I am interested in Enniscorthy and in the Humphreys family who lived there in the latter half of the 19th century and in the early 20th. I have in my possession a letter written by Benjamin Humphreys to my grandfather who was his nephew by marriage, but with whom there was clearly a close relationship. The letter is dated 1898 and gives the address as Castle Hill House, Enniscorthy. Benjamin was an uncle by marriage to my grandfather, but there was clearly a close relationship between them. Benjamin had a business of some kind in Enniscorthy and also owned a farm.. Several sons, William (b.17 Mar 1871) and Benjamin, were involved with the business and the farm. Another son, Thomas, became a clergyman in the Church of Ireland. > > I would very much appreciate any information about this family. > Best wishes, > Roma McDougall. > > ______________________________ I hope these may be of some help.
