« on: Thursday 22 March 12 00:37 GMT (UK)  »
I just went through all of my emails and found this ...

And this item associated with the book#...9781151021939 History of the Irish Insurrection of 1798

Hope this helps. I am bummed that I will be in Ireland on the 28th of April and will miss seeing him talk. I'll have to see if they have any info on how to contact him. Trina

Just read your other post. You are a jewel! I have read up on quite a few of the Wexford Colclough's and have never been able to find a link, but plan to do a lot of exploring while I'm there. Any ideas why they would hyphenate a name? I had heard once that sometimes a suitor would be required by the father in law to take on the family name as a requisite to marriage. Is this true?

Thanks so much for your information. I know the Colclough's were a very powerful family in Wexford, although I don't know if they are really related or not since the name is a hyphenated name. Is it a Turner? Is it a Colclough?...who knows. I plan to do an in depth search through the Dublin Library and in Wexford but I know the best information is usually word of mouth and tales from those who have lived in the area for generations. Don't even know if any of the Gowan's are even still around or, for that matter, any of the possibly related Colclough's. These people would have the family history practically committed to memory and I really would like to reconnect with them. So I'm fairly lost as to where to start, as you see....

Wexford / Journey to Wexford

Hi- I wondered if there was a good place to look for one of my ggg grandfather's records. My gggg grandfather was john hunter gowan and I have a rare opportunity to travel to Ireland at the end of April. I'll be there a whole month (and am very excited) to try and find out more about one Edward Haycock Colclough-Turner. I can find absolutely no record of him, but his daughter Francis Colclough-Turner married Ogle Robert Gowan my ggg grandfather and jhg's son. I have a huge amount of info on the gowans and all of their exploits, although I hope to visit Mt. Nebo (Mt St. Benedict) or contact family while I am there. the main person of mystery is this Edward Colclough-Turner to me. The hyphenated name completely flumoxes me and he's proving to be quite the ghost when it comes to information. If you know anyone that might be family, or knowledgable about this family I'd love to meet with them while I'm there. Any information or meeting with people who know OF these people would be my greatest pleasure. Please let me know if you have a source in Wexford, or Gorey or that area that I might sit down with over a beer or tea and just talk with. Thanks so much you guys.
