Wexford / Help Rynharts
« on: Thursday 26 August 10 14:55 BST (UK)  »
Me again  ;D

The Rynharts are/were Church of Ireland.

My Grandfather Henry (Harry) married my grandmother Ellen (Nellie) Nowlan.

My grandfathers name was Thomas and he had two sisters called Florence and Matilda (who died in infancy).

Thomas walked out on my grandfather when he was 4 and moved to Canada.  He turned about 50 years later with no money looking for somewhere to live.

My Grandfather discovered a half brother James from New Ross - Thomas had been married previously and had walked on that family too.

I am trying to find my Grandfather mothers name.  Henry was born in 1919.  Thomas married his mother in 1918 in Gorey. The previous marriage was in 1914 in New Ross and that ladies name was M. Grothier

Wexford / Murphys, wexford

Hi

I wonder can anyone help with this.

I have James Murphy on the 1854 Griffith Report living in Corragh, Moyacomb.

The Murphy Family were living here until 1906 for definate.

On the 1911 Cenus they had moved to 6 Corragh, Moyacomb but their youngest daughter Johanna (who went on to become a Nun Sr. Padraigh) was born in Ballinstraw in 1909.  I am assuming they were living with faimily in Ballinstraw.

Can i find out if they were kicked off the land or what happened?

Wexford / Help Nowlans

Hi  i have been lurking here for ages getting loads of help but i have come to a block with these families

Rath
Rynhart
Murphy
Nowlan

and was wondering if anyone can give me a bit of help or let me know if this the end of the line  :'(

Nowlan
Michael Nowlan is my G-G-Grandfather.  I have a photo of his gravestone.  he died in 1924 and was 95 at the time, so he was born in and around 1833.  He married a lady called Anne who died  in 1921, was 76 so she was born around 1845.

On the cenus, it states they were both born in Wexford and they were married for 38 years, so were married around 1873 - i am trying to find out what Anne's maiden name is.

I cant find a marriage record for them - now this is the big problem, they were living in Abbeydown, Clonegal, County Wexford but the otherside the Murphys were also living in Clonegal, County Wicklow and i have found some of the Murphy Children baptismal records as Clonegal County Carlow. 

Michael and Anne had one Son Patrick who married Mary Anne Murphy.  I know this marriage was arranged and was all about the land.
