Old Ross & New Ross

thomas,

Can you be a little more specific?  What years or dates?  What places?  Any parents names??

Anne

Hello and greetings from the sunny south east of Ireland

I came across the following births to Thomas Mackesy and Fanny Larkin on familysearch.org (free site):

Margaret 1864, Patrick 1866, Johannah 1868,  Ellen 1872, Honora 1874. All born in Co. Wexford, some shown as Old Ross Co. Wexford.  

Thomas Mackesy d. 1929 in Ohio born c.1864 (probably 1863 - the year before civil registration) parents names given as Thomas Mackesy and Fanny Larkin of Wexford

I found the Mackessy family living in the townland of Ballintober near New Ross in Co. Wexford in both 1901 and 1911censuses

Mother Fannie, 79 in 1911, states that she had 12 children, 11 of whom are still alive.  Unfortunately only herself and an unmarried daughter Anne, a farmer and two servants are still in the family home in 1911

Hope all that's of interest and help to you.  If you wish to explore it further feel free to drop me a line at waterfordorigins@gmail.com

Warm wishes to you
