There is a brass plate in St Aidan’s Cathedral, Enniscorthy inscribed:
‘In memory of Rev W.B.Quin, C.S.Sp. who died Feb 2nd 1890’. A second brass plate gives details of John Quinn died Jan 18th 1882 and of Sarah his wife who died October 24th 1880. The baptismal register of St Aidan’s lists the baptism of a William to John Quinn and Sally Askins on 21/1/1858. Marriage register shows them married on Feb 12th 1850. I have come across another plate which says he was ordained on October 18th 1883.
I am unable to find William’s death in Irish records so he may have died overseas. He is not mentioned in Fr Gahan’s book the Secular Priests of the Diocese of Ferns.
I am searching for details of where William was ordained, where he died and where he is buried.
Thanks

Hardly surprising, as he was not a secular priest of the Diocese of Ferns.
I would think the obvious thing to do would be to contact the Holy Ghost Fathers directly?

Thanks to Aghadowey, Dathai and Wexford Flyer for information and advice. Found information I needed on Irish Spiritan's (Holy Ghost) website. I hadn't come across site before now. :)

Hi Culbaire, Im very interested in the Quinn/Askins family in Enniscorthy. My Quinns start with my Grandmother Mary Eliza Quinn and go back to the marriage of James Quinn and his wife Bridget Redmond (Bridgets parents James Redmond and Kitty Kavanagh in 1811 in Enniscorthy).
I did collect all of the names of the children of Sally/Sarah and John Quinn - from memory about 11 of them which included 4 sets of twins. I did indeed feel for that poor lady.
Im hoping they will connect up with my Quinn family but I have been overwhelmed with DNA matches and messages that keeps me from progressing this couple to see-if there is a connection between. I still have cousins living Enniscorthy and they have been amazed that they are connected on one strand that they didnt know about and in fact my cousin sat next to a Quinn in school and didnt realise they were related until I told her about my research. We only met 2 years ago online by a twist of fate but were off and running as soon as we met. Heres hoping. I only found out this morning that site wasnt closed by the founder as i thought many years ago😍

Hi Clemmie
My interest in the Quinn family was simply a plaque found during a clean up which mentioned that Rev William B Quinn was “ordained in this church”. I was trying to ascertain the particular church. I have no connection with the Quinn family. Culbaire
