Thanks Christopher
My husband's gt grandmother was a New Ross Whitty - probably at the other end of the social scale at the time!
One day I'll research them!
Best wishes
Kath

My great-great-grandmother was a Margaret Whitty from New Ross. She married a George Hart Hughes and they both emigrated to Canada. I don't know whether they were married in Ireland or later in Canada.

Thanks. That is my site. I am looking for sources to verify what I have as most was provided verbally by my mother decades ago.
