Could anyone suggest a possible way I could find out if my G-G-G-G-Grandfather was born in county Wexford, (which according to 'family folklore' he was). He was born between about 1790 and 1808 and was called William Henry BROWNE. He emigrated to Manchester before about 1827, probably when very young. Unfortunately, I don't have any details on his parents (yet), (though I do have a fair amount of info on his life after 1829 in and around Manchester). Too long a shot perhaps without further information, but any suggestions would be welcome. Cheers, Geoff Browne.
