Searching for Bobier (Boobier, Beaubier) County Wexford

Restarting my search for my father's Irish family.  When I visited Wexford Town in 2019, I was helped by an historian at the library.  He found documents showing that my ancestors were, in fact, from County Wexford, probably Enniscorthy area.  Searches have revealed that most probably great, great, great ? grandparents were married at St. Mary's in Enniscorthy - the original church being burned in 1798 but rebuilt.  Strange and exhilarating to stand inside the church that was built on the same ground!  My grandfather AND great grandfather were William Henry Bobier. I believe my great, great, great grandfather was William Bobier who married Martha Willis in Enniscorthy.  I keep finding trails but no firm documentation due to floods, fires and wars!  Can anyone tell me where to go for firm, documented information?  Librarian (bless him) gave me copies for the claims for goods/land after the 1798 uprising that showed many Bobiers who lost much.  Any help will be appreciated and, if there are still Bobiers in Ireland, I would love to connect!

I searched our messages back to 2012 and only one other message had the surname Bobier in the title. Maybe it will be helpful.

I checked the 1911 census for all of Ireland and no Bobier records were found. Also, I checked the online Irish phone book (land lines only) and there were no Bobier records.

My grandmothers maiden name was Bobier - Beaubier. My grandmothers legal documents her maiden name was spelled Beaubier but her parents gravestones it was spelled Bobier. It was common to switch spelling back n forth. Burried in Needmore Cemetery by Potterville Mi. Her grand parents immigrated from Lambton, Ontario Canada. Joshua & Jane(McIntosh) & her father Alexander Bobier, thier son was born in Florence Onterio Canada. They all moved to Charlotte Mi. Joshua’s parents were Gregory A & Sarah Mary (Dockerill) Bobier, his parents were Gregory R & Martha(Willis) Bobier wexford Ireland. His father was John Bobier of Ferns Wexford Ireland. His parents was Thomas Bobier born in France wife Elizebeth Wright. We believe Thomas was from Scotland. My grandmother was Episcopalian like her parents. My mother, sister and I have more Scottish dna then Irish. Hope this helps, Gay Lietzke
