I am searching for my Menton ancestors who were in this parish [Gorey] in the mid to late 19th century.
My GG Grandfather Patrick Menton is a name I am particularly interested in and he was born between c1834 and his fathers name was John. I cannot find Patricks death anywhere and his wife Anne Murphy died in 1900 in Wicklow and death was registered in Rathdrum.
I have no info on Patricks mother but he had 2 siblings, Thomas who I know nothing about except he had address in Woodlawn Galway, and Clonsilla Gorwy, Wexford in 1881 when his brother Peter died and I got those details from his will.
Variations on the name have been common.ie; Minton, Monton, Manton Matan, Mentaan, Manrtain, Maintan etc.
All Menton records to do with this family would be of interest, as I currently have no BMDs for Thomas and have Patricks marriage detailos in 18867 in Gorey.
I have no birth details for brother Peter but have 2 marriages in Gorey in 1850 and 1877 and he was a widower on both so he had been married previously.
Possible siblings would be Brigid,James, Denis, Stephen, Anne, Mary as these run down the generations to the present day.
I currently have all records for my G Granddad Thomas Menton who lived in Dublin until his death in 1934 and he was the son of said Patrick.
I look forward to any reply.
