This is an extract from the 1861 census for a Jane Wyeth who was born abt 1823. She was living in Kensington at the time with her husband and family. His name was James Few although this has variously been transcribed as Farr and Fan. The 1881 census is not much help as the enumerator put down Kensington for the whole of the family.

The place looks something like Bamstead to me but that is not a Hampshire place name as far as I am aware.

In the 1851 census her place of birth is given as Hants, Wootton.

I am trying to trace the birth of Sarah Ware who has her place of birth as being Titchfield, between 1811 and 1813, depending on the census return. She married Robert Hughes in Cork in Ireland in 1837 and then returned to Hampshire to produce and raise a family. I have her in Southampton from the 1841 census, right through to being resident in what looks like Thomer's Charity Almshouses in 1891. I believe she died 27/12/1895 in Southampton, though I am waiting to get hold of a copy of the dc.

I have tried searches on Ancestry, using a variety of spellings, without result.

I have just used the excellent irishgenealogy.ie site and tracked down the date of birth and other details for my GG Grandfather Robert Hughes. The details are quite impressive but being transcribed it is not quite the same as seeing the actual page of the register. One never knows if some piece of information has been mis-transcribed or missed out completely.

The parish structure in Ireland is somewhat more complicated than I had expected so I would like some advice if possible. According to Rootsweb, the original microfilms for the Diocese of Kerry would be kept at the National Library in Dublin and that to be seen, permission of the Bishop would be required. Alternatively, the original parish records might still be held by the parish priest, which in this case, would be the Church of St. John the Baptist in Tralee.

My question is, are the original records likely to be on-line somewhere or should I start planning my trip?

I am tracing my GGG Grandfather, Robert Hughes who was born in Newtown, Wexford, abt 1800. He joined the Wexford Militia and served in the 12th Foot. He married Sarah Ware from Titchfield, Hants. England in Cork in 1837. They appear to have been quite thorough about the matter as they got married twice, first at SS Peter and Paul in Cork on 25/09/1837 and then again on 23/10/1837 at the Parish Church of Rincun? in the County and Diocese of Cork,  but is difficult to make out. The first church is Catholic and the second, Church of Ireland. Perhaps they wanted to appease both sets of parents.
They had a son, Robert John Hughes, abt 1839 in Kerry before moving to Southampton, England.
