Wexford / Re: Wexford Cemeteries for ancestors who died in Wexford town
« on: Tuesday 12 August 25 20:55 BST (UK)  »
You may also find a record of their gravestone inscriptions if they has a headstone in the late Brian Cantwells Memorials of the Dead.  He visited all the  Wexford Town cemeteries and recorded gravestone inscriptions. This book is available in Wexford Library or you can borrow it through inter library loan via your own local library.  Brian Cantwell visited several Irish Counties to record their tombstones in the 1980's.

Hi Lady K.

My4th Greatgrandfather was James Mc Laughlin, of Ballycarton, Limavady.  His daughter Sarah Jane married James Cummings(  Presbyterian, a neighbour ) also of Ballycarton, Limavady about 1838-1840. James Mc Laughlin was Catholic thats all the information that I have been able to find on him.

Wexford / Re: New member researching Joseph/William Frizell Old Ross 1709 Palatines
« on: Wednesday 19 March 25 21:49 GMT (UK)  »
Bernard Brown has written extensively about the Palatine settlement in his book Old Ross The Town That Never Was.  It is out of print now but available in Wexford County Library , Mallin Street , Wexford. It can also be obtained through interlibrary loan.  The post of Rector for New Ross Union is vacant at the moment.  But the New Ross Union of Parishes consists of New Ross, Old Ross, Kilesk , Whitechurch, Fethard on Sea. The Church of Ireland Parish registers nationwide  are currently being digitised in collaberation between the Irish Government and the RCB Library, Rathfarnham , Dublin 14 they are expected to be online within the next year or so.  However the RCB Library holds all the parish registers so if you contact them they should be able to help you.  The Church of Ireland website will have the contact details for the RCB Library.

Wexford / Re: Wexford Town Schools

Most National Schools retain their records. for Fishers row and the Folly you can try The Faythe National School which is run by the St John of God Order. The Faythe School tookboth Boys& girls. Boys  up to the age of 7 then they proceeded to the CBS Primary School Bride Street Wexford run by the Christian Brothers. Girls remained in the Faythe until they reached 12 Years of age.

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Cummings Of Ballycarton.

Gortanima believed that the Cummings family originally were from Tircrevan. There is an excellent book Called Magilligan Presbyterian Church available online from Lulu Publications and contains records from the Parish registers since its inception in 1813. The first baptism recorded there was a Tircrevan Cummings infant.

A relative who has done more research on the Cummings family discovered that Elizabeth Taylor was from Moville.

Thats very interesting Cummings Donaghy Miskimmings!

I do know from records of Magilligan Presbyterian Church where my Cummings family of Ballycarton attended the name was spelt McCummings at first then changed to Cummings. This would have been from 1813 when the Church was established. The  Cummings family originated in Tircrevan but then a branch moved to Ballycarton. My4x Gt Grandfather was George Cumming from Paisley, Scotland married to Elizabeth Taylor from Moville, early 1800's 3 children David, James, & Mary. They settled in Ballycarton. I am descended from James Cummings who married a Catholic Sarah Jane MC Laughlin. James remained Presbyterian did not convert but wife and children were RC.

Gortinamina noted also the Baptism entry for Magilligan RC Church, 25th September 1865, Elizabeth Cummings ,daughter of Samuel Cummings and Mary Ann Coyle of Ballyhendry .  He believed that they were related to my Ballycarton Cummings.  Is this Samuel Cummings one of your ancestors?

Wexford / Re: James Redmond, Baptized 1-May-1865 in Gorey?
« on: Friday 16 December 22 19:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Wexflyer,
You could try the Ballyoughter and Camolin Roman Catholic Parish registers.

My ancestors were from the Ballycanew area and some of the children were baptised in Ballyoughter RC church and others in Camolin.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: John Cummings emigrated to Nova Scotia from (possibly) Londonderry around ~1780

Hi Karen,

I have a lot of Cummings in my family tree. They were Presbyterian and originated from Paisley , Scotland.  So it is most likely than your Cummings ancestor was Presbyterian.

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Mary Cummings Limavady Workhouse.

Thank you so much for your replies.

I did contact Limavady Catholic church  to see if Mary Cummings was on their baptismal registers but sorry to say she is not.  I will try the other churches in Limavady and surrounding areas and see if I have any luck. My Cummings ancestors were Presbyterian and attended Magilligan Presbyterian Church.  My third Great Grandfather married a catholic lady,however he remained a Presbyterian according to Magilligan Presbyterian church census of the congregation (1855) but his wife and family were RC according to that census and not named. However, I have her name and all the children ones. However, timeline wise this Mary Cummings is not from that particular branch.

The mystery goes on ......

Summerhill.
