« on: Sunday 09 May 21 17:54 BST (UK) »
Hello looking for info on a Abel rathwell born around 1795 in Wexford Ireland died around 1880 in Ontario Canada married to a Alice Kendrick who I’m looking info for her also she was born 1806 and died in New York USA. I’m trying to fine the true parents to my third great grandfather and grandmother. I’ve been in every site and research everywhere with no results I hope someone can help me here. Abel was a weaver if this helps.

You could contacted 88 tree owners on ancestry - quite a few say the father of Abel was Thomas Radwell Rathwell 1745–1812
born 1745 - Newtownbarry, County Wexford, Ireland died 9 March 1812 - Barnahask, Barragh, Carlow, Ireland.

married in 1765 to Mary Walkden 1750–1860
born 1750 - Bunclody, Wexford, Ireland died 14 October 1860  Ireland.
