I am researching the Butler family from Oylegate. In particular Thomas Butler born 1879 son of Pierce butler. If anyone is familiar with this area I should be interested to hear from them

Hi, I don't know if you have lots of information and just want to link up about the area or you would like some pointers. If it's the latter- these might be a little use - otherwise sorry I can't help much. This site: www.leitrim-roscommon.com has some Wexford indexes- has got a Thomas aged 18 yrs with father Pierce and mother Kate. Not much more but woujld be worth a look. This site tells you a bit about the parish of Edermine in 1837which includes Oylgate - a bit of background info. http://www.from-ireland.net/lewis/wex/edermine.htm You have probably already just 'googled' for the area to read about it now. http://www.familysearch.org has 3 children to a Pierce and Catherine -2 may be yours -no Thomas though- you could look there - it gives a surname for Kate- Cullen- is that yours? There is another one as well. Lastly, this site www.irishgenealogy.ie has a reference to a couplf of Pierce Butlers but a different Catherine! That's family history for you! I wish you well and hope that this is a little help Heywood
Thanks for all that helpful information. Yes thats the Pierce Butler I am looking for but I am unable to locate in Family search. Could you please let me Know which section you found that information in.
Many Thanks

Hi Erin, glad it was of some use- it is difficult with Irish research. Go to www.familysearch.org Then click the 'search' tab; click IGI tab - and fill in as follows: Father Pierce Butler ;Mother Catherine (based on 1901 -wife Kate; region- British Isles; country Ireland; County Wexford. You should get 3 children. Sadly they are within 2 years- 2 are for your area, 1 just for Wexford. best of luck Heywood
The other was a Margaret but mother was Hayes and there is no district- only says Wexford. If though Ellen and John are yours then you have Catherine's name- Cullen if you didn't have it- more to look for now!
I am still searching for information on this family. Do you know where I could get access to the 1911 census details.Are they available to view anywhere outside Ireland??
