Good morning.. Just catching up.. Wonderful news Wexflyer.. I'll check out thst date for the first marriage..
It does tally with the date he gave when requesting his mate cert to be reissued.. I can Confirm he did indeed live at the High-hill in New ross and first married to Margaret Whitty... Who lived basicly on John Street New Ross.. At bottom of the high hill and our home place. He was away at sea for at least two of the births of his children duri g this time.
His second wife was in early 20s while he must have by in 60's.. By the time of the 1901 census, James was in Liverpool toxeth..MARGARET was married in new ross to Edward Whitty and living on the bullawn.. Again not too far from the high hill.
Bridget was working as a domestic. Not quite sure whether here or in the UK. She never married and died back in Irelandim the Midlands.. The question of where George evitt came from is still uncertain.. Given he stated he was born in New Ross.. But as I have his dad's name and occupation I ll have a root in time for him.. I wouid like to thank all who have given up some of their time to help..really appreciate this help as it helps to complete the search on the evitt side for now..
