Furlongs Wexford

[aghadowey]

Father's name and occupation are supposed to be listed on the marriage certificate but that doesn't mean that they are still alive at the time of the child's wedding.

ahhhh.  I have seen a couple with 'father not living', so asumed if their occupation was show then they were still alive.  Back to the drawing board.  Thanks Anne

Sometimes the local newspaper gave details not on the certificate like '3rd son of late John Murphy, Waterford', etc. which can be an enormous help.

[rattler]

That would be very helpful but I think he had fallen out with the family for some reason so I don't think it would be in the papers.  If the priest had been more helpful on my last visit to Wexford, I might of found out a little more of his siblings and such.  Never give up.  Will have another try next visit, maybe later in the year.

[aghadowey]

How about marriages for his siblings- both certificates and newspaper announcements.

[rattler]

I think on my next trip over there I will be back to the library and bury myself in the records.  I have been going over alone but will take a back-up team next time.  It's all there somewhere.  Just need the odd bit of luck and bit by bit it all unravels.  Happy days.
