Searching for any records on Simon Roach (Roche)

Hello,

Ballycullane, Tintern, is in County Wexford, a great distance from Mayo. Are you sure you have the correct Simon?

In the Tithe Applotment Books for Wexford, there were three heads of household named Simon Roche/Roach:

Surname             Forename                     Townland/Street   Parish    County Year

Roche    Simon    Clonmines And Arklow    Clonmines           Wexford              1833

Roach    Simon    Ballyvalloo                 Ballyvalloo   Wexford              1834

Roach    Simon    Ballyvaroge                Fethard         Wexford              1828

 

There were 22 Caulfields. See https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp…

Jelmar,

I agree with Patricia that Simon was probably not from Mayo as his marriage record that you have posted on your Ancestry tree shows the place of residence as Ballinanane (AKA Ballyanne) which is a town land in the RC parish of Ballycullane. If he was from county Mayo, it would have that in the information. The Griffith's Valuation for Ballyanne shows three men with the surname Roche...none are Simon. That doesn't mean that he did not live there though. Martin's baptismal record shows the family lived in Ballyanne as well. Thomas' and John' s baptism records show the family was living in Ballinruane....and, as Patricia indicated above, Thomas and Martin Caulfield lived in that same town land. Unsure of their relation to Catherine though. 

The civil death records began in 1871, so you can search irishgenealogy.ie for their death records. The correct registration district to put in the box is Enniscorthy. There are a number of possibilities for Catherine (Caulfield) Roche, but it might be difficult to figure out which one is hers because her three living children emigrated, thus were not present at death. Are you certain that her son died as a child? I ask because I saw a few entries of a son John present at death.

Regards,
