Hi shorts, George Fenlon and Bridget Neil lived in Stowbridge Wexford. Do you know where Stowbridge was in Wexford ?

And also a cousin of my mothers married a John Dalton from Wexford her name was Margaret Fenlon, would he (John) been related to you ?


Hi

I believe this is in fact Stonebridge (Lane) which is a narrow lane off of South Main Street between Bride Street & Kings Street - see http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,705011,621499,7,9 which shows the lane and the buildings at the turn of the century.

The lane is still there but the old dwellings no longer exist. Attached is a photo of the Lane today taken from South Main St.

The John Dalton you refer to is not a relation although it's highly likely that there is a distant connection - I've still got a lot to do in that area!

Hi Dukeslane

Based on the info in your PM and the 1901 census it looks like these may be the graves of two of your Grandfather's (Michael Fenlon) brothers, Luke and Richard. They are in Crosstown Cemetery, Wexford Town.

And also a cousin of my mothers married a John Dalton from Wexford her name was Margaret Fenlon, would he (John) been related to you ?

Hi Dukeslane

I had an opportunity at the weekend to talk with my Mother on some family history and contrary to my earlier answer to your question I am in fact related to the John Dalton you refer to – I’m a 1st cousin, once removed.

He was my Mother’s cousin and ‘gave her away’ at her marriage in 1958 and below is a photo taken at the wedding. Maggie Fenlon, John’s wife, is 2nd from the right and John is in the middle of the photo. Their daughter Mary was a bridesmaid.

I understand they subsequently divorced and she died in London. She may have had a brother named Richard who lived in Bristol. 

My mother’s memories of Ben Fenlon was, as mentioned in Nickr90’s post, that he and his brother would buy from the local kids used lemonade and beer bottles. He lived in the Faythe on the left hand side as you go down towards town (where Bernadette Place is now situated) so it’s very likely his actually cottage/house is no longer there. My Grandfather, who I understand was very particular about who he associated with, would spend many hours at Ben’s place talking about the issues of the day and no doubt knocking back the odd beer!
