Looking for Michael Meyler (Mayler/Myler) b. 1831 Co. Wexford
« on: Sunday 15 January 23 18:31 GMT (UK) »
Michael was born in Co. Wexford in 1831. He married Elizabeth Furlong (1843-1876). Together they had six children: Anastasia (b 1862), Margaret (b 1864), James (b 1867), William Aloysius (1869-1934), Eliza (b 1872), and Nicholas (1874-1961). William Aloysius moved to the US in 1900 and is my wife’s great-grandfather.
Michael’s name is spelled in three different ways: Meyler, Mayler, and Myler.
The 1901 census shows him living in Tacumshin, Co Wexford.
Any help is much appreciated!

This Michael, a farmer in Sigginstown?

So, you have baptism and civil registration of wife and children, and only need details for Michael?

But on the registration of his son James's birth in 1867, he is down as a labourer.

This matters, as labourers moved around. Farmers tended not to, for obvious reasons.

On Griffith's Valuation, in 1853, there is a James Meyler in Sigginstown, with a small holding of 6 acres.

Based on naming patterns (first son James), and that Michael initially described himself as a labourer, I suspect this is his father.

There are children born to James Meyler and Margaret Devereux in the parish of Lady's Island, which includes Sigginstown, and Tacumshane generally.
