I would love to be in touch with Patricia. Can you send me an email? to rolfes@comcast.net or send mine to her. I do not know if we are connected but are in the area. There are not tons of Quinn's in Wexford in that area at that time. As I said I am waiting for a birth cert to ascertain the parents of my James, Thomas and Mary. I am looking for a possible connection to Johanna Quinn sister of Rose and Patrick.

Murphys, Redmonds, Laceys, McCrearys   I just finished the book Restless Spirit by Margaret Hawkins The sory of Rose Quinn (Rosegarden/Wellington Bridge). Actually my second read. Rose's husband was Patrick Murphy from Carrig-on Bannow. I wondered if that was a relative. My interest is in the Quinn's.
