Hi there, I'm searching for the father of Jacob Miller:

Jacob was Brn:abt: 1810 in Wexford Ireland.
Married a Sarah Rynhart abt: 1824 in Enniscorthy Ireland.
 appreciate and feed back

You usually need a more detailed location, i.e. the town, townland parish, to start a search for records before the start of civil records, particularly one as early as Henry's baptism. You also need to know the denomination of your Miller and Rynhart families...

Few parishes, particularly in rural areas, have records back as far as 1810.

        My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?

....
birth cert Of Matthew Miller.....
Brn:28/03/1858 Illawong NSW Australia,Died abt:1917
Father:Jacob Miller
Brn:1810 Wexford Ireland & was a grazier / age: 48
married: 1842 in Enniscorthy
mother:Sarah formally Rynhart / age:34
Brn:abt 1824 in Enniscorthy / Died: 1892
....

you didn't mention the denomination for your Rynhart or Miller familes... if they were RC then the main parish for the town of Enniscorthy is St. Mary's and records go back to the late 1790s. The Church of Ireland records for Enniscorthy town also appear to back to the 1790s.

Neither of these are online on RootsIreland (pay-website) at the moment, but presumably will be added at some stage.

You need a more detailed location for your Miller family to start a search for them... County Wexford has about 50 parishes (assuming RC), and many dont have records back before 1830...

Thanks again Shane,i don't know the denomination of the family..but the family member who sent me the birth cert of matthew miller,has sent me a doc of MARRIED FEMALE IMMIGRANT : Sarah miller/ rynehart.A native of : Inniscorthy,daughter of john & mary Rynehart a farmer. Calling:Dairy woman;age 19,I know this probably does:nt help, I'll get back to the family member and ask her if she knows. cheers

There are some Rynehart entries on Griffith's valuation in Co. Wexford, including one for a John Rynehart in Templeshannon Civil parish, which is part of Enniscorthy town. This John is listed with about 5 acres of land in Drumgold townland .. so possibly a farmer... His residence must be located somewhere else, as there doesn't seem to be a house listed for him on the property.

Griffith's was a land taxation survey carried out between the mid 1840s and about 1864.

This entry is dated 1853, so could possibly be little late for Sarah's father, but possibly a relation - maybe her brother ?

see : Rynehart, Wexford
