Title: Patrick Clampett sailor from The Faythe
Post by: dakota1978x on Tuesday 04 November 14 18:19 GMT (UK)
I am helping my husband with his family tree and we have traced his great great grandparents to Wexford. Their names were Patrick and Johanna Clampett (nee James) and they were both born in 1866. Patrick was a sailor and we found he sailed on ships called Annie, Tempest and Oliviana. I was wondering if anyone on here has ever heard of them or could tell us anything more about them. We would love to visit Wexford one day and find out more about them  :)

Hi There

So, this is obviously Patrick & Johannah in 1901 !

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wexford/Wexford_Urban_No__2/The_Faythe/1807755/

Johanna's father is obviously living with them, so you already have his name !

Have you Patrick's father's name ?

Do you have the marriage of Patrick & Johanna ?

What other info do you have ?

The only Clampett family that I can find in Wexford were John Clampett and Ellen Rossiter.

Given that I can't see a Patrick born to this couple it's possible that his birth was slightly early than the 1866 that he states.

It's very possible that it was prior to 1864 when our civil registration began.

Thanks for the replies everyone . You have been very helpful  :) We found some of Patricks navy documents at the National Archives and have discovered that his parents are indeed John and Ellen. We also found a listing for a John Clampett being born about 1840 to Catherine Dwire and Thomas Clampett.  As for Patrick's wife Johanna all we know is that her father is Thomas James and her mother is Kate Rielly.  We learned that Patrick died in 1930 and Johanna in 1932 and were wondering what the closest cemeteries would be to the Faythe as we would love to visit their graves . I contacted the Wexford Archives but haven't had any joy yet. We are only learning how to do our family tree but finding it very interesting as we knew practically nothing to begin with .

Hi There

So, do you have their death certs ?

Were they still living on Faythe Street in 1930 / 1932.

As far as we are aware they lived in the Faythe until they died but we really don't know much about them and there's no one left we can ask. Their son Thomas moved over to Port Glasgow and we have the tree sorted from there thanks to Scotlands People . We also managed to find out a bit more about Catherine Dwire/Clampett and she seems to have struggled during the famine being in and out of jail with her son John for stealing food.

The other branch of Clampett's are still in Wexford.

Just googling shows you this.

This site isn't for finding living relatives BUT If I were you I would try reaching out to those on the likes of FB to see can they help you.

It's always worth a try  ;D

I asked in Wexfords people on Facebook regarding them and although they know of the name Clampett they don't know them directly . Also sent a couple of PMS to people by that name in the area but haven't had any joy . We are taking our daughter down to Dublin for a concert in March is there anythng that could help us at the library there?

Do you mean the National Library ?

I've never actually used it so I'm not sure of the range of material that they hold but I'm sure a quick google would help.

I was told by someone though that you need to have a lot of your background work done before going there.

You need the reference numbers etc for what you are looking for as otherwise you can loose a lot of time. Also you need to double check that they will actually have the items that you are looking for as seemingly stuff can be loaned out to other institutions etc.

Yes the National Library .We'll probably leave it then as we are only there for a couple of days. We just found Patrick on the 1891 census in Wales. He was listed as crew on a boat called Annie :)

Enjoy doing your tree !

Sure there's 5 months 'til you are in Dublin.

Lots of time to research and put a plan in place  ;D

Really enjoy it so far. We are also researching the Fraser's in Scotland and have found Scotland's People to be invaluable. Wish there was a site like that for Ireland.It'd be a lot easier :)

OOOHHHH

My Great Great Grandmother was a Scottish Fraser  :o

Ireland DO have a similar site to Scotlands People ~

Our version is called rootsireland

http://www.rootsireland.ie/

It's €25 for a months subscription.

For that you can view 1000 church TRANSCRIPTIONS.

A bit expensive if you only have one record to look up but a bargain if you have LOTS  ;D

 I remember a Mrs Clampitt who lived in the Faythe. i think she was the widow of a sailor. This would be in the 1950s. I will try to make some inquiries locally and pass on any info to you.

That would be absolutely great if you could Shellback . Patrick Clampett's wife Johanna died in 1932 but I know that he had a brother who live nearby. His brother was Thomas and I think he is the one mentioned in the Petty sessions in 1917.
We are still at a bit of a dead end with them but hope to find out more when we visit Wexford in the future.

Yeah Dathai that Thomas Clampett is my husbands great granddad. He moved over to Port Glasgow about 1912 and stayed in Scotland until he died in 1950 in Fife.
