Wexford / Re: Cleary / Roche County Wexford

Looking at the Irish birthplaces of her siblings, though, they did seem to move around a bit - Lower Aughrim, Baltinglass, Rathdrum, Kiltegan. I don't know if that was normal at the time.

Unusual for many, normal for some.
If the Owen Roche, the father on the 1871 birth registration of Joseph Roche, is your ancestor, then it may have been quite normal. His occupation is listed as stonemason. A profession where men had to potentially move around as projects started and finished.

OP - Obtaining a copy of Peter's 1845 marriage registration would seem to be in order. That would give you his father's name and occupation.

How do you edit posts in this blog please? I realise that I wrote 1950 instead of 1850 several times. I can't find an edit button.

There is a limited time window in which editing is possible. After that, you can't make changes.

There is a William Cleary listed in the 1833 tythe valuation of the parish of Kilmore, Co. Wexford.

There is a Widow Cleary listed in the 1834 (or 31?)  tythe valuation of the parish of Kilmore, Co. Cavan, townland of Kevitt.
The NAI list this under Kilmore, Co. Mayo, but I believe they are mistaken.

Mary Bridget Roche being born in Macroom - 1939 England and Wales register lists her birthplace as County Cork, Ireland. I'm sure I saw an explicit reference to Macroom somewhere, perhaps in the
.....As there's a baptism of a Mary Bridget Roche in Fermoy, Cork, in March 1869 with the parents being Owen Roche and Bridget Daly.


Fermoy isn't Macroom, though, is it?

Regarding Wexford (Town), the 1901 England census lists his birth place as 'Westford, Ireland', which I took to be a spelling mistake, as I haven't found a place called Westford.

Could also be Westport.

Peter Cleary, born 1821 - married Isabella Linsley in North-East England (Durham I believe). Evidence for him being from Kilmore is the 1881 E&W Census listing him (Peter Clarry  ::) ) as being born in Kilmoor, Ireland. And I think I've seen Rilmore somewhere too! I've seen others on Ancestry listing a James Cleary, born 1790 in County Clare as his father, but I haven't found documentary evidence of that.

There is a Kilmore in Co. Cavan. A parish and also the name of the entire diocese.
That your Peter Cleary ended up in Durham, might suggest mining - did he have such an association? There were mines in the vicinity of Co. Cavan, which might make a Cavan origin more likely if so. Downside is he would have been born before start of parish register.

There is also a Kilmore Catholic/civil parish in Co. Mayo, on the ocean.

Kilmore, Co. Wexford - A parish with fishing village and an agricultural area. Unlikely candidate for move to Durham? No sign of his baptism in parish registers.
Kilmore, Co. Clare - just a townland.

Hi there, I wonder if you can help fill some gaps around two of my ancestors from County Wexford:

Peter Cleary, born 1821, Kilmore, County Wexford

Owen Roche, born c.1842, Wexford (City, I believe)

Both of them emigrated, as many did, to England later in the 19th Century (Peter Cleary in the 1840s, I believe), and Owen Roche after March 1869 (as that's when my great grandmother, Mary Bridget Roche, was born in Macroom, Co. Cork), where there are quite clear records, but what I'm interested in is information on their lives in Ireland, and particularly about their parents/grandparents. Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated!

You could help us to help you if you could provide some more information:

Peter Cleary
What is the source of the knowledge that he was from Kilmore, Co. Wexford.
When/where/who did he marry?
Occupation?

Owen Roche.
There is no Wexford City, I presume you mean the town? Again, what is the source of the indication that he was from there?
Did he go by any other name other than Owen?
Where/when/who did he marry?
In particular, I fid it perplexing that if Peter was from Wexford, then why would his daughter have been born in Macroom, Co. Cork?
Occupation?

Mary Roche
You say there are clear records for her birth in Macroom in March 1869. Can you reference these? Civil registration? Baptism? I can't see either.
Mother's name?
