HEALY/RYAN and Connor/MURPHY families in Wexford
« on: Thursday 01 June 06 04:05 UTC (UK) »
I am new to Rootschat and this is my very first question.

I am looking for information about my ggg grandparents, my gg grandparents and any of their family from Wexford, Ireland.

My gg grandfather was Thomas Joseph HEALY, born 1863 in New Ross, Wexford. His parents were Darby HEALY and Anastasia RYAN. Darby HEALY was a farmer but I know nothing else about the family.

My gg grandmother was Mary Jane CONNOR, born in 1864 in Wexford, Wexford. Her parents were Denis (or Dennis) CONNOR and Mary MURPHY. Denis was also a farmer.

Thomas Joseph HEALY and Mary Jane CONNOR were married in Brisbane, Australia in 1886. Mary Jane's death certificate tells me that she came to Brisbane in 1884 aged 20. I do not know when Thomas Joseph came to Australia.

I have only been researching my family history for a few months, but am aware of the difficulties with the Irish connection.

I would be most grateful for any information about this family. Many thanks.

Thank you very much Audrey. I appreciate your help.
I have looked at that site before. I looked again after your suggestion and found nothing about HEALY/RYAN but found this information about a Dennis CONNOR and Mary MURPHY.

Dennis CONNOR
Birth 1771
Knockanure
Wexford Ireland
Death 1832

Marriage: about 1800, Wexford, Ireland

Spouse: Mary MURPHY
Birth 1777
Wexford
Death 1869

Children: none

Unfortunately these are not the ones I am searching for as Mary Jane CONNOR was not born until 1864.
Thanks again.

Thanks once again Audrey.

From the site you recommended, I have found one possibility of a Thomas HEALY birth. This I will try to explore further.

I have found no mention of Darby HEALY.

I have found many Denis CONNOR births, many Mary MURPHY births and marriages (but none with a Denis CONNOR), and
several Anastasia RYAN marriages, but none with a Darby HEALY, and one Anastasia birth within possible date range.

When many results appear with these common names it is difficult to know which, if any, are the right ones.

I thought the HEALY/RYAN and CONNOR/MURPHY marriages might be a good starting point for tracing these families, if any records exist.

Thanks again.

Hiengirusaus,
this site: www.leitrim-roscommon.com has some 1901 census for Wexford - it is only an index but there is:
Anastatia Healy aged 50 yrs- widow with children John 24 yrs, Patrick 17 yrs and Teresa 13 yrs. The family are in New Ross town. Do these names ring any bells?
Not much success with the Connor link though.
I have viewed Irish censuses and parish records by ordering them through Latter Day Saints Libraries - if there are any near you.
best wishes

Thanks heywood.
As my Thomas Joseph Healy was born in 1863, I don't think this the right mother and siblings. I will check out the LDS option though. I thought you had to know the townland before you could get anywhere with Irish records, and I know nothing more than what I've posted here.
Thank you for trying. Much appreciated.

Sorry - I slipped up there! I had thought the siblings could well be the younger ones of a family in which yours were the elder but never thought about Anastatia's age. My husband has Anastatia's in his New Ross ancestors- it is a really popular first name in Wexford heritage.
I do wish you the best of luck. BMD records didn't start until 1865 or Catholics so you are stuck with that too.
Wexford does have a research facility but it is expensive and should be a last resort.

Thanks anyway heywood. Yes, I was so excited when I discovered these "unusual" first names, only to discover that they were very common.
I think I'll need that luck to find out anything about this lot.
There must be thousands of their descendants out there somewhere!
