For those of you with ancestors from the Maudlintown area here follows a list of people who lived there in the early 1920s, long before the present estate was even thought of. Starting at the south end ,near the present day Service Station. These come from an old lady who is the oldest former resident from the street.

If anyone is interested in more recent information it would probably be best they contact you offline by PM (personal message) since Rootschat policy does not allow posting details of possibly living people.
-
It's not recent ,just too cumbersome to post here at the one time. But I will keep site policy in mind for the future Ta!
-
Your post mentioned 'early 1920s' so some of the people might still be alive which is why I suggested using PM.
-
Sure ,I appreciate that thank you .

Hi Shellback
I'm interested in your reference to Katie Clowery. I have a great Aunt by this name b1892 (nee Dalton) who married in 1913 and died in 1925. I know she resided in Barrack St at date of death but that's all. Do you have any more details?
At the bottom of the Lane opposite the Graveyard I remember from the late 1960's an old lady by the name of "Fortune" living in a small rather run down cottage. She's no longer alive but do you know anything of her history?
Attached are the names of the residents in the area as at 1936.
-
Hi Shorts , The lady in question was Mrs. Fortune . Just before her cottage fell in she built a small house in her back garden and lived there until she passed away. She was a well spoken lady and was a little eccentric . Iremember when she reared calfs and brought them for walks On a leash like they were dogs!.
The lists of residents you put up shows many of the families from my list.None of my lot there though.Most of the people in what was then the new St. Magdalen's houses I remember even though it was long before my time.
-
Hi Shellback
I am interested in your Fardy reference at No12.
My Fardy’s are from Blackhall and Wilkinstown, Glynn, Killurin, County Wexford. I have details of Fardy relations who had moved into Wexford Town.
In 1879 James Fardy of Wexford Town sailed to his brother Miley in America.
In you post you have “No 12. The Miss Fardys ( As the name suggests, originally from the Hook area)”
Do you know that they were from the Hook area, or are you just assuming they were?
I would be interested in any help and advice you can give me or any Fardy information you have.

-
Hi Mogue, the two Miss Fardys were from the Hook area for sure. Iam not at home at the moment but Iwill check out what few details I have of them as soon as Iget back and will let you know. MNot sure but I think you will find them mentioned in the 1911 census.
-
Hi Shellback
I have looked at the 1911 Census and I cannot see where the two “Miss Fardy’s” might be.
What were the names and possible ages of your “Miss Fardy’s”?
Mogue
-
Hi
There seems to be 2 Maudlintown in the 1911 Census. Are they from the same place? Or are they different places?
Both of these Maudlintowns have Fardy in them. Which of these relate to the list from
Shellback? And which relates to the list from Shorts?
In Maudlintown, DED of Clongeen there are 7 residences see the following:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Wexford/Clongeen/Maudlintown/
In Maudlintown Urban, DED Wexford No 2 Urban there are 37 residences, see:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Wexford/Wexford_No__2_Urban/Maudlintown_Urban__part_of/
Regards
Mogue
-
Two different areas. Both Shellback and Shorts lists refer to the one in Wexford town. Maudlintown in Wexford town (Wexford urban) is an area of the town. The other Maudlintown is a townland in the parish of Bannow, DED Clongeen.
-
Hi again Culbaire,
Thanks for sorting them out for me. The Fardy of Maudlintown in town is the one I need to look at.

Very interesting information. Would you possibly have a list of occupants for The Faythe for the same period. I' looking for Dora Radford (nee Radford)
Thanks

Hi - There's a P Radford resident in the Faythe as at Oct 1936.
The more details you can provide the more chance of getting information. What's her approx year of birth? Who's she married to? (is her maiden and married surname 'Radford' or is that a mistake?)
-
Thanks for your prompt reoply. Yes, that is a mistake. I'm looking for Dora Radford(nee Devereux)
She was born in 1885 and died in 1974. I found her living with her family in 96 The Faythe in the 1901 census. She then moved to King St (1911) census. Would you know if the numbering of the houses in the The Faythe in the 1901 census is the same as it is today. She lived in 172 The Faythe when she returned there. I am her grandson. I have information about the Faythe Devereux's that lived in 96 The Faythe in 1901 if anyone is interested.
Thanks
-
Unfortunately the numbers in the census relates to the form handed out by the enumerator to complete rather than the house number.
I checked another list of residents in the Faythe and a Dora Radford is named on it. It's a list of ratepayers in 1936 who were signatories in opposition to a proposed loan for Wexford's new Town Hall.
Source: The People (Wexford) Oct 1936

Thanks for that.

Hello I am Dora Devereux 's grand daughter,my mother was Margaret Roche.
-
I have a lot of birth, death certificates based on a Peter Clowry/Clowery and his descendentsfrom Maudlinstown, Wexford in the mid 1850s. They seemed to be based their until after 1900's. If anyone would like specific information, please contact me on *.

*** Hello I am Dora Devereux 's grand daughter - my mother was Margaret Roche ***
Dora Devereux married Aidan Roche on July 24th 1911 followed by Patrick Radford on Jan 13th 1918.
Both marriages are recorded in the Bride Street Church marriage register.
-
I have looking at the Butlers from the Faythe and Maudlintown I would be interested to hear from anyone who knows a link between the two families
Nicholas Butler
Nicholas's son John Butler born 1838, Master Mariner, married Margaret Devereux
John's son Clement Butler born 1872, 1st Mate
Laurence Butler born 1796 Sea Captain
Ambrose born 1854 Master Mariner, married Catherine Hewson
Ambrose's son Laurence Butler born 1879 worked on Light Ships, Married Annaliza Cullen
-
I recall some of that family but the older ones have passed on and the younger ones have left the area . As a matter of interest ,Laurence Butler was master of the Billow in 1855 . Ambrose Butler master of Henry lost on the Barrells Rocks Wexford, in1874 ,Laurence Butler on the Princess, no date, John Butler on the Vivid in 1864 . It is almost certain that they came from the Faythe area of Wexford town and it is also certain that they were related .
-
Shellback
Thanks for your reply I found that Catherine Hewson, who married Ambrose Butler in 1873, was the daughter of Peter Hewson, who was also a sea captain, lived in Maudlintown the Butlers and Hewsons lived a few houses apart.
I have the death certificate and Masters certificate for Laurence Butler who died in the Faythe in 1867 his death certificate states he was a Bachelor so I am still looking for a Laurence Butler who had died before 1873 but was the father of Ambrose Butler born 1839.

Hi Shellback,
Thanks for the very interesting info on people living in Maudlintown in the early 20s.
Do you, or anyone who reads this, know anything about Ellen Josephine Byrne who was born on March 6, 1919 in Maudlintown? Her parents were John Byrne, a labourer, and Mary Byrne, formerly Murphy.
Also present at the birth was Kate Walsh, who also lived in Maudlintown.
I'd be grateful for any information about them all,

Not quite sure what TonyLamb was asking back in 2012 but as not on line since 2014 he's unlikely to pick up any replies.
However, for anyone interested in the Maudlintown families here is the Crosstown family headstone of the O'Neill family from No2. The Mother of Kathleen (nee Lambert) was Alice Lambert.
