Looking for contact with descendants of Stephen GILBERT & wife, Ann Jane [m-n-u], who were married before 1814, & resided in Inch by Gorey. Son, Stephen was christened 14 Feb 1814, & dau., Sarah was christened 20 Mar 1816, both in Inch by Gorey.
Other Inch by Gorey inhabitants: Thomas Nowlan married Sarah Gilbert, 22 Mar 1834. A young James Nowlan, son of Thomas & Sarah Nowlan, was christened on 22 Mar 1840.
My paternal G G/Fa, James F. Nowlan, emigrated from Co Wexford, sometime during the 1840s, & settled in Richmond, Henrico Co, VA, USA. There, he met & married (1862) young Irish lass Margaret Ann Redmond, & they raised their family in the Richmond area. James was a Stone Mason by trade, as were sons.
I am attempting to locate info to affirm that these are in my family line, from Inch by Gorey. Anyone with the Gilberts &/or Nowlans in their "tree", or having info regarding the relationships of the above members, please, contact me & we can share information.
Surnames: Gilbert-Nowlan-Redmond-Cullen-Ryall...all from Co Wexford. Thanks, & "happy hunting", Bob Edmondson

Sorry, but James F. Nowlan, in my original posting was my "maternal" G G/Fa. HokeyBob

Hi Hokey,
I have Nolan's in my tree from Gorey. My Grandfather was Nolan, maybe Nowlans changed to Nolan at some point, i'm not sure. My G/father was Thomas Nolan born c1909, his father I believe was Patrick Nolan, then I hit a brick wall, there is a place called Ferns in Gorey where I believe the Nolan's are known.
It's probably a shot in the dark but you never know. If i can be of any use just let me know o.k.
Regards
Julie
