Hello,
I am looking for my husbands ancestors. They are Patrick Culleton 1760 and Joanna Murphy 1761. Joanna's parents were James Murphy and Bridget Keough. They all emigrated to Quebec, Canada in the early 1800's. I would love to know who Patrick's parents/family were, as well as Joanna's, and how many are still in Ireland.
Their son Denis married Mary Corcoran, also from Ireland.
Thank you also to Dr. Ed Culleton for posting his history about the Culleton name. It's very exciting to find even more rich history for my husbands ancestry. I would also like to know how closely related Ed is to our line.
Cheers,
Rose

Hi Rose,
Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone recognises the family and is able to assist you.
The dates you have mentioned are very early so it may be difficult to find information pertaining to the family. It may be an idea to contact the Local Studies Department of Wexford County Library to see if they can advise you as to what is available. Here is a link to their contacts page:
