Yes the same!
Found this piece about 2 to 3 years ago. Are you another cousin?

Thank you for the verification!
Yes that is her, Winifred Finn.
Now the question is did they have children?
Might there still be some Giles in Gorey related to me?
Michael would have been my Great Uncle?

Thanks for the info on John Giles. Could be my gg uncle but have no record of him back in Ireland in 47, but then again....

Hi Lochgarman,
Here is what I know. I know that my great grandfather Henry was born in Gorey. Here is a list of all of the siblings in birth order.
Mathew b. 1861,
 John b. Nov. 11 1864 who travels to Brockton Mass in 1895. His address is 225 Grafton St, Brockton, MA  and returns again from Ireland in 1912, Thomas b.  May6 ,1867 goes to New York with Henry in 1892, 1897 as a US citizen,
Henry b. Nov 1, 1869,
Mary   b. Jan.6,1872  ,
Michael b. Dec. 14, 1873
William Giles  b. Sep, 26,1875 , William arrives in the US on August 25 1897 with $90.00 in his pocket. He is going to 175 Myrtle Street Brockton MA
  All were born in Gorey, Wexford, Ireland

 Henry and Thomas came to the USA 1892 on board the ship "State of Nebraska" they list their last residence as Dublin.
 Later  Henry and  wife Margaret are crossing in August of 1897 on board the Majestic arriving at Ellis Island with four young children; William 6y6m, John 4y4m, Eliza 2y2m ( my grandmother) and Julia as an infant. They later settle in Brockton Massachusetts. Margaret lists her last residence as Cowedford.
Rumor says that Margaret's maiden name was Whitty.
Let me know if any of this helps. Thanks

Hi Nick,
You know your local history. Maybe you might have some information on my family?
I've tracked down my family GILES to Ballyrahan Kilnahue, Gorey, CO Wexford listed 1911 census. My Great Great Grandfather William ( b 1832), wife Elizabeth ( Barnett) ( b. 1834)and son Michael (b Dec 14,1873) are living on the farm. All indications are that all their children were born in Gorey and that they were born in Ireland, but sadly no town names are listed. They were Roman Catholic and beyond that I have no other information.
My Great Grandfather Henry ( b. Nov 1 1869) was living in Massachusetts by that time as he arrived in the USA in 1892 in New York with his brother Thomas aboard the "State of Nebraska" on September 29, 1892, arriving at Ellis Island.
Other children had moved to the USA as well over the years. The other siblings I have found are Matthew (b . 1861), John (b. Nov 11, 1864), Thomas (b. May 6, 1867) and Mary (b. Jan 6,1872).
I have found records of all of the brothers coming to Brockton MA to visit or live as well as records of family trips to Gorey to visit the summer of 1897. When Henry ( Hy) came to visit that summer his wife Margaret ( Whitty?)and children William, John, Elizabeth and Julia were with him. Henry and Margaret were married by 1891 as William was born in 1892.
I have hit a dead end. Have you any information about the Giles' who had a farm, dairy from the census I am pretty sure.
My cousin is visiting Gorey this summer and will be hunting down  the old family homestead if possible.
 Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
