Hi, yep i am brand new to rootschat so don't really know what do etc so we will keep talking till we can send private messages.

I only just found the website and was scanning through and saw your note about Gorey which caught my interest and then i read your note I remembered about the eustace connection in my family tree.

Ballyscarton is on the outskirts of Gorey, on the way to Ballymoney. My Sunderland family have been there since 1750. Ballymoney is a tiny and quiet village and is really nice. Don't quote me but i think Ballymoney would have fallen under the remit of the courtown estate; so you might find some records there.

A blacksmith would have been a key person in the locality as he would have been doing all the work for the local farmers etc. The  local historian for courtown might have heard of eustace/blacksmith or know of them.

Well i am from the sunderland family so if you are interested in Margaret Sunderland ancestry i have that stuff. I have a picture of her brother Thomas my great-great grand father. I don't have any info on what happened to the sunderland-eustace family so that is great to find you and you might have some bits for me - as i did'nt have anything bar the marriage record. The only other hope is to search the 1901 census.

THe names John and William tend to follow patterns etc naming the son after the father etc or else naming the first born son after the paternal grandfather etc. Just go with what you have! for the moment.

I have looked up a book "Tales of the Anvil" - The Forges and Blacksmiths of Wexford- by Eamon Doyle. Have a look and see if it is on amazon?
Next time I am home i will look and see if it is still available if you can't get it. And this is what i found:

GOREY - Griffiths Valuation - 1853 - John Eustace - Ballymoney Upper
(most likely your John Eustace father of William who got married in 1878)

Hope this helps. Keep in touch!
best regards

Just returned to this page to revisit some of the previous research and there seems to be a lot missing - anyone know how to retrieve it?

Ms. Smokestoomuch

What names are you researching in this area? I have done quite a lot in this area especially with C/Kavanaghs.

Regards
John G.
I have recently found a Kavanagh connection from the area in my family tree.  Margaret Kavanagh was baptised in Killanerin 1 June 1779.  A Margaret Kavanagh married John Mitten on 5 November 1797 in Killanerin and I am wondering could this be the same Margaret.  Has this family appeared in your research by any chance.  Thanks for any insight you may have.

I doubt it! Perhaps you could repost/correct the dates?
