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!

I'm ure it is him as the occupation, wife's name and child's name all it. His father's name was Edward D. Hogan and his mother, Catherine ahan. I don't find them in St. Louis at all, so I suspect that they emained in Wexford County. exford Surnames List http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/wexford.html ------------------------------- o unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WEXFORD-request@rootsweb.com ith the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of he message
