Have a look at this list. You may spot a familiar name.
Byrne New Link
Members of the Byrne family are buried at Taghmon.
Cousins
The Cousins families in Ireland have been in south Wexford from early Norman times.The name is said to derive from the Old-French ' Le cosin i.e relation or kinsman . The earliest reference is to Henry Cosin under the years 1282-1283 in "Hore's History of Old Ross"
Cullen Broken Link
Hilary Murphy, in her book, "Families of County Wexford", mentions the Cullen family as the "Anglo-Norman" Colyns who were prominent in Co Wexford until the arrival of Cromwell (1649).
Furlong
Patrick Furlong (born in 1813 died 1853), was a blacksmith near Enniscorthy. His youngest son, John, was born in 1853. His widow Margaret was left to care for their four young boys at a time of extreme hardship ... just after the Great Famine of 1846 and 1847.
Hinds / Gird
A Marriage Record Listing, found in the Ferns diocese of County Wexford (Ferns Marriage Licenses, Vol. 6, p. 375, Ferns, County Wexford, Ireland- Marriage Bonds Records are no longer extant; only the entries as listed.), shows that Henry GIRD & Mary HIND were married in 1770 in the Ferns Diocese.

Thank you Christopher - three hits in one list, I've never been so lucky! Rossiters being named frequently as godparents to Parles in Ballindinas, and a Parle marrying a Furlong.
