I am trying to trace my mothers family who were Furlongs from Wexford.

William Furlong married an Anastasia Hayes approx births estimated between 1768 and 1825.

Their son James Furlong estimated birth in Wexford of 1833 married Catherine Martin daughter of Thomas and Mary Martin. They immigrated to the West Coast of New Zealand.

My mother spoke of a Furlong Flour Mill and of having seen one of the Flour Bags printed with Furlong on it. 

I have tried many avenues in my search with little joy and am hoping someone over your way may be able to help.

Regards

Nicki

  • The 1901 census has 4 Furlongs in Co Wexford who were millers. In Yaletown, Ferns Town, Russelstown and John St, Wexford. Perhaps some of these are connected to your family?
