I am looking for information on the Sinnott family in the county and city of Wexford. My GGrandfather came from there, immigrating to Baltimore Md in the US in 1854. This Sinnott family was active in the tanning and clothing business and operated a business in St John's lane
-
The Leitrim-Roscommon genealogy website has a lot of Sinnott in it's 1901 census section.

Thank you for the information. Sinnott is a fairly common name in southeastern Ireland. I should have been more specific in my request that the Sinnott family I am most interested in is that of Alexander Sinnott who had 4 children including my Great Grandfather Patrick Michael. I know that three of the four went to the US. One, Nicholas may have remained in Ireland. Alexander's father was named Patrick and maried Alice Hore. They had 18 children thus adding a lot to the Sinnott population in Wexford.
Do you have an interest in this family line or simply being helpful? Please let me know and thank you again. What I am looking for is someone knowledgable on this family in Ireland who could help me learn more.

My gg-grandfather John Sommers's mother was Catherine Sinnott and his wife was Margaret Sinnott. (See http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tms2&id=I474) His son James, my great-grandfather, ended up in Baltimore as well.
I have very little information on my Sinnotts other than that they were from the RC parish of Rathangan, in Duncormick. Where are yours from?

I have a great deal of general information on the Sinnott family in Ireland which I would be glad to share. My GGGranfather, Patrick M Sinnott was from St. John's Gate just outside of Wexford. His extended family were tradesmen in the leather and fabric industries. I was able to obtain some birth marriage death data from the Wexford church records and the civil records but have not been able to establish any contact with living family members in Ireland. Patrick immigrated to Baltimore and established a successful men's habidashery business. He had married a woman named Mary Bolger in Ireland but lost her to ships disease after arrival. He remarried a woman named Catherine Henry at the Basilica in Baltimore in January of 1858 and they had a number of children only two of which survived to be adults. Are you by any chance in Maryland and does any of this look like it fits your Sinnott?
Thank you for the response and let me know if I can help your research.

Two of the three Sinnotts I know of in my tree is a Thomas Synnott who married Ellen [--?--]. Their daughter Margaret was baptized in Rathangan in 1829. Margaret married John Sommers. John's mother was a Catherine Sinnott, and all I know about her is her name.
In 1880 there was an Ellen Sinnott in Westminster, with a son Thomas. I have wondered if she was the Ellen above.
Are you by any chance in Maryland and does any of this look like it fits your Sinnott?
I'm not in Maryland anymore, which makes research difficult. I only get there about once a year.
I'm not sure if your Sinnotts and mine are connected. It was a common-enough name in the area. I despair of ever figuring it all out.

Sean, All the Sinnott's you mentioned above appear to be in Enniscorthy .Whereas John's Gate St. is in Wexford Town, about 14 miles from 'Scorthy .
The only Sinnott in Wexford Town in the 1800s who was in the fabric business
(that I can find ) was Charlotte Sinnott ,Draper of Main St. Wexford. There was another Maria Sinnott who was a hat seller from Cornmarket which is a continuation of John's Gate St. Most other Sinnotts in the town were either ironmongers or land owners.

Thanks to all for the responses/information. My Sinnott branch descends from a Patrick Sinnott who married Alice Hore & began to have children in 1782. They had 17 children between 1782 and 1805. Many of the names listed in the 1894 directory appear to be family names but of later generations. Slater's National Comm'l Directory of 1846 list several family names in the grocery and leather setter business while Griffith's Valuation identifies a Sinnott compound in St. Johns that appears to include a number of related families. One of the 17 children, Alexander bn. 1799 married Sally(or Sarah) Currin in March of 1824 and they had 4 children: Patrick bn 1825, John bn 1828, Nicholas bn 1830 and Sarah bn 1833. Patrick went to Baltimore in the USA in 1854 as did John. Patrick married Mary Bolger in February 1854 and they had one son John T or P. John and his wife arrived in Baltimore after Patrick and had both contracted ships disease which the subsequently gave to Mary Bolger who also died. Patrick remarried in Baltimore to Catherine Henry and they had 4 or 5 children.
I don't know if any of this helps but I hope someone in Wexford might read it and recognise the history.

There is a lot of information on this board. I to am searching for a Patrick Sinnett or Sinnott born 1752 in Wexford. He came to America in 1773 and landed in Dumfries, Va. so it is said. He married a Catherine Hevener and settled in the Va. / WV area till his deat in 1850. I'm looking for any information on parents, brothers, sisters, anything in Wexford that conects him in his 21 years there. thank you.

Thank you for the response and let me know if I can help your research.
Given the leather and tradesmen links, I am curious to know if you are aware of any shoemakers in your ancestors extended family?
My Sinnott ancestors George Sinnott (1793-1876) and Edward Synnott (1838-1907) were shoemakers in Castlepollard, County Westmeath.

Im looking for a Susanna (Susan) Sinnott of Wexford married John Hore btw 1803-1819 (We found records or at least mentions for both years) they had a daughter Catherine who married Maurice (Morris) Kinsella late 20's early 30's, My family then progresses from the Kinsella line. Would anyone have any records or notes on this branch of Sinnotts please ? Thanks Catherine

I was interested to see you mentioned a Susan Sinnot and John Hore marriage. Only by chance I saw a post last night with the marriage of a couple with the same names.
13/11/1803 JOHN HORE SUSAN SINOTT James Hays and Thomas Devereux.
The record I believe came from the Oylegate/Glenbrien church records. My gggrandfather was John Hore b c 1881 in Oylegate. His parents were James Hore and Mary Roche and all I have been able to find about James b c 1850 was his father was also a James Hore and mother's first name was Johanna. I would be very interested to know if you had any more information about the Hore family?
Regards,
Martina

You need to know where in Wexford they came from.
Who was the grandson's parents, did they remain in Ireland and if so have you found them in the 1901 Census?
Have you found the grandson's birth?
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
and his parent's marriage?

The only Sinnott in Wexford Town in the 1800s who was in the fabric business
(that I can find ) was Charlotte Sinnott ,Draper of Main St. Wexford.
Charlotte Sinnott is a wee bit of a mystery. There is a death and probate record Charlotte, spinster dying 21 may 1915 (death cert place Rockfield, Wexford, probate gives address as of South Main St, which matches with census records, and late of Rockfield House). Her birthdate from these records could be anything from around 1850 to 1853, however the only birth I can find at all is one in 1847 (if she died a spinster with no family around, then perhaps age at death was only estimated). Probate was granted to administrators Hugh M'Carthy Hotel Proprietor and Elizabeth hore Widow.
If she is the one born in 1847, then it is this microfilm https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634138#page/1/mode/1up born 28 jan, bap 29 jan 1847 in Wexford, diocese of Ferns to parents James SINNOTT and Anne CULLIMORE. There are two earlier children to the same parents: Robert (15/16 feb 1841) and Daniel (13 jul 1843). I can't actually find anything more about this family at the moment though.

I am looking for information on Mary Sinnott. She married Patrick Murphy in 1835, and they had five children before he died. She then married John Kennedy. She was born in Ireland and died in Toodyay, Western Australia.

Hello,
I see several published trees but not sure how verified/complete they are so apologies if you already have these. I know you want to find out about Mary but they might give you a place to search.
I hope they are the right family too as they are not the same parish. :)
Edward - 5th May 1840 - Bree, Wexford
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634028#page/8/mode/1up
Godparents may be helpful Pierce and Mary Sinnott
Michael - 13th May 1844 - Monageer, Wexford
I can only see it through another site -not on Catholic NLI
The townland is possibly Tomnaboley and the Godparents are James and Eliza Hall.

T. Michael Sommers, Your GGrandmother and my Great, Great, Great, Grandfather were brother and sister, with parents named Catherine Byrne and John Sinnott (1882-1913), in which John's father (your GGmother's Grandfather) was named James Sinnott, a small farmer from Rathangan, Wexford County Ireland. So in some roundabout small way, we are related. I reside in PA on the PA/MD Line with my family being from Baltimore.

Hello, I'm new here. Not certain if I'm supposed to start a new thread or continue on with this current one.
I'm looking for information on the Sinnott family in Wexford but I'm needing details further back than has been discussed here.
Does anyone know anything about
Richard Sinnott B:Abt. 1680 married Joan Las˙ B:Abt. 1682
Or anything about the family from around that time?
-

Or anything about the family from around that time?
The Sennett/Sinnott surname study has three children: Patrick b 1701, Catherine b 1705, and Thomas b 1708
It is quite difficult to prove connections between people in that kind of time frame, so while there are two possible marriages for son Thomas (one to Catherine Sinnott in 1730 in Ferns, which is probably wrong, and one to Catherine Devereux in Wexford in 1736, which may be right but needs more proof) until further evidence surfaces they can't be considered correct right now.
What is your connection, and do you have any other evidence of connections to this couple or any of the three children?

Unfortunately I missed this thread when it was first posted many years ago, as it might have been useful to communicate with the OP, who does not seem to have logged in for some years now.
I descend from Eleanor/Ellen Sinnott, who married Patrick Roche of Wexford Town, via their son Edward Roche, baptised Wexford 8/9/1821. Patrick is believed to have been a shoemaker.
