I have a question on irish immigrants to the Trevethin Monmouthshire area of Wales.
Should I start a new topic to ask a question?
Thanks   Jan (tinka)

I don't mind if you place your question here, but you may get more feedback for the Monmouthshire region if you post a new thread within the Monmouthshire board.

Kind Regards Jen

I posted on the monmouthshire page and SUCCESS (many thanks to pritch19) I found my Irish ancestor's family in the 1861 census.  Thank you for the advice, I have found this link very interesting to read. Keep up the good work. Jan

Hello Jen,
Would you be able to give me any advice on the following?
My Catholic g.g.grandfather, John FORD, was born in the Kinsale area of Co. Cork. I discoverd him on  the 1861 census for Stroud, Glos: living with his wife Mary, who was born in Queenstown, Co. Cork, and their daughter,   Mary Anne, b. 1857 in Newport, Wales.
Would this birth be recorded in Newport? If so, where? So far I have been unable to trace any evidence on her birth. or Christening.
Mary, John's wife, died in Stroud in late 1861 and John remarried in 1862 at the Catholic Church in Stroud. It was from this record that I found out that he was a Catholic. However, the Priest at the church was unable to give me anymore information on what I had.
I would be grateful for any help you maybe able to give me.
Regards,
Jane Joy.

My Grandfather CharlesP Burns was born in Merthyl @1858 to Irish immigrants Patrick and Abigail( Moriarty) Burns.Patrick worked in the iron works, I believe. The family left Wales @1860 and returned to Ireland and had more children there..They would have baptised the baby Charles in a Catholic Church in Wales.. I have tried in Vain to find a birth record. Tonight , I just figured out the Myrth spelling in his Rhode Island obit was spelled wrong and it was probably supposed to be Merthyl. Can you lead me to a birth /Baptismal record? It has been a long journey and I hope to find more clues to figure out his place of birth. Thank you .

Hi , my family the Mcintee settled in Swansea, greenhill, greenrow.They were Roman Catholics.  We however are stuck about any information before 1885 on the head John Mcintee. He was bn 1864 , this according to death , marriage and censuses. His father was also John. John bn 1864 married mary owens in 1885 and on the marriage certificate says his father was now deceased. It also said john lived at old road, no one has ever heard of it. My uncle who has now passed said he thought they came from Mayo Ireland but don t know why he thought this . We cannot find any births for him ot where he was between 1864 to 1885. Some of the family changed surnames to Murray later on , again no idea why. Hope you can help we been going in circles for years .Dee John was a dock labourer.
