Hi: I am researching the Wyse family of St. John’s without, Waterford, Ireland. Michael Wyse and Ellen Connors were married 24 Feb 1811 at St John's Parish, Waterford City, County Waterford. They were Roman Catholic, no parents were listed but the witnesses were Witnesses John Connors & Matthew Machey. Their son, Andrew Wyse was born in 1811 (according to various documents in the USA) but I cannot find a baptism record for him or the baptisms of any other siblings. Based on the marriage location the title records for Ellen Wyse below , what church would this family have attended and baptized their children? If possible, could someone to do a lookup for the baptism of Andrew Wyse in 1811/1812, please?
My second question has to do with how I can move forward with the following tithe records to prove/disprove that these are my ancestors:
It appears that Michael Wyse may have died before 1834 because Ellen appears to be on her own from 1834 on. Is that a reasonable assumption to make?
The tithes place Ellen Wyse as follows:
1834 Carrig West Townland, St John's Without, Waterford, 1835 Ballytruckle Townland, St John's Without, Gaultiere, Waterford, and Waterford Townland, St John's Without, Waterford and 1845 Ballytruckle, St John's Without, Gaultiere, Waterford. According to Griffiths Valuation, Ellen Wyse is located at Ballytruckle Townland, St John's Without, Gaultiere, Waterford.
The tithe records place a Michael Wyse in 1849 Ballytruckle Townland, St John's Without, Gaultiere, Waterford, Ireland, 1847 Crooke, Crooke, Gaultiere, Waterford, 1846 Crooke, Crooke, Gaultiere, Waterford, 1853 Crooke, Crooke, Gaultiere, Waterford. I am thinking that this may be a son of Michael Wyse & Ellen Connors as he appears in Ballytruckle Townland in 1849.
The tithe records places an Andrew Wyse in 1845 Ballycourdra, St Johns Without, Gaultiere, Waterford, Ireland and I think this could be my Andrew, son of Michael Wyse & Ellen Connors. Andrew immigrated to Buffalo, New York, USA and first record I have of him there isJuly 22 1849 when he married Jane Nickles.
I appreciate any advice you have to share with me.
