Seeking parents birthdates and marriage date of William GILBERT, christened Inch By Gorey 12/20/1796. parents Joseph and Ann.

This is precisely the list I was talking about a few days ago when I mentioned I'd seen my ancestor's name on a list of people who intended to go to Canada: #478 Anthony Rudd with 8 members in his party. It was the first time I'd ever seen anything like this and I couldn't believe my eyes when he was there. There is also a Bradley. I once lived in Watertown, NY, which is just on the other side of the St. Lawrence River from Landsdowne/Gananoque where the Rudds settled. I visited several times, getting photos of all the tombstones, but I also met a Bradley. She was very elderly and gave me a box full of photos of my great grandparents and their parents and sibs. They lived on land owned by the Rudds and drove me around the farmlands showing me where Rudd homes and once stood. This was 25 years ago and they are long deceased. I wish I knew then what I know now; so many questions I would have asked.

Thanks to someone from the list who E mailed me that the Rootsweb list of web pages was being revised. Here is the new web page for "1817 Irish Immigration from Wexford and Carlow to Upper Canada". It includes a short history of why so many left for Canada in the 1815-20s time period. Lots of names listed with how many were in their party.

To the list: Re: The discussion of the web page regarding Wexford Immigration to Upper Canada. I had this URL bookmarked and now it does not work. Is this the same one the list has been discussing? http://www.rootsweb.com/~irish/ireland/wexemig.htm I copied the information from that page so if anyone wants it E mail me and I will send it to you. I agree with the reasons mentioned by others as to why so many came to Canada just after the Napoleonic Wars. Also, many of these first settlers to crown lands in Canada served in the British military, stationed in Upper Canada, during the War of 1812. They were encouraged to settle the land. Somewhere there is a list of names of memebers of the military stationed in Upper Canada on the web but I'm not sure where. I'll try and search my files. I think my ggreatgrandfather, John Grant (1837-1875), emigrated from Wexford ca. 1840 as an orphan and lived with some of those original settlers from Wexford. Lucy

Sorry that I didn't give the Irish Genealogical Society, International address when I mentioned it the other day. Their info is at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~irish/> Hadn't looked at it for a while and the site appeared to have some more info like the Irish emigrant names from Carlow and Wexford. Hope it helps.

Dear Irish Listers, If anyone has any information on my great grandfather, Richard Austin Walsh, I would love to know it. All we know about his birth is that it took place in Ireland in 1840. He came to the United States in 1862 and to St. Joseph Missouri in 1869. His marriage to Mary Margaret Loftus on October 27, 1874 took place at the Cathedral in St. Joseph. He died May 16, 1904, in St. Joe - the newspaper obituary lists only Ireland as his place of birth. Does anyone recognize this man as a relative? Can anyone fill in the FULL date of birth and/or the PLACE in Ireland where he was born? Thanks so much for your help, Elizabeth Walsh Garesché Torno St. Louis, MO

Irish Genealogy Society, International web site has been accessible anytime I have gone to it. Perhaps there were just too many trying to find out about County Wexford?? Can't resist a little humor, sorry. Anyway, I went back and checked the address (Oh, they might have a new address).It is:<http://www.rootsweb.com/~irish/> I have it as one of my favorite places so haven't paid too much attention to address until I had to give it out. Hope you can access and if not, let me know again and I will recheck.

I was not able to access the 1817 information from the Wexford page. It said URL not available. Any other ideas?

It's very frustrating to find look for someone and get no results. It's nice to hear from others who are also searching for long long relatives. Whenever I get a reply, I write down the names of the people and who they're looking for so that if I come across those names in my search I can send this info back to you. Thanks again for the reply

Hi... Does anyone know anything about the Weadicks/Waddicks in Wexford? I can trace them back to 1800 in Co. Wicklow, but I'm sure they came from Wexford originally. Any info would be appreciated. Peggy/NYC

Hello Owen The surname Walsh is among the most prominent name in Newfoundland. I have Walshs in my ancestry as well. Many studies have been done on emigration patterns to Newfoundland from Ireland and in one done for the period of 1790 - 1850, the statistics break down as follows; County Kilkenny - 25% County Wexford - 24% County Waterford - 20% County Tipperary - 16% My Ancestor Thomas Walsh emigrated from County Wexford cira 1816 about the same time as my "Connors" Ancestors who came from Enniscorthy, County Wexford. As you may know by now, the earliest records available for County Wexford are 1794. I also have a James Connors who married Catherine Walsh in County Wexford with the following children; Margaret Connors born December 1794 Timothy Connors born July 1796 Regards John Connors -----Original Message----- From: owen.stephens <owen.stephens@mciworld.com> To: WEXFORD-L@rootsweb.com <WEXFORD-L@rootsweb.com> Date: September 29, 1999 12:53 AM Subject: [WEXFORD] Greetings and ?s on Wexford Walshes >Greetings to All I am Owen Keith Patrick Walsh Stephens, and am looking for any and all information on the Walshes of County Wexford.

Could anyone suggest a possible way I could find out if my G-G-G-G-Grandfather was born in county Wexford, (which according to 'family folklore' he was). He was born between about 1790 and 1808 and was called William Henry BROWNE. He emigrated to Manchester before about 1827, probably when very young. Unfortunately, I don't have any details on his parents (yet), (though I do have a fair amount of info on his life after 1829 in and around Manchester). Too long a shot perhaps without further information, but any suggestions would be welcome. Cheers, Geoff Browne.

Hi Owen I don't have answers but I have the same question. My Grandfather was a WALSH, born in Ontario Canada, and I know his ancestors were Presbyterians from Ireland, but I don't know from where. Your name intrigues me as my son is Keith Edward Walsh Mitchell, and he gave his son (now 2), Walsh as a 3rd name. I'm also tracking TETLOCKs, who I know come from somewhere in Wexford, ECCLES from Donegal, and GRIFFINs from Killarney. (my grandfather WALSH (Presb) married a GRIFFIN (RC) in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan Canada in 1902. Hope someone has some info.

I am aware of their defense of the country against Cromwell and subsequent theft of all lands and titles and banishment and diaspora to Canada, USA and Australia. Thank you all, and - Cede Miel Falte! Owen (Eoghan)

Most of the Wexford Irish who emigrated to Canada did so because as a result of the Wexford Rebellion in 1798 and the War of 1812. After the war of 1812, England was concerned with protecting Canada from invasion from the United States and was particulary concerned with the area of land between the St. Lawrence and Ottawa where it was building the Rideau Canal. It didn't really trust the Loyalists who settled on the banks of the St. Lawrence as they had ties (i.e. family) in the States. The Irish protestants who had sustained serve losses during the Wexford rebellion were (as were the Scots) concidered loyal to the crown and were offered land. Much of this was done through the Perth and Richmond Military Settlements (even though the receipents were not necessarily part of the militiary). Most of my ancestors came to Canada during that time (Webster, Taylor, Moxley, Foley, Leach, Lewis, Johnstone, Daly, Reid, plus a lot of colateral lines Beth Millar ----- Original Message ----- From: Martha Guthrie <mothra@erinet.com> To: <WEXFORD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: September 28, 1999 10:28 AM Subject: [WEXFORD] Why emigrate from Wexford in 1816?

In giving the Irish Genealogy web site to another researcher, I discovered a new listing in the County Wexford section. It is titled something like: 5,500 names of settlers from Carlow and Wexford to Canada in the time frame being discussed. In looking at it, there is a brief history which jibes in with what everyone has said and then adds some resources for those who want to learn more.

I also answered Martha's message, but I inadvertently chose Reply instead of Reply All. My great nth grandfather Anthony Rudd left Clone, Co. Wexford in 1816, to go to Landsdowne/Gananaque, Ontario, Canada. He took his family with him. Sometime in the past few months I found a letter of intent to leave Ireland posted on one of these genealogy lists. I thought it was this one because, as I remember, it was all Wexford families. Although I knew Anthony Rudd left Wexford in 1816, I didn't know he was part of a *mass* exodus and I was surprised to find his name on the list. I saved that list somewhere on my hard drive, but don't have time to hunt for it right now. I do know he was a farmer in Clone, and he was a farmer in Canada. I also know the tiny settlement, right on the St. Lawrence Seaway and the gateway to the Thousand Islands, was filled with Irish and Scots immigrants. My great grandfather Rudd married a Scots descendent. They ultimately moved to Grand Rapids, MI, at the end of the 19th century and I ended up a US citizen. The letter of intent to leave didn't have any clues as to why they were leaving, as I recall. I have always thought he probably left because he was a younger son and there wasn't enough land for him if he remained since he was clearly a farmer and nothing else would do. The Scots family in to which my great grandfather married were lumbermen and farmers. I've visited the homesteads in Canada which is a shining light in my life. I met distant cousins. But, I believe I have more still in Wexford, if I can ever get there. Hoping to go this coming summer.
