Hi Horetown people

I am seeking info on my fathers 2nd great grandparents John Lacey/Leacey and Mary McGrath.  I have no information on them at all.

Their son William came to Australia 1860-1870.  Apparently he was born in Horetown, Wexford Ireland as stated on his Australian marriage certificate and Waterford County on his death certificate.  He married Elizabeth Orange from Fethard in Australia 1879.  I have found the following record:

Name: Gulielmus Leacy

Birth Date : 1 Apr 1841

Baptism Date : 2 Mar 1841

Baptism Place : Wexford, Ballycullane, Ireland

Diocese : Ferns

Father : Joannes Leacy

Mother : Maria Mc Grath

Any assistance with information would be amazing.  Thank you

Regards Trish
