The information that I have about our ancestors, James Meylor (many spellings) and his wife, Bridget Roach, says they were from Blackhall Glynn, County Wexford. I would appreciate any information about them or their children. Their son, Nicholas, is my great grandfather. The wife of Nicholas was Elizabeth Keogh, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Dodd) Keogh, also from County Wexford. They both immigrated to Canada and married in Quebec before immigrating to the U.S. Thank you.

You haven't listed any dates but after checking your previous posts it looks like James and Bridget's son Nicholas was married in Quebec in 1851 so I suspect it will be very difficult to trace the family in Ireland without knowing exactly where they lived in Co. Wexford (parish if not townland).

Tried Enniscorthy & New Ross roots, both 1901/1911, this is all I came up with;
New Ross 1911;
Church Lane; (20)
Myler Michael & Mary; William, Nicholas, Philip. (John Neill, Catherine Neill, Michael Breen) (Tailor)
A lot of Keogh,Roche families in both places, but no Dodd.

Thank you both for your responses. Nicholas Meylor was born in 1817 and Elizabeth Keogh was born in 1832. Nicholas had brothers Patrick and Morrigan, as well as a sister, Catherine who married Thomas Murphy. The information that I have is that Patrick stayed on the Blackhall farm and that Morrigan immigrated to the U.S., possibly to the west coast. Thank you again for any help.

HI There , Im from Wexford Town, but I noticed that Your Meyler & Keogh Families origionated from Blackhall, Killurin, Glynn Co. Wexford. Now this is about 8 miles ffrom Wexford Town. Also have you contacted the Rector of Killurin Church of Ireland, to see if your Keogh & Roach & Meyler Families are in their Church Records? Why I'm saying this is that Kehoe & Keogh are common in Wexford. The difference is that Kehoe is catholic and Keogh is protestant. Now Killurin church amalgamated with Wexford union and if you contact the Reverned Maria Jansson, Rector ,St Iberius Church of Ireland, The Rectory, Park ,wexford or visit www.ferns.anglican.org. There you wil lbe able to order parish certificates on line.

Summerhill,
Thank you so much for the information. The names I have were spelled Keogh but at least Elizabeth was Catholic. Maybe she converted or maybe her last name should be spelled Kehoe, but was married in a Catholic ceremony and was a Catholic in Wisconsin. I'm not sure exactly where Elizabeth came from, other than County Wexford, but have the Blackhall information for the Meylor family. Patrick Meylor ended up with the farm at Blackhall when the father died and sent payments to Nicholas Meylor in Wisconsin.
mary,
Thank you, also. This information gives pause because great grandfather Nicholas Meylor listed his parents as James Meylor and Bridget Roach on his marriage entry in 1851. Do you think that Nicholas Meyler and Bridget Roche could be the parents of James Meylor and the grandparents of my Nicholas? 1743 is to early not to have a generation between.

Hi Mary Derry, & Benton,
I see you found a marriage for Roche & Meyler in Wexfordin 1743 do y ou know what church it was Mary? Also if my memory is correct the penal laws were enactedabout that time and Catholics had to be married by a protestant clergyman. Also a lotof people were illeterate and the surnames were open to interpretation by the clergyman when he filled in theregister. So as i said down here Kehoe is catholic while keogh is protestant. It may well be when the rector or clergyman filled in the registers he probably used his own interpretation of the surname.
Regards,
summerhill.

Summerhill,
I believe you are probably correct. We have run into the same with another Irish surname in our family. If not in Ireland, here in our area of Wisconsin the surname Rielly is Catholic and Riley is Protestant, mostly. When the Riellys first immigrated, their name was spelled many, many different ways and it was spelled Reilly in Ireland. It makes sense that the same is true with other surname spellings.
