John William O'Regan or Regan born 1857, possibly Wexford
« on: Saturday 28 October 17 20:16 BST (UK) »
See attached research attained by my late cousin.  I have been unable to get past our great-great grandfather, John William O'Regan/Regan, born 3/20/1857, married Mary Agnes Stubbs, 7/7/1881 in Dublin, left Ireland for Baltimore, Maryland.  John's siblings were Bryan, Lawrence & Bridget.  On the marriage certificate, John Regan is listed as father; have no idea the name John's wife. (In the past, we were told by now deceased family members that the O in O'Regan was dropped at one point and as you can see, in 1881 they were no longer using the O.)  If you can shed any light on our family tree, please respond.  Wexford, you see, has a question mark.  God bless.

Difficult to read that attachment, it's a bit big.

Looks like his parents are John and Sarah from Ferns Wexford.

You could search Ferns parish for his and his siblings baptisms

THANKS SO MUCH!  HUGE HELP!  I had been going through the microfilm but there were so many parishes in Wexford, I was doing them one by one.  Also, the researcher did not provide the mother's first names and here they are on microfilm.  Thanks!  God bless you.

Thank you !  Thank you!  I know Sally is a nickname for Sarah as I went to school with a Sarah/Sally .  Does anybody know where Wexfair is?  It shows Mary Stubbs residence as "Wexfair" - It definitely does not look like Wexford.

Wexford town, I'd say, it's her father's name that's bugging me what is that before John?

Squire John - i think maybe it's a title?  My cousin, Dianna, recently visited his address in Dublin and she said it was a pretty pricey townhome.
