Hi,
Can anyone offer any help please.
I'm looking for a baptism record for Catherine Leary b1848/50 Ireland. Pretty certain her father's name was Patrick Leary mother was also called Catharine b1814 Ireland.
I have just looked at 1911 census living in Lancashire Catherine b1848 place of birth is given as Modlin Town Co Wexford Resident.
Does anyone know where this is or if Modlin Town still exists today :-\
Thanks
Ladyhawk :)

cant think of anywhere in Wexford that sounds like Modlin
these are few that could have been mis-heard
Monamolin, Gorey
Monaleehill
Monalee
Monfin, Enniscorthy
Mountfin

Is this the same entry that was posted to the Rootsweb Wexford Mailing List ? I believe a number of people who might be expected to know the area suggested Maudlin.

there's actually a place called 'Maudlintown' in Co. Wexford, it appears on Google maps - its very close to the town of Wellingtonbridge.

hello ladyhawk,found these marriages for wexford (index only) maybe one of these couples could be her parents,
PATRICK LEARY TO CATHERINE ROWE 1823.
PATRICK LEARY TO CATHERINE MILLER 1843.
PATRICK LEARY TO CATHERIN FLOOD 1846.
PATRICK LEARY TO CATHERINE NEILE 1849.
regards mary.

Thanks both for your quick reply and help.
Shane I think your right and it's Maudlintown Co. Wexford but has been heard/transcribed phonetically as Modlintown Co. Wexford on 1911 census.
Mary there's a strong possibility that one of the last three is correct as Catherine Leary b1850.
Thanks again, another step closer.

If you contact Rev. Jim Fegan Adm, Bride Street Church Wexford Town to see if he has an entry of your ancestors marriage in the church register. Bride Street is the Parish Church for Maudlintown in Wexford town.

Land is not disappearing at the rate that everyone seems to think it does. You need to be aware that there are more than two possibilities: i.e the two Maudlintowns previously mentioned, but also Maudlins Town.
Yours, etc.

Hi Ladyhawke
My wife's great great grandparents are Patrick & Catherine Leary, parents of Catherine (who marries William Scott Morland in 1875 in Liverpool). I have just found your posts - did you get any further please?
My tree is on Ancestry - Astbury - my wife is a Morland descendant of William Scott and Catherine!
Best Regards
John Astbury
