A mile or so SW of Poulpeasty is the townland of Shanowle, in Horetown civil parish. From Shanowle, heading due south, we come to a Raheen townland, in Taghmon civil parish. The Shanowle-to-Raheen distance is only a bit over a mile by magpie, but nearly 3 miles by road. There is a similarly-named townland of Pollpeasty about a dozen mile NW of Poulpeasty, and a Raheen within 3 miles or so of it.......but no Shanowle nearby [gr]. === What I'd like to find is the parish where the O'Sullivans were from, the church they would have attended, but most of all, the graveyard where ancestors could be buried. === This will take a bit of time (which I don't have much of, these days.....), but I'll try to put some of this together within the next week. Fortunately, you're not leaving for Ireland soon. A quick glance at my maps, etc. shows RC churches in nearby Carrowreagh and Cullenstown, and graveyards in Kilgarvan and Wilkinstown. And, of course, both categories are prevalent in and around Taghmon town, which is less than 3 miles from Poulpeasty townland. I'll get back to you on this remaining info soon, but if you have any additional questions, drop me a line. Just a caution, though - I don't do any genealogy, so I'd only feel comfortable with geography, archaeology, some history......and related matters [gr].

Good morning all-- I am hoping to get to Wexford for a couple of days during my trip this coming Fall and would like to make the best use of my time there in researching. I am hopeful that the brilliant Wexford researchers in the group will be able to give me some advice on how/where to get what I need. The family I am researching is O'Sullivan, which should not be difficult as there are very few of them listed in Griffiths, Tithe Applotments, Census records, etc., for Wexford at all. At least that's what I thought. I have recently received a copy of a letter written in 1911 by Moses O'Sullivan, who lived near Melbourne, AU at the time, to my great grandmother, telling her of various family members and the 'home' in Wexford, as Raheen. Of course I was elated to find that information--I know where they come from! My trouble is, in trying to locate Raheen, I've found at least three (3) townlands/villages called Raheen in Wexford. How do I know which Raheen is correct? I suppose another clue could be another copy of a letter I received from a 3rd cousin who still lives in Swords, Dublin, stating that her memory of the family was that they came from Poulpeasty, Co. Wexford. I've not been able to find Poulpeasty on any maps and am wondering if that is near the correct Raheen. I have also tried to correlate the O'Sullivan/Sullivan listing with Murphy listings in the same areas, as my GGGgrandmother was Catherine Murphy (m. Nicholas O'Sullivan). I've not found anything that I have good enough knowledge of to be of any use. Within the aforementioned sources, I did find one 'possible' hit. The Griffiths Valuation lists Nicholas Sullivan as living in Shanowle, Horetown, Wexford. My GGGgrandfather's name was Nicholas. However, there is no Raheen nearby. The last of the O'Sullivan male children born in Ireland was Moses, in 1838. I can find no listing of his birth or baptism. He landed in Australia just months before his 1864 marriage to another Wexford Co. born person, Elizabeth Delany. What I'd like to find is the parish where the O'Sullivans were from, the church they would have attended, but most of all, the graveyard where ancestors could be buried. Where do I go next? What places should I visit in order to get the best information? Any help would be most appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read this rambling message.

Kevin There is of course "RootsChat" which is pretty active. This link may take you to the section on Wexford http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,81.0.html Joyce

Just checking - I take it our home board is http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/latest.cgi?ireland/wexford ? If so, the most recent message was early December 2010... it sounds as if we have really slid off the radar! Kevin

I too had noticed it was a bit quiet, so I decided to visit the site from first principles and see what was there. Quite a few messages I do not recall seeing in summary form, probably my own fault but I suggest that we should all go to the board itself from time to time in case it jogs a memory etc. Also, I wonder if there are now too many competing resources? I bet most of us have been at this for ten years or more, and probably do not stray too far into the unknown. Perhaps a new person, just starting out, will be led to other resources? Or simply overwhelmed by choice? How can we ensure that new people can find this board? I am no expert, but can I suggest that we start a Friends of Wexford Family History page on Facebook, with a link to the board? (If so, somebody would have to say or do something on that Facebook page every day, but that should be easy enough). Who knows... perhaps Twitter too? Does anybody have young relatives who can give advice - it seems to me that we need a "social-network profile". Best wishes to all - Kevin Byrne

Well in actual fact it would be the Bull who was doing all the work and he owned the bull. So this would have been a bull which if you were lucky enough to be able to look at some older newspapers, would have been adertised for his works, ( cant think of the official wording) so yes he owned a prized well bred bull and put it out to work. Very interesting some of these old jobs that are being found in the census.

Did she marry in Ireland and die there ? Because I have to say that Penelope is not a Byrne name, it just does not fit Ellen does without a doubt but Penelope in 1864 only shows with the Barratt and Broderic family of further south of Ireland So would it be possible that Penelope or Penella became a derivative of the way it was written down and you have now reached a very pretty name of Penella which I think is lovely, I do have an Ellen Byrne born c1864 who married in Ireland But you dont give us enough information to say if she may be your lass or not Cheers Cara I use BullGuard Spamfilter to keep my inbox clean.

Im trying to trace the birth record of a Penelope/Ellen Byrne born Oylgate Co Wexford 1864. Her fathers name was Michael Byrne Occupation labourer. She also used the first name Penella so i suppose the birth record could be under Penelope/Ellen or Penella. Any help much appreciated thanks Sharon Shazza456@blueyonder.co.uk

I have Miller name in my family files but to say they link to yours we would both have to fill in the gaps This one has some gaps filled in and it also gives a parish but it may well be he came from a surrounding parish as they did marry in the brides parishes back then Evans Miller married Ellen Feltus ( Father Frank) 30th March 1850 at Monamolin Co Wexford Ireland Also I have Samuel Wheelock married Frances Miller and had Isaac Wheelock and James Wheelock and a townland associated with this name is Ballyrane Co Wexford Ire. Another thought but it is only just that is Millan could be transcribed into Miller so worth checking that spelling as well. Ferns Marriage Licences covers these Miller persons Robert Miller -Hannah Cottain ( Cotton or Carton) 1793 Alice Miller-George Taylor -1761 Dancer Miller -Wm C Le Febure-1792 Frances Miller -Samuel Wheelock-1773 Frances Miller -George Walker-1777 Jane Miller-Robert Roe-1784 John Miller-Esther Butler-1787 John Miller-Margaret Johnson-1793 Lewis Miller-Mary Peppard-1798 Thos Miller-Lucy Shepley-1764 Wm Miller-Arabella Boyce-1800 I cannot say where they married except it was somewhere in Co Wexford as I have not traced all these marriages to a parish register ....
