I have noticed your connections to Francis Wheeler of Ballywire. Have any of you traced back the ancestors of Francis Wheeler.
Currently it is my belief that  Francis Massey Wheeler who married Anna Doyle who was the son of Francis Wheeler who married Elizabeth Arthur who was the son of Francis Wheeler who married Elizabeth Massey
This is where it gets a bit sketchy
This Francis wheeler was posssibly the son of Oliver Wheeler and Martha Baker (When Oliver died Martha remarried Joseph Cuffe)
Oliver Wheeler would have been the son of Francis Wheeler who married Maria Tighe who was son of Oliver Wheeler who married Elizabeth Weldon who was son of Dr Jonah Wheeler Bishop of Ossory who died in 1640.
Martha Baker was either the daughter or grand daughter of Walter Baker of Ballywire which is where The Wheeler family possibly came to posses Ballywire.

Anybody know if this is correct.

What i am really trying to track down is whether there is a link into my Dublin based Wheeler family.
I am related to the Rev George Bomfforde Wheeler born in 1805 who was the 2nd editor of the Irish Times, 3 weeks after its foundation. He was originally called George Baker Wheeler but later changed his name. He also probably had a brother a William James Cuffe Wheeler. The Cuffe and Baker names would tend to indicate a link to this family. The Bomford's were also a prominent Tipperary family who married into the Massy family at one stage.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Out of interest there is also a book in our family written by a Sir George Wheler in about 1680 regarding his travels in Greece. This book was first signed in 1732 by a Jacob Wheeler, then subsequently by a George Wheeler, James Wheeler and then the Rev George Bomfforde Wheeler.
I have not been able to find any link to the Wheler family which has an extensive pedigree

Got your PM and will reply as soon as I am done posting this.

Just thought I should post in case any subsequent readers stumble on the post in search of Francis Wheeler.  Yes, I believe Francis is from Rev. Oliver Wheeler and Martha Baker.  I trade emails frequently with a cousin who is particularly adept at research through Gooble Books - we'll link her into an email conversation and see if we can help with your missing link to the family.

"Talk" Soon.

Everyone has a different angle on the Armstrongs on this thread. Here is mine - my family worked for them

I have a write up on Moyaliff House here which has some photos

This page is about my family, the Grants, in the area, and there are links and info on the history of the area in the early 1800, and pages on some of the other local landlords.
