Dear Cara, In actual fact I was going on the spelling of what was supplied and went for the nearest match! In reality it is not "Ballyruin" in the Parish of Templetown (I was going on the Ballyruin), the Townland you are in fact getting confused with, as being in the Parish of Templetown and also in the Parish of Tintern, is in fact Ballinruane! Given the name, I am still convinced that my original guess was nearer to the name offered by Margaret as Ballyruin. So now we have a choice for her. The Records for this Ballinruan Templetown would come under St. James and Templetown. Births from Dec.1792 - Dec.1880 with a few gaps here and there. Marriages from 1792-1880 (with more gaps) and Burials from Jan. 1816-1879. These are available on film at Wexford Library and also at the NLI on film no.4245. Ballinruane Tintern records, would come under Ballycullane/Tintern and the records from there (on film) are: Births from 1827-1880 (and in a very poor state). Marriages 1827-1880 Burials from 1828-1832 On film no.4259 in Wexford and the NLI. The only person buried in Tintern Abbey Cemetery with an actual location to Ballinruane is one John Keane who didn't peg out until Jan. 1948 aged 65. Templetown I have no records of there being a Redmond buried in there! I have never come across one yet. This Cemetery is located on one of my usual routes to the Hook Lighthouse so stopping there is quite the norm for me, it's always nice to visit the natives now and again. There are also no Redmond's buried in St. Dubhan's Cemetery at the Hook. There are however some 5-6 Redmond's buried in Ballycullane Old Cemetery but none prior to 1870. History? I can still do it! What more can I say? Cara you have been bitten!!!

Dear Cyril, what a fount of knowledge. I'm not sure how to proceed now. I have registered with the Wexford Heritage and Genealogy centre in the hope that someone local will look things up for me. Ellen,(or Helen) Redmond was my grandmother so I feel obliged to bring her out of obscurity! She was never one to pass on information except I do remember her saying she was born the 'year of the black snow' whatever that meant. Research has made more sense of that and it was 1886. Thanks, Margaret. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cyril Newsome" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 3:11 PM Subject: Re: [WEX] Redmond at Ballyruin > Dear Cara, > In actual fact I was going on the spelling of what was supplied and went > for > the nearest match! > > In reality it is not "Ballyruin" in the Parish of Templetown (I was going > on > the Ballyruin), the Townland you are in fact getting confused with, as > being > in the Parish of Templetown and also in the Parish of Tintern, is in fact > Ballinruane! > > Given the name, I am still convinced that my original guess was nearer to > the name offered by Margaret as Ballyruin. > So now we have a choice for her. > > The Records for this Ballinruan Templetown would come under St. James and > Templetown. > Births from Dec.1792 - Dec.1880 with a few gaps here and there.
