Thanks Cara for the info about sailing ports. My husband's ggg grandfather, Bartholomew Connors, sailed from County Wexford in 1816, do you think he also would have sailed out of New Ross? He was from the Kiltilly area, near Bunclody.

My g-g-grandfather, Bartholomew Dunphy, came from Kileashall, which is near Bunclody. In 1813, he was in Newfoundland, and then he was on Prince Edward Island in 1824. I went to Ireland a few years ago and stayed in Buncldoy. I was told by three different local historians there that people who lived in that area at that time generally shipped out of New Ross.

Earle, I don't suppose there was such a thing as a shipping list at that time. It would be a bonus wouldn't it, to see the name of the ship and the passenger list, with our ancestors on it. Did the historians you talked to give any indication what prompted them to emigrate. I am assuming it was the offer of free land.

I want to add my thanks too, and follow up on Fran's inquiry with regard to earlier ships sailing from Co Wexford . My Thomas Sinnott and Jane Kincade both from Co.Wexford arrived in New Brunswick Canada in 1821. Are there any listings for ships that sailed around that time and of course the passenger lists too ??????

What a great question, one that has puzzled me for many, many years. My ancestors also left Wexford in 1816 and it has always been the belief that they sailed from County Cork. (Presumably, they travelled overland from Wexford.) I was always left with the understanding that Passenger Ships did not depart from Wexford in the early 1800s, at least, this was the explanation for Cork departure. I suppose that does not eliminate the possibility that an ancestor may have left from Wexford on a fishing vessel owned by some merchant who were looking for skilled people such as Coopers in their new land.. Jack Connors May you never Forget What is worth remembering Or remember what is Best forgotten.

Jack, whereabouts did your Connors relatives emigrate from in County Wexford. Could there be a connection between my husband's family and yours? I have copies of three very old letters that leads me to believe Bartholomew Connors came from the Kiltilly area. He was granted a Land Grant in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 1819, lived, married and died there.

Hello Fran I've spoken with in in the past but I've been out of touch with my research for some time. My Connors emigrated from Enniscorthy. My Ancestor was baptized at St Aidens Cathedral. I've order the Cantwells CD and I am hoping that there may be some further clues in that. Keep in touch Jack May you never Forget What is worth remembering Or remember what is Best forgotten. ----- Original Message ----- From: "fran connors" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 7:32 PM Subject: Re: [WEX] SAILING OUT OF WEXFORD > Jack, whereabouts did your Connors relatives emigrate from in County > Wexford.
