Hi.  My Gt.grandfather was Patrick O'Rourke.  The whole family were butchers and cattle dealers.  I have a lot of information in my tree on ancestry.  My Liverpool and Wexford Family History Sight.  Also Ger Dwyer has lots of info and I think there is a sketch of the shop in our collection.  Anne

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

Hi Nick! Great Thread that you have going on there!! Really interesting, keep it going!! Sad though that theres no mention of any Barnewells, the family im trying to research, probably likely that they didnt hail from wexford town but rather the new ross or Foulksmills direction! Saw that u had a Thomas Doyle mentioned there in Byrnes lane, im keeping my fingers crossed that this is my g.g grandfather but considering the volume of Doyles from Wexford and County im proabaly clutching at straws! None the less incase someone does read this and by chance knows the family in question, heres my tree so far:

John Doyle (late Grandfather august 1919-may 1993) born in Horetown, Foulksmills Co. Wexford, died in Fermoy, Co. Cork. Son of Patrick Doyle and Elizabeth Barnewell, Horetown Foulksmills.

Patrick Doyle, born circa 1888-1889, died 1975, son of Thomas Doyle, Farmer,mothers name and address still unknown...for now!

Elizabeth Barnewell, Born 17th April 1888 and died 30th of December 1933 aged 46, daughter of James Barnewell, Farmer, and Mary Hayes, Rednoor (address at time of elizas  birth)

Patrick and Eliza married in the "chapel of taghmon" (as per marraige cert) on august 10th 1911 both had an address at Raheen Ballymitty at the time. Both were working as an agricultural labourer and as a servant in houses in the area at the time.
