Cyril, Thanks for the info - I should have know that there would be a problem with the dates and the availability of records! I still have hope that it might be possible to obtain information on their son, Jacob or any possible siblings in Wexford. The information I had obtained that indicated Jacob's parents as William and Mary, were from the LDS files, which I know are not the most reliable source, but the only one that gave me somewhere to start. Jacob was married around 1833 in Kilmuckridge, Wexford, Ireland(the family was protestant) - would there be records available for that time period? I greatly appreciate any input or suggestions.

These are available on Pos. film no. 4258 at the NLI in Dublin or Wexford Library under the RC Parish of Litter (providing they were Catholics). slan Cyril Newosme Loch Garman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Andrejko" To: Sent: Monday, May 01, 2006 11:01 PM Subject: [WEX] Re: Simmons Surname in Wexford > Hello, > I've been a subcriber for years now and only put in one inquiry years ago, so I am about to try again in the hopes that someone might be able to help with my search. > I was told my Simmons ancestors came from Wexford, Ireland and migrated to Ontario Canada, where I have found information, but have hit a brick wall with the Ireland end.
