Hi Beth, Yes the Church does have a name, it's called St. James' RC Church and the last time I looked the priest's name was Fr. John French. Horeswood New Ross Co Wexford 051-388129 Priesthaggard (The Townland) consists of some 249 acres. You would have to look under the Parish of Suttons to find the records for this area. These would be on film no. 4261 at the NLI or Wexford Library from around 1824 to 1880. Personally Beth I would have gone direct to the priest with the information you have and got a Church issued Cert. and made a donation direct to the Church. If anybody does have this information and wants to do this route, go to the Diocesan website at: www.ferns.ie and track down your required Parish through the link for Parishes and Personnel. If anybody wants a list of what records are available contact me off list as I have it in a Word Document over 4 pages. slan Cyril Newsome Loch Garman The other possible option would be the St. James and Hook area whose records can be found on film no.4258. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 4:58 PM Subject: Re: [WEX] Yola, you are scaring me....... > > In a message dated 5/11/06 12:10:56 AM, [email protected] writes: > > > > The Records for New Ross are available Beth, > > on films numbered 4259-4260 at the NLI in Dublin and in Wexford Library > > starting from Nov. 1789-1880 for Baptisms, Marriages from 1859-1880 and > > burial records from May 1749--1814 and again from 1822-1859. > > > > > > Thanks Cyril! > I didn't know they had burial records.
