Does anyone have any information regarding the family of Matthew Devereux born about 1823 in Wexford.
His Father was John Devereux and mother Bridget ( nee Walsh)

Does anyone have any lists of devereux births in Wexford around this time ??

I would also be interested to hear of Devereux marriages as a couple who emigrated to Canada around 1840, named a son Devereux.
Parents were Robert McMinn and Isabella Scott.
Thank you.

Thank you for your help.
Idont think this is the man as Matthew left for Australia well before this date but thanks again for looking.

My thanks also.
I, too, was hoping for something earlier but this at least points to areas to explore for further information which is helpful. Thank you again.

Is it Wexford Town or Wexford County?

Hi Erin
Dont know if this helps, your post was so long back you might have already got further with your research. I am also researching in Wexford, and went to a graveyard in September 2008 and luckily found what I was looking for. While there I found nearby the graves I found families of Devereux, I was interested in the name because of a connection to my grandmother. There was also (I noticed on the names on your profile) a large number of Butler families buried there. The graveyard was Ladysisland near Broadway Wexford. The Devereux family there were big landlords and quite affluent owning shops and houses in the town. Hope it helps after so much time. I do have a picture of a Deverex grave that was next to my relatives, if you want me to post it to you, send me your email addres via a pm on here and I will send it to you.

Hi Seanmac,
Does your information on Devereux's stretch as far as Ballaghkeen? I'm looking for a few in that area.

No luck with that one, but there are Devereux mentioned in 'Frampton Irish'
a blog that covers Wexford people abroad and mentions Patrick Devereux who married a Mary Cullen.

I picked up information about Matthew's family while researching our
English Devereux family who became hatters at Eton & Windsor in the 19thC - they have many descendants in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and India - but are not (directly) related to yours!
Matthew & Bridget went from Australia to New Zealand where he died in 1904 at Ahaura, Westland - Bridget died there a year later.
The first Devereux in Wexford was almost certainly a younger son of the Devereux of Herefordshire and the Welsh Marches, who went to Ireland in the 1100s.
Despite the myth that is endlessly repeated, there was no "invasion" by the Anglo-Normans. Dermot MacMurrough, King of Leinster, invited Sir Richard fitz Gilbert of Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke & Striguil (ie.Chepstow) South Wales, a famous warrior known as “Strongbow”. Dermot promised Strongbow grants of land as well as his daughter's hand in marriage, in exchange for his help. His daughter Eva’s marriage to Strongbow created the enormous Irish landholdings of the Clare family. See more about this in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography - www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/5447
For information about Matthew and Bridget Devereux I suggest you contact the New Zealand researcher of this family

Erin 21,
At the chapel in Glenbrien, parish of Oylegate, there are a number of Devereuxs. A John and a Bridget serve as sponsors for the baptism of Clynch/Glinch children. Other Devereuxs that sponsored other Glinch Children include, Catherine, Philip, and Mary. Unfortunately for you, John and Bridget are very common names. Michael Glinch marries Catherine Maguire. They show Cooladyne as their townland. They give birth to eight children between 1804 and 1820 at which time the parish records go blank for 12 years. John Devereux sponsors a Glinch child in 1820 and Bridget sponsors a Glinch child in 1811.
In correspondence dating to 1939 a Devereux tells of his family being related to the Clynch/Glinch family, particularly Fr. Thomas Clinch, one of the rebel priest leaders of 1798.
