Wexford / Hughes of Wexford
« on: Wednesday 25 March 09 13:40 GMT (UK) »
I am hoping to find my Hughes family ancestors in Wexford. My grandfather Michael Hughes b. 23 April 1875 (according to familysearch.com, the baptism was in Killenagh & Wells, Wexford, Ireland), came to England to live and work probably sometime before the turn of the century as he was married in England in 1902. I know he had a brother James Hughes b. 1873 and a sister Sarah Hughes b. 1871 who died in 1930, and that his parents were called Peter and Bridget McCreary. I have so far been unable to find much more about the family.
The places I remember my father mentioning were Gorey, Ballinagam and Ballygarret, but as he has unfortunately now passed away, I am unable to find out more information from him.
Any information regarding the family anyone may have, or any suggestions as to how I can find out more, would be much appreciated.
