Hi This is my first post to the Wexford list. I am searching for information regarding my grandfather's family who lived in New Ross. TROY, PATRICK WILLIAM born 27 May 1866 at Michael Street, New Ross. Patrick left New Ross as a young man and went to sea, becoming a Captain. He worked in San Francisco and Alaska before moving to Australia where he married AINSWORTH, HILDA WINFRED in Melbourne on October 4 1904. They had 10 children and finally settled in GERALDTON, Western Australia where he passed away on the 30th of September 1936. His father was TROY, PATRICK JAMES Subconstable (eventually Sergeant in RIC) grand-nephew of Archbishop JOHN THOMAS TROY of Dublin and first cousin to Archbishop DANIEL MURRAY of Dublin. His mother was LEAHY, ELLEN (ELEANORE?) daughter of JOHN LEAHY, Merchant and Hotel Proprietor of KILKENNY CITY and grand niece to Bishop J DOYLE of KILDARE and LEIGHLIN, the great JKL. Ellen died in 1912 in New Ross. PATRICK WILLIAM TROY had 3 sisters whose names I do not know. One married and moved to Dublin, the other two were spinsters who lived in the family home in New Ross until their deaths. There was also a brother but I believe he died in infancy or childhood. Would love to hear from anyone researching this family or who lives in New Ross. I believe one of his sisters lived until the 1980's. Many Thanks John Patrick William Troy Carnarvon West Australia
