Wexford Town - connections & tales

[nickr90]

Depends on how important the family and how recent in that hallowed isle.
Families of County Wexford is one option. Another is a book published in Our Lady's Island a few years ago. I will check publication details and post here in a few days.

Thanks Nick will wait to here from you ref other book title. Rellies still live there but as I said they seem not to know a lot about their past. The family are labourers so not too posh but important to me. Will have a look for the book you did mention and see if it's available to get from the library. Thanks Again for your help so far

"Our Ladys Island Millenium Memories" is the title. Unfortunately it was a local publication so no ISBN to assist in seeking it.
The Kavanagh Family Buncarrig are listed in the extensive sponsors.
Not sure of your location.
If in Ireland your library might source a copy by Inter Library Loan from Wexford - I'm sure they must have it.
Unfortunately it is not indexed so could not look for Kavanagh mentions.

Many Thanks Nick
"The Kavanagh Family Buncarrig" are I think my Kavanaghs, So this seems to be my best lead so far. I think I might have to try and see if I can get one of my Irish rellies to try and find it over there for me.

Regards
Gerry

Hello all,

Was wondering if anybody could help me?

My Late Grandfather ]'Patrick Burke'born 1905 Co Wecford,  played for the gailic Hurling team ''Buffers Alley'' before he married my Grandmother ''Margaret Sunderland'' in 1929 Does anybody have any info about this team from that period?

Also, I am trying (desperatly) to find any info on my Grandmother 'Margaret Sunderland', all I know is that she was born in 1910 and came from Milltown, Ferns, Co.Wexford. Her parents ''William Sunderland & Ellen Furlong sadly passed away in the Great Flu of 1918.

Any info would be most appreciated.

Thank you

[biffbiff]

Hi Nick
I have a student in my class who is researching his grandfather, Myles O'Rourke.
The family were butchers and cattle dealers in Wexford Town for almost two centuries.
Would you have any pictures related to their butcher shop?
Thanks
