STARTING YOUR RESEARCH
Before you start
your research try and collect as much information as possible from family
sources. However, do not be surprised if family legends do not turn out to be
true. Have an idea of what you would like to achieve. It should be possible to
trace your family to the early 1800s. Make a list of the surnames and
placenames and possible spelling variations. There is a lot of information
available and the unusual can make your researches easier. It is usually easier
to start in the present and search backwards.
Surnames
Certain surnames
and forenames are particular to Wexford and the south-east in general. Also the
pronunciation of some names is particular to Wexford. The spelling of surnames
has changed over time and has standardised in modern times. The older the
records, the greater the variation in spellings.
The following is a
list of Wexford surnames from the Griffiths Valuation of the 1860s: http://www.wexfordtown.ie/files/WT
Surnames 1860.htm
The following link
has some information on the distributions of surnames in the 1860s, the
variants of spelling and their history: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/index.cfm
The following link
gives a number of online references on Irish names: http://www.libraryireland.com/Names.php
The following link is to the comprehensive John O’Hart
“Irish Pedigrees or, The origin and stem of the Irish nation” (1892 edition):
Irish Pedigrees, Vol. II: http://www.archive.org/details/irishpedigreesor021892byuohar
[Note: The text
versions are faster to download, but may contain reading errors. The PDF
version is a searchable facsimile.]
Placenames
The smallest
‘administrative’ unit of the state is the townland, followed by the civil
parish, the barony and the county. Other administrative districts are the Poor
Law Union (PLU) and District Electoral Division (DED).
Standardisation of
the spelling of townlands and civil parish names was a result of the Ordinance
Survey in the 1830s. Official records after that date usually use the
standardised spelling. Counties that had a high level of Norman settlement,
have a high number of townlands and civil parishes. In Wexford, there are over
2,300 townlands and 134 civil parishes.
The following is a
link to a list of townlands with the standardised spelling from the Griffiths
Valuation:
Alphabetical: http://www.wexfordtown.ie/files/WT
Placenames 1860 alpha.htm
Alphabetical by
Civil Parish: http://www.wexfordtown.ie/files/WT
Placenames 1860 cp.htm
The following link
will give you a map of Civil Parishes. If you click on the name or on the map,
it will give you a list of the Townlands in that Civil Parish. You can also
search by clicking on "Placenames", but you need to use the
standardized spelling:
PLU's were districts created under the Poor Law Relief
Act of 1838 (aka the Poor Law). PLU's became 'General Registrar's Districts', areas
within which births, deaths and marriages were compiled. Some districts covered
areas that are outside of county boundaries. There are five PLUs for the county
of Wexford:
Enniscorthy (also includes a small part of the county
of Carlow)
Gorey
New Ross (also includes a small part of the counties
of Carlow and Kilkenny)
Shillelagh (also
includes parts of the counties of Carlow and
Wicklow)
Wexford
The Roman Catholic (RC) Parish is usually different in
size and shape to the civil parish, although they may have the same name.
Understandably this can lead to confusion. The RC parish also uses the same
townland names but not necessary the same boundaries. The following is a link
to the RC parishes and their townlands:

The State registration of marriages in Ireland began
in 1845 and births and deaths in 1864. Poor Law Union - or PLU's were districts
created under the Poor Law Relief Act of 1838 (aka the Poor Law). PLU's became
'General Registrar's Districts', areas within which births, deaths and
marriages were compiled. Some districts covered areas that are outside of
county boundaries.
The books of registrations are indexed according year
(later quarter of the year), volume and page. The registration books are stored
at the Oifig An Ard-Chláraitheora (General Register Office). Photocopies of
entries in the registers are available at a current cost (2011) of €4 in person
(plus a search fee of €2) and €6 by post. Photocopies contain exactly the same
information as a Certificate but are only of use for research purposes. Details
are available from:

Freeholders of Wexford
1775. Sir, We whose names are hereunto subscribed, anxious for the honour, and for the prosperity of the county of Wexford, earnestly entreat you to read, with attention, an explanation of the motives which induced Mr. Ogle not to solicit vote or interest prior to the late general election. It is the substance of an elegant verbal address from that gentleman to the freeholders, convened by the high sheriff, on Friday the 30th of June, 1775, in consequence of a requisition from a number of respectable freeholders. It was taken down by a person present, and printed in the Wexford paper of the 3d of July, 1775; it will be re-printed, at our particular desire, in the Wexford Chronicle for Monday next. http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/4872285 [Reproduction of original from National Library of Ireland. Signed by Robert Doyne and eight other interested parties. Note: Not listed in Catelog]

NEWSPAPER RECORDS
Irish National newspapers
have many lists of names and addresses of contributors to various causes;
Nationalist/political, Church and Charities. An interesting one is the amount
of money collected in the early 1870s for the relief of the French in the
Franco-Prussian War. Newspapers are hard to search unless you have dates.
Online databases are a lot easier.
The Echo newspaper
has regular columns of historical and family interest:
Ben Fenlon (d.
1900) - The father
of sixty children! http://www.wexfordecho.ie/news/mhsnidkfgb/

Dublin.— The first
ties of the Intercounty Hurling and Football Championship were played on July
20, at Elm Park, Merrion. The following were the counties and the teams which
represented them :— Wexford, Castlebridge Hurling Team ; Galway, Meelick
Hurling Club ; Louth, Dundalk Young Ireland Society F. C; Waterford, Ballydufl
Lower F. C. ; Limerick, Commercial F. O. ; Meath, Dowdstown F. 0. The Limerick
Commercial, in charge of P. Treacy (captain), and the Ballyduff men, in charge
of Tom Nolan (captain).on arrival at Kingsbridge received an enthusiastic
welcome from a couple of thousand Metropolitan Gaels (which included the
greater part of the C. J. Kickhams) and the Emmets (coal-porters) Fife and Drum
Band, which played them to the Provincial Hotel. The Castlebridge (Wexford)
men, who were accompanied by Father Wall, President, E. Walsh Chairman County
Wexford Executive G.A.A., and N. Kehoe, Hon. Sec., received a splendid
reception on arrival at Harcourt street, by a large crowd, who escorted them to
Elm Park. The play created great excitement, but passed off without a hitch. In
the football matches Dundalk Young Ireland Society beat Ballyduff Lower by a
goal and 8 points to 3 points, and Limerick Commercials beat Dowdstown (Meath)
by 3 goals and 3 points to 2 points Wexford, represented by Castlebridge, made
a brave but futile struggle at hurling against Galway, whose champion team,
Meelick, won by 2 goals and a disputed goal and 8 points to a goal for
Castlebridge.
