Caroline There were McDonalds in the Shannon area of Enniscorthy co. Wexford.   Try www.A2A go to global sarch. Type in McDonald Wexford or Enniscorthy        or any pther place in Co Wexford and if Mcdonalds were in the British army ( going back to the early 1800s it will give you aclue which areas of co Wexford they lied in Regards Peter

Hello Peter,

Yes, my EDMONDS Ancestors did come from Wexford.

I would like to find out more information.

Richard Henry EDMONDS b 1790-1800
married
Catherine FURLONG b April 1793 Wexford

Son [1 of 5 sons?]
George Gilbert EDMONDS
b1825-1833 Wexford

George Gilbert EDMONDS  was my GGrandfather and died 100 years' ago December 2006.  He is buried just 15km from where I live in Brisbane.

But, where were his roots?


Any snippet of information will assist and will be greatly appreciated.
