Hi all
        My greatgrandfather Robert Kent on a prison record  1900 says he was born in Ballywilliam Nr New Ross in 1855 he is fairly consistent with his age as in 1901 after doing hard labour for a month he says he is 46
1901 with my gran

he died from cancer in 1908 in Donard
His brother and sisters and daughter Ellen 1901

and 1911 with his son Laurence

I have looked at the Rathnure and Templeudigan NLI reel and can find no trace of them is there another reel that covers Ballywilliam.

His fathers name from his marriage cert is David Kent

any help with assistance greatfully appreciated

Sometimes the map on the parish records site is a big help. I see that New Ross parish isn't near Rathnure & Templeudigan. Have you tried New Ross yet? or perhaps Old Ross or St. Mullins which are between those two?

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
