Carol,
Good to have contact. I look forward to interesting news especially arising from DNA matches. I had mine taken recently (on MyHeritage) and it has brought up a few interesting links, but mostly needing further work.

A bit out of date perhaps, but....Shorts, looking back on a message of yours of 28th Oct 2012, you mentioned a Charles Furlong of Talbot Street as father to Anastatia born 1887. I had initially thought this was my Grandmother who appears with her parents and siblings in Talbot Street in 1901 and in Bogganstown in 1911. They eventually moved to within 2 doors of the Castlehill Furlongs in the late 1910s. However, I just noticed that the ages are way out. My Anastatia was certainly not born 1887. So I'm assuming that the 1887 Anastatia died young. Given that the Castlehill and Talbot Furlongs are somehow related (according to my mother) it seems as if Anastasia was a much favoured and repeated name. My Grandmother Anastatia died in 1922, a year after my mothers birth.

Glad to be able to make some connections. My mother is 92, but is good at remembering little details, albeit with a fair degree of uncertainty about how sure she is. Usually at her best when just reminiscing. She lived at Swan View until after I was born - in 1949 - when we moved to Waterford, and later to Dublin. I visited Swan View very regularly up to the 1970s. While my mother is in Dublin, there is one aunt still living on the Faythe, as well as many other relatives scattered around the rest of Wexford Town.

Cog,
I'm not sure if this thread is still alive, but however....
I'm pretty sure I can specify the Furlong house on Castlehill Street. My mother lived on the Faythe at Swan View and she is sure that the Furlong house was actually at the top of the hill and could be mistaken for being on the Faythe. If you look on Google Earth and use the Street View option you can see it.
My mothers mother was a Furlong, and my mother's Grandfather was Charles Furlong. They lived in Talbot Street in 1901, in Bogganstown in 1911, and were living on Swan View by the time my mother was born in 1921. My mother remembers Molly and Christine Furlong calling by and referring to her grandfather as Uncle Charlie. My mother was not 100% sure, but believed that Charles was related to Mary not Partick Furlong (Mary's maiden name was also Furlong). My mother and her siblings referred to Mary Furlong as Aunt Mary. My mother's side of the family continued to live on Swan View until the 1970s. Their family name was Kehoe.
I'd be glad to let you have any further info.....assuming this message link is still working!
