Wexford / Re: New member researching Joseph/William Frizell Old Ross 1709 Palatines

Again thank you, I find the search for ancestors an addictive quest of endless clues! Bit by bit we piece things together but it's the help of others who've been on a similar journey who can really unlock things.
As a newbie I haven't yet worked out how to reply to you individually some replies as follows:
Wexflyer: Joseph Frizell and Mary Nichols (mispelt Nicholls) I have triangulated various records and sources including land deed references and birth records to establish this is the correct Mary, including unique documentary ties to the Nichols family, family names including Gustavus and the double barrelling go Robert Nichols-Frizell's surname.
There is a reference to Cornelia Frizell's will on another Roots 'Frizell' chat (Summerhill included in) but it looks like the person who had a copy may be deceased. I recognise it may have been destroyed in the 1922 fire but would be interested to find out if there may be a way to double check or if anyone else may have a copy.
Palatine connection I have only recently discovered this tragic period in Irish history, my mother believing the family to be of Irish descent, if they were indeed Palatine I would be grateful for any suggestions of where I might find them on shipping list, all of the ones I've checked so far don't list any variant of Frizell apart from the Adam Fissel on the Southwell estate in Rathkeale. One of the sermons from a priest of St Mary's includes that the Palatine's settled on Able Ram's lands were shipwrecked off the coast. Is there somewhere that a shipwreck of the coast of Wexford for 1709/1710 would be listed?
Thank you for the articles about the Hartnick's/Ram estate I have these and a growing collection of histories including the Old Ross the town that never was. Interesting it is this book that plants the seed of doubt about them being 100% Palatine as little is known about their early 1709/10 origins compared to other families in the book. Could they have been Huguenots even? Any ideas about where to look next would be appreciated.
Thank you Summerhill for the suggestions I will look to follow them up re parish registers etc.
Many thanks again!
