Wexford / Re: O"Neill of Whitechurch

Additional news regarding the children of James and Sarah O Neill - apparently there were 12 children in total of whom only 6 survived - apparently there was a bad fire either at the forge or the house -( not know) and as the story goes, some of the children - must be the elder children died - but have found nothing concrete to back this up and not sure if all died or just some!!.
James and Sarah are both buried in Priesthaggard graveyard near Kilmokea House not far from Whitechurch.
On the 1901 census returns - as well as James(jr) and Sarah - also listed on the return is James Snr O Neill and his wife Catherine - he is listed as a gardener and born in Co Wexford.
Did they leave Ireland to go to Liverpool , where James Jr ( 1851) was born and then return to Whitechurch - the mystery deepens.

Hello Davida , my name is Yvonne, I am a granddaughter of James O Neill - Patricks son.
I hear you are coming to Waterford on Saturday to meet with my dad, hopefully I will get to meet you then, this whole thing has sparked my curiosity - have been showing Dad the 1901/1911 census returns trying to make sense of it all.
Looking forward to seeing what you have un-earthed - should be interesting.

HI Lynda, my name is Yvonne ( O Neill maiden name), my great grandfather Patrick was your grandfathers brother. 
Patrick left Whitechurch and settled in Waterford, according to my father (James Leonard) he worked on a local estate - Waterford Castle as a coachman, there are many cousins still living in the Waterford city area .
My father has been recently contacted by a relative in dublin, who is coming to see Dad on Saturday and hopefully we may be able to figure out some of the gaps.
As children I can remember Dad talking about some of the family who went to Canada /Usa, so I take it your on this side somewhere- I have only taken an interest very recently in the history - so it may take some time to figure out who's who. Bear with us, hopefully the weekend will be interesting.
