Brennan, Howlin, Moore...
« on: Saturday 28 February 09 01:23 UTC (UK) »

My grand father Michael Brennan was born in Parnell street in wexford.. His father was Nicholas Brennan, I do not know where he was born.. or his mother and fathers name..  but i know quite a bit about him.. He was a coast guard in Arklow and died in 1908.. but i know little about where he was born etc.. Nicholas Brennans wife was Catherine Moore.. Her mother and fathers names where Catherine Howlin and James Moore.. I have Catherine Moore baptism cert.. she was baptised in 1855 but does not say where just says wexford on the cert.. does not mention birth date or place... so i gather they all came from wexford... can anyone help me at all i have come up against a brick wall...

does the Wexford baptism cert you mentioned include the priest's name ?

if so I might be able to find out where he was based - many of the Commercial directories include local priests.

The Commercial directories usually list gentry, clergy, officials and business & trades people - like a modern yellow pages. Some of the later ones include farmers and general households.

I have Slaters Directories for 1846 and 1870 - a few years off the 1855 baptism, but the priest could still be included. If you post the name I'll have a look...

no matches yet...

I wonder could the name be Wickham ?

I've seen a few of that name in trades around the county e.g. Taghmon, Wexford town.

these are the only Catholic priest names that I can see that look anything like 'Wicklamee' - neither are Matthew though ..

1870 - ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPELS:

Dunlavin. .(Wicklow)
Rev James Whittle, parish priest; Rev Terence O'Reilly,curate

Gorey...
Rev James Lacy, P.P.: Rev Robert Sinnot and Rev. James Woddick, curates

it might be worth checking out for clues to the witnesses - I've seen post relating to the Mythen surname in Wexford that could be a clue..
