Hi Biffbiff; i would assume that is the finns in Craanford; gorey, co. wexford. Giles and Finn would all have been from the local area.
I will ask around with my relations who live in Craanford and they might know who to ask. One of my own relations knows a lot of history of the families; she may know something.
If I find out anything I will let you know. Not sure if there is still giles still about.

Hi cferrie; thats a brilliant link. thanks for telling me about it. Yes the Sunderlands are my ancestors. You should private message ms smokestoomuch on this thread as she was researching the eustaces as well and had bits on eustaces who lived in ballymore-eustace in county kildare so you could be related to her as well.
Two bits of info i can  help with; maybe you can send it on to the person who did the website. William Eustace married Margaret Sunderland in 1878. i should have the marriage cert if you need a copy. you will have to pm your email address to me. The Sunderlands are from the townland of Ballyscartin; its halfway between Gorey and Ballymoney; so the Ballycurtan is wrong.
Regarding the 1901 census;  William is recorded on it but his wife Margaret is not. The reason is that Margaret was recorded as patient in St. Johns County Home in Enniscorthy. So it looks like she may have suffered a mental illness or something. If you research the census of 1901 for the institution you can find her on it as "wife of blacksmith" and using process of deduction you can figure out it is her. there is also a mention of the eustaces in the book on forges of wexford. if you need more detail on the book let me know. kind regards gerard

Hi Margaret, I think you need to re-check your location and addresses/townlands.
From my quick look at it this is the following:

Pallas is near Kilanerin outside Gorey in North Wexford and is close to the Wicklow border. If you are in this area; the most likely church for baptisms is Kilanerin Church.
As I said before Kilanerin was the main church for Gorey as well before St Michaels in Gorey was built in 1839/1840's.

Corcanon is NOT in Pallas.
Corcanon is a townland in the parish of Kilcavan which is near/on side of Tara Hill.

Corcanon - Townland.
306 acres. Barony of Gorey.
Civil parish of Kilcavan.
Poor law union of Gorey.

In this case; the local chapel is St. Kevins Church Tara Hill.  There is a small graveyard up past it known as Kilcavan graveyard. You are on the "side" of Tara Hill when you are there.

So it may be that your family travelled down from Pallas area for some reason to Corcanon in Tara
Hill to baptise the baby. You can use the small country roads around Tara Hill to get to Inch, then Pallas - Kilanerin area. Hope this helps you.

Thanks
Gerard

Pallas is probably the modern spelling of the area and is just outside Gorey, north Co.Wexford.

Early births around 1800 etc would have been in Kilanerin Chapel as this was were the catholic church was. At the time no catholic church was allowed in Gorey until the 1840s when St. Michaels was built in Gorey. Kilanerin is about 3 or 4 miles outside Gorey town.  You would not be very far from the county Wicklow border then either when there. Thanks Gerard

Thanks Oliverd and Daithi - interesting point.
I did not know that the grave could be resold like that??

I was thinking of putting a small marker on it only nothing permanent e.g maybe a small cross with a plaque  or attaching a small plaque to the kerbing surrounding the grave (nothing like a big headstone or anything). For me it is just a token to avoid the grave being unmarked. The grave is in the old part of glasnevin and is a single grave with 4 people. When I went searching for it; we could not find it and the resident historian helped us by taking us downstairs into the storage area of the visitor centre where the original large graveyard books are. We looked them up there and it all seemed okay. We then found the grave with his help. 
What is interesting for me is that I got the will of the last occupant in 1908 in the last few weeks; and they expressed the wish that £25 be spent to put up a headstone for their memory and their parents and brother in the grave. Of course the executor of the will never completed that request. It was a shame really as the first occupant went into the grave in 1864; so the family should have done something then. But cest la vie. (And they were well off as well in the Victorian times so easily could have afforded a headstone) regards gerard
