Yeomanry Arms list for 1844 - where can I find it????

[Katharine75]

Hi. Does anyone know of any places that I can find the 'yeomanry arms list 1844' or a similar listing (any year), particularly for county wexford?
This source is meant to list people in the county.

There's a list on Google Books - in a parliamentary publication titled 'Accounts and Papers - 1844'

It mentions a total for Co. Wexford of 329, but only lists names for the 8 people that registered more than 'One Stand of Yeomanry Arms' in their possession (sorry no idea what that means) - see  : link

Thanks for that Shanew. I had a look at it, and conclude that it must be the same list that the website irishfamilyhistory has listed. Although, their description was misleading, as it says it lists everyone in the county with ownership of a gun (which, back it 1844, I would have imagined might have been many people!). I would have paid for a subscription to their site, just going by what they wrote. But probably wouldn't have found what I was expecting. You have saved me some money LOL.
Many thanks, Katharine.

It's well worth searching google books for this sort of information, as they have digitized a large number of old books - and are continually adding more, so might be worth re-checking in a few months.

Shane - do you have any idea where I can get Ferns Marriage Licence Indexes for the 1750s through to the 1830s?

I've seen a few small index lists of marriage licences during searches - but nothing for the Diocese of Ferns. Will keep an eye out ..

Maybe someone else has come across something ?
