I have a William Stafford b. 1860 who married Annastatia Hennessy in the Ballyculane area and then they disappeared. I gave up years ago and now suddenly found them in the 1901 census living with 3 sons in Widnes Lancashire England. They worked in a chemical manufactory plant of which there are many in the area. The route seemed to be Ireland to Liverpool then to Widnes. I know my many Cork people went to Merthyr Tydfil Wales but often with rellies or neighbors. I have seen old posters from Cork where they were recruited. Does anyone else have rellies that took this route? In 1911 I see many Furlongs and other Wexford names. Also many Irish folks there. Joan

According to the National Archives website 1901 Census material, with all data transcribed, will be launched before the end of June 2010. It will be launched all at once rather than in tranches as with 1911. Joan

Hi. I'm trying to establish a connection between Francis Harpur, merchant and landowner of significant property along Harpur's Lane and S. Main Street in Wexford in the early to mid 1800's and 1. The naming of Harpur's Lane and 2. The three time mayor of Wexford, Francis Harpur, in the early 1800's. and 3. Relationship to Moses Harpur, or his father Martin, who owned a grocery, pub, and iron store at 55-57 S. Main Street at Harpur's Lane. I have the 1911 census and 1857 Griffith's online data. If anyone has records of descendants of Francis Harpur, I would be thankful.

Does anyone have any information as to when exactly County Wexford records will become available online via the IFHF? These records were previously managed by the Wexford Genealogy Centre at the Yola Farmstead Folk Park, Tagoat, Rosslare. Previous indications suggested early 2010. Thanks, Paul Cullen

Judy, a possible clue... Are you familiar with Griffith's Valuation. It was a tax-related listing of landowners and tenants done for all of Ireland from between 1847 to about 1864. In Wexford the first listing or valuation was done in about 1853 (I think, I know other listers will correct that if it's wrong) (with periodic updates after that). If your Dennis's father, Edward Hogan, was a tenant with his own holding in 1853, he would probably be listed in Griffith's Valuation. However, if he did not have his own holding, but lived in a household where someone else was the tenant, his name will not appear. The Griffiths Valuation index at www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation shows two Edward Hogans. One Edward Hogan in Scarawalsh (Barony), Enniscorthy (Poor Law Union), St. Mary's Newtownbarry (Parish), Newtownbarry (Townland). Another Edward Hogan in Bantry (Barony), New Ross (Poor Law Union), Kilscanlan (Parish), Ballynabola (Townland). If you go to that website and enter Edward Hogan's name, it will pop up these guys, and then you can also click on other features to see who the neighbors were, the original Griffith's map from 1853 showing where Edward Hogan lived, plus a modern map to show you where that place appears today. Also check alternative spellings of Hogan (Hogin, Hogen, etc.), because spelling was not standardized. Hope this provides a starting place for finding the spot where they lived. Good luck!

Hi Pat,   The Irish name for Ferns (Diocese of) is "Fearna" a few options open to you could be any of the following with some reservations:   The Townlands of:   Ballyminaun Big/Little (Parish of Ballymore) Barmoney (Parish of Bree) Ballymore (Parish of Castlebridge) Ballymorris (Parish of Clonard) Ballynamona (Parish of Clongeen) Ballymurn Lower/Upper (Parish of Crossabeg) Ballymore (Parish of Ferns) Ballygoman (Parish of Glynn) Ballaman (Parish of Kilrush) Ballymoney (Parish of Riverchapel)   So if you consider your "Farna" could be the Diocese of Ferns, I would strongly consider Ballaman as does Peter as the most likely location, allowing for the dialect pronunciations and the local tendancy to clip name places where Y is clipped to A and vice versa     JCN Wexford --- On Thu, 11/2/10, PeteScherm@aol.com <PeteScherm@aol.com> wrote: From: PeteScherm@aol.com <PeteScherm@aol.com> Subject: Re: [WEXFORD] Records To: pattimeyers67@att.net, wexford@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, 11 February, 2010, 0:18 Patti asks: ===   Would anyone on the list know of a place which sounds like Ballaymon (pronounced with a brogue)?

After learning when Dennis Hogan was married (1858 in St. Louis), just yesterday, I looked again at the 1860 census in question. I'm sure it is him as the occupation, wife's name and child's name all fit. His father's name was Edward D. Hogan and his mother, Catherine Gahan. I don't find them in St. Louis at all, so I suspect that they remained in Wexford County.

I've found many strange & curious errors in our census returns, amazing misspellings, confused family relationships, uncertain ethnicity and so on.

Hi Judy. I'm a little behind in replying to your Hogan problem, but I came across a few things that might be of interest. You may already know all this, but I'll send it anyway. While the Hogan name is found in Griffiths in all four Provinces, the Delargy name is only found in Co. Antrim in Ulster...a long way from Co. Wexford. This would lead me to guess that perhaps they met and married here in the States. Hopefully, it's a marriage license that you're waiting for from St. Louis. There's also an entry in the 1860 US census for St. Louis that lists a Hogan family, but the husband is entered as 'Danl' (30), not Dennis. This could be an error on the part of the census taker, or it's not the right family. The wife is Mary (26) and the 11-month-old son is Edward. The parents are both born in Ireland... the baby in Missouri. The ages are about right. It's too bad that the early censuses give so little information. Good luck in your search. I hope you'll let us know if you turn up something.

Corrected by all means but to change one of them back to what it should have been it is not Balloughton that I have records for but Ballyoughter And if corrections gets this list intrigued and interesting again I will spell everything incorrectly from now on. It was the over correcting of emails that caused another lister to stop writing to this list. And that man would indeed have some of the better records that we needed access to for family research , and now he no longer writes to the list, or indeed offers to share any of the great things he has on Wexford. And as the road signs state in Ireland ( as they have placed the older names back) I spelt Clearystown as the road sign says. Also after a google I note that some of the major advertisers for Businesses in Wexford also used the spelling Clearystown, so perhaps some of those people need to learn the corrected spelling also But I wonder if they have a Post Office sign now for Duncormick- perhaps you may be taken for a drive and find that one and take a photo for me, and whilst doing that post that mail ?
