Hi Dermot, You are correct, the names on the list of Wexford Freeman are only the Freeman who applied to Liverpool Council for the rights and privileges of being a Freeman in Liverpool. This was done so that they could bring goods into Liverpool without paying some sort of tax/levy/duty. There seems to have been a change in the Law around about 1830, which affected Freeman. I don't know what it was! Here is a list of Waterford Freeman: FREEMEN OF COUNTY WATERFORD FOUND AT THE LIVERPOOL RECORDS OFFICE The following list of names is taken from records held at the Liverpool Records Office. They are in an unlisted box marked ACC 1354, Liverpool Corporation: Town Clerk's Department, Certificates of Freemen of Boroughs other than Liverpool, also papers relating to their rights in the 18th & 19th century. There are several folders in the box, which hold the certificates for London, Bristol, Waterford and Wexford. Some of the certificates are hand written with wax seals attached, others are pre-printed with the name and date added. There are letters signed by the rector and church wardens certifying that the said person was a house holder in a their parish, DATE = THE DATE PERSON BECAME A "FREEMAN" OF WATERFORD CITY, COUNTY WATERFORD, OR DATE FROM PAPERS RELATED TO THAT PERSON, ADDRESS = THE ADDRESS IN THE CITY OF WATERFORD, COUNTY WATERFORD, QUAKER = "BEING OF THE PROFESSION OF THE PEOPLE CALLED QUAKER", THIS IS MENTIONED ON SOME OF THE FREEMAN CERTIFICATE, MISC.

Celestine I can't find names of my greatgrandfather's parents even though I made a thorough search. Yola told me that they found three Martin Doyles' born in Wexford in 1841. I understand that it was an Irish practice to name first born after one's father. My Martin Doyle had two sons, the eldest named James and the other John. Can I ask Yola to give me the data on the one who has a father by the name of James? Also unable to locate a month or date of birth for him. Thanks, Germain Doyle http://community.webtv.net/elyod/CarolandGerrysHome

Hello: I am new to this list, and hope this is the correct protocol. My ancestry has been traced back to Joseph Carley 1772-1865, a native of Cornwall, Co. Wexford, and his wife Elizabeth Free 1779-1870, of County Wicklow. They were married in the parish of Killurin, Diocese of Ferns, County Wexford in 1802. I have also heard there is a 'Carleysbridge' in Wexford? How do I go about finding out more information about them? I realise this is a general question, but I am just starting out :-) Many thanks, and my apologies if I am on the wrong list. Robert J. Carley Ontario, Canada.

Celestine Any possibility you could look up New Ross parish register entry for Patrick F. Doyle? I am searching for parents of Patrick F. Doyle. I believe Patrick was born in New Ross Wexford, Ireland about 1815 -1820. He migrated to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. He married Mary Carr in 1839 in Charlottetown at St. Dunstans Basilica. You can email me directly and I will provide you my mailing address. I will be happy to send you money for postage and copies. Thanks, Debby Doyle Mesa, AZ doyled@agcs.com

Joseph RATH born about 1813 in Enniscorthy, son of Thomas RATH. Joseph RATH was not a Roman Catholic but a member of the Church of Ireland. Is Rath one of the less common Irish names? Any guidance will be much appreciated. Howden

Dear Celestine, The New Ross parish registry QUINN entry arrived this morning... a million thanks. God bless you. Bill Martin bmartin@gatecom.com

Hello listers! My Michael O'BRIEN has just been turned into Patrick O'BRIEN who married Catherine MURPHY in Enniscorthy. They had 6 children and before Catherine and the children immigrated to the Stoco/Marmora area of Ontario, CAN after 1840, Patrick died in a peat bog. In CAN, Catherine MURPHY O'BRIEN married her second husband, James IRWIN in 1851 in Belleville, ONT. Any O'BRIEN or MURPHY connections????? Thanks! Nancy

New subscriber. I am looking for information on James MURPHY and his father Francis MURPHY born somewhere in County Wexford. James was born around 1839 and immigrated to Portland, Maine by the mid 1860's. James' father was Francis and mother Mary (unknown). James had at least one brother named Francis who also came to the states. Would appreciate all available information (actual birth date, place in Co Wexford, emmigration date, parents full names,etc.)on James and Francis (his father) primarily and Francis and other siblings, if possible. If more information is available ,I would appreciate it. I am not sure if James' parents also came to the states. James was my great grandfather and married Bridget M. Grace in the states, I am sure. Bridget's parents P.S.grace and Ellen Curly came from some place in Ireland but she supposedly was born in Montreal, Canada. They had about 14 or 15 children. James and Bridget died in Hartford, CT, 1895 and 1908, respectively, as they lived in Hartford from aproximately 1872 until their death. Would really appreciate any help. Thank you . I can be contacted at jbmurphy@snet.net. jbmurphy

My Great Grandmother Bridget Rochford who married Martin Alfred DALY October 23,1883 at Montreal. Her parents were Stephen ROCHFORD and Margaret HIGGINS. They were married at Quebec City Aug 1, 1843. Bridget had two brothers Joseph and Michael ROCHFORD. Stephen's parents were Michael ROCHFORD and Mary LYNCH. I do not know what part of Ireland they were from. Does any of this look familiar? I am at the proverbial brick wall and need help. Beverly Buck buckfam@thegrid.net Yucca Valley, CA., USA
