He went on to marry my Grandmother Mary Atkinson in Dublin at Our Immaculate Lady Refuge in Rathmines No.1 Dublin on 24.7.1930 I have no other information about him at all other than once married the family moved at some point to Clonmel Co Tipperary where he worked in the boot and shoe factory before the family left to settle in Leicester England.

1911 census for Wexford is available on the National Archives website at : http://census.nationalarchives.ie/
1901 data is due later this year.
You can order cert by post from the GRO www.groireland.ie
There is an Irish Civil index available on familysearch at : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable

found these two marriages (index only) could be possible marriages for his parents.
MOSES SOMERS TO ELIZABETH SULLIVAN 1892 WEXFORD.
MOSES SOMERS TO MARY ANNE WALSH 1901 WEXFORD.
regards mary.

Thanks so very much - How would I now check if these are his parents? Very new to this....Maria

I think the best way to move forward is to get the birth cert for James Somers. Have a search for him on the civil index link posted earlier, and order a cert (or a few possible certs...) from the GRO. Once you have his mothers maiden name from the cert you can start to search for the correct marriage .

Hi just to say my Grandfather is the joseph in the William st, address mentioned in a previous post, I can go back to my Gr Gr Grandfather in New Ross. James was a common name it is also mine

HI,
Just thought I would let you know that you can rule out the marriage of MOSES SOMERS TO ELIZABETH SULLIVAN 1892 WEXFORD, mentioned above.
This 1892 marriage is that of my great grandparents who lived and died in the Enniscorthy area. There is no known connection to New Ross.
Hope this is a little bit helpful.

Hi,
I googled the name Catherine Flyng who is the supposed mother of CR Wheeler and it came up with the reference Somers-New Ross. Obviously I'd better start again I think.
Thanks

No need to start a new thread- I've just moved your posts over to Beginners board (new title- Charles Wheeler) in case someone can help with details of school in Portugal, etc.

Many thanks for your help.
