Thank you, Rathmore, I will do as you suggest. The evidence suggests that he worked as a rent collector for the Carysfort Estate.

Wicklow / Re: Evans of Arklow
« on: Wednesday 26 March 14 19:39 GMT (UK) »
Thanks for your suggestion, Our Gang, but the Edward Evans families on your link to FamilySearch are unrelated to the Evans family of Arklow, Co. Wicklow. I already have quite a lot of information about Edward's descendants and extended family but I am stumped in my attempts to explore his details. There are Evans families in Greystones, Delgany and Wicklow town but these are not directly related to the Arklow lot. They are a Church of Ireland family but the parish records were destroyed in the explosion and fire in the Four Courts, Dublin in 1922.

Wicklow / Evans of Arklow
« on: Wednesday 26 March 14 18:32 GMT (UK) »
I am researching the family line of Edward Evans (1801-1852)a rent and rates collector of Main Street, Arklow. The information that I have about his birth and death dates is by word of mouth but I have been unable to find evidence to confirm it. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Dublin / Re: Sweny of Dublin

Regarding Kenneth Cooke's comment about the inscription on Rev Eugene Sweny's headstone being difficult to read, the following is the actual inscription:
''In loving memory of the Rev. Eugene Sweny for 23 years Rector of this parish [St John the Baptist] and Morston who departed this life on May 18th 1906 aged 69'.
There is no mention of his wife, Elizabeth (Ovens).

First of all, I would like to congratulate all contributors to this really excellent forum. It is a credit to all of you. My connection to the Sweny family is through my great grandmother, Amelia Sarah Sweny (1852-1928) who married Edward Nicholson Harding (1847-1938).
I did not think that I would have anything of interest to add to the discussion, but I may have! In an earlier post Kenneth Cooke discussed the Rev. Eugene Sweny. It is known that he was rector of a parish in Norfolk for the last 23 years of his life. What may be of interest is that a photo of his headstone in the graveyard of his parish of St John the Baptist is available online. It can be accessed at http://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/gravephoto.php?grave=222803&requestee=30454&scrwidth=1300.

Wicklow / Re: evans family
« on: Thursday 13 March 14 16:28 GMT (UK) »
I have been reading this chat in the hope that someone may be researching the Evans family of Arklow. The direct family line in which I am particularly interested includes Edward Evans (1801-1852), John Fairbrother Evans (1837-1915), John Fairbrother Evans (1876-1937). There appears to be no connection with Evans in Greystones/Delgany/Wicklow. Is there anyone out there who shares this interest?
