Wexford (county)
I am just starting research on my mothers (Irish) side of the family.The only info I have is from a conversation going back 10-15 years and the(very brief) notes I made shortly afterwards.
The family came from New Ross early 1900's.Grandparents-James Allen & Catherine(nee Kehoe).James had numerous siblings-2 names Seamus and Sean.Ihave several names on Catherines side-Mary Elisa,T(h)eresa,Anastasia,Tom,Edward.
James and Catherine moved to and lived in Birkenhead.Their children were Jimmy,John,George,Patrick,Joseph,Laurence,Margaret(my mother),Mary.
Mother remembered going back to New Ross(ferry from Liverpool)to visit relatives several times. One Grandfather on Allen side was apparently a farrier-one on grandmother(Kehoe)side was a cobbler.
Other info - a cousin apparently joined RAF and was killed in WW2,joining up apparently caused problems in family!!
An Uncle(not known which side of family)was said to be Sergeant Major in British Army-Regiment not known.
Not expecting too much but you never know-might ring a few bells!!

If you had the details of the births
and place born it is possible to search both 1901 & 1911 Census returns.

Surprise!
That's my family you're talking about. There's still a lot of them in the town and I'm sure they'll be easy to contact. Most of them have the same names as your branch of the family. I live in Spain now but you can contact me for more info if you like.

Hi Brian ,
I'm no relation whatsoever !! ...but my maiden name was Yates , so that's my "in ".
Seriously , I am helping to transcribe the war memorial for Clitheroe in Lancashire ...and we have an Edward Kehoe !!! You will find him on C.W.G.C. site ...Private 1576 , 1st /5th Battalion King's Own ( Royal Lancaster Regiment).
Died 5/5/1915.- grave is LVIII E. 4. Tyne Cot Cemetery .
I "believe " that he married Margaret Cahill , Old Fylde, 1906. ( freemd. rootsweb). Margaret died in Clitheroe 1918 ...and I think their children were :- John, Eileen (died young) , Mary and Caitlen.What happened to them I do not know .
That's it !!! ....hope it helps someone if not yourself . Regards

Hi Brian,
Don't think we connect . Mine were near , in Chapel en le Frith, Derbyshire , but don't think they moved from there 1700 to 1881.
Can you claim the Edward Kehoe I told you of ? It did say he was a native of New Ross and I would like parents names for my project if you think it IS him .
Thankyou . Shirley.
