Calendar entry for Jacob Hess, who died in 1909, coachman. Only will calendar entry I found anywhere in Ireland for Hess.
http://www.willcalendars.nationalarchives.ie/reels/cwa/005014916/005014916_00140.pdf

Ellen Hess (widow of Jacob Hess) died in 1930 aged 93 yrs at Rathdowney, Rosslare. Her son John Hess was the informant.

Thanks for finding that - had completely forgotten!
Note that the three Christian names mentioned there for Hess family members from Old Ross recur in the Wexford family - namely John, Jacob and William.
Given the rarity of the surname, seems likely that John Hess senior was originally from Old Ross. The time scales also fit.

Some checks on Old Ross:
- No one of that surname there in 1826 tythe survey
- Guidebooks say CofI parish records for Old Ross lost, but also to see New Ross, where records are extant from 1760s.

Marriage of Jane Hess, daughter of John, 1852.

Although this was a CofI marriage, a daughter, Elizabeth Nicholson was baptized Catholic in Wexford on 26/2/1855

The family seemed to play all angles!

Since Monday I have come across the following information from Anc... and Family Search It would appear that John Hess and Judith Cullen had 6 children?? might be more.

A john Hess died age 76 in 1870 birth c 1794 is this the :

Joannem Hess Father Joannis Hess who married Brigida Bagley July 1813 Cahir County Tipperary which would tie in nicely with John Hess above born c 1815 what does everyone think //
thanks Margie
