A month or so ago, I posted a request for information about my wife's great Grandparents. " ....... John Alfred WEEKS and Olive Mabel ROLF were my wife's great grandparents. Until recently, we understood that her grandfather, Walter Charles WEEKS: - was born in Benenden, Cranbrook, Kent abt 1896 - joined "the Buffs", Royal East Kent Regiment as a boy - probably served in France in WW1 - served in India (Waziristan/North West Frontier) through the mid 20s - arrived Australia abt 1828. It seems we've discovered the grandson of a brother of Walter (or at least he's found us). Our relative says his grandfather always maintained that the family originated from Carrick-on-Suir, Wexford. I have no birth or marriage details for John and Olive, but suspect John was born about 1865-70. Could anyone with access to suitable records (say,1881 census) please check for mention of this couple in the Wexford area........" -------------- It now seems possible that John and Olive WEEKS may have actually had the surname O'NEAL. They may have contiued to live in Ireland while their sons Victor George and Walter Charles(my wife's Grandfather)may have been sent to live with relatives or friends in Kent where they entered the "Buffs" (East Kent Regiment) as 14 year olds under a false name WEEKS (perhaps the name of their foster parents or master.) Can anyone shed any light on this mystery? Who has an 1881 or 1891 Census for WEXFORD??????? What is the name of the parish at Carrick-on-Suir? Do records still exist? Thanks Barry Huguenin
