Have you ever run across the POOLE name in that area? My POOLES were part of the Wexford Palatines I believe many of them left on the ship "Mary Bell" from Dublin to Quebec city in 1817.

Hi Pam, I am researching a small Irish area outside Quebec City (Canada) and there were Kehoes there. There was a Patrick who was married to a Catherine Whelan who later married an Alice Tracey in 1835. They are just people I have run across through marriages so I don't have very much info but if you are interested, I will look into my source documents. I think they may have been from Queen's County.

I came across a reference to a man named "Paul Kehoe" who may have died crossing to America with the Powers colony in 1834.

Jan and Pam: I know close to nothing about my Kehoe ancestors. Just this: Anna Kehoe married Matthew Robinson - had a son James Robinson born 1847ish. Family tradition says that they belonged to the Church of Ireland. James Robinson married Mary Cadogan, a Catholic, 1872 in New Ross. They owned a bakery in that city until they left for America about 1888. Thats what I know so far. Not much, eh? Ned Schimminger

The ROURKES were from Raheenahoon, and the FURLONGS were from what appears to be Barmoney, Co. Wexford. Catherine was born about 1887, and Patrick, who was a widower was born about 1877. In 1921 Patrick died and left behind at least five children that I know of: John, Mary (Polly), Philip, Patrick and Robert. The children seemed to have picked up the "O", making them O'ROURKE. I have only discovered this week, that, according to Griffith's valuation, there was a Mary RORKE living in Raheenahoon sometime between 1848-1864. This may very well be Stephen Rourke's mother. If anybody can add any further information to this please email me. I would be delighted to here from you Philip O'Rourke

Would SKS on the List know where it might be possible to find "Walker's Hibernian Magazine " of July 1786 - yes, that's 1786 ? I am informed it contains a notice of the marriage of my ancestor Cornelius Grogan to Rebecca Frost. Many thanks for any leads. Mike W.

This post is not intented to drag up discussion anywhere on acts against Catholics. Read the definition of Protestant according to the Act. Many people don't know about this book of names......and whenever I mention it to someone they ask me what it is about.... so.......... The 'Act to prevent the further growth of popery' was passed in 1703 and it made it obligatory on converts from Catholicism to Protestantism to provide proof of conformity. According to the Act a Protestant was a member of the Church of Ireland and not any other non Catholic religion. If a Catholic 'converted/conformed' to Protestantism and provided this proof then being 'enrolled' as a Protestant all rights were restored to him. This took effect from the date of the enrolment andnot the date of conversion. The Act said that "The said Court of Chancery is hereby required to take care that distinct rolls be kept for the enrolment of such certificates which shall publicly hang up or lie in some public office of place belonging to the said Court to be appointed, where all persons may at all reasonable times resort to and peruse the same without fee or reard, and for the enrolment of each and every such certificate the sum of six pence and no more shall be paid. These rolls were known as the Convert Rolls. In order to convert the person read his renunciation of Catholicism in front of a clergyman and congregation at a public service. He then got a certificate saying he was a convert from the Bishop of the Diocese and enrolled it in the court of Chancery. The Bishops certificate was necessary until 1782 and from there on it was enough that the convert would receive the Sacrament from a Minister of the Church of Ireland, take the oath before him and file a certificate to that effect in the Court fo Chancery. The Convert Rolls were destroyed in the fire in the Four Courts (Irish Public Records Office) in 1922. But they had been calendared and recorded (as were so many other documents). The Calendar is in two volumes, Volume 1 covers the years 1703-1789 and has about 5,500 names and Vol. 2 covers 1789-1838 with 380 names and of these there were only 73 between 1800 & 1838. Names are entered in alphabetical order, date of enrolment and date of certification, for some the address is also lists. Most people enrolled in Dublin 1703-1731 : 700 people enrolled, mainly people who were well off. 1732-1741: 600 people 1742-1751: 549 1752-1761: 864 1762-1771: 1,347 1772-1789: 1,421 1789: 1838: 385 most of the converts were men, but there are about 1,500 women mentioned. About 600 of these are described as married with about 40 widows, the remainder being unspecified or spinsters, daughters of gentlemen. The list of convert rolls was published by the Irish Manuscripts Office in 1981 and could at that time be purchased from the Government Publications Office. I don't have an ISBN for this book, I don't own a copy of this book while I have copied pages of interest to me. Examples of entries: Kearney, Bridget. cert. 13 November 1791, enrolled 10 February 1792. Kehoe, Elizabeth, enrolled 17 november 1803 Kennedy, Patrick of Ardmagh, Co. Tipperary, cert 7 May 1792, enrolled 9 May 1792. Kevenagh, James, of Glassmullen, Co. Wicklow, cert 31 August 1799, enrolled 20 November 1799

Hi, It was suggested to me recently that I check the Wexford and/or Wicklow memorials for clues that may help with my research into the elusive Shudalls of Wexford (and Dublin maybe) circa 1800-1850 in Wexford and possibly Dublin circa 1730-1800? Could SKS please advise : how do I access these records from Australia? or can SKs do a look-up for me?? I'm probably looking for Shudalls buried close to Redmonds but not necessarily and maybe in Duncormac - but maybe not? thanking you Robert Ferny Creek Victoria

John Alfred WEEKS and Olive Mabel ROLF were my wife's great grandparents. Until recently, we understood that her grandfather, Walter Charles WEEKS, was: - born in Benenden, Cranbrook, Kent abt 1896 - joined "the Buffs", Royal East Kent Regiment as a boy - probably served in France in WW1 - served in India (Waziristan/North West Frontier) through the mid 20s - arrived Australia abt 1828. It seems we've discovered the grandson of a brother of Walter (or at least he's found us). Our relative says his grandfather always maintained that the family originated from Carrick-on-Suir, Wexford. I have no birth or marriage details for John and Olive, but suspect John was born about 1865-70. Could anyone with access to suitable records (say,1881 census) please check for mention of this couple in the Wexford area. Many thanks Barry & Gale (nee WEEKS) Huguenin Wantirna Victoria Australia I

Ned and Pam, I'm also looking for Kehoes in this area. I'm just getting started on this line and don't have much yet, just a couple of names. For now, I know that Catherine Kehoe was born February 1806. I don't have her father's first name, but her mother was a Carroll. Catherine married Peter Fenlon. Peter died in Ireland, and then Catherine and her children came to America (Georgia) after 1870. Her children were named Peter Jr., Annie, Mary, Catherine and Bridget. Others of her family may have already been in America because buried in the same Atlanta, GA cemetery near Catherine is a Jeremiah Kehoe born 1813--purely speculation, though, at this point. Do either of you have a Catherine Kehoe in your family tree? Thanks, Jan Melton Memphis, TN

Are there any lists of names of Wexford people who left for Canada in 1824 or shortly before? If they ended up in Quebec could they still have been a part of the Robinson settlers who arrived in 1823? My GGGGreatgrandfather married in Canada in 1824 and was from Wexford. I have yet to find the direct connection between Wexford and Quebec Province. Thanks for any help you might provide. AChapman

Do you find any info on Richard COONEY or Dorathea LEARY, parents of Patrick COONEY?? Patrick was born 1863 in Eniscorthy, came to CT and died in Naugatuck, CT 1943. He was my husband's grandfather. Hit "the wall" with Richard and Dorothea. Can you help? Thank you. Jane

So far I have discovered for sure that my Patrick Kehoe married Bridget Byrne in Co.CARLOW in 1820. I have visited the church and verified his marriage. No birth record found but family history says he was born there also. No records for the birth or for his father and mother as follows. Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM (ANDREW) ABT 17771 KEHOE was born Abt. 1777. He married ANNE RYAN, daughter of PATRICK RYAN and DOLLY BOW. She was born Abt. 1777. Child of WILLIAM KEHOE and ANNE RYAN is: 2. i. PATRICK2 KEHOE, b. March 26, 1797, Tomard Co. Carlow Parrish: Tullowcreen, Barony: Idrone, Ireland; d. September 11, 1873, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Charlotte Vermont. Generation No. 2 2. PATRICK2 KEHOE (WILLIAM (ANDREW) ABT 17771) was born March 26, 1797 in Tomard Co. Carlow Parrish: Tullowcreen, Barony: Idrone, Ireland, and died September 11, 1873 in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Charlotte Vermont. He married BRIDGET BYRNE November 22, 1820 in St. Lazerian's Church, Leighlinbridge, Co Carlow, Ireland, daughter of MICHAEL BYRNE and MARGARET KEALEY. She was born June 21, 1798 in Co. Carlow Ireland, and died May 16, 1880 in Charlotte Vermont. I wish I could find where my Patrick came to Co. Carlow and what county he and his parents came from. Byrne is a very common name in Co. Carlow and my thoughts were that Patrick went there to marry Bridget and maybe farm for her father or some such thing. If anyone has any thoughts on this I would really appreciate it.

Sorry, didn't answer the map question. I got mine in Ire but I have seen them advertised in different Irish goods and gifts catalogs. Try searching online under Irish gifts or at one of the commercial Irish genealogy pages. Hope this helps Shirley N Connick wrote: > > Hello. > > Two questions: > > 1.
