Dear Jean,

We are so delighted to hear from you. My mum Elizabeth was born in Kildare and now lives in County Westmeath. I am her daughter and live in County Galway.
I have just contacted my mum and she will route out our information and we will contact you with the information later today. All our research is with mum to ensure that all is kept together. I could not resist contacting you as soon as I saw your post.

Mum and I took a week off to do some genealogy research and called to Ardree graveyard. We have photos of the graves of the Wall side and one of Hugh Blakeny's grave stone. We can get copies and send to you. My aunt lives outside Athy and we stayed with her during our research. We were there in July. It is such a pity that we only got onto this forum recently. We could have arranged to meet up to discuss our family.
We are awaiting information from Athy parish church on Patrick Wall and Matthew Wall and if there is anything you would like us to find out please let us know. We can certainly look into that marriage cert for you. We are on a wait list for information since Jan 2012!!! The process is quite slow.
As far as we know there are no Blakenys living in the Ardree area but I will verify with mum. The Blakenys had a mill rented and my mum has a diary that her grandmother kept and she talks about the Blakenys in it. It would be great to share the information.

It s such a pity that we missed you and your daughter when you were over. My e-mail address is * but i wil keep an eye on this forum and contact you when mum has pulled the information for you

 Do either of these Pat Wall marriages sound familiar?
