Robert Rickerby - Carnew

[torbay kid]

hi all

looking for info on Robert Rickerby from Carnew, Co Wicklow. He moved to NZ with his 2nd wife Sarah on the Cardigan Castle in 1873.

Robert was married twice, both times in Ireland - his 1st wife was Ann Whealan with whom he had at least 6 kids and possibly 8 or 9 with 2nd wife Sarah in New Zealand.

I'm hoping someone may be able to help with info on Robert and Sarah (births & marriage & where they may have lived etc) plus details on Ann Whealan.

Would appreciate if anyone can unravel the Rickerby's this area

thanks in anticipation

Bryce

Hi there, to avoid folk spending time providing you with information that you already have, can you be more specific?

I've seen this query elsewhere, is this you?

Griffiths Valuation shows 2 Robert Rickerby's in Shillelagh 1853 both in Carnew town one at Carnew St and  one at Coolattin.
Address on marriage cert might point to right one.

hi all and thanks for your replies

to be more specific I'm looking firstly for the birth/baptism of Robert Rickerby. On his death cert shows he died 30 Aug 1902, Halswell, Canterbury, NZ aged 70, therefore born ca 1832 - states he was born Ireland, father (looks like) John, no mother given

1st marriage  to Ann Whelan, in registry office (Shillelagh) 1852 - no religion given
2nd marriage to Sarah Miller, Church of Hollyfort, Wexford 1871 - United church of England & Ireland
both marriage certs show Robert's father as John, residing in Carnew (no actual addresses recorded)

the birth/baptism of Robert is the most important to me and hopefully will allow me to identify his parents and lead to previous generations.

note that I have tried this request on other sites with no positive result

haven't found any films on LDS to cover births of this period (assume not catholic)

best regards
Bryce

The Baptismal/Birth Index on the RootsIreland website brings back an 1834 baptism "hit" for a Robert Richarby with father John, I suppose it is a long shot possibility.

To see the record content is pay to view, but for this era you won't get a lot of information.  I'll see if I can tie down more detail from searching the index...


Edited to add: Faffed about with the RootsIreland Index, the baptismal parish is Carnew RC (so maybe the wrong one if you think not Catholic) and the mother's forename is Ally.

The Tithe Applotment Books circa 1825 to 1835 brings up John Rickerby ,Ballydonigan,Clone,Wexford and John Rickerby, Carnalway,Carnew,Kildare.
