Hi

Its been many years since I have re read these messages and since then have had DNA done and found direct cousins to my family in Castlehill Street. I am going through the messages again now that I have much more information and will post here for the wonderful people involved who have helped me further my research into finding my family. This is an amazing site and I have made many friends on here, to be able to return and go over the messages again because the information that I have been given even years later just slots right in with new family members that have come about because of DNA. I would just like to thank you all sincerely for all your help in getting me as far as I have come. Carol  :)

Carol,
Good to have contact. I look forward to interesting news especially arising from DNA matches. I had mine taken recently (on MyHeritage) and it has brought up a few interesting links, but mostly needing further work.
Regards
Gearóid

Hello all.  I have been away from site for some time but today i dipped in and found these messages re Castlehill Street.  my Walsh family have always given me problems as Gt.grandad John Walsh married Mary Furlong two of the more popular names in the town.  In 1901 they were shown at 1 Castlehill Street having moved from King street a couple of years before and that is why i became hopeful when i read the latest post.   I can find no trace of them in the 1911 census but know that son William died there in 1905.  I have tried DNA but so far the only Walsh to contact me lives in Newfoundland with no knowledge of Wexford so I am hoping for a connection this time.  Fingers crossed  Anne

Patrick Furlong was married to Mary Furlong, both same surname. Mary was a sister of my great grandfather Charles Furlong who lived a few doors away on Swan View, The Faythe (although his house was sometimes listed as Castlehill Street. Castlehill Street is now Kevin Barry Street. I can id both houses on Google Maps/Earth if you like.
Mary and Charles were the children of John Furlong d.1887 and Anty Kavanagh b. 1835 in Castlebridge, d. 1905. Both Anty and John died in Distillery Road, Wexford Town.
Hope this helps. I have a bit more on my MyHeritage site, "Kehoe Mac Eochaidh". Feel free to look. I only have one photo of Charles, which might be of interest.
Regards, Gearóid.

Thank you for the information. :) Does anyone know if any of the Castle hill Furlongs moved to Birmingham or Manchester. I have found Christine Furlong and Charlotte Furlong in Birmingham on census records but I'm not sure if they are from this particular family.
