WicklowRathdrum (Wicklow)

Am looking for any information regarding the Gorman family from Newton Mount Kennedy.My great grandfather was Thomas Gorman born 1870 and married Mary BreslininOct-Dec 1892 in Kilquade, they went onto have seven children,Jane,Anne,Hugh,Sarah,Mary,Edward & Thomas. Anne died sometime after she was on the 1901 census and Mary died on 20/5/1912. Thomas remarried in 1913 to a lady called Ellen Egger from Greystones and had a further four children John,Marie,Hannah & Elizabeth.Sometime later, I have no dates, the family moved to Huddersfield West Yorkshire, although Jane & Mary went to New York and Hugh followed them in 1928.I am planning a trip to Newtown Mt Kennedy this summer and i would love to be able to visit the places my ancestors lived in and if possible find further information about the Gorman family

Ok so today is December 27/12/20 because of Covid our visit never happened but i am hoping we can do this in 2021.

Griffiths Valuation (free online) has 12 Gormans in Wicklow 1854 including this one:

No Gormans in Wicklow in the irish Censuses of 1841 or 51so no addresses I'm afraid.

There are 13 Gormans in the Tithe Applotments 1825-33 http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/

There are no burial records for Wicklow on rootsireland so I couldn't find any Gorman death records for you
