James Murphy. A cousin gave me a copies of baptismal records that he obtain on a visit to Ireland in the early 1970's. However the parents listed for these two gents are different. and that's where the confusion lies. Being such common names is there anyway to verify which is correct? The information on the certificates read as follows...., I Certify that..... James Murphy son of Charles Murphy & Austace Doyle joined in lawful marriage, was born on .... and Baptized according to the Rites of the Catholic Church on April 21, 1767. .....acting as sponsors as appears in the Wexford Parochial Register (church of the Immaculate Conception). I Certify that..... Dennis Murphy son of William Murphy & Elizabeth Byrne joined in lawful marriage, was born on .... and Baptized according to the Rites of the Catholic Church on March 10, 1771. Paul Roysiter (now may be Rossiter) & Ann Murphy acting as sponsors as appears in the Wexford Parochial Register (church of the Immaculate Conception). both signed by Gregory Byrne CC Dated: 11 October, 1972 when the copy was obtained. The other possibility is, I suppose, that they really were not brothers but cousins & brought up like brothers. The information that I do have on these gents is as follows... James Murphy (1766-Sept. 17, 1816), brother of Dennis, was born in Wexford, Ire & died (drowned) in Port Hood, Nova Scotia, Canada. He was one of the first to be buried in the Catholic cemetery there. James was a soldier in the 1798 Irish Rebellion. He served some time in the Royal Navy though I do not know what his rank was. He jumped ship & eventually arrived in Port Hood circa 1804. After receiving a pardon from the King of England, he was able to apply for a land grant in Port Hood, where he was a fisherman. He married Catherine MacDonald of Invernesshire, Scotland. Dennis Murphy (1770-1836). Dennis arrived in Nova Scotia circa 1797 and took residence in Port Hood Circa 1802 and was later granted land in 1816. He was a farmer & one of the first land surveyors for the area. Dennis married Isabel Watts of Port Hood. There is an unconfirmed thread the after he became established, he brought over other brothers nicholas & Patrick from Wexford. I have no information on the existence brothers in Nova Scotia. Sorry to be so long winded. Any suggestions as to how to tackle this from here in Canada or where I might look next would be greatly appreciated. Natalie (Murphy) Jones suburbs of Ottawa, Canada

An Italian historian, Fabio Troncarelli, professor of history at Viterbo University, made headlines in Ireland and Britain last year with his claim that the legend of Zorro is based on the real-life story of an Irishman from Wexford called William Lamport/ Lambert, Hispanicised to Guillen Lombardo. The following is based on those newspaper accounts. According to Professor Troncarelli there are copious references in the archives of the Inquisition to Lamport who was born in Wexford town in 1615 and died at the stake in Mexico in 1659. William Lamport was the son of Richard Lamport, a fisherman and later ship's captain, and Alonsa Sutton. His paternal grandfather was Patrick Lamport. After William's mother died, his father entered the priesthood. William was well-educated, having studied reading, writing, grammar and rhetoric in Wexford. He went to London and in the university there studied mathematics and Greek. While still a young boy he ran away to sea, after allegedly writing a defamatory pamphlet against the English king.He eventually made his way to Spain where he fought in Spain's war against the French. His bravery and skill came to the notice of the chief minister in Philip IV of Spain's court, Olivares who sent William/Guillen to Mexico. In Mexico Lamport led a double life, officially moving in the highest circles but also assuming a false identity to befriend local tribes, learning their healing skills and dabbling in astrology. This eventually brought him to the attention of the Inquisition which accused him of conspiring against Spain to liberate the native peoples. He was imprisoned for ten years but managed to escape. He returned to Mexico City, and taunted the Inquisition by emerging from his hiding place at night to plaster the city walls with satirical posters. William was something of a womaniser and it was this which eventually led to his capture (in bed with the wife of the Viceroy of Mexico). He was again jailed for seven years and then burned at the stake, though, according to Professor Troncarelli, Lamport managed to strangle himself with the rope used to tie him before the flames got to him. Lamport did not metamorphose into Zorro until 1872 when Vincente Palacio Riva, a retired Mexican general, tried his hand at an historical romance in the style of "The Three Musketeers" entitled "The Memoirs of an Imposter". The hero of the book is called Guillen Lombardo who leads a double life as a nobleman named Diego de la Vega, but is secretly plotting to overthrow Spanish rule and the power of the Inquisition. In 1919 a New York journalist, Johnston McCulley, reworked the tale, giving his hero that famous mask. The following year the first film "The Mark of Zorro", starring Douglas Fairbanks, appeared. Professor Troncarelli's book, based on his research in archives in Madrid, Rome, Dublin and Mexico City, was published last year.

I hope this is allowed... Where can I get a list of professional researchers for hire, that are based in Wexford?

Hello all, I have recently subscribed to this list and would like to post my interests. George HAYES married Margaret LAWLOR (or LAWLER) - date unknown. Known children are: Ellen, born 1836 (emigrated to New Zealand, 1859) John, born circa 1837 (emigrated to NZ) Thomas, born circa 1844 (emigrated to NZ) Edward, unknown birth year (believed to have emigrated to America) Other children who may have remained in Ireland are:- George Daniel, or George and Daniel, Archie, Barbara, and Johanna. This family may have lived at Coolrainey, near Curracloe, WEX., or at least had some connection with this area. I would love to hear from anyone who thinks there may be a link. Brenda, in New Zealand

I am beginning to wonder if I was found under a cabbage leaf at the bottom of the garden. I am trying to trace my gggrand parents. Great Grandfather, John Gilbert married Catherine Hanna Buckley of Plattenstown, Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow. They farmed in the Askinch , Coolgreaney area and had seven daughters. John Gilbert died in Dublin in 1903 qnd Catherine Hanna Buckley died in Clontarf. It is understood that she was buried on Powerscourt Estate. My Grandmother, Frances Anne Gilbert married Robert John Byron who is believed to have been born in Arklow, Co Wexford. I would be grateful for any information. Bob Cooper

Hello Kathleen, I just don't know what to say, except that I am so gratefull for the effort which you put in, checking the LDS files on my behalf . Indeed, you may very well have broke a twenty-odd year old brick wall for me on two counts. It is going to take a while for me to assimilate the information you sent on. However, I am now almost positive that the Stephen ROURKE in your email is my GGrandfather; therefore Johanna ROCHE my GGrandmother. The same would apply to Philip FURLONG. I will confirm this with you as soon as I have this corraborated. Once again, I owe you a great debt of gratitude. Kind regards Philip
