Castle Hill Street Wexford

The photo was taken in garden of The Faythe Guest House.  The swan is just in front of it.  The list of names which look like a print out.  The first one is Walsh.  My grandads family are at No 1 in the 1901 but I can't find them in 1911.  Where was the list posted by shorts taken from.

Hi Rattler

The names appear in the 31st October 1936 edition of the Wexford People & is a list of rate payers assenting to a proposal concerning the water supply. The post is a small section of the article.

The Walsh you refer to in my post is a W Walsh in the Faythe, the Faythe being the street listed above Kevin Barry St.

I have decided to transcribe all the names in the article by surname but there must be almost 2,000 (there's over 130 in the Faythe alone!) and it will take a few weeks to finish. I've completed about 8 streets so far and the Walsh's noted to date are:

Walsh   E   Main St
Walsh   J   Main St
Walsh   Nellie   Main St
Walsh   P. J   Main St
Walsh   R   Main St

I'll post a complete set of Walsh's for you in due course.

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve.  I have spent so long trying to find grandads family that I am grabbing at straws.  There are so many Walshs in Wexford. 
Carol.  All I know of my gt.grandmother was that she was 40 in 1901 census and her maiden name was Furlong.

Hi Shorts and Rattler

The inscription does indeed look very like it could be my Furlongs, this is very exciting, will take a look at the other thread now. I have today found a a birth on LDS for a Michael Furlong, parents names are Edward Rossiter and Mary Furlong born 15 June 1869.  Thanks so much Shorts.

Rattler, do you know your furlongs first name ?  I , confusingly enough have Furlongs on both my dads and moms side of the family both of them from Wexford, I have this lot in Enniscorthy and also Ladysisland.....the mind boggles.

I am at a loss with the Furlong side of my family.  Only found the name when I sent for garndads birth certificate.  According to the 1901 census his father was John, he had brothers William, James and Francis.  My sister feels there might have been a Thomas.  My grandparents only had twin girls Mary and Margaret so I have no boys names passed on.  His brother James had 2 girls also so no help there.

the family are

Patrick Furlong coachdriver born 1864
Mary Furlong 1866
Patrick Furlong 1894
Mary Furlong 1896
Christina Furlong 1895
Maggie  Furlong 1899
John Furlong 1900
Mark Furlong 1903
Charles Furlong 1905

My grandmother Annastacia Furlong was at this time in Dublin, her sister Molly was not living at home at the time of the 1911 census.  Havn't found them on the 1901, but will look when I go to Wexford in July.

Hi Carol

Below is a copy (in 2 parts) of an entry in the Bride St Church Bapt register for 'Mark Furlong' - dob 20 March 1902

Hello Shorts 

Thank you so much for that , its definitely mine, and the first document I have ever seen of my Dads family, thank you very much. Also I now have another Furlong name to look at ....Richard Furlong, what do you think Ellens surname reads...looks like Goodwin ?

This is brilliant ...thankyou

Hi Carol

The Sponsor's surname is almost certainly Goodwin supported by the fact there was an Ellen Goodwin living next door to the Furlong family in the 1901 census - see http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001302818/

Richard is not necessarily a family member but may well be. There were only 3 Richard Furlong's living in Wexford Town in the 1901 census and assuming their eldest son (16 in 1902) wasn't the Sponsor then this is the most likely person http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001300949/

Hi Steve

Thanks for the links think the Richard you found is most likely the witness, which could help me in the search for Patricks family. I hadnt noticed the Goodwins next door, wondering if she was a family member ? I now have some new stuff to look at, and also the name of a church !  Thank you so much, its very appreciated .
