Hello Ann Thank you for your reply re the Clarke Family. I agree that Your Anastasia Doyle (b 1840) and my James Clarke will probably be cousins. Anastasia is not a common name so there is a fair chance that it is a family name. James' Death Certificate shows him born at Barina or maybe Basina or variation of this in County Wexford. Do you have any knowledge of this place? Pat Chalkley Newcastle NSW Aust

I have recently subscribed to the mailing list and would like to give my interests hoping that there will be someone who may be able to shed some light on my research to date. My GrGrandfather emigrated to Australia in 1850s. His name was Andrew Corish and he was born in 1827 at Wexford. His Father was John Corish born 1781 of Balleyowen. His Mother was Margaret Stafford. John's father was Richard born 1748 m Alice Hayes Richard's father was John of Lough m Ita Reville. I know that there are still Corish family in Wexford and I would hope to contact some family members. Thank you for the opportunity to list my interests and view your site. Sincerely, Helen Harris

Hello everyone! In rereading the family history today, I had a footnote pop out that I thought I would inquire about. My ggg grandmother, Elizabeth Crow MYLER , who was still living during the childhood of my great uncle, John Augden Myler (1826-1907), told him that our ancestor, Thomas Myler (I) of Old Ross, County Wexford, Ireland (1735-1782), was a direct descendant of ROBERT MAILOR of Duncormack, who married "Rose of Ross" and died in 1356. Robert was the son of Ralph Mailor, the first Commissioner over the Abbey of Dunbrody, in 1347. Can anyone tell me more about these early Mailors? It certainly seems as if the name went through a transition over several centuries from Mailor, to Meilor, to Meyler, and - finally - to Myler. Nancy M(yler) Goodwin Wilmington, DE USA

Hello Group I am descnded from James Clarke who was born Barima(??) County Wexford in 1838. His father was William Clarke farmer and his mother was Anastasia Doyle. James migrated to Australia in 1860. Any information on family or relatives would be very much appreciated. Pat Chalkley NSW Australia

A brief introduction: We are researching the family of Richard Gahan born March 26th, 1810 in New Ross town, county Wexford. His parents were Peter Gahan and Catherine Murphy. He was married on January 16th, 1842 to a Mary Fardy. He had 7 siblings. We have the birth dates of each as well as their sponsors. We are interested in finding more information on Peter Gahan, birth date, death date, marriage, etc. This man is my ggg-grandfather. We are assuming that Peter was born around 1770-1780 based upon the birth year of his first child Mary, born January 25th,1806. Any information known would be appreciated. Will gladly e-mail the birth dates of siblings to those interested.

Good day Wexford listers. I am Sharon Hiner from Big Sky Montana USA. I have recently spent aprox 8 months on Co Cork Mailing List accumulating information on my family AHERN, of which there is a "Gazillion" AHERNS, almost felt like I was drowning in AHERNS at times. That was my Great Grandmother's family, I am now looking for my Great Grandfather's family in Wexford. FLAHERTY, Edward (Ned)Patrick , b. 16, May, 1844 Wexford (don't know where in Wexford) Father: Morgan FLAHERTY, Mother: Mary ? FLAHERTY. 2 sisters: Frances and Nora, plus brothers ??? The family were traditionally Seaman. My Great Grandfather Ned Flaherty went to sea as a young man age ?, settled in San Francisco, CA, in 1860's 1870's, married my Gt Grandmother Mary Elizabeth AHERN in San Francisco in 1880. He sailed out of San Francisco, and Portland Oregon for awhile, settled North of San Francisco in Eureka, CA area manned a Life Saving Station for many years before going back to sea. A census lists him as CAPTAIN Flaherty. I have a family story that tells of a place in Wexford named FLAHERTY'S HILL. Has anyone heard of it, could it be on any of the ordinance survey maps of 1800's? Thinking that my FLAHERTY's were seaman traditionally, I would think they resided on or near the coast in Co Wexford? Don't know that though. I have a neat family story that might help in identifying area. Ned's mother, Mary FLAHERTY nursed the English Landowner's child along with one of her children when the Landowner's wife died in childbirth. Later the Englishman took his child and returned to England, upon his death the Manor house and Estate was left to the FLAHERTYS, Morgan and Mary, they lived there until their death, when it was traditionally willed to the eldest son, my Great Grandfather. When he was notified, he declined to return to Ireland to claim the estate so I imagine it went to the next youngest son as was traditional. That is all the information I have as to possible location. I sure hope someone out there might have a clue for me. If someone could point me in the direction of where I might obtain records, wills, births, marriage, of course I would first need to know the location in Co Wexford, I'm sure. Thanks for any and all help. Cheers from Sharon in Montana ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Hello everyone! I am a new subscriber to the list who is looking for ancestors in St. Mary's parish of County Wexford. The earliest ancestor that we have found was THOMAS MYLER (I) of Old Ross, who was a linen draper and land owner of some wealth in the era of 1760-1790. He was married to Margaret OWEN in 1758. The dates that I have for him are 1735-1782. The only child that I know of (although I am sure there were many more!) was THOMAS MYLER (II), born around 1761. Eventually Thomas II married the girl next door, ELIZABETH CROW, in 1786, and their son THOMAS (III) was born in 1788. Because the Mylers were Presbyterians and the Crows were Roman Catholic there was much tension between the families, and in order not to have Thomas III continually kidnapped by the Crows, Thomas II and Elizabeth emigrated to the U.S. with Thomas III in 1790. I am hoping to find Thomas I and Margaret Owen Myler and their family in records somewhere so that I might be able to learn their other children's names, and even who Thomas' parents were. Does anyone have any suggestions how this might be done, as I am writing to you from Wilmington, DE, USA? Is there anything on line that can be accessed? Or are there addresses that I might write to? I would appreciate any help that you can give to me. Thank you! Nancy M(yler) Goodwin Wilmington, DE USA Rootsweb sponsor Researching: Myler: Ireland>MD (USA)>PA (USA)

Excuse aberration from genealogy. I've been trying to teach myself Irish very sporadically for 2 years via tapes and a book. I briefly subbed to beginning Irish learner's list. The US is rampant with dialects and colloquial idiosyncrasies.......but we cover a large geographical area. I am convinced there are as many dialects and colloquial idiosyncrasies on your small island as on our huge chunk of the North American continent. It is virtually impossible to learn to speak the language. I'm just getting to where I can read enough of it to get the gist.

fir is just plural for fear....irish is theoretically one of the most difficult languages to learn because of our grammar........ we learn it from age four and go through 13 years of learning - and still aren't fluent! i know someone who went to an all Irish school - meaning she studied all subjects except English through Irish - and then continued on to study Irish in College, she works as a presenter for an Irish TV channel - still carries her dictionary and says that true Irish speakers look down on the likes of her - and also says her material can still be corrected before presentation on telly.
