There'll probably be a better response to your post if you could fill in some dates (even approximate dates would help). Also, let us know what information you have/sources you've already checked so we don't post details which duplicate what you already have found.

Hi
Sorry I wasn't thinking straight when I first put the post up yesterday, I will put more details up on this post to hopefuly help in finding some more information:
Martin Lacey , I don't know about I am sorry.....he could well be related to my Lacey's as I don't know all that much about them but maybe some of the following information will ring a bell to him.
I have:
Peter Lacey and Mary Forde (Dates of birth are not known for these two) but I do have the following:
Peter Lacey was born in Johnstown, Arklow, Ireland. in 1869 his occupation was a Labourer this was found on his son (Matthew Lacey's) wedding entry.
Witnesses to the wedding of Peter Lacey and Mary Forde were: Thomas Proute and Mary Canavan.
Peter and Mary married 5 May 1834 in S S Mary & Peter's R C Church, Arklow, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.
They had the following children:
Thoma Lacey Born 17 Jan 1837 in Johnstown, Arklow, Wicklow Ireland. Sponsors to the christening were: Patrick Kennedy and Elizabeth Forde
Matthew Lacey b. 16 Nov 1839 in Johnstown, Arklow, Wicklow, Ireland. Witnesses to the Christening were: Daniel Kavanagh and Teresa Forde
Peter Lacey born 27 May 1842 in Johnstown, Arklow, Wicklow, Ireland. Sponsors to the christening were: Matthew and Catherine Forde
Mary Anne Lacey born 30 Apr 1845 in Johnstown, Arklow, Wicklow, Ireland. Sponsors to the christening were: Timothy Hand and Mary Keough.
John Lacey born 1846 in Arklow, Wicklow , Ireland.
Margaret Lacey b. 12 July 1848 in Johnstown, Arklow, Wicklow, Ireland. Sponsors to the Christening were: Matthew Forde and Margaret McDaniel.
Bridget Lacey b.22 June 1851 in Arklow, Wicklow , Ireland. Sponsors to the Christening were: John MacDonnell and Mary Lawless.
Alec or Alexander Lacey born 7 June 1856 in Arklow, Wicklow, Ireland. Sponsors to the Christening were: Patrick Cavanagh and Mary Lacey.
I know there are a few Lacey and Forde Names mentioned here as Sponsors to the Christnenings but I have not been able to find out how they are related, I am assuming most of the Forde names would be brothers or sisters to Mary Forde but cannot confirm any more than what is here.
I also know that Peter Lacey born 1842 Moved to Ennerdale in England at some point and went on to have a family there with his wife Julia McDonell/McDonald.
I also know that Bridget Lacey came over to Wales at some point and she married my G/Grandfather Owen Prydderch but I have not been able to find the Marriage listed here in Wales.
Also with Bridget in the 1881 Census by which time she was Bridget Elizabeth Prydderch......her brother Alec Lacey was residing with them in Leeswood, Mold, Flintshire. but I cannot find him after the 1881 census.
Any help in this would be greatfully recieved.

John Lacey married Mary Wall, I'm guessing early 1950's there were no children in the marriage and both are deceased. I believe marriage was in Dublin, historically Mary Wall's family are all from Dunlavin.
her parents were Edward Wall and Elizabeth 'Furlong' Wall.

Hi sgtrel
At the moment none of those really ring any bells. My Lacey's were Peter and Mary all in Arklow, Wicklow Irealand.
They had a number of children Bridget being one of them (She is my Great Grandmother) but I am afraid I can't say I have come across any called William.
Where were your Lacey's born?
Thank you

The WALL family migrated from Dunlavin, Wicklow to work for a while in Dublin and then emigrated to the Capital of Ireland to set up home 'OTB' (over the bridge) which was an Irish enclave close to the docks were, most all of the Irishmen found work.
As kids we ran the horse betting slips from family tables to the back street bookies and, in our case the instructions were pretty clear and that was to deliver the bets and cash to Lacey's. I forget the street name but it was the next one down (south) from Lemon Street which is off Stanley Road, if I recall correctly it was a stones throw from Saint Alophonsus Church.
Anyhow there was a large Lacey family living in this home and as they were close friends of the WALL family chances are they left Co. Wicklow around same time. The Lacey I delivered the betting slips to all those years since was probably born around 1900.

Hi Paul,
Just found your post now as I didn't get the email to tell me someone had replied to one of my posts.
This sounds like one of mine, Mathew Lacey could well have been my Grandmothers brother. He married a Mary and Canavan was a name I came across often in my research of my own Lacey connections. Arklow and Avoca Co Wicklow also.
I would have to have a good look through my documents as its a long time since I did anything on the family tree, but I am sure this is a connection.

We have a Margaret Lacy (Lacey) married to one Patrick Hughs, both from Wicklow...married about 1836? Had daughter Susan baptized Roman Catholic..Oct 14, 1837 son Thomas, baptized 01 Jan, 1840...son Patrick, baptized15 April 1842...daughter Elizabeth, baptized 10 April, 1844. A Stephen Lacey was one of the children's sponsor...and they had a son they named Stephen, after they immigrated to Canada. Does this fit any of your family?

My great great grandmother was Bridget Lacey, born Wicklow 1837, daughter of Patrick Lacey and Esther Byrne. I have no other details of her birth.
She emigrated to South Australia in c1852 aged 15 and worked as a domestic servant. She married William Byrne in Adelaide in 1856.
A witness to the marriage was Mary Anne Lacey, presumed sister of Bridget.
No other Lacey relatives, including parents, have been traced in Australia.
Bridget died in Western Australia in 1910.
-
Can anybody search further Wicklow records for possible parents of Patrick Lacey b 1811 Wicklow, or Esther Byrne b 1806.
I have not been able to find marriage details for them but their first child together was born in Wicklow 1834.
They migrated to Australia around 1852-4.
Thankyou

My ggrandmother was Jane Lacy or Lacey, baptised on 7 October 1840 in Baltinanima, Glendalough, parents Philam (aka Felix or Phelim) Lacy & Bridget Brennan.
Jane had 2 sisters and a brother (traced so far): Winifred (1830, Glendalough), Bridget (1836, Glendalough) and James (1842, in Kilquade). The remnants of the family house are next to Altidore.
She married Thomas Downes 15 July 1863 in Kilquade, Wicklow, and died on 23 September 1880. They had 5 children.

In your original post you mentioned that the occupation of your relative was a labourer (mentioned on his son Matthews marriage certificate). Who did Matthew marry ? He may be my grandfather

I am also a gg granddaughter of Bridget Lacey who married Willliam Byrne in Adelaide in 1856. Tracing the Lacey roots has been frustrating. I have just been to Wicklow, where I know William, son of PAtrick and Catherine lived (at least for a time) just outside Aughrim, on townland called Ballymorris. I have bap records for 3 of William's siblings for the parish of Rathdrum.
There are some Leesey (Lacey) people buried in St Bridget's Cemetery at Macreddin outside Aughrim and there are some recorded at Avoca, but no first names I recognise.
There is a Patrick Lacey listed in the 1911 census at Ballymoris lower, which if nothing else might suggest a Lacey presence going back in this area along with the Byrnes. It would explain Lacey's and Byrnes knowing each other when they got to Adelaide. Just a thought.

Hi
Patrick Lacey/Leesy and Esther Byrne are my ggg grandparetnts. I have just today found a baptism record for their 3rd child Mary Anne, that pinpoints them as living in Lara, near Glendalough in 1842. The original record can be sighted on the National Library of Ireland site.
I too am seeking info on the parents of Patrick and Esther but am at a brick wall. I was hoping to find a marriage record for them that might list their parents but so far no luck!
-
I am descended from Bridget's sister Winifred Lacey, Bridget , parents Patrick and Esther and four siblings arrived in Adelaide 4 Jan 1854 aboard the David Malcolm.
Except for Bridget the entire family came to Victoria and spent the rest of their lives here.
A fellow researcher recently found the baptism for two of Bridget's siblings, they were baptised in Glendalough, Wicklow.
I have quite a bit of information concerning this family if you are interested.
Regards,
Treacy
-
Thanks Treacy, any information will be welcome. As I said in my earlier reply/post I have the baptisms for Bridget's younger siblings, Mary Anne and Felix in Glendalough. In fact I was in Glendalough just a few weeks ago but did not have this information then, pity!
I am keen to find baptisms for the other children, Winifred, Bridget and Hugh.
Also want to find the marriage record for Patrick and Esther (Byrne) Lacey in Wicklow, although I am now suspecting they may have lived elsewhere before Glendalough- perhaps the older children were born/baptised elsewhere.There are some Lacey/Leesy people near Aughrim (Rathdrum parish).
I have the BYRNE connection on both sides and am keen to also find out if Esther Byrne is related to my other Byrne side.
While Bridget married William Byrne here in Adelaide they went across to WA where they are buried.
Keep in touch. Kay

Looks like your family made it to the big time for as a 7 year old in Liverpool i was the family runner in delivering betting slips from The Dairy in Walton road to Lacey the bookie on Lemon Street off Stanley Road. No. 80 Lemon Street was for many years home to many of the Wall family who emigrated from Dunlavin and started off @ Liverpool's 26 Athol Street before moving to Lemon Street. I can't recall the Laceys house number but it was only a few doors down from ours and that would make it on the North side of Heriot Street - Lacey's and Walls were I believe neighbors in Athol Street before this.

I have a number of Lacy/Lacey/Leesy/Leecey records for Glendalough, Killaveney, Lara, Hacketstown etc.
Easier to email if you're interested in having anything (*)
I also have other info collected over the years in the hope that I might match up some bodies!

Woody
Woody, I must have seen this post before, but its significance has only just hit me - Inch...
When my g-grandmother (Jane née Lacy) died in 1880 leaving 6 young children, at least one of them was sent to "an aunt in Inch, whose husband was the station master". That's all the info we have, related by the child concerned (b.1878, d.1957).
We've searched endlessly to find this "aunt", so far without success. Might she be one of yours?
Best, Mad

As to mention of Arklow - there's still Wall family Arklow.

I've traced my Dublin Lacys to a marriage between William Lac(e)y and Esther Hall in Arklow in 1832. Known children: Charles (born Arklow), then Maria, Felix, Esther and Jane, some of whom were born in Dublin - Ballsbridge area (1840s-1860). There's almost certainly a John in this generation (DNA match) but we haven't proven the link yet. Esther Lacy née Hall is buried in Glasnevin with Lacys called Charles and Marianne Lacy of Mount Merrion, William Lacy of Sandwith St and a probably unrelated Joseph Byrne. After Maria married, she has a Teresa Lacy living with her born Wicklow (though workhouse records for the same person sometimes say Wexford) who is a "relative".
Does this family link to any Wicklow ones?
