History of Wexford Town
« on: Friday 26 June 09 14:53 UTC (UK) »
Does anyone have or know where one could get a copy of the book, "History of Wexford Town" by Philip Herbert Hore? Quite old.

Hi there, after doing a search for the info you wanted, i found some info that said they didn't think the book was published.
If you do a search using Google, it should be the top link.

I did that search but it is just a brief history of Wexford. I don't know if this was published or not. The book I got the title from was the History of Patrick Sinnett by Walter Eye. In the book of Wexford Town there is a portrait of Col David Sinnett wearing the armor he wore at the storming of Wexford by Cromwell. This is the portrait I'm looking for. Or any information on a Patrick Sinnett b. 1752 in County Wexford.

The only other thing i can think of is to search Amazon, they have every book going.
I wouldn't mind a copy if you do find it as my mum comes from Wexford.
Good luck  Wink

That would be a find. My guess is that book is over 125 years old. I was hoping the Wexford Library would have a copy.

The History of Wexford Town and County was published in five volumes.
It was reprinted in the 1970s but I believe it is currently out of print. Some libraries will have copies for reference only.

After doing the google book search I was able to view the book online. However I'm not sure what vol. I was looking at since I didn't know there were additional vol. First The book I was looking for is titled "History of Wexford Town" not "Town and Country". It may be the same book but the one I'm looking for has a portrait of Col. David Sinnett in his armor he wore at the storming of Wexford. This Portrait is what I'm looking for. Or any other Sinnett paintings or photographs.

That is the volume on Wexford Town. The Portrait of Col Sinnott is in it on page 275. The armour is a seperate picture on 277. The original of the portrait was said to be in Ballymoyar House Co. Armagh in the late 1800s. He was not a "popular bunny" in Wexford.

I went back and did the search again and found it to be v. 4. I was unable to get to vol 5. Do you have a copy that you could scan the two photos and send to me?

You might want to check this out also:

There is another book, Sinnett Genealogy By Charles Nelson Sinnett which includes some information on Col. David Sinnett who defended Wexford Town.

It’s not available in any Irish library as far as I can see but is widely available in libraries in the USA,

After looking at parts of this book for many years I just bought it. It deals with Sinnett's in Maine and I'm looking for ones in VA/Wa. But in Ireland there may be a connection, who knows. Thanks.

I only have the 1970s reprint and the photos are very bad. There may be one in my collection from another source. I will check this out and get back to you.
Regarding the other correspondent above Colonel Sinnott only "defended" Wexford up to a point. He then admitted Cromwell.
