Hufsham or Hussum Abbeyside Dungarvan

[Paul Peter]

Hi reached a road block on my great great grandparents. Patrick Whelan and Anastasia Hufsham married in Abbeyside in 1846. Patrick was from a seafaring family as was Anastasia. They had 4 children, Katherine, Mary, Bridget and Patrick. They were grandparents of Captain Tom Donoghue of Kerlogue fame, my grandmothers older brother. I can't find any details of Patrick and Anastasia's family but I think Anastasia's father may have been Dutch and called Moses. Anyone else come across these names ? Paul

The church marriage record unfortunately does not show their parents' names but does show Patrick as PHELAN
