I keep looking at your postings and think to myself just because we have so many matching surnames that it's all co-incidence but the more i look the more I wonder. The one name I haven't seen it your postings is the name Brennan, if it was there then it would tie up things. I have names French from Clonakilty Cork, goes way back in time mainly related to religious institutions but I've come to a dead end with Francis Alan French 1905–1943. I have both Jane Murphy's from Wexford(her daughter Anastasia Brennan 1887– Dec 1887 • Carlow, Ireland)  and Kehoe's from Wexford and also the name Hughes (Wicklow) Does any of the other register with you. Regards Jackie.
Brennan. Harden. McElhinney, Towhey, Lovely- Towhey, Loval Towhey. Pattingale, Bentley. Scott. Pool.
Kilkenny, Dublin, Co. Donegal. England. Berwick on Tweed. Birmingham. Manchester America, New York, Oregan.

"Houses of Wexford" with thanks to David Rowe & Eithne Scallan
===============
History; Ballytor(e)y Castle, which is incorporated into the house, was built by the French family about 1200. It remained the principle seat of this influential family, also at nearby Rathshelane Castle and with another branch at Bannow as well as Harpoonstown. The noted Nicholas French, Bishop of Ferns, was born at Ballytory in 1604 and died in exile in Ghent.
