Wexford / Re: Sinnott family in Wexford
« on: Tuesday 30 March 10 17:48 BST (UK) »
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.
