Hi All Since my last message way back on the 11th February 2007 I have been actively in search of further information regarding my wifes mother's family background and finally after almost 14 years of searching I have finally come up with a positive answer. I originally stated that from a very poor copy of a birth certificate she was born in Rathmore, Co Wicklow. That statement has been missleading me all these years. I now have an official copy of her birth certificate and her marriage certificate, she was born as previously stated on the 14th January 1906 not as previously believed in Rathmore but in Rathnew, Co.Wicklow. Her mothers maiden name was Dempsey who married a Patrick BROWN in Ashford, Co Wicklow, on the 16th January 1932 again not as previously believed to be spelt Browne. Both families due to their very poor background are believed to have lived all their lives in that area. I have now written to the Parish Priest of Ashford, Co.Wicklow and I hope a reply of some description will be received in due course. I will keep you informed of that outcome. Anyone wishing to receive any of the updates that I have uncovered are more than welcome to contact me. Regards DEREK. W. WORTHY DELBOY295 |
