Hi CARA I forgot to mention other relevant details on the birth record of Patrick Stafford. DOB Tuesday 2nd October 1866 Kitestown. Mother Mary Stafford [ Nee Murphy] Father John Stafford [Occupation Saylor] Informant Darby Murphy qualification occupier. Birth record signed by Darby Murphy and the Registrar was [Spooky] John Stafford, District Crossabeg, Wexford.Co Wexford dated 10th October 1866 Registration No 7749979 .I thought I would mention this information on birth records as this may be of interest for list members who may want to obtain records from GRO at Roscommon Regards Bill [SHROPSHIRE] -----Original Message----- From: BILL STAFFORD [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 24 April 2006 12:42 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WEX] John Stafford Thanks Cara. You sent me that info many months ago. When I received his son's birth certificate it confirmed that he was a SAYLOR [as printed on birth record]. In the 1901 census it shows him as being a farmer. I can only presume that he retired from the Merchant Navy and bought a farm in Kitestown or perhaps managing the farm for someone.
