Further to my post above I've found this particular James Carroll's baptism record - he was born on 20 July 1886.

I think now that this is the Carroll family residence.

Johanna Carroll (nee Carthy) is James Carroll's mother per his 1886 baptism record. In 1901 Johanna's living in Hill Street, a young Widow. Her two living young daughters are residing with her 75 year old Mother in the Faythe.

By 1911 she's back in the Faythe & now has her two daughters (2 of her 3 living childen) with her. The third living child must be James who may have been at sea at the time the census was taken.

Hi
Looking for information on these ships out of Wexford, the person I am researching, Laurence Butler,  served on these ships,  any infomation on Laurence or his son Ambrose would be very welcome.

Whilst going through the records I have noticed that there are a number of Mariners from Wexford with the surname ButlerI am begining to think that they may be related,  I can across a John Butler who was Master on the Vivid in 1864 and the Independence in 1863 I wonder if he is the brother of Laurence and the son of Laurence?
 

This infomation is taken from his Masters Certificate in 1851

Hi Shorts . Have you found any connection  in the registers with the Carrol's and Begerin Island ?.

[inchamore]

Hi All I also have Carroll's from wexford in my tree.  My great grandmother was Bridget Carroll b 1882 in Wexford. Father Patrick Carroll, mariner and mother was Margaret Neill.  Another sister of Bridget was Margaret Mary Carroll b 1879 who later emigrated to Canada.  If anyone has any further info I'd be interested, cant seem to find much on the census.
