I'm trying to find relations of a farm labourer, Garratt or Garrett Rochford (Reatchford / Ratchford /Rushford / Rachford married to a Kate or Catherine Sullivan.  They have a son Michael born 1845-1848 somewhere in Wexford.

 I have found a Garratt Rochford listed as the father of a Bridget Rochford marrying a John Connor in 1864 in Dublin North.  The marriage record indicates she was age 26 therefore born ~1838.
