Wexford / Re: Wexford Town - connections & tales

Hi Nick
I am searching for information about my gggrandfather James Furlong. I believe he was born in 1819 in Wexford and married Mary Nance. His father was also James and mother was Bridget Kease. I do not know anything about his father. James and Mary had several children including Henry Francis Furlong (born in 1848). Henry Francis Furlong immigrated to the US (Iowa) in 1866 and both his father and mother appeared to have died in the fall of 1864 in Wexford. I am trying to find out more about James I think he was a blacksmith or an iron monger in Wexford Town in 1855 to 1864 time frame. I have some information about living on Williams Street or working on Gibson Street. James children were born in Clogher in County Louth not sure why the family moved there. Anything you might know about this time period and James and Mary would be helpful.
thanks Walter
